I completely understand what you mean with freya, she really is a predictable character like in any other manwhas. But i can assure you this story is not predictable at all. Whats yet to come is something that i have never really seen in other manwhas. This story and ruby character and other characters like cesare, izek etc.. are mostly based on the real life lucrezia borgia which makes it more compelling.
Freya may be a poorly written character but shes a side character for a reason and not really the 'main villain'. On the other side ruby, ellen and even cesare as the villain, are well written characters.
In the end its up to you if you want to continue reading. If this story and ruby as the fl is not your cup of tea then you shoudnt force yourself to read it
The ending is quite predictable. We all know that she’s going to be saved by the ml and freya like always is going to say something or do something stupid. It is like every other manhwa the fl always has an abuse backstory and villain female is always fighting for a man and just being petty for no reason. Cesare is well written, but also quite predictable and kind of an idiot.
i mean a happy ending aint that bad and she deserves to be saved but she also kinda saves the ML so yeah but youre indeed right about freya without doubt.
I see that the 'damsell in detress' or whatever they call it, is not to your liking. But yeah up to you if you wanna continue or not. Maybe try reading roxana or the villainess decides to die, these two could be something for you
I do like Ruby’s character I think she’s very well written and interesting but all the villains are kind of dumb and make the stupidest decisions. I don’t mind the damsel in distress trope there’s nothing wrong with that trope it just has the tendencies to be repetitive. I actually like under the oak tree it has that trope, but It’s well done and the fl actually tries to improve herself and actually plans to survive. Except the ml he’s too aggressive and gives me the ick.
Um, this story is depicting a relatable cycle of abuse. Sorry to say, but when you're in it, I'd say it does get repetitive. And Freya is not even a key villain. And has she really been "saved"??? Theyve solved situations, but they are only starting to fix key problems (I'm sorry for coming at you but offering no recommendations tho)
They depict her as if she’s a villain so I would say yeah she kind of is a shitty one and stereotypical female villain. Also, it’s very obvious in the end she’s going to be saved and everyone’s gonna fix her problems. The villains are literally so dumb I feel like they don’t have critical thinking skills especially freya she’s literally a dumbass
As you said she too dumb, she a mid boss or something. Before she was more affective because she had an edge. But now that her character is unraveling, she's becoming sloppy. And as for the brother, his strength comes from being batshit crazy. You say the villains are dumb, but until recently they've been quite successful. They really just act dumb in front of the FL cuz they look down on her, which has made them fearless. I guess what I'm saying is, it seems like you don't like this kind of story, rather than it just being stupid. The logic within the world the author built checks out. Some people might be triggered by your use of "stupid" cuz it's doing such a great job of depicting specific traumas, so it does make me bias ngl. But I don't wanna police an opinion, of course, I just disagree
I’m just calling her mostly dumb because she doesn’t actually have a good motive and she’s been successful bc she has this fake personality, which is not currently working in her favor recently and she knows that and we all know she’s gonna go and tell the ml about Ruby, kissing her brother. Which is not a smart move. Her actions are very predictable because she’s not smart and a dumb character.
Should I continue reading? I think the plot is quite predictable and repetitive please, someone tell me does it get any better? Like the fl gets abused repeatedly and then someone comes in I guess saves her in a way. Also freya actions are so predictable like she’s so dumb. She has to be one of the worst female “villains”. She is so poorly written I’m tired of the typical female villain, who constantly verbally abuses the fl for no actual good reason and it’s just there to make us feel bad for the fl. I need an actual good complex character who has an actual good motive for their actions. These authors need to get new ideas cause I’m tired of seeing the same thing. They’re always making the female villains fight over a MAN or it be the most stupidest reason.
