there’s not really a definite antagonist though…
actually.. nevermind
Disappointing antagonist? Based on what? Appearance?
Exactly! That woman is supposed to be the villain who start all this?? She only has her inferiority as the reason.
Author doesn’t write one-dimensional villains. Perhaps readers should wait and see although with this manhwa adaptation, they might just end up making the villains one-dimensional considering how much they only focus on Carcel’s simp side and make Ines into maybe a three-expression FL when she’s a much more complicated person and Carcel is also a serious person. No one would even thinks he is because they turned him in the manhwa comic relief.
Just got to read the replies now. Anyways, I know she's just a minor antagonist but before I posted this, I read on spoilers of all the things she did to Ines and how big her contribution was in Ines' misery for three whole lives even when Ines didn't end up with that prince. She was mainly behind the deaths of Ines' children, her suicides, her being seek by her family to the point of her, her husband and baby dying, especially on the tragic first life of Ines and Carcel. She did all those filthy things like Ines managed to take everything from her despite being a "perfect woman" yet she's just this. Just plain useless insecure ugly brat laced with inferiority complex who happens to be born wealthy yet thinks she deserves all the good in the world.
Btw, my comment doesn't have anything to do with my opinion on the author/artist. Just simply disappointed as all that build up into making her somewhat of a powerful evil woman doesn't reflect on her at all that simply making both her and Ines stand together makes you determine the winner even without knowing the plot kind of vibe. I never felt like this towards a character since The Villainess Turns the Hourglass.
All that suffering Ines has to suffer from for her 3 lives only for us to be shown such a disappointing antagonist bitch. I'm not saying that she should be equal to Ines, but really? This ugly mutt really dreamed of taking her place? Even when Ines didn't even chose that useless man whore of a prince, she still dared to make Ines suffer! Why blame Ines when it's her parents that gave that disaster-risk fuck face!
