I was gonna say the exact same thing! I really don’t like how easily they fell in line, not to mention the never ending list of how she was abused?? We learn everything alongside the brothers, everyday it is something that wasn’t mentioned before. And by god, how come it always details the maids whipping her while she hung from the ceiling? If that’s the case, the somehow now obsessed brothers, should have sentenced those maids to a brutal death. I agree that “death is the only ending for the villainess” is a 100x better. The reactions are more realistic, and the character is more love able and strong. My other problem is what the conflict for this story is gonna be. The main villains are gone, and I cannot find any kind of motivation that the main character has. Her past with cooking only seemed like a way to beat the villainess, and it doesn’t seem like she has dedicated her life to cooking. Sorry for rambling!
thanks for the recommendation! I literally can't with this family XD
Sure, they prove it, but the family wouldn’t just accept her. They would begrudgingly agree to. They would still hold frustration, that’s how the human mind works. Most of the time we refuse to acknowledge people even after they were proven correct. They still hold hatred and definitely do not treat them with utmost kindness. When she mentions the shoes, they would most probably scoffed at her. They would be disgusted that she wanted to “take advantage” of the situation. However, based on the time period, many women weren’t believed because their well being (only mentally) wasn’t cared about. The social norm was for women to be side pieces, and not spoke up unless they are asked to or have the authority to do so.
I know, though I do believe they had more feelings than just “not caring”. Anyway, I am aware it is a story. I feel like my hostility comes from the constant pity situations
It’s fine, I enjoy these stories too! I’m sorry for shitting on it so much, it’s still good, I’m just picky ,:)
thank you for so many well thought out responses! and it can be easy to get somewhat worked up over a story even if it isnt real, if you really want to root for the character but the author doesnt do them justice, its frustrating! so i totally get it. i hope you have a nice day
I can deal with lots of plot points being brushed off by the setting, aka the time they live in and the social norms and such.
BUT i still find it annoying that now that her family is seemingly 100% on her side, all she has to do is claim that someone hurt her and they get their panties in a twist? She didnt even prove whether or not her feet hurt to them and they took her word for it and plan to take out their anger with violence. just a liiiiiittle bit farfetched.
and not to be a shill but there is another webcmoic being translated rn very similar to this but the mc is much more interesting to watch, its called death is the only ending for the villianess. imo my fav webcomic of 2020.
