Gurl in korean manhwas it is either strong from the get go or it won't get better there was a manhwa called "the tyrant husband has changed" i waited for her to be more confident and do smthin and even read the damn novel but she stayed weak and protected all the way even a shoujo girl beats her and it was annoying af
Same i love character development too much it just leaves a big impact.but unfortunately there is not much works with it, it is like authors don't even know what that is so at this point i just hope they are strong whether it makes sense or not cause them staying as a damsel is even more annoying than unjustified out of nowhere strength
ya'll don't expect character development so quickly. if this is realistic she's gonna take some time to overcome her trauma from abuse. it's already good enough she can speak out against her dad, so don't expect her to be peak girlboss all of a sudden lmao. that's not how it works
