Umm I m not one of those who comment that "I hate jennette" but I have read some novels like mo dao zu shi n erha where the "MOST INNOCENT N KIND HEARTED LOOKING" person is the main villian so....I just have my doubts up....I know she is innocent now n is being used but I think she is a person who loves her father a LOT n will do anything to get him...I mean if she was a nice innocent person then.... why didn't she save athy in the original novel......
You got a point there, but well... How did the original novel went like, again? It was something along the lines of Athy being suspected of poisoning Jeanette, right? Hmm.. I dunno.. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
You're so right though.. Jeanette isn't at fault right now.. Though her naivity kinda irritates me sometimes.. Why doesn't Athy just shake her and say "don't just trust anyone!"? As her sister she should. I can understand that she's still kinda wary of her because she doesn't want what happened to Athy in the original novel because of Jeanette happen to her but still... I wonder if having Jeanette as an ally would help.. Athy is a grown woman in the inside so... Can't compare her with other children..
The thing with Jennette’s introduction and taking the role of the protagonist in the recent chapters is that they are bringing to light just how pure hearted she is (while we already know this from the original novel, actions do speak louder than words). For instance, original Athy was kind on the surface but part of her secretly felt Jennette stole Claude from her verses when Jennette saw Athy and Claude, she admired them instead. We’ve also been force fed just how much she wants to get along with Athy (maybe even more than her father since her monologues are mainly about Athy) and most of what she’s doing is for Athy’s sake too (including meeting Claude). If we’re comparing her to the original novel, well she was the only one that truly despaired when Athy died and still worries about her even though she doesn’t have the favourite daughter position anymore. The original Athy was so tragically unlovable that even Claude and Ijekiel didn’t care about her. Its true Jennette didn’t “save” Athy but she died before Jennette knew her life was in danger. The original Athy had already tried her best to get along with Claude and Jennette could only do so much to support her - Claude simply didn’t like first Athy (notice first Athy is a goody two shoes but second Athy is more cheeky/outgoing). They even had the same chances since both of them met Claude before Jennette did.
The only person Jennette can’t trust is her dad but even Athy doesn’t know who the black haired man is. Should I call Athy naive for not knowing this? It’s true that Jennette is being tricked... a lot... but not in a way that it’s obvious for her to question it. Even though letting her guard down around Anastacius isn’t exactly a good thing, it’s hard to feel resentment for Jennette because of how kind she is being towards this “stranger” she instinctively trusts and instead I feel sorry that her father is only taking advantage of her kindness. Actually I’m mostly just entertained since Jennette is meant to be so kind hearted that she can melt everyone’s heart so with the main antagonist present I wonder what would happen...
Yeah.. As you said, Jeanette instinctively trusts him.. And I don't like the fact that she's being taken advantage of.. I was just sort of wondering when I said that Athy should say something to Jeanette.. I mean, if you had a sister and you're suspicious about someone getting close to her wouldn't you warn her? That's why I think Athy feels quite distant with Jeanette or something like that, that's all..
You're right that Athy knows he's suspicious and probably taking advantage of Jeanette. Maybe she trusts Jeanette's instincts too much, I mean everyone was kind to her in the original novel sooo yeah xD I mean, not that its any excuse Athy shouldn't warn her but ultimately ... it doesn't concern me too much because Athy's existence itself is changing Jeanette's character. While everyone is counting on Jeanette to steal Claude, all Jeanette talks about is Athy this Athy that its very unlikely to count on her to "want" Claude for herself at this point (esp when she literally said she wants Athy for herself LOL). She is also partly fixated on Anastacius too like she's just naturally opposing what everyone wants her to do so I wouldn't be worried at all.
True...
I will forever be confused by this comment section because of how so many people collectively antagonise Jennette and are insulted by everything she does (when there are literally other people to blame, like her father... I mean do people not realise he’s the MAIN reason for all this sht going on and would target Claude with or without Jennette’s existence yet 90% of this is about Jennette). I’m positive I’m reading the same manhwa as the rest of you but feel close to nothing in the latest chapters even though I consider myself to be a pretty emotional person. Yeah I’m sad that Athy is separated from her father but her happiness doesn’t mean it should be at the expense of Jennette’s happiness otherwise it’s just a repeat of the original novel and nothing changes. This means no matter what, Jennette HAS to have a happy end otherwise it goes like this: Athy steals Claude from Jennette and Claude doesn’t give Jennette a time of the day, Jennette is miserable seeing Athy get along with Claude, Athy “naively” kills her aunt in the process (the one person by her side) and ultimately sets up her demise THEN perhaps someone reincarnates into Jennette’s body repeating the process all over again with their deaths alternating. Of course I’m thinking through Jennette’s point of view who doesn’t know who her real father is and by the way, isn’t stupid because there’s no reason she should question why Claude ISN’T her father - plus it doesn’t actually matter since they’re technically still family and I can’t see Jennette’s actual father being there for her so it’s probably better that Claude accepts her before she finds out she’s loveless. Remember that one chapter when Athy’s reading comments about how her character is fodder for Jennette and Claude’s relationship in the original novel and how their diehard fans disregarded Athy’s death? Yeah this comment section right now is the real life version of that with the protagonists switched. I get loving Athy and Claude but I will probably never comprehend the total obsession over them that caused almost the whole community to abandon reason.
