i really need them to skip to the part where she meets his parents and it’s revealed she’s been giving his father love advice for months
just a note: there are a lot of side stories (like 15+ chapters total) so there are more than this one about the queen. the one about the queen also answers most questions about how things ended up the way they were in the main series. most tie up loose ends for side characters while others and show scenes of the future.
I was getting extremely frustrated at her inability to realize it’s no longer just a game, so I went back. Totally forgot she was playing an extremely realistic-looking VR game—of course she can’t tell the difference at face value. When you play a game that many times, everything becomes so familiar you stop thinking about anything except your objective. Anything new or different is just “interesting” (from experience). Also, because it’s VR, she was already mentally immersed from the start.
Oh I get it now
I wish they handled the situation with janet better than whatever that was. She deserved her punishment, but could have been manipulated into giving testimony before receiving it. And that’s just Janet. The main culprit is the prince, but he’s such a high-profile figure they need a strong case to bring him down, and losing witnesses is the opposite of helpful. What will starting a war and putting unrelated people to the sword solve? Independence is good for security but surely there is another way to bring this vile man to justice aside from trouncing him when he shows up with an army—most people don’t even know the extent of the crimes he’s committed to have an opinion on the matter. We, the audience, hardly had time to process everything he revealed to MC let alone consider the implications of it all. We didn’t even have time to process the SA of MC before the story switched gears from the high-tension political intrigue to the romance. The romance is still important, the pivot was just a little jarring? underwhelming? confusing? idk. It’s sad because the mystery about what happened to ML’s ex-fiancée was part of the entire premise—the reason behind the deal between our main couple in the first place—was finally going somewhere before that momentum just stopped. And now we’re picking things back up in the least subtle way possible, with dire consequences. I like the series, don’t get me wrong, I just think the flow is weird
I think the punishment for her was quite ok. They did say that they her testimony will be helpful but it's not necessary. Giving her more hope that she is "needed" just gives her the satisfaction which she definitely does not deserve
I agreee!!!
esp regarding the sa thing.. It’s a sensitive subject so I’m kinda dissatisfied with how it was handled, I wasn’t able to enjoy the romance after it since what happened was rlly srs n a sensitive topic i was expecting a more slower pacing allowing us to process that situation and have it be addressed but no it just jumped straight into that shit n i was NOT feeling it ☠ the whole tension n everything just felt so forced and yeah underwhelming
i know the title is “materialistic princess” but to pivot from being offended by the bribery accusations to describing the cartoonishly villainous way she handled all of the bribes was pretty audacious
what kind of mother would hold information about a serious from their now-adult child, especially when her marriage to the duke was crucial to treating it?? why wouldn’t the importance of the medication have been relayed to the maid too? i don’t doubt MC will be able to get the medical help she needs because, even if he has no idea, kynell clearly has a connection to the royal family who have access to the meds—he has the same black hair as the crown prince and this is literally called “royal marriage.” i hope her mother isn’t truly redeemed. yeah she might care in her own way, but surely there were other ways to get medical help that didn’t conveniently involve MC becoming a duchess. she married off her children for their well-being as a family with nothing to their name, but it became straight up exploitative at a certain point.
kind of want spoilers but the other part of me just wants to see how this train wreck plays out in real time because it’s hella interesting in this twisted sort of way.
he really thinks with his whole (lower) brain that she’s gonna be into this and want to run away with him after all the “discipline” he gives her. delusional. disgusting.
they’re so adorable i’m glad they’re already married. she would be an absolute fool to throw away this peace and happiness (and delicious food) for something that clearly made her unhappy, even if she might not be fully conscious of that fact yet
Frr Even I don't know why she's going back when she realises the difference pretty nicely, she remembers what made her sad and how people treated her and realises how she is now but still.... anyways it's drama after all something must happen to make the story interesting
don’t get me wrong, i appreciate effort, but somehow using my browser’s auto translate on the raws gets a better translation than whatever the hell this is
