fl is as vain as everyone who judged her and her sister based on their beauty. she was as vain as all her exes that chose her sister, just bc she's the victim of her own vanity doesn't mean she's not the exact same as those who judged her bases on appearances. like thinking Shane would obviously fall in love with her sister bc she's pretty. does she really think all ppl are so surface level and rotten? and if so, why would she fall for someone like that? and instead of improving herself and her self confidence and searching her own beauty, she abandoned and decided to become rotten inside, distrustful and not change a thing.
she's truly unlikeable and i say that as an "ugly duckling" myself. i hate characters like that, basing their whole worth and the worth of others on outer beauty. like she might be lamenting in self pity but she also judges her sister as being nothing but her beauty, like that scene in swan princess "you're beautiful. -what else? is beauty all that matters to you? - what else is there?" but about her own sister.
when will women in the ml's circles, be it colleagues, acquaintances, friends or family not be jealous bitches? like way to paint women as horrible people, except the perfect, pure, naive, forgiving fl. knowing those romances are written by women makes this even worse, like internalized misogyny is a disease
I'm sorry but for one absolutely batshit crazy criticism to shape your view of yourself, you really have to be weak. like accidents happen, she was 15 and pushing someone a little too hard pn the swing doesn't happen "bc she was never loved by her mother".
i had a childhood really similar to her, but if someone had told me that, I'd think he was an absolute buffoon and dismiss what he said as something said under the anger and anxiety of his daughter being hurt. bc that's such a fucking stretch
like always, a damsel in distress full of self hatred and no eye for ppl that needed to be saved by a man to truly start living and gain worth.
like bffr, it doesn't take a genius to realise that her cousin always hated her and was jealous and orchestred the whole "missing hairpin" fiasco. and it doesn't take a genius to value your life more than a hairpin given by some man who then told ylu you smelled like a monkey. there's nothing likeable about the fl, and the most unlikable traits she has is her stupidity and self-hatred
blade girl and run with your new legs are really dear to me
welcome to today's episode of "man wants perfect wife without being perfect husband" !
they should add mental gymnastic to the olympics and those 2 would get gold in no time with how they'd rather assume anything other than being honest with each other until the end.
ml truly has to be an absolute idiot to not profess his undying love when the fl says "i don't wanna marry you bc you feel responsible", it's doesn't take a genius to understand that she would marry for love and thus he should make her fall in love instead of winning her over with "logic". and the first step of making someone fall in love is by telling them you love them, who knows, maybe they were in love with you all along too. if there's one situation where you should show all your cards and not play any mind games, it's love
the use of ai for the stained glass in the lore part is disappointing and really cuts you out from the established universe by how out of place it looks
IT IS AI???(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
WAIT WHAT CHAPTER IS THAT??
chapter 43, if it is really ai that's disappointing ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I don't see it, I reread the whole thing I don't think it's ai, what part was it, like the walls or the background?
it's the part where a knight is in front of a yellow/orange stained glass window. the glass part is ai, you can see it bc of the texture of the glass that's a dead giveaway of ai coloring
I think I'm just blind to ai art cus it doesn't look ai to me, it just seemed too overdetailed compared to the art style so it looks ai, but for me it looks like a sticker you can copy paste
it's probably an imagine they pasted, but it is ai indeed
why is the woman always the one crying and begging and the man the one explaining and apologizing almost coldly. i want to see a man cry and beg pathetically too
a giant pile of garbage, it's always the "she's not like other women" and the "I'm not the type of women ppl fall for" and the "you were a vigrin, i shouldn't have taken you to bed" and the "I'm keeping you in the country by force by withholding your passport"
