the harlequin ml always have the most bs reasoning "i saw my mom fall apart bc she wasn't loved so I'll never love anyone and treat women even worse than my father treated my mom, bc somehow what i retained from my parents marriage is that love doesn't exist and not that the lack of love destroyed them"

how can you claim she's clever and well read and show how stpuid and foolish she is in the same breath.

like even if she's not actually a villainess and doesn't have a bad bone in her. it doesn't take a genius to know that saying "I'm a villainess" convinces no one and that no bad person will ever proudly/smugly say they're a bad person like that.

she acts like a child playing house, having to state her role so that others and herself don't forget

ah yes, a woman who slowly kills herself (bc letting yourself die is killing yourself at some point) by fear of bothering others and the status quo

the heros becoming the greatest villains bc they never got recognized kinda like that one webtoon return of the hero or something is a great plot

why did i take so long to read this webtoon? it's magnificent and gut wrenching.

also, who else was struck from the start by how similar laslo and the emperor look? even more so after his little makeover

ah yes, excusing treating ppl like mindless dolls bc "they have to follow the plot" and trempling on other people's autonomy bc "i have trauma" and bc she's the female lead.

like she dehumanizes the love interest and female lead so much, if she forced the plot a bit more she'd become the ultimate villain.

truly, the female leads who forcibly move along the plot (except their bad ending) for their own gain with no consideration for the lives tehy impact feel more like antagonists than protagonists. it feels disgusting

can we fibally see the baby inside of 10+ side stories of them fucking and fucking and fucking and fucking as if we didn't understand that they love each other and are horny af

i hate those kinds of side stories, side stories are for small moments you couldn't fit in the story, not fuck fest

the epitome of sheltered noble girl. does know anything about levels, adventurer or even life in the city. she probably never left her house

why are ppl dumb and refuse to think that the one they're searching for isn't the obvious one?

the way translator always romanize names weirldy. her name's obviously Liliana, not Ririana. it's not even that hard to recognize. reading Ririana just pulls me out of the narrative and now i imagine them talkonh with a thick japanese pronunciation

is she crazy? of course he wont sleep with a 12 yo child. but he should not have let her be desigraced either and made it clear where she stands instead of neglecting her bc he doesn't want to appear to be a pedophile.

sometimes i can't believe our dear mc is related to this idiotic cousin

okaay but the "overworked genius that nobody treats well finally gets discovered by someone with a good pair of eyes and a brain" is so overused especially the "I'm so used to overwork that i feel sooo guilty for not working" i get it but it's annoying

sihyeon being babied by the whole universe, sihyeon being the most baby of them all

always men and men centric women huh. that guy is annoying, doing wtv he wants with no consideration for the consequences.

"oh yeah, what if i became close with a count's daughter when i know that my marquis' daughter of a fiancee is a bitch that will bully her" and what if you used your brain a bit huh?

a "lovingly" negligent man and an obtuse "betrayed" woman, both as foolish and immature as the other. one never talks and the other assumes they know everything/the truth about the other's feeling. they'll keep misasing each other.

while I'd love for her to spread her wings, it would be ideal if she chose to do so after knowing the whole truth and not from a dream born of a series of misunderstanding. like we say in french, it should be "en toute connaissance de cause" (with the whole knowledge of the cause) and not from ignorance, bc that's truly frustrating. and let's not kid ourselves, while the ml is fully to blame, the fl is as awful a communicator as him, while shre did reach out throughout the years, she never showed any yearning for understanding, love or even simple friendship with the man she was supposed to spend the rest of her life with, just surface level word vomit about the weather or some shit. at least the ml put more thoughts in his reason to "ignore" her letters that she did writing them fu of empty curtesy
