Cael-
"Obsession disguised as loyalty."
Helios -
"Passivity and weakness."
Hestia -
"Selfish vengeance disguised as justice"
Diana-
"the tragic heroine hidden in the shadow of others’ narratives."
tragic heroine my ass. she deserved everything that happened yo her. actually, it's not enough.
Well no matter how much I re-read this story ......the fact is that Diana may had been a self-centred person but who drived her to become this crazy was infact the main characters as well
did we read the same story? she was like that from the start. even when hestia didn't do anything, him and helios divorced because she had issues. we just saw how unhinged she got because we're following hestia's point of view
her**
No we did read the same story but from another POV...this entire story is from Hestia's POV but if we were to look it from Diana 's POV she was alone. She carried insecurities without anyone helping her carry them. And when nobody listens to your fears, when even your closest bonds let you slip away, desperation can start to look like madness. But that doesn’t mean she was ever truly bad — it means she was drowning, and no one pulled her out.
I don't know man honestly this is the first time I have ever felt so bad for a negative character. I feel like if only she had someone to actually guide her properly.....just look at her now ........all her life ever since she was a kid all the hardwork she did to reach where she is today only to lose everything because when for the first time she really needed someone to support her in her marriage life or anything nobody was there .....only to make her who she is today
i'm sorry but you sound like you're overglorifying and justifying diana's shitty behavior TwT you also conveniently didn't mention how much she wronged caelus to the point that he committed suicide. it's true that diana also had her struggles, but it was obvious that she wasn't even remorseful for her actions until the end when she was stripped of her position and she lost everything.
i don't know what you mean by nobody saving her because helios was literally always there by her side? caelus was too at one point. helios was ready to bend heaven and earth for her, he even acted blindly and gave in to her ridiculous requests. diana got too greedy and her head grew. she was given a chance to sincerely apologize for her mistakes but she didn't. she deserved what she got.
also, calling hestia's vengeance as selfish is so questionable. we read from her point of view. we saw all of her struggles and why she did what she did. it's so odd to me that you can empathize with diana but call hestia selfish for what she did? you can empathize with a horrible person but not a person who suddenly got transmigrated to a different world with no one else beside her?
If you want each and everything 's explanation then sure....
All her life Diana followed the philosophy of Gods and there way of living....When Diana ,Helios and Cael became friends or whatever their relationship was..... Multiple times Diana warned Cael that they should be solve everything n every problem without violence....Why did you think she choose Helios in the first place because he understood her believes and wanted to support her in her strong belief of non-violence. But what did Cael do he simply went ahead and massacred and entire family because they were trying to harm Diana...Let's be for real, if someone comes to you and tells u for u I have massacred everyone n everything that stood in your way that's not love that's OBSESSION and that point was IT . The only way Diana felt to make him regret his actions was to stop talking to him... Comeon there are alot of manhwas where when a villains does this kind of behaviour many FL have went ahead and declared them villain and ended up killing them . The same was with Cael...it was basically like all her efforts to her way of achieving was completely destroyed by Cael....that's why that happened
Also about Helios......he may had always been there with her but he was never there when she actually needed someone to help her , guide her or explain her that she is wrong. You know all the time what he did to explain her....Diana let's go an apologise.....Diana let's go and apologise..... Ofcourse she won't she had lost her mind and all she can see is that they are trying to harm her ...she is getting drove to madness and instead of making her see the positive side of everything you are justing pushing everything on her......
And About Hestia ...... Honestly there is absolutely nothing to feel sad about her......When she reincarnated in that world....what did she suffer from huh? She had treasures and everything... She was basically told yes go and do whatever you want which she did........and she Knew that Cael would suffer from a bad ending what did she do then ? ..... Where was her sense of justice for Cael then .... because she was thinking about herself only.... She wanted to go back to her world ........this was what she wanted to achieve n to achieve that she was even ready to let Cael have a bad ending if she could go back to her world and then it happened.....she couldn't go back to her world so what did she do then ..... Nothing she live her life n die....when she finally saw that in his obsession with Diana Cael killed himself......seeing someone die infront of her left a trauma in her but still she just accepted what happened with him and for the next 2 years just lived... However She was confused about everything that she was going through only to hear that the FL and ML have gotten divorce so her final answer Yes everything wrong happened because of her ....and immediately God listened to her wish and just went ahead with her new life and you know why even at this point I never felt sad for her because even in her new life she still saw everyone as a chess piece (just characters from book) and that's why she did whatever she felt like and honestly she had everyway to achieve everything unlike Diana who only had her believes and philosophies through which she was who she was .....and was already suffering because of her major life shift ....Diana kept on adding her selfish revenge one after the other even though Cael Helios themselves said it's fine now ( they wanted there old friendship to return back ) Ok I don't mind if Hestia wanted to continue well atleast she was determined ONLY FOR THAT DETERMINATION TO INSTANTLY Vanish when she realised OH THIS IS A REAL WORLD AFTERALL clearly not owing up to her deeds of driving Diana crazy , worsening Diana and Helios relationship, driving the entire Kingdom to debts and financial loss , breaking apart a strong relationship between 3 friends, even ignoring the King 's symptoms and not letting him get healed.......and again selfishly going ahead and enjoying her entire life with Cael happily ever after.
