Let me tell you my reason.
I don't particularly "hate" her but I just can't like her character. Hate is for Lucas Wykes but I like how he act his villain part in this story.
The way I see Tess role here is the one who is always have to be rescued, which I don't like. The way she thinks, her way of being a tsundere I'm not fond of that. It is just my personal preference. She is like Jeanette of Who Made Me a Princess for me.
Maybe other readers have their own reasons too and I want to hear it.
and that's okay, not everyone needs to like the characters, but Tessia gets hate over bullshit things its so tiring to constantly try to understand everyone's pov-- *spoiler* there are many instances in the novel where Arthur genuinely likes her, and I don't who he ends up with but whoever he chooses is whom I will support, that's why I support Tessia because she's who Arthur likes.
how is romance not part of the journey though? I understand everyone wants to keep the whole shounen story but honestly, Tessia contributes a whole lot to the plot of the whole novel-- can't wait for everyone to know what she's capable of SDFLKJASD the novel is currently starting on the next volume :>
definitely, right now the story is definitely leading more to individual character development and it will surprise everyone how much Arthur gets stronger and who they're up against-- and I really think everyone should read the novel because it explains more stuff there, you can always skip the romance part :>
I love Tess. I don't know why so many do not. I want him to be with her more than any of the others. Sylvie even calls her Mom.
