Hmm

That’s the whole point i think, she’s just so strong she doesn’t have to think who she attacks cuz she can always take care of it in the end, i think

when someone is rlly focused on revenge and anger, they cant think about anything at all. It's like that term "Adeline rushing in" because you have no thought but how to beat them up. I understand her because I used to get in fights a lot...

RIGHT SHE'S A FUCKING WILD BOAR, she doesn't put thought into shit, she just into things without thinking and it makes it boring cause she does that, atleast make a plan, if the author just let her ight throughout the whole thing without that nerd this manhwa would be over just like that in a snap of two fingers.

I dont think anyone whose sister tried to khs bc of some bullying would even try to think about strategies and shit. Well, I get her character and I think the author made a nice job about how not everyone is gonna detailly plan the revenge and there are people out there who cant control their anger and jump into things. This conversation sounds like when people hate on dark manhwas bc there's abuse in it like not everything about life is rainbows and sunshines

Kenny forgive me for the typos—I'm revisiting this months later, and I can’t help but cringe at how broken my English looks, haha. Also, I’ve finally gotten past my initial dislike of this FL...

That being said, I understand your point, but I’m having a hard time grasping this part: 'This conversation kind of reminds me of when people criticize dark manhwas for the abuse in them, like not everything in life is all rainbows and sunshine.' Can you clarify what you mean? I’m struggling to see how this connects to the discussion. While I completely understand why people might dislike those types of manhwas, I don’t see how this justifies or makes the behavior acceptable here. Could you elaborate? ^_^

I don’t recall the details clearly, but I believe my comment was meant to address not only the original poster but also the broader discussion in the manhwa's comment section at the time. There was great criticism of the female lead for resorting to immediate violence without employing any strategic thinking. While I do not condone such behavior, it’s important to consider the context of the narrative. This is, after all, a revenge manhwa, and it naturally includes violence themes.

Many readers often criticize dark, revenge-themed, or abusive stories, labeling them as problematic. Comments such as, "They need to stand up for themselves; all they do is cry. This is just abuse and kidnapping," are common. However, it’s essential to recognize that fiction doesn’t always reflect an idealized version of reality. Life itself isn’t always "sunshine and rainbows," and such narratives reflect the darker aspects of human experiences. Furthermore, readers should remember that abusive relationships—both in fiction and reality—are incredibly complex. Criticizing a fictional victim for their choices can feel disturbingly similar to victim-blaming in real life.

Not everyone reacts to trauma or abuse in the same way. Some victims may fight to break free, while others, due to a fragile mindset, may remain trapped. This is reflected in the FL’s actions. Her impulsive resort to violence, without careful planning, is indicative of her unstable mental state. Consider her circumstances: if someone bullied your sister to the point of a suicide attempt, would you calmly devise a detailed strategy, or would your emotions drive you to act impulsively? Unless you possess an extraordinarily stable mindset, it’s likely the latter.

As I mentioned earlier, while I don’t excuse the FL’s behavior, I believe it’s crucial to approach these narratives with empathy and an understanding of the broader themes they aim to explore.

Thanks for the detailed reply, I really appreciate your perspective. I do agree that this is a revenge manhwa and that the violence is part of the genre's nature. You’re right that the FL's actions reflect her emotional instability, and it's understandable to see her as acting impulsively, given the trauma she’s endured. It’s also important to note that the narrative doesn’t glorify her behavior; it's just showing a raw, unfiltered reaction to extreme circumstances.

However, while I understand the FL’s emotional state, I still think we need to be careful when we talk about impulsive reactions versus strategy. There’s a fine line between seeing someone’s actions as a product of trauma and treating those actions as somehow excusable. It’s one thing to recognize that she’s acting from a place of pain, but it’s another to say that every impulsive reaction is automatically justified because of her circumstances.

So, here's my question: if you were in her shoes, would you calmly devise a detailed strategy, or would your emotions drive you to act impulsively? Because that’s the part I find really tricky to navigate—understanding that both responses are possible, but still having to confront the consequences of acting impulsively. It’s not about whether it's understandable, but whether it’s the healthiest or most effective response in the long run.

I really want to hear your thoughts on this, because it feels like we're touching on something deeper about how we view emotional responses to trauma in fiction.

As I mentioned earlier, my comment wasn’t solely intended for the original poster but also for the wider audience engaging in the discussion. If I were in the female lead’s position, I believe I would have likely acted in a similar manner. After witnessing such traumatic events, I doubt I would be in a stable mental state to calmly devise a rational course of action.

In an ideal world, the appropriate response would be to trust in the justice system or allow the natural course of karma to unfold. However, in a society where power and wealth can manipulate outcomes—even to the extent of undermining justice or devaluing human life—passively relying on these systems feels inadequate.

In both fiction and reality, my actions in such a scenario would likely be driven by pure impulse, probably leading to violence. From a logical and ethical standpoint, such actions are unquestionably indefensible, as they involve inflicting harm on another human being. However, in cases where bullying escalates to the point of driving someone to attempt suicide, these actions might feel, in the heat of the moment, like a necessary step toward justice and societal betterment.

This is where the FL’s behavior makes sense to me. Her actions, while morally and legally wrong, come from a place of deep emotional pain and a sense of powerlessness in the face of injustice. While I do not condone or justify her use of violence, it is difficult to entirely dismiss her perspective when seen through the lens of personal trauma and the failure of societal systems to protect the vulnerable. While her choices may be debatable, they are undeniably human.
