Hoshi's manga / #Strong Female Lead(6)

That childhood friend is so stupid but cute it hurts me. And Not in the "oh! I love stupid son/daughter!!!" NO. It's not like "they are so cute. Too bad they are a God damn idiot literally costing the life of others." I'm interested in what will happen to Ruri. That life is such a dream! Wishing her the best! Also, I have reasonable ideas that Ruri has always been special and I have an inkling that the childhood friend is actually some sort of evil entity. Like how Jeannette is a chimera.

Wasted potential. The story seemed promising but then it ended up just taking a major flop. The translations are bad, the drama not existent, the promises unheard or withheld, etc etc. What a disappointment.

Great story recommended to me by my sister! Aristia is the prophesized child of god to become the next Empress, but lo and behold the prophesy was wrong??? The true prophesized girl was actually a girl from another world! After that, everything began to fall apart. The Emperor, who already scorned her despite her yearning, treated her worse. She late got pregnant with a child who she later lost in a miscarriage due to poisoning that also affected her mind. He stabbed the prince and was executed for treason. She got turned back in time to try to avoid the engagement with the Emperor and more things are revealed such as the Prince having been poisoned as well! Didn't end quite as satisfactory as I would have wanted, but ti's not the author or writer's fault. I can understand their vision, but a lot of people have bullied them for their artistic choices. Those people are so impatient and rash! The story had a good flow and there was a lot of good redemption and the potential for even more! But the story was cut short. It's a shame, but it was a fun start!

Finally! An Alpha female that hides nothing! Like, I know what an alpha female is, but I've never seen their anatomy beside from that one Alpha x Omega sister x sister dj I read before. But the female lead is kind of a trashy person??? So I kinda don't want the male lead to end up with her. But I really do want the female lead to end up with some of the other girls I've seen (like the kinda chubby female secretary. She's so cute! And Mina, the girl who is doing her best to win over her! She's adorable and sincere!) Lowkey, high key I wondered if I was being misogonistic that I didn't want them together, but maybe I'm just gay (lol, no it's not that, but the gay ships in this case is so much better! They are really not good for one another frfr)

I had some difficulty reading through the chapters. When thinking on why that might be, what first came to mind was that it was "too real." Huh? What's so real about this story in comparison to any other story. An then, at the moments where I would pause ad hold my breath when Lucian's father would tell him to "go to the study," it clicked. Ah. It's the child abuse. I mean, like I've seen it done before in other works, but they gave a back story to the father and you can really feel the hopeful longing of Lucian. And Lucian is so relatable. I used to be like him. Blank and obedient whenever I was being punished or yelled at. Sometimes, I wish that I was able to keep such a mind set, because maybe I would already be done with school now and with the approval of everyone around me. Now, instead, I am holding more onto my own wants and not being able to get them while having a small taste is worse than having never had a taste at all.
