And then when asked about her role as empress, did she really say she would be the emperor's "Eye in the sky"?
I mean. It sounds to me like telling everyone the emperor is going to have a flying spy.
I don't think the nobles would be happy about it.
(￣∇￣")
But it feels they are hopelessly overwhelmed by pure lack of focus and competence.
Etienne sometimes shows his smarts but is really really lacking in following through. Thankfully he made that alliance with his uncle. And I have half a mind to think the uncle is an idiot because the prince has nothing to back his spite.
His boy-toy (the duke) is supposedly really strong but throws it all away by not thinking things through.
What is really frustrating me is that they make statements about protecting their people, making plans and destroying the empress but the progress is minimal and almost always destroyed by romantic plots. It's always "Let's fuck and put everything and everyone at risk and make a mess to confirm our feelings!"
On the other hand?
The empress is not playing AT ALL. She's bad, manipulative and a very evil bitch. But she gets shit done. She formes alliances, makes deals, gets support, brainwashes a lot of people and is almost always a step ahead.
If it weren't for plot armour the main couple would be six feet under.
Meant to like
couldn’t agree more
And really uncomfortable with this fic.
Yeah, she guessed right about the mother but it seemed more like a deranged girlfriend's line of thought than whatever they tried to pass it as.
(⊙…⊙ )
This gives yandere vibes from a mile away.
The only reason she seems to not be pursuing her father as a partner is (by her own words) the mistake of being his daughter.
And I have to say, very mediocre.
The art is ok, the plot could have been ok, the fl is...well. Not relatable. The recipes are very...not enough by far to have those miraculous effects, but it can be overlooked because *fantasy* and all that. (〜￣△￣)〜
The problem is mostly the pace and how every little thing just... goes her way with barely a thought. And even less logic.
The god was actually quite nice and the fl does not appreciate sh!t. #－.－)
She's not very likeable to me.
Together with the prince they barely have the brain power of a single functioning brain cell.
Also, the make up sucks. I know drawing make up is a nightmare, but maybe do it like it was done with her "dry hair, dry skin and sickly face" and just pretend we can see it on the drawing. Less traumatic. (￣∇￣")
The husband tried and, yeah. He was no male lead. But b!tch, please. She just wants him as a sperm donor to have her daughter again. She barely gave a cr@p about him.
"Oh, he pretends to be more capable than he really is, and his business failed and he is overwhelmed by his responsibilities. I'll offer suport so things go better." Yeah. I saw no financial trouble on her long list of complaints, so at least he provided well for her. And didn't she JUST SAY that he had to take charge of the family young because his father died.
She didn't love him. Ok. Maybe he didn't love her either. But he respected and cared about her. Tried to protect her from his family. Was faithful and present and cared.
And the heels thing. The mental comments and constant bemoaning. There was no opposition to her wearing heels at all from her husband. No complaints about her height.
It was all her. Her with the idea that she shouldn't wear heels and that being shorter than her made him less and them not match. She could wear them. But she didn't for something that as far as we know he never EVEN KNEW about. She never thought "I am too tall". It was always "He is too short". And that she compared to the ML. Again.
Let me tell you something. When you are with someone that thinks less of you and your capabilities and your body...well, it shows. In subtle and even in some obvious ways. Specially when trying to hide. But her inner voice is at all times: he isn't abusive, treats me with respect, doesn't gamble, cares for our family BUT (he isn't even close to enough. And nothing he does is ever close to enough to make me happy. At most I am content). That's toxic, mate.
I get the feeling that it's not the opponents getting stronger, but she is getting weaker and less capable.
She "solves" everything but still leaves the feeling she's getting rescued every single time. (￣∇￣")
right??? shes half spirit king or wtv and all of a sudden its like all these ppl are coming to her rescue or she cant defend herself from these ridiculous situations. and its like she hasnt improved any of her powers since she discovered she had them?
That motherf#%ker in chapter 9 and 10.
He killed and cooked the dog.
F#ck this $h!t.
I read that it was dog meat they were cooking and held the hope it was a "faking it to hurt the protagonists". It seems it wasn't.
The baby's holding themselves up, the mother's revival and fast death, the servants dying (omited). Ok. It's fiction. Whatever.
The dog being murdered by a "noble", being cooked in the garden in an open fire, the prince taking a walk on what seems to be the duke's garden?
Well. The unacceptable thing is the dog being murdered.
(╬￣皿￣)凸
Huh, a little racist
Yeah, no.
Ridiculous that you went there.
A person murdering a pet and eating it without even being hungry? A supposed "noble"? That's pure incongruity. Killing and eating someone's pet? I doubt that's acceptable anywhere.
If someone is hungry I see nothing wrong with eating whatever or even whomever. Survival comes first.
Eating a dog? It seems to be socially acceptable in China, Korea, Vietnam...
But in my culture that is not common or acceptable. It's something someone does in famine, starvation, extreme poverty or mental illness. And since it seems to be the same in many, many other countries this sht should come with a warning.
Also. I liked the dog, it was cute and I got attached. Fiction or whatever, it's unacceptable the dog being murdered. (╬￣皿￣)凸
Yea by why'd you have to say "i know that they do that they do that in china" knowimg there knowing that there is those type of stero types out there i vould probably gurantee you a chinese person's first thoughts isn't to eat a dog when they're hungry
Dude. Eating dog meat when starving is something they do in my country. Eating dog meat regularly? That's something they do in China and those other countries I wrote. Culturally acceptable there. Not here or many other countries.
F#ck off.
That's your bias trying to see something you think on others.
(︶︿︶)＝凸
Also, you might not have noticed in your hush to spread your bias but the author is Chinese.
And that's the reason I only said China in the first comment.
Wait really!!?? I thought it was just gonna be a fake thing just to upset her and the dog was actually ok . So not only did they do it but visually such a reveal should have been a little darker,instead the color and shading makes it seem like it’s a minor child scuffle
He was so OP and then he was gone. Why?
WHY!?
The ending was so flat.
The dad went through all the journey without even a sliver of emotional growth. So limited and shallow like a puddle. （￣へ￣）
The mom was amazing and they put her in a "always waiting for the husband and doing nothing".
And Redgon! And his father! So much potential and they just...did nothing with it. I read this entire thing waiting for him to come back and he didn't show up even in the epilogue.
