Just bcos she's acting dumb doesn't mean she's not a layered character. Diana's inner conflict is great. I detest villains that do bad thing for the sake of... Well, being bad. You need to accept that she's NOT written simply like that.
The reasoning for her intrusive acts did not appear out of nowhere. Diana is losing control of the happy ending (she thinks) she tried so hard to build but sadly, she's not intelligent or witty enough to flip the situation to her advantage.
The fml Diana of the og story is known to be a kind person, she's used to ppl loving and adoring her. I gotta say, I bet she is kind by nature... deep inside at least... BUT bcos problems (again, like I said, she don't have the capability to handle) are hitting her left and right... Gosh. OF COURSE, a weak person like her will never cope. We are seeing a 'failed' fml scramble to do smth, anything, even stupid shts- to get back on her feet and prove her worth. To me, that's NOT a one track mind kind of character. Stupid and a try-hard, yeah. But a stale character? No.
I know that it's veryyyyy easy to hate on her but likeeeeeeeee it aint that hard to hate AND atst appreciate the way she was written, you know?
If I’m being completely honest, I didn’t get the abundant Hate on Diana ay first My understanding on the early chapters is Diana healed people but no longer tended to the sick afte she married Helios. Unless she made promises I didn’t really see why she was loathed for that. Didn’t she heal for free? She’s not obligated to heal people just because she has the power to… but i feel like I missed something…? Or I misunderstood.
Mhhhhhhhhhhh good point.
I think she solely focused on 'fixing' the nobles right after she get a much higher status than them. Diana definitely feels insecure towards the nobles bcos she came from the bottom. Her desire to force feed the rich her own lifestyle is making her lose her own customs... How ironic.
But well, at the end of the day even if she wanted to get back to healing the citizen eventually (after she's tired of annoying the nobles lol) she can't do that anymore. Bcos after the ending she's losing her healing powers gradually anyway. She's doomed to fall
Reading this week's chapter, I was thinkingggg WHAT IF we actually read Diana's story first? You know, her as the fml. See her as she kicks all the social barriers of a commoner and become the crown princess at the end? I feel like readers would symphatize w her more... Maybe some might call her a badarse bih as well idk... Readers like those kind of fml, right? (not me tho lol)
This is why some rofan relationships w only the 'love' of the fml and the ml keeping them together feels kinda shallow to me. Look how right after the Ducal family (og main villains of Diana's) were out of the pic and theyre now 'in peace', all the ACTUAL relationship flaws of eo (fml and ml) are being brought up... Why not in the main story? Oh right. They were TOO busy fighting for their 'love'...
