Ml doesn't become remorseful after learning the truth and even avoids her for bit because he can't handle the fact that she has a human woman form too. Then after a few panels she just forgives him like nothing happened, in fact she immediately acts loving from the moment she gets released. No remorse arc, absolutely nothing.
The aide (brown haired guy) will even treat her hurt wrists once the emperor imprisons her again, then he imprisons the aide too. And all that, simply gets forgotten. I hate the emperor, he's dumb, annoying and uninteresting.
I disliked fl at the start but now i love her, as for ml, i liked him at the start but now his behavior made me feel disgusted.
What does the "Do you even have a right to refuse?" even mean?!? Of course she has, it's her fucking body.
Yes, Garon killed mc's mother (based on the novel) and yes, second ml is innocent aside from his drunken behavior (he's still an angel in comparison to Garon). Accept it already and don't search for a justification just because you feel bad for liking a horrible character.
Garon IS a rapist, IS a murderer and IS racist. Mc is going to fall for the murderer of his mother. Oh and he killed mc's mother just because he was bored. Being bored made him feel like wiping out a whole tribe with different species since he considers them disgusting and bellow him. There wasn't a single meaning behind his actions, it was like changing a channel on tv for him.
That's who Garon is. There's no redemption for him so don't expect any. He's a sadistic sociopath. The story is dark and there's not going to be any 'groveling' the way people want it.
If you like him, go ahead, nobody's gonna judge you, it's fiction. But he is who he is, let's not be delulu.
Imagine Leo, a rapist, loose manwhore calling ANYONE a whore lmao Talk about hypocrisy and lack of self awareness. If anything, she should be scared in case she caught STD from him. The only non pure thing in the room is him
Bro: "I'm sorry i was selfish"
Also Bro: Continues to be selfish by leaving her no option other than to be with him and putting her in danger through making the fact that she's his mate public knowledge.
Thanks pookie, such character development!
Mincheol was always like this, he just didn't show it (and with this, I don't mean he hid it, it's a non conscious part of him) because he had something to gain from the way his past relationship went like, he was having fun. The problem with him isn't even that he got 'bored', but the way he treated mc over it. Do you think abusive people are always horrible? That they never had good sides? How do you think abusive relationships survive despite the abuse? By being constantly abusive? Definitely not. People like him get to show their true selves when they get 'comfortable'. They have a good side, they have hopes and dreams but at their core they're rotten.
I've been a victim to a narcissist and it only hits you after you become emotionally invested and it gets really hard to leave. You keep on having doubts like 'What if it's my fault? What if i give up now, i lose something that has the chance to be fixed?'. But trust me, these thoughts are only self destructive. People like him are only capable of loving themselves and you'll always come second. They fall in love with the 'idea' of love, not you.They fight for the sake of this idea, not you. They enjoy being 'wanted' and 'needed' and if you become irreplaceable to them, it's not because you are irreplaceable as an individual but as an obedient object that gives them a sense of self importance. If he cries from losing their relationship, he'll cry for himself, for losing what he always had. There's a thinner line which distincts selfishness and genuine love than people think. Non abusive people enjoy being needed as well BUT it's interconnected with the person they share their love with, something which makes them willing to AT LEAST feel remorse and unwillingness to treat the person they were with all these years THIS way(the way Mincheol did), even if they want to break up. They do NOT blame everything on one side and feel a basic level of compassion due to the attachment towards a 'human being' and not someone they view as an object. Either way, hope this makes sense because i tried to explain something too abstract.
Was he traumatized by the difficulties of life like mc? Yes. But, let me repeat my favorite verse:
trauma is not an excuse for perpetuating harm and suffering, nor a free forgiveness card for causing emotional or physical pain to others. Trauma may help explain why someone is primed to think, feel, behave, or react in certain manners or in certain contexts. But having experienced trauma is by no means a justification for harmful behavior and no amount of trauma exempts a traumatized person from being held accountable if and when they hurt others.
This is not his 'trauma' only, this is also 'him' because he's a selfish individual. He should be held accountable and pay the consequences.
Guys, this pos is gonna kill her best friend from the orphanage and guess what? Fl will go berserk. She is NOT your usual people-pleaser, back then in the orphanage, she found out that her friend was also getting abused by the principal, so she burned the pedophile alive. Yes, you read that right, she was the one who set the fire. She's the type of person that accepts any type of abuse directed at her, until you decide to hurt the people she values lol Dude is going to regret doing that, because she's smarter and can be more evil than him. You go girl!
A person with antisocial personality disorder 'attracted' to a vulnerable people-pleaser they can control. A tale as old as time. But i have a feeling that fl is more that she shows she is and this pos is going to regret his existence lmao
If only he didn't catastrophize and assessed the situation calmly and objectively, perhaps we would have avoided this situation
He's gashlighting her like crazy. Every single one of his arguments can easily be discounted but Chloe doesn't have the willingness to truly fight back or she's intentionally written to be naive (which doesn't fit with her character that is supposed to be sharp and intelligent). The dialogue (what dialogue lol) between them was frustrating because the willingness of one of the characters to engage and defend their views was severely lacking and truthfully, insulting to the female gender. I wasn't under the impression that she wasn't going to end up with the bastard but i expected a bit more fight from sis. That's all.
I really like it! And fl seems to be very down on earth, despite being born a noble. She was never spoiled, if anything she was abused so life as a maid with true friends is much better for her.
Fl's personality is frustratingly dumb and the plot doesn't have a smooth flow. Not that excited to continue.
