The hate she gets is not because of her personality but because she's acting as saint yet doing the villain job, if you remember at the early chapters when the mc was about to get rap€d and ki||ed liz was angry because she defended herself, no matter how stupid can someone be, you can never tell a SA victim not to defend herself or the police line ' but nothing happened, and you should have waited for someone to help you ' ,that just make them hate you more not less
I was like okay with het till that chapter, she literally told her it's okay to get raped!! But you can not kill your rapest because God can forgive him why you can't
Well bitch that's God's job to forgive him and I am not God
You as a woman should know that
I know she's a character in a book but still
She can act all stupid and have all the charm spell she want
But never ever lecture a victim about her assault
Yooo~ I like this point of view~
There're definitely clues that as a being loved by the gods, she may have been unconsciously pushing things into her favor which lead her to becoming a shallow idealist.
Alicia's presence then, grants her more depth & dimensionality by bringing her dark side out & making her question herself.
WAHAHA. this story may deeper than it appears. I wuv it <3
YASS THANK YOU!!
I got mad at that scene, too. If I were on that scene, I would be Prince Duke. She even got the nerve to ask if he's mad. Anyone would get mad with her at that scene. I would also like to send curses towards Liz's minions. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Saw a lot of comments on Liz-hate but I actually genuinely like her character? I don’t think she’s realized she’s using a charm spell, since she’s a bit of an airhead, and if people have been acting that way since birth she probably doesn’t even realize something’s wrong. Plus, she doesn’t seem like a white-lotus demon bitch you typically see in the ‘heroine’s true character’, which makes me like her more.
This entire manga is about Alicia going on to become the ‘Greatest Villainess’, but like she said, you can’t be the greatest villain if you don’t have the greatest hero. There’s a reason we think of ‘Joker’ whenever someone says ‘Batman’, and vice versa.
I like the fact that, as far as we know, Liz is a stereotypical otome game heroine, but we’re looking at it through the viewpoint of reality versus a game. Politics isn't that straightforward. Idealist proposals don’t just magically get pushed through the first time and somehow it all works immediately, they actually discuss things through. Liz actually listens to Alicia when she gives her critique, but she doesn’t back down on her proposals. We see ACTUAL development and depth of BOTH characters, not just a villainess winning all the time because the hero is too stupid or evil to come up with a proper plan.
It’s FUN to see them fight. They actually feel like rivals. They feel more real BECAUSE they have lots of flaws. Do I like Liz as a ‘person’? No, although I can respect her resolve. Do I like Liz as a character? DEFINITELY. Alicia wouldn’t be able to shine as much as she does without Liz’s character being as well built as it currently is, and Liz wouldn’t be becoming the heroine she’s meant be without Alicia constantly pushing her. The brighter the light, the darker the shadows.
I love Alicia as she is, by far top 5 favorite villainess protagonists, but it wouldn’t feel right if she didn’t have the other side of her coin. I can’t help but feel that this is what female rivalry done right looks like.
