I'm a bit disappointed in the female lead. I was hoping she'd be more..Calm, Collected and Smart. Like she'd have this certain vibe around her. Kinda like The Villainess reverses the hourglass but not as smart. I don't know, I think it was just me wanting that. She's still smart but just- Not as...Plotful? I don't know if it's the right term. I just wanted her to have more cards up her sleeve and more information. I guess it's a different situation though so it won't happen. I still like her character though but I'm just hoping for a bit of scheming and Villainess things.
I'm not necessarily liking the female lead as much it's like chapter 40 and I'm starting to dislike her. At first I loved her character because she was smart but now I feel like she's becoming dumber by the chapter. Like she was worried that ML killed her maid and then the next chapter she suddenly admits to loving him? I don't understand this. She constantly thinks he's a psychopath and is scared of him then the next chapter she'll boss him around or something. I just don't see the consistency. She's like every other FL now with that shitty attitude while falling in love. The first 20 chapters really had me intrigued now she's really losing her likeable points. I don't dislike her enough to drop this but it's just a bit annoying.
she's never been truly scared of him which is obvious from how she talks to him and her actions have always been consistent with her personality. Also, how she being bossy. Del treats her as an equal and not inferior like other ml's so he listens to her. I don't if you only skimmed this but I recommend rereading if you truly think that. It's fine to not like her but your reasoning for it is flawed
Uhm? Are you kidding? He pushes everyone who is close to FL away. He literally made her maid go away. That's obsessive. He plans on like completely dominating her and hates when others talk to her. And why does she shiver around him and such? She may not be scared of him all the time but there are definitely times where she is really scared of him. And I've seen quite a few scenes where she's demanding him to do something or not do so3.
I don't think Caidel has evil intentions. You guys are really just overthinking it. I think that everyone is expecting for Caidel to just be supportive of Eleanor 100%. Don't forget he suffered a lot also and it was because of Eleanor. Now, Of course she didn't like intend to do it but she still did. I think because we received Eleanor's POV we really forgot how hard Caidel had it because of her. He has been 1000× more supportive then he needs to be. Like, He's gone beyond in helping Eleanor while still comprehending his own emotions and trying to figure out what he wants. He's had to deal with so much all alone. Eleanor hasn't once checked on his mental health or tried seeing how he really feels while he's acting positive. I used to believe that he shouldn't hurt Eleanor but I'm just saying, If he does, I do think he has some sort of reasoning. Everyone's just focused on Eleanor and totally forgot that he's suffered a lot too. Like, So much has happened for the both of them but nobody pays attention to Caidel because Eleanor is so sensitive that she needs his full attention. The poor guy hasn't even had time to sort out his feelings. Yes, He did accept her but he still has a lot to think about. But I don't think he intends to kill her at all. Like, He genuinely likes her but his feelings are probably just all over now. He needs some mental healing also. You guys better start realizing Eleanor isn't the only one suffering. Just because it's her POV doesn't mean the other party didn't get hurt or go through massive pain. I'm on team Caidel. He has already gone above in beyond tolerating, Accepting, Pushing forward and understanding what has happened. Like he's carry two peoples suffering on his shoulders yet he hasn't cracked at Eleanor. I absolutely love him and have faith in him.
Exactly! And am'i the only one who don't like the female lead( it is my opinion. So please don't attack me).We know she suffered and blabla but i don't know, like noah said, she never confonted her fears ( i konw it is not easy). it is like the author showed us the flashbacks to have sympathy, i don't say it is her fault the death of people.
Yes! I don't exactly hate Eleanor because I understand why she's like this from her Trauma but Caidel has been so supportive yet she doesn't trust him all the way and it just saddens me that Caidel has to wait so long for her trust.
Yes ╥﹏╥
That's right, The story started off with caidel being bullied and being an orphan until he was taken in by hadeslane. Since, the manhwa started off with introducing male lead unlike other's where fl gets introduced first. I thought the story was gonna revolve around caidel's story. But, after 10 chapters or so, nothing much about caidel got revealed except for the fact that he was searching for a witch because, she happened to be responsible for that fire in his childhood. I wish they could show his side of story too...after knowing too many traumatic truths he is surely going through a lot too. It must be hard for him to laugh and act like usual when there are so many questions going through his mind.
