This is my opinion, y’all can hate it like you want but this is how I feel about this so far

I as much as I love Ruby, I understand what you’re saying she is super frustrating like the best way I can describe this manhwa is a whole pity party she desperately wants someone to pity her, but she doesn’t speak up because she’s scared to be hated like you’re already hated but what makes it even more frustrating is she knows that he loves her but she still doesn’t say anything because again she scared that he’s going to hate her which is like very stupid if he hated you, he wouldn’t literally kill for you.

Honestly like this man was ready to fight his sister, being dragged into whatever complot she had in mind out of love for her, believed her when he had no reason to. But all she does is just… argh

True, but that man also gives me the ick it took him long enough to react like that because in the beginning, he was definitely something. Now he’s just there. Well, at least she has someone.

That’s fact, he was dreadful in the beginning and clumsy, but now he’s here and she can count on him, he proved he was worth the shot and she won’t take it, what’s the alternative then ? To just die and be beaten black and blue ? The way she just obeys her brother like a faithful dog is another thing that irks me profoundly

I believe its bcs even if she tell them..will they believe? And you know what crazy? 'Action speak louder than words'..in the next chapters soon you will understand this phrase so heavily relate to mc decision

To be fair, when you have been abused for most of your life (and in Ruby’s case it was her past and present), it’s hard to trust others; especially when you “know” that the person you’re married to is supposed to kill you one day. I get your point, but there are much more poorly written FL leads who are suffering from trauma and ignore the feelings of the people around them who are showering them with love.

I understand your frustration but at the same time you have to keep in mind that her life is deeply overcast with abusive experiences. To die and be given the freedom and safety from those that harmed her in one life, to jumping into another life of hell that is just the same. It’s completely valid that she would act the way she has. She has only ever known a life where obeying and wearing a mask is 100% needed for survival. And considering her circumstances I’m surprised we didn’t see more drastic episodes of depression and suicidal ideation sooner. Personally, I think her character is strong for even holding out as she has. For people who suffer like she has it is incredibly difficult and seemingly impossible to accept the love and help around you, especially when all you’ve ever known is lies and an artifice of love. I’m glad she’s started to realize that she is worthy of receiving true unconditional love.

I agree with you, but it is frustrating and I can see why people don’t like her character or even hate her.

Damn. You people really have it easy huh. Not a shred of sympathy towards victims of abuse. "You're being abused? Speak up!" or "Oh, you're depressed? Just stop being sad" that's not how it works. Who would believe her? When she's seen as an intruder to everyone's home. Her cries for help would be just dismissed as "attention seeking". By masking her pain and fear under the smiling mask, she desperately tries to protect herself. It took Izek so much time to finally notice the signs and he blamed himself so much for not saving her sooner. Ruby finally finds some peace in his arms and yet can't help but be scared that everything will crumble, that she will be beaten and abandoned or just killed. She couldn't open up because she thought her husband will be repulsed by her. Y'all need to get off your high horses and learn that not everyone is as 'brave' and 'courageous' as you, since you're totally not a 'doormat' or a 'dog' (bet you would not say anything like that if you ever were in her place). It's so easy to pretend to be better and smarter in the comfort of your home behind your screen, isn't it? When all the information is presented to you on a silver platter as a reader. Ruby is stronger than she looks. Sometimes it takes less than that to end it all.

I agree with this, she was actually holding out so well. It's so hard to always keep a mask on just to protect yourself from the toxic environment she is in and considering her very traumatic past of being abused and dying and being reincarnated just to experience the same thing hoping you'd actually find your own freedom and finally live a life of your own. She's so brave for that and I love Izek so much for loving her knowing what happened without the whole context. He still trusted her considering the fact that her disgusting brother kissed her

Its also important to consider that izek wasnt really fond of her in the beginning and was a bit cold towards her. Even the fact that she got married off to a complete stranger for political reasons. It takes time to build up enough trust towards your signifikant other. I mean if you get married to a complete stranger of course you wouldnt just immidiately tell about your lore or past. Its a process

I do agree with you, but it is frustrating to see and honestly, you can’t help someone who doesn’t speak up or doesn’t want help.

I understand, but you really can’t help someone or expect someone to pity you. If you don’t speak up I know it’s hard but if not that person can literally kill you which exactly happened later in the novel, he literally almost beat her to death bc she couldn’t speak up and sadly, in Real life for these cases, you have to help yourself bc in real life, you don’t have a ml like him who can save you

Its also as in real life..people will not believe a word about someone they literally believe? Like take example an artist that look kind and everyone know about..and there's one girl come out and said they an abuse..who will believe? Not until the girl make live or post video of her getting abuse by that artist..so what i try to say..its a logical process and actually also happened irl..its a matter of time..i understand where u come from and i think this kind of manhwa not suit to your taste..maybe something like Secret lady u prefer more?

Or Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess..based on your opinion i feel like you prefer manhwa like this more

No, I like the story I understand it but I’m just saying it it is frustrating and I hate secret lady

Don’t you think someone so helpless and not even try to help themselves and constantly misunderstand everything isn’t frustrating to see you understand the character and you understand why they are the way they are and you understand the story, but doesn’t make it any less frustrating

I have some friends who is like..at first im just like you..but as i get older(21 now) i try to be more understanding on them..but hey at the end of the day they actually try to be better..it took days months and years but i witness their changing..Give them a time..it can be long..but with constant good environment exposure..they will also try to

I get what you wanted to say and I get your point and I I said this is my opinion, but you are absolutely NO ONE to say I had it easy, dear you don’t know me or what I’ve been through. Life is not all about being understanding and comprehensive, people won’t be kind because you deserve kindness you gotta fight most of the times to get what you want. You can’t plan how people are gonna act but you sure do plan how you wanna live. And that’s not living, having to fake it out and lay low waiting for the tide to eventually pass. You’ll just drown, and yeah that’s why I believe she’s being a coward cause she has a way out contrary to people who are bing driven to wits end, she just won’t jump, and that’s the type of people I hate irl, cause I myself had to jump and fight cause if not what next ?

That’s more like the type of girl I like, she tried it all and said fuck it cause there’s nothing else to do. Her situation is not as bad depending on the point of view ( some would say neglect is better that abuse, I think they are equal trauma) those are two difficult situations but different ways of reacting to it, and I like hers better. But again I see where you’re coming from
