Ma'am who is this "we" you speak of?
Also, grooming is different from getting to know someone and having them accidentally fall in love with you.
This girl did that shit on purpose. Now, imo that's not as bad as it could be because she's not looking for love, but for revenge. So at least it's not motivated by lust(low bar, still. He was a kid)
It's not that we can't handle villains, it's that I want my villains to be that way for a reason. Not this self mocking pity party.
Medeia from your throne is a wonderful example of a good villain.
This girl thinks she's entitled to her revenge, just because she lived a bad life. And yes, she is, but to her perpetrators! The poor people in the kingdom did literally nothing to her. They probably didn't even know she existed.
And now onto the male lead. She was older than him. If she wanted his favor, couldn't she have tried to become his older sister figure or new maternal figure after his mom's death? Why romance? There was no need for that, which is what makes it worse.
Even then, a story about this could be interesting....if the character writing just wasn't so bland. She just seems like a Mary sue written to appeal to twelve year olds, no real thought behind actions.
Just imo tho
Are you stupid? Are we all not readers?
Medea from your throne is not a good villain. That girl can't bring any plan of hers and gets out classes by the Damn prince nearly everytime. Its pathetic to read atp.
And again she's not a good person I don't know what character you're looking for when it was made clear what her goals were the 1st couple of chapters. I don't even know if we're reading the same thing. I am more than willing to bed though if she had given up on revenge and wanted to be a good sweet innocent person but then the male lead was the 1 to do all kinds of crap you guys will be cheering on
How people are so salty but literally most of the stories that we read are people grooming the damn tyrants. About the only difference with the premises is that the main character in the Others are kids and it's a novel.
Also folks be complaining for a female villain to actually be a villain and then when they get it they whine and complain. She's not a cute chubby cheek main character with plots like the Family that abandoned her changed because of a sweet smile. She's not a happy go lucky person with a memories of any kind of a good life.