Exactly!
Right? And Eleanor's lack in trust in him makes it so much more harder. He has to fight for her trust constantly, Help her with her problems, Solve his own emotions and deal with the vampire. There's just so much he goes through. I don't think Eleanor is supporting him enough. I genuinely hope they get married and be happy together but the relationship isn't healthy with the constant give and take situation.
Hmm. I'm not sure if Caidel will be 100% supportive of Eleanor since these couple chapters he's been having these "dark" scenes. Additionally, he's observing Eleanor to see if she's the "arsonist" even after she told him about her past. Going back to the "dark scenes," if you think about it, it began after Eleanor told him about her past. I dont get what you mean when by "she didn't intend to do it but still.." are you talking about the fire? because she literally didnt do anything. The only moment where Caidel suffered was when Caidel was little and getting beaten by his father and bullied by other kids. Of course, he suffered too and its really nice how he's willing to support Eleanor, but isn't it normal to support the person you like and figure out your own feelings especially in a relationship? Yeah, Caidel had to deal with so much all alone but arent you forgetting that Eleanor literally had no one? She had to deal with every little thing all alone. Caidel had Hadeslane growing up and Eleanor had herself, like you have to think about both characters. As for checking how each other is doing, I think Caidel is kinda sus because as we just learned, Caidel has been "oberserving" Eleanor and I think asking how she is is part of him observing Eleanor. As for Eleanor, I'd like to say that maybe she's just overwhelmed by the whole concept that for the first time she's not going to be alone anymore but since the story is kinda based off her pov, we already know that.
The whole point of my comment was really just saying that Caidel has suffered a great deal because of Eleanor. Why was he even with the abusive man in the first place? Because of her eyes. Of course she can't do anything about it and she tried her best but I'm saying it still was her being around him that caused problems. And when she killed all of those people in the village on accident. I'm not saying that Eleanor didn't have it hard but I just want to spread awareness that Caidel went through a lot also and he doesn't deserve so much hate that he's receiving. If he does do something, Then I can see where his actions justify. And what Caidel is doing isn't normal. Eleanor is relying on him far too much. Like, She can't do that much without him anymore. I understand she'll take some time to get stable again but she's really just using him as much as she can and he's perfectly fine with it. The relationship is really just Eleanor takes, Caidel receives her halfheartedly trust and affection for her back. The dark scenes are really probably just Caidel trying to sort out his feelings. You should understand that he's carrying the weight of both of them. Eleanor does feel guilty but she isn't carrying Caidels guilt. I don't think she's checked up at all on Caidel so far unless she needs something or wants to see him. She hasn't even though about how conflicted he's feeling with everything going on. It's a totally different situation for both of them. Caidels situation deserves so much morr awareness.
Exactly and oufff Finally someone said it!
Yeah I'm not saying that he didn't suffer, im just saying that it's not eleanor's fault or that he suffered cuz of eleanor. If you recall, the mom was the one who asked Eleanor to watch after Caidel before she passed away. The father was a violent man who was only into drinking and gambling. Eleanor simply followed her teacher's wish/will. When her hair turned all white and one of her eyes turned black, someone called her a witch and threw something at her. She knew she couldn't be with people so she just watched from a distance. So no, Caidel wasn't being abused because he was with Eleanor, it was just because the dad was an abusive drunk. As for the people in the village, they chained eleanor and burned her house while she was in it. while slowly suffocating to death she managed to draw a magic circle from a book that fell on the floor, thus allowing her to summon a demon who allowed her to know the reason why she looked the way she did, whilst taking 666 souls in return. She was desperate and didn't know at the time because she couldn't even read that well, especially in a burning house. I haven't really seen the "hate" comments on Caidel so I wont say much on it but if its along the lines of "he better not do something to eleanor" then I couldn't call that hate but rather just a conclusion from the dark caidel scenes. Like you said it could just be Caidel sorting his emotions but we cant say for sure since we didn't create the story. Also im not quite sure what you mean by him being the one thats carrying the weight of them both (its a legitimate question don't distroy me).
