Wow I think... that was just a whole lot of contradictions I read:
1. You accuse the mother of being a b**** but then blame the ML for not being sad enough about it so that he's gotten to the point where he cuts all connections off with his family. So is the mother a b**** or is he the one in the wrong for not being 'sad' enough about it? Yes, expecting a victim to respond with the 'appropriate' emotions puts the blame solely on the victim, meaning it's impossible to have it both ways.
2. Cutting off ties with your family when you love them should never be made the victim's responsibility either. *Refer to point 1.
3. Did you not read the part where she threw him out of the house and he came flying back to her because of the curse? And, again, you're expecting victims to react 'appropriately'.
4. The arrogance of the ML IS what should p!ss you off. That's the only thing *he* uses to victimize others after all. His arrogance is what lead him to insulting potential marriage candidates, even though they weren't the ones to blame for anything. His arrogance is the reason women, despite not being opposed to marriage (which is another fact it appears you've missed), just like it was said in the news article, avoid him like the plague. Which is also, besides his extreme pickiwhat makes it unlikely that he will ever find a potential mate e
(Since my comment was posted long before I was obviously finished, I'll just continue from the part with the incomplete, in many ways, sentence):
(4. cont...). Which is also, besides his extreme pickiness, what makes it *highly* unlikely that he will ever find a potential mate even under the unimaginable scenario that he falls in love with someone. His mother has every reason to believe that he will not find one in her lifetime (especially given that this is a fantasy involving phoenixes who not only typically live 1000 years before burning up in flames in order to resurrect themselves but who *also* probably look young throughout their *whole* lives). What she should not then do because of that, however, is force him to breed because of her selfish desires.
5. The employee has (also) *obviously* been bearing the brunt of the work the ML should have been doing for years. Otherwise it would not have piled up like that in just the moments the ML was kicked down to earth. If he was being unprofessional *so was his boss* for much less reason and clearly much longer;
Stbybab.
read two chapters and already hate everybody in this book. the mother is a horrible human/creature being, if you son doesn’t wanna love why the hell do you have to force him. He’s probably not even past the age of 30, why tf does he need to marry now. A lot of people mature as they grow older, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR GONNA BE A KING. He would’ve eventually found the right girl. the employee is a terrible human/creature being as well. no matter how short on cash you are you should not ever do something like this especially without letting either of them know. I wish I could drop kick that bitch. The male lead is arrogant, which I like but why tf isn’t he sad or very angry. His mother just literally sent him away down to a place he’s never been before and made him fall in love with the first person he saw. I would be pissed, and I would cut connections with my family prince or not. The female lead is way too accepting. A male just broke into your house and started spewing shitty pickup lines. CALL THE POLICE. Phoenix or not. She should’ve said, “I don’t give a fuck about your conditions just get out of my house.”
and report him for sexual assault at that, and attempted robbery.
anyways, this is not my favorite.. ╥﹏╥
