Do we need to look like a guy to be deemed powerful, strong, competent and worthy of leadership positions?
When Iris became the Marchioness, she turned to tailcoats and male suits. When Iris became the Empress, she cut her hair short like a boy I thought this was shounen-ai. I don't like that the author-nim subtly hinted that looking masculine is strong and powerful, whereas looking feminine is weak and derogatory. Being feminine is not weak. Fragile masculinity is weak. Iris looked hideous in those clothing. She looked vulnerable and out of place.
Don't get me wrong, no hate on masculine women, if that's who you are. But subtly putting down femininity as 'weak' and 'unworthy of leadership' is pure garbage. Stop pushing out garbage narrative.
On another note, story is just meh. All the MLs were not notable short of being fairy godmothers to rescue a damsel in distress.
Ronia please grow up. Mentally and emotionally. Fight back against your useless brother and parents. Be strong for yourself. Love yourself more.
Dogs like them bark the loudest because they are the biggest cowards among you.
Ronia, you are already strong, so don't get weak in front of damn puny insects like them.
Alright I don't know who the scanlation team for chapter 3 and 4, but please.. please for the love of God.. please STOP USING THAT GOD FORSAKEN FONT. It is hard to read, I almost burst a blood vessel one time, it is too comedic, and I can't take her anger seriously when she is shouting in cutesy cartoon scribble god damn it..
Dropping. I was very, so very disappointed with the character design. Especially the FL Meia. She is as fake as plastic. Also, why is she always refraining the Duke from disciplining bad behaviour done by the children? In an attempt to appear 'merciful', no punishment should be doled out to misbehaving child? That is how you create entitlement and wrong moral compass in a child. The punishment was not even that bad, it was simply a ban from going to the garden.....
And what's with her face? She is always smiling to hide her real thought. She said all nice words while hiding her bad prejudice all the time.
And yet she was so 'selfless' and 'kind', she even asked the injured Duke to tear up her skirt (revealing her entire legs











I am dropping this at chapter 40.. I just can't continue this... I cannot like the uke no matter how much I put in effort to... I just don't like the character and story.........