Okay, Caidel is always helping Eleanor. She always relies on him. I understand it's trauma but she relies on Caidel far too much. For example, If Caidel suddenly disappeared one day, What would Eleanor do? She can't do much on her own except hide in her house. She'd probably resort to that again rather then sorting out her issues and trying on her own. It's like whenever a problem arises, Eleanor just has to rely on Caidel to solve it for her while she wants to run away. She's slowing getting better but, She's still so afraid of taking a first step. I hope she realizes she shouldn't rely on Caidel forever. She should learn how to walk on her own two feet someday. So far all of the problems that she got through was mainly because Caidel was there for her. She's like leaning on him even though he's like, 10 years younger? I remember she was like 16 when he was 6 or so. He should be the one leaning on her for support. It was completely Eleanors own will to summon the demon. She got herself into that mess for not realizing that it obviously didn't come free of price. I understand she was about to die but still, I rather die than take that sort of chance. And it really seemed like when she was younger, She was okay with dying. Like she acted as if she could die any day and not really care all that much. But just when she actually almost dies, she suddenly decides to live on? Anyways my point is that Eleanor just really relies on Caidel for a lot of things when she should learn how to support herself. She'll take time to heal but I hope that it'll happen eventually and she won't just lean on Caidel on the time. ( Meaning that she usually has Caidel solve all of her problems while she just stands there, Blushing and shaking like a kid. He always has to solve everything for her and take down all of her problems because she's incapable. )
LMAO i love the part where you said where she just stands there blushing and shaking like a kid. I also hope she does more than let caidel take care of everything, like maybe being able to use magic to help herself and take care of Caidel.
Absolutely. I agree that she needs to really do something about it. She has powers, Why won't she use them to help Caidel or fight Noah??
Okay, I love this series and I love the plot. I know that it revolves around tea but, I'm starting to get tired of the tea. At first I liked to learn about it but now it's just meh..? I just started skipping it around chapter 70. I really wish it would've just ended already. Like it could've ended with ML saying he loves FL but no, There has to be more events. T~T
Yeah. Stop reading it.
Well like I want to see what happens but I think it's just slightly dragging.
As a tea lover I am very much enjoying the tea details. Everyone enhoys different things <3
I'm really just deciding if I should like the female lead or not. I mean, She experienced trauma. Hmmmm, This is actually a hard choice. I hate weak female leads but..
She's..A bit okay? I mean, Her stuttering is annoying sometimes but I guess she's fine. I don't have a strong opinion on her.
Okay so, I'm just gonna call Jennette as Jeni. I don't necessarily like Jeni but I don't hate her either. I feel like as the story goes on, She gets more.. Naive. I don't like the lack of independence. I understand how she is neglected but as someone who grew up without a father, It isn't that hard. For me personally, I was totally fine growing up without my father while he was raising my other sisters. After 13 years, I really just accepted it and wished the best for them. It's different for everyone of course but, I think Jeni should really stop clinging so hard to that. Like she's always comparing people to other people. It's like, Gah. I also don't like how she's like falling in love with her father. That's pretty creepy. Again, I don't hate Jeni but I still think her character is just a bit too stupid. She doesn't like, Think things out well. She'll just go with a reasonable opinion that makes herself feel better even if it isn't true.
You're Welcome. I was trying to read the summary but it was in Spanish then suddenly google translated it on my screen to English so I copypasted it for all of you.
"I became the villain of my own novel. It was even a romantic fantasy that I wrote 10 years ago. The villain Ayla who cursed the heroine was destined to be killed by the male hero. Does that mean she had to be a villain? ? This life is to be gambled with a lot of money! However when I started having fun the day returned. I will not act like a villain! I don't want to die! Then a dangerous wizard came to me.
