FRR!!! It's seriously annoying how these novels keep pushing the same old toxic relationship tropes. Like, why can't the MC just choose the chill, loving guy who actually cares about her? Settling for some rich jerk who doesn't treat her right is just plain dumb!!!! And you're spot on about the damaging message these narratives can send to younger audiences. We need stories that break the mold and show that it's okay to choose yourself and find happiness with someone who respects you, instead of chasing after some fantasy.
I literally turned off my brain for this because I see these tropes so much so I'm really thankful u pointed these things out
I thought I was the only who noticed how she ignored everyone else's sincerity, and the fact that the ml has the power to stop her and the other maids bullying but does nothing is sickening, and I feel like he likes her because of her silver hair
yk these types of novels will only ever be good if in the end the mc will choose the commoner yet hardworking and loving guy who loves her. and instead of choosing to be trapped in a situationship and going through hardship with the shitty rich kid, the mc settles down with the commoner and lives a mundane but happy and peaceful life where she chose herself and peace first. leave the ML behind, leave the shitty broken promises, leave the heartbreaks and choose a boring yet peaceful one where you’d start a family with a guy who loves you and doesn’t abuse you.
seriously im so sick and tired of these novels bro, imagine the mindset this ingraines on the younger people who don’t have a set standard for love. they always make the mc a social climbing, gold digging person, even though she NEVER wanted any of those in the first place and only ever wanted love.
And what’s up with the “only the young master has shown me love and took care of me, all i’ve ever known was violence” bs. so that lady that gave you extra meat to feed yourself was just a figment of your imagination? so mynos’ kebabs were just a random hallucination? so the maid you met first and fed you was just a dream? and all the other people who showed love and care for you despite not being able to fully protect you yet tried their best in their own ways????
this is so bs. i didn’t even hate the mc all that much but now that i think about it, she’s delusional. why does only the young master’s tiny ass chocolate matter? why does only his reluctant gazes, his hidden words matter???? all these other people showed you more affection and ONLY the young master cared for you in your eyes? bffr. im sure he was the only one that mattered because he was handsome and rich and seemed like, if he really wanted to, he could save you and be your prince charming. he has done NOTHING for you except give you crumbs of affection and like a hungry stray you lapped that up disgracefully. i understand that she came from a horrible background but it pisses me off how she only ever acknowledged the young master as her shining light and never the ones who truly loved and cared about her. she’s obsessed with an illusion.