"And with this the little dragon brother also ended up meeting his soul mate but that is another story"
Nooooo Enzooooo plsssss be the toppppp mannnn Σ( ￣□￣||)
Personally after reading this I felt -" Woah this ML sure was a scary man " like so genius twisted personality but in the end he was able to save everyone (through his manipulative n dirty scheme) . More like all is well that ends well
Everyone in the comment section is asking why isn't the FL doing anything. Tell me what should she do?
1) Run away - only to get caught after 10 mins
2)Ask the 2nd ML to release Shinpei - She did and even begged him too that resulted in nothing
3) Should help ML overcome his every problem - From the past 40 chapters she was exactly doing that only which she thought finally worked but in the end he returned back to his Psycho tendencies
4) Should jump in between the fight - only for Shinpei to end up protecting her n seeing her beloved dying
5) Should ask to stop the wedding - Only to end up making enemies of the most powerful family of their country....she is already not able to handle her father, how will she handle the duke
What she is doing currently
Knowing that duke 's family are sympathetic towards her with the eldest son liking her . She was trying to gain their support n suppress her father ( even if she had to marry) in order to atleast protect her loved ones from almost dying again . This way no one has to die . Later with more time given to her , she could have convinced 2nd ML for a divorce which she believed she could. Perhaps because she thinks she could die any moment, her priority should be protecting the ones who care about her rather than her future which she thinks doesn't exist.
This makes sense but she has to do something because if she doesn't do something soon shinpei's gonna kill everyone person around her or maybe die himself.
U know personally I feel she is in a worse possible scenario. Her best option which I think she can do now is pretty dark
Kill her father (or perhaps get him kidnapped n pretend he has died) n making her act like she needs to return to the position of head of her family now then officially breaking off the marriage. She should then lock Shinpei up in a room. Then she should threatening Shinpei up by putting a knife around her own neck that if he doesn't get his shit right she is killing herself that instant which will get Shinpei to act normal. Then ....I don't know somehow make Shinpei pretend as a foreign noble who is offering a marriage proposal to her then in a pretend get married to him then ...I don't know steal lots of money from her house n run away with Shinpei to some far away land n start off fresh . What do u think?
I think, she should should just hug shinpei and shield him from others while begging him or threatening (by saying she'd kill herself) him to stop and then welp I think she should run away with shinpei while the other three who were with shinpei protect them from other. run away as far as they can and settle down and live happily for what so counted day she has
that would be so sweet
So basically the God of this story was sad that one character ended up with sad ending so to make his story happy she ended up making other's story the unhappy one and now she satisfied?
But the only reason why Diana got her happy ending was thanks to Kael (like it's often the case in dramas with the 2ML). So it did feel unfair. I think the way they both abandoned him to his own death made the 'happy ending' sour and not satisfying at all. They weren't worthy of his sacrefice.
She literally stated that she did not think hestia would act like that.
You know I read a similar story before I got to this manhwa . It's a popular one
I picked up the 2nd ML after the ending
The scenario was exactly the same ....the 2nd ML committed crime n his best friends ML and FL abandoned him n sent him to the coldest region to live in exile. Feony the MC , she didn't went to take revenge against them , she just simply go to The 2nd ML to give him happiness. When he became happy with his life , issues between 2nd ML n his best friends after few talks immediately got resolved but in this case I feel things could have resolved in a better way . Now suddenly Diana is abandoning her plans of revenge n all because only now she is ready to accept her reality after everything n every planning she decided to do . Just like I didn't like the FL of that story , I don't like Hestia aa well but still there really was a better way to handle everything.
Even when Hestia didn't intervened, Diana's life still imploded (cause she wasn't worthy of her powers anymore, she helped cover the corruption of the temple and eventually ended up getting a divorce) so I don't think it's as much "destroying the other characters happiness for one character" but "let's make sure this guy doesn't end up dying after being treated awfully by a couple that isn't even going to last anyways"
What's the name of that story please?
It's also about giving her the ending she really deserved. Diana was a bitch who thought she was better than everyone because of her powers, thinking she was the chosen one. And you're right, the reason why she lost her powers is most likely because the god wasn't happy with the way she turned so selfish and shallow. So that explains why the god wasn't mad at Hestia, Diana had already lost the her favor.
I picked up second male lead after the ending.....it's actually more popular than this one
You know at the beginning of this manhwa when Hestia meets Diana for the first time....I felt somewhere that there was still a possibility of her not going to the wrong side u know..... somewhere she was influenced by the church and her own believes that she forgot what her actually duties as a saint were. She believed spreading the moral of life away from materialism n living a simple life is what she needs to preach ....well till that time I still believed she could go back to normal or accept her reality now . If Hestia had tried to deal this not in a revenge manner, I think everyone could have had a happy ending
Well I think ML did right in a way. I have read many Guideverse stories n since the MC did not had any regeneration (E class) powers he was basically the same as a normal person . It was like he just use his power once then all his powers are finished too he ends up being a normal person. The country exploited him because he was S -class. I think the only way ML actually had in order to prevent him from dying was to medically release him from his duties .
Besides the MC was so patriotic it was next to impossible to convince him not to go on mission. Though ML 's methods were really forced n all still I also see it was the only way to protect him from getting exploited . I think that's why the author has shown so many incidents of MC almost dying.
Yes Guys hate me all you like but I want to ship these two both Satoko and The Second ML. But Yeah would love it if this happens after they become good friends or partners who feel support of each other
Poly...?! Only reason i dont think thats happening is because he clearly dislikes him
Just hopes that This 2nd ML don't end up dead . He is too good
Comeooooooonnnn at this point justtty do itttt alreadyyyyy