"Please stop the loop ...... The method is simple." Be a true villain.
"Take the wealth, the power, the honor, the man, whatever." If you want, take her crown and put it on your head. And lead the way to the throne ......
He poured sweet words like a demon into my ears with a lazy voice. So what's your answer?"
There you go! That's the summary. (⌒ ▽ ⌒)
If you want a review before you read this, Here you go! This is just my opinion! Please remember that. It's one of those stories. Don't let the beautiful art blind you. The actual plot is horrible. All of the female characters are bratty. They all act like they're the hot shit when in reality, They're just rich brats. The first few chapters really explain what the female lead is like. She practically jumps on the male lead begging him for help and then tries to just ditch him after she used him. It's obvious she just wants revenge on the chick who wronged her in her past life. The whole "Cute wife" is seriously just in the appearance. Her attitude isn't cute whatsoever. It would be different if she was maybe kind but she isn't, She only cares about getting revenge
and her appearance. All of the females cause scenes like everywhere they go and always have to pick fights over everything. It's like beyond overdramatic. The female lead is so immature and she acts like she can use whoever she wants just because she has a cute face. Don't even get me started on the males. They all only care about how attractive a female is. I haven't seen one male character who isn't seduced by the females. As long as they have a cute face, They're totally fine with being used and feeding these gold diggers. The story may have been better if the characters weren't complete extremists in practically everything. For example, In the coffee shop, The female lead literally poured coffee on her niece(?) for upsetting her. Like, What the hell? That was so completely unnecessary. I wish the female lead and male lead could have some major character changes. The art is cute but the story just isn't it. ( I'm on like chapter 20 or so. I can't even finish it. )
（￣へ￣）i fully agree with you!
Okay, I don't dislike the female lead but I don't like her either. At the beginning of the story, She was a lot more interesting because she was so bold about being kidnapped. But now, In a way, She's sort of stupid? I think if she was reincarnated into the book, Shouldn't she know how crazy the evil lady is and that she should try stopping her? I just think that she's a bit stupid for someone who read the novel and knows the characters. She's more worried about the time line not being right instead of how far the story has changed. I still like her character a bit because she's cute and she is trying but still, The story has gotten a bit ehh... It's wayyyy too slow paced.
agreed, it feels like her IQ got significantly debuffed all of the sudden / as if she was never reincarnated in the first place. i wish she still had that spunk from the first few chapters.
She can't do anything against Soleia tho. She has mana maladjustment, if you remember. Even getting close to her could kill her. Rather than stupid, she is being smart about it, staying away.
You have to also remember that the novel she read was about the protagonists, and the world she is now is before the story of the book.
Literally I think she should’ve told the prince about the villainess using dark magic in the first place. Say some shit like she could see his future or something. It would’ve solved so many problems so quickly
She still could do numerous things. In the novel, I think it made it clear that the mom was dangerous. The female lead should already know about the mom if she read the novel. While it may not have been the main plot, It was still mentioned if the female lead knew about it. And, She could just tell the male lead. He could handle it. It'd be so easier if she was honest instead of keeping a secret and bugging him to marry her.
The thing is he would ask...hiw did you know that? It is quite complicated to answer and all she could say would be...i have this hunch that she is dangerous.
And? It would probably enrage that elard woman and the emperor would not take her words seriously and just think it was one of her antics to get him to marry her.
Unless she was approached by elard with the black magic...it would hard to confirm.
Elard cast Black magic on her palace so that would probably expose her crusty ass soon
Couldn't the female lead just explain the situation and all about her past life? If she explained like everything about herself, He couldn't just simply think that she was lying. Like the female lead could explain all about her past, About her education, How cars work and such to make him believe her.
Yes, but who will believe her? How would she explain the things she knows? Soliea is a very well known magicician of Belgoat Tower, who had protected and helped the kingdown many times. So the king will most likely believe an allie than a stranger. Also, the king can't see or feel any of the black magic or mana Soleia uses, because his power resides on divinity. That's why Soleia wants him, so she can have his powers aswell as black magic.
