Like yessssss, just seeing her shit stuck on the bottom of a shoe makes me annoyed. Like we do not need to see that much about her。 (−_−;)CUS WE DONT CARE. She need to do her bad evil plot and go, we don’t need u sis and take ur father with u. And y is the turds father acting so superior and with his memories making it seem like it was Claudes fault he had a shitty life, like he was a pice of shit to Claude too. I mean Claude did do him wrong by some but the turds father did worse like wtf.
look you are totally free to hate her but to make unreasonable explanations just to support that hatred is downright impractical. she's commonly hated because her role in the story is to generally go against athy and claude's relationship - which is totally understandable. but at least empathize with her situation. since she was young she was told that the alpheus household was not her real family. not only that, she wasn't really treated as family but as more of a guest. sure ijekiel took care of her but the thought that she had a blood-connection somewhere (a sense of fulfillment for her internal loneliness) is what made her crave more.
just saying. tell her to die or whatever. but to blame her when none of it is her fault in the first place is double standards. what's the difference with claude's perspective? he's done shit to athy but he's still loved by readers. why? empathy.
Well, she had the tragic backstory for a protagonist but the plot isn't supporting her anymore. She's a tool, manipulated or used. But that doesn't change the fact that she is insensitive. Not only to Claude and Athy but to those who are around her. She only thinks for herself. She lives for herself. Same as her mother. The difference? She does it "innocently". Do you empathize her mother? What's the difference with honor and love? If u hurt others in the process?
Just sayin. Yes lots hate her guts but should empathize with her but sometimes a person can be hatable no matter how pitiful.
empathy by definition doesn't consider external factors such as honor and love. it's UNDERSTANDING. a villain can be hated because they're meant to be hated. and that itself varies depending on a villain's conviction. jeanette just wants people she can call family which, in her mindset, are those she's blood-related to. people don't seem to know how to observe a story from a villain's perspective. if jeanette were the protagonist in the present timeline people would be rooting for her.
don't get me wrong, I don't like jeanette but I get where she's going at. you can hate someone and still empathize with them. forgive but never forget. if people fail to even do that for a blatantly 3-dimensional character like jeanette then how are you even having the complete experience of the story?
I still think she's too greedy— she straight up wants everything. It's very obvious that she wants more than she has (based on her conversations with her father, and just how she wants people's attention to be hers only [based on what she felt when she saw Athanasia and Ijekiel being close & when she envied the closeness of Claude and his daughter when in fact, he's close to Claude atm]) + if people hate her, that just means that she's indeed an effective antagonist in the story.
I don't necessarily hate her I just think she's being selfish honestly I just hope she's smart enough to realize the problem she's causing because she told a person she barely knows information that should be confidential. Saying the king is sick without considering attempts of assassination was dumb but she's also a naive character so I won't be pissed off. She wanted family when she already had it while Ana basically tried to stay on good terms with her dad to stay alive before they built a good stable father-daughter relationship. I feel like the reason Ana was shocked when Jeanette had asked if she would accept her as a sister was the fear of the original story coming back into place where he would love Jeanette instead while she would be ignored til the day she finally reaches her execution at 18.
I literally get annoyed at "innocent" kids when they throw tantrums, what makes ppl think I can't get annoyed at Jeannette, even if she's sad & innocent & all those traits others kept repeating? Lol and it doesn't mean I want her to jump off a cliff or something, she just annoys me because she kept getting in the way. Ofc she deserves a happy ending too, but preferrably miles away from the main characters lol
And no, I don't like Anastacius either, I don't even find him hot. He's like a turd compared to Claude.
I've read the novel ages ago as well, and even there, Jeannette is just not likeable.
SPOILER:
She actually did something bad there, or was about to (I don't exactly remember). Poor Ezekiel has to make do with her lol
Plutus (the artist) likes Jeannette that's why there's too much of her in the manhwa.
