Yo i really like queen and her daughters they seem so powerful.
I see your point, but if I remember correctly they did murder every ex fiance of the ML so it makes sense why he dislikes them. Just a bit lol
True. And I understand why they dislike each other, being rivals to the throne and all. But the way I see it, he kills people as well. Even stabbing his fiancé in the early chapters. And yeah, she was a witch apparently, but I'm still not sure what that means. It felt pretty brutal.
Yeah. And it seems the fience wasn't even aware of the fact that she is a witch. So it is very dubious.
Wasn't it because the witch was imposing as Enas at that time? Enas was already dead and Cleor killed Witch Enas so that Enas father doesn't know that his daughter had been replaced. But Enas father didn't know that and hence why the early assassination of our main character. Or am i wrong?
Well they tried to poison him so many times
That's the part I don't get. Do witches replace another person or do another person just bloom out to be a witch? What the princess talked about sounded more like a transformation. If the fiancé was just playing a part, why did she get scared of the tree, and why didn't she try to defend herself? She just looked distressed to me.
Personally, idk. Maybe if we know more about the witches and Empress Albina, we will know something
He tries to kill them too but yeah, strictly speaking they probably started it. But to me, that's not really the problem either. They are rivals to the throne, so I understand why they are fighting. The problem is that the story seems to frame the witches as antagonists, but they haven't really given me enough reason to hate them, and instead I kinda sympathize with them. It makes it difficult to read.
I'm having problems to seeing the witches as antagonists. Have they done anything truly horrible for me to dislike them? I'm only at ch. 39-40 but I'm not sure whether I can continue. I see potential in this story, but I dislike the vilification of witches, as they're typically a symbol of female power. Estelle pitted against them, having no strong female character besides her, and being good with swords, which is typically a masculine symbol, just doesn't sit right with me.
To me it's not even clear whether they "possess" a body or just evolve like some sort of pokémon. It's hard to hate them, and therefore also hard to sympathize with the mc and ml. I still like them as characters, but I find the witches intriguing and I want to know more about them as people. Basically, I can't pick a side, but the story clearly picks a side and that makes it hard for me to read.
