right i looove the story cause i live for the drama but i hated how "omg shes no longer a villainess!! now she can be modest because being unmodest is EVIL!" like... letting the girls breathe and slaying the day away with extra ass clothes is not evil
ALSO THE STUFF ABT HER AND REESE HAVING A DIFFERENT BEAUTY?? im sorry but reeze looks like a literal teenager compared to Edith... Edith doesn't have a "sexy beauty" shes just a fully grown woman. Like they really make Reeze look like a teenager in panels (especiallly with how they dress her, with historical dresses only young girls wear dresses that short)
The issue is that the original villainess and the girl currently in her body were forced to dress that way by her father and don't personally like it and were forced in to it by a man, that's kind of the whole point.
While that is true, the author sets it up as if its like an evil trait. Shes literally like "I have to get them to think I'm good now, I better mend these dresses" and its just weeeeird
i get it. i’m not saying that. i’m talking about the author themselves. i just think that modest = good and immodest = evil is a very popular trope. the male lead even calls her a ‘whore’ and ‘slut’ in the book and in the webtoon he holds a prejudice against her just because she’s curvaceous. i get it that in plot it makes sense, but i don’t know why that plot was even added.
Idt that is true. In this story atleast, the original image that Edith had was that she wore sexy clothes anr seduced men. And that is actually true from what we know after the FL got Edith'd previous memories. Her father made her dress provocatively and seduce people for information. The only to start changing that image was to change her clothes. And its common for people to change the way they dress, do their hair and make up to suit the image they want to project and change their image in other's eyes. So its not illogical. And its not like author is going modest=good and immodest=evil. It just makes sense to do it the way it happened in the story. Also, the original image of Edith is all her husband knows about her. So its not wrong of him to assume that she would pull that on him either. He just thinks he is right to put her in her place and let her know her tricks won't work on him bc he knows how she did to others. Also, don't forget the ML's are thoughts are being controlled by the system but he still managing to find the discrepancies in her image on his own.
Yeah and also, original Edith used to wear exposing clothes because it was another way she could fight back against the abuse. Since it gave less areas she could be hit.
Oh, that's an interesting take. That would a very good idea.
She actually points that out after she got beaten by that maid I think. Like how the maid only hit her where her clothes covered, and maybe that’s another reason why Edith wore such revealing clothing
i don’t like that they stopped making her slay and covered her tits up like … what was so vulgar about that? she looked hot and beautiful and not like a literal child. she’s a woman, so she has a woman’s body. she was slaying with jewellery on her. why sew that to hide her beautiful body? what’s up with this “i’m so modest uwu” character arc that authors bestow badass villainesses. that’s why “Asmodian’s Contract” and “Today the Villainess has Fun Again” are so good! The women don’t CARE about how the men perceive them because they’re MORE than just a man. I really like this FL and i think she’s got SO MUCH potential. i’m just sad that they had to stop her from being a girl boss.
