I do not feel the same sympathy but I do agree, I usually have sympathy for way worse characters like beyond criminal types if they have childhood trauma and nothing to loose but for some reason this priest just grossed me out.....maybe because he is a priest with Holly powers, the love of God and all the support to do what he wanted but he chosed to hurt another broke person so he could play hero
Not to mention he said even if she was in the body of his biological little sister he still wanted to smash because her soul is different Lolol
Same. I don’t like the priest nor approve of his actions but I do feel bad for the part where he did want to save the people he cared for. He wasn’t trying to kill anyone- but that obviously is not what the FL wanted which turned out bad for him
I also think the manhwa sorta rushed the development of all 3 guys falling for her? Was that how it was in the novel? Cause I heard other people say it’s like that to show how crazy the guys are, but I feel like it still would’ve been better if it was written in a way that showed the development of why the guys started liking her out of nowhere. It would’ve been more interest rather than just blaming it on simple craziness. Because at least the other 2 guys barely got any screen time and didn’t show up for several chapters only to show up at the very end crazy about her despite having no interactions. Especially the red head, I can’t even remember his last appearance (last I saw it was at the ball where FL and ML kissed) and it wouldn’t explain his sudden change in behavior.
I think ir worked really well cuz it is usually like this in the tipical romance story like the poor OGMC she was literally just being a good girl to survive (like how else the child of a falen traitor noble family survive? When even her job as a maid in the palace was given to her) and prince fell in love cuz she didn't recognize him and was pretty? (More like she was a submissive and powerless maid who couldn't be a treat like his fiance) priest like her cuz she had a pretty soul...again cuz she was nice?.....red hair cuz she was (again) a powerless girl ....all of them just wanted to be the hero and heal their wounds trough her.......so it was clear that when MC showed to be more miserable than OGMC and they had a part on it, they felt their "hero" play crumble, so they shifted attention....if MC acepted their help in any way soon they would feel better again cuz they "fixed a mistake" but she didn't and they know and had to see first hand the wounds they made on her destroy her completely
what MC did that OG Miserian didn't was simply not hide her pain....miserian died in silence while playing strong until the end...she had to, cuz that's how she was raised, that's the only left pride she had
Out of the three shitty "love interests," I still have a tiny tiny bit of sympathy left for the priest. The plot of the novel never actually got to progress to the point where he betrayed the original Eris, so he is innocent of that at the very least. Plus, his mother clearly traumatized him deeply with her treatment of him and her death, and I'll always sympathize with children born into shitty situations out of their control. I wish he could have gotten some form of healing. But he made an unforgivable mistake when he tried to chain down an unwilling stranger with his trauma. He actively tried to ruin not-Eris's life and trap her in a world that made her suffer, just so he could feel better. So ultimately, he's getting what was coming to him. Karma's a bitch, I guess.