So, even if she tells him everything, she won't be able to prove it
That's why she explains why she wanted to marry him, The novel events and so on. She even has a god on her side. He can't just completely ignore her.
He wouldn't even believe her when she told him arms where dragging her to the floor, when she first arrived Belgoat. He also didn't believe her when she said the stone was pulling her towards it, in the lastest chapter he even dismissed her claims again and said he shouldn't take what the princess say seriously. If you read it again, you can see how he nevers takes her seriously.
He won't believe her about being from another world or that he will die or that Soleia is bad, most likely because she can't prove any of it. The events she has knoweldge of are 16 years ahead of were she is now. The current story was only explained as an introduction in the Brisney book, she said it was only a few pages. Father's name wasn't even mentioned there. And Raulus, the god, also said he can't intervene in earth affairs, so he can't help.
We also can't blaim Erudian for not believing in her, he wouldn't be a wise king if he believed everyone without prove.
What she can do is very limitated really. She can't fight against Soleia, because of her mana maladjustment, she will just die. She can't tell the king about Soleia because she can't prove it, because Erudian can't sense the black magic. And the things she knows from the book are 16 years in the future
It's very frustrating being her haha. She can only try and stop the king from marrying Soleia, and her plan is to marry him instead ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I think if she did explain though, It's definitely worth the effort. He may not believe her but at least she warned him. It's a lot better then doing what she's doing now and not even doing anything. She's not getting very far with where she's going right now. It's a bit obvious she needs to re strategize.
It wouldn't get far but with her already infuriating elard was quite enough.
Elard would undoubtedly eliminate the obstacles and she already was not discreet about it. The emperor already doubted her for visiting belrock palace and as soon as the mc falls ill. He will know that she really is as evil as he thought.
This is the more effective way to lure the snake out from the hole. If you already becomes cautious of her, she would be more discreet and he would then again dismiss her words as lies or childish antics
Even if she can't tell him then. It isn't like there aren't any other ways. I'll still hold my opinion on how I feel she's becoming more stupid. I don't hate her character but I'm losing faith in her. She's cute and all but definitely clueless about what's going on. I know the king is hiding it from her but she should at least notice how he acts weird sometimes and should know that the situation isn't ordinary anymore. It's like a child's parents hiding sweets from them and then the child begging for the sweets. It might work in this case but exploring more options that she has is a better idea. She hasn't successfully seduced him once out of like 30 chapters? 40? There hasn't been progress whatsoever! All she's done is made herself like him while he still is unphased. You'd think after all this time that she'd try something new. Even if it may not 100% work. It's at least worth a try.
She has already succeeded in seducing him, actually. He has fallen for her long ago. He even admitted it, saying she has accomplished in five days what Soleia couldn't in five years. He is just has his invisible wall on all the time, so it's hard to tell. She isn't in love with him yet, tho. That will come much later in the story. And there aren't any other ways, she can't even leave the castle, because of her mana maladjustment. And she practically knows none there.
And her goal is to stop the king from marrying Soleia anyways, so what better way than trying to seduce him? It's not like she can do anything against Soleia, right?
And it might look like a long time ago, with 30/40 chapters, but it hasn't even been a month since she is in Belgoat
Didn't the story say like three months? I thought it was two. Then three. Then four. And now one?
Dude, This is so fucking confusing. I got the drift at first with the helping ML become emperor but in the recent 20 chapters I've been so confused with what has happened. Like why'd she suddenly get someone married? What's up with the empress backstory crap? I don't get it. I don't want to drop this but jesus- I can't keep up. This is really some advanced plot.
she is getting married to him because she wants him to become the emperor instead of her brother. everything she has been doing lately is to set them up for success, such as making connections with the empress and changing the opinions of the nobles etc. She is going to the north so he can finally meet the woman he lived in his past life. i suggest you re-read the manhwa
Ah, I see. That's less confusing.
The reason she made that random guy divorce his wife and marry that lady she chose was to plant the lady as a spy somewhere
Ohhhh. Thanks!
Nppp
