Dude MC was betrayed by her boyfriend and the entire team and left to die.
Inside the dungeon it was clear that time worked differently, and she died hundreds and thousands of time over and over again, that too one of the most painful deaths. She was literally eaten to death. Imagine the feeling of flesh and nerves being ripped out of you all while you don't even die.
It's enough to drive anyone crazy. The fact she has retained this much sanity is something commendable. I feel like a lot of y'all are so used to mcs dying and coming back as if nothing happened, that's not how the human brain works. If you die and that too over and over it is bound to break all your logical senses.
And even though Nara wasn't the one who directly betrayed her, she didn't try to stop the way the rest of the party treated her either.
Combining all these factors, the fact that MC even let Nara live and acts decently with her is a big deal.
I honestly feel like gender may also have something to do with it. A lot of us are used to male MCs s treating the people around them like shit/threatening them/forcing them to cooperate via fear (at least in the beginning) and most people won't bat an eye, or are more willing to ignore it (not always, like I have gotten p tired of that trope and I often leave action series midway (though there's many reasons for that)). I'm definitely looking past our FMC's actions and attitude partly because this is not uncommon for a story in the action genre, and partly because storywise it makes sense.
And yeah, I gotta admit, it feels satisfying to have a female character be batshit insane. Not for the love of a man/person in a yandere sense, just mad in general. It's satisfying to see her go from a timid abuse victim to be able to show aggression and actually kill her abuser. Is it morally right? Meh. It's a story and it's interesting so far.
i was gonna say why are ppl saying "she should be nicer :/" when male mc's are allowed to treat everyone around them like shit and readers applaud them for it there's definitely a gender bias going on
I am genuinely trying to empathise with Anceline and the other people who came as Ambassadors from that other Kingdom, but it's so hard to do so when they make sure to make their personal problems the problems of everyone else
Like I am sorry you have been walking on eggshells all your life, but that doesn't give you the right to throw your shit at others who aren't responsible for your hurt. It's especially shitty since apparently she's supposed to be smarter than others.
Finally the mc is separating Oleg from that shitty father. I'm glad she understood that even Oleg was a victim and they aren't all that different!!
Hope this continues and Oleg ends up mending his ways
As much as I dislike Oleg, he is still a child. The main reason he turned out like that is because of that piece of a shit father.
So seeing a regressor with an adult mental age bully a child does at the end of the day leave a distaste in my mouth. (Not saying I don't understand her reasons though)
She's not bullying him, she's disciplining him. She taught him humility, that actions have consequences, and that he needs to work in order to receive benefits. All lessons that he was never taught before because he didn't have good parents.
She's not disciplining him per day
If she was, she wouldn't turn a blind eye to a child being abused. His personality and the way he turned out is clearly a product of his shitty upbringing, if she truly cared for him she would've tried to separate him from his father
While at some points what she is doing is changing his personality, most of her reason for her actions is to get back at him for her past life. She clearly states in the recent chapter that the only reason she is even talking to him, is because she wants to use him as he's a probable successor.
Completely agree!
Also, for the other commenter, she's in the position of a child she can't do everything, she can't save everyone and she also doesn't want to save everyone. She puts herself first as she should because she has been made to do that as she doesn't have parents and her grandfather has bad health. So I think she already did enough by teaching him a lesson and taking him put of the abusive house. Also the "bullying" is very light and it kind of also teaches him that not everyone will say yes to what he wants, not everyone will agree with him or be nice to him.
This. I hope she remembers that she is an adult with a child body. I would love it if she and oleg get along. She can try to raise that boy and influence him to be a proper adult.
Sweetheart that's what I've been saying. I never said she should save everyone or that I didn't understand why she's focusing on only her grandfather and her future. But what I'm saying is that given the fact she is an adult, it leaves a distaste in my mouth seeing that she's blatantly ignoring the very prominent abuse Oleg faces.
While obviously her abuse was much worse and much more often, Oleg's abuse exists as well, so seeing someone who is supposed to have an adult mentality, clearly thinking about using a child and hating them for what they did in her past life, is kinda shitty.
Exactly how I feel about the situation you couldn't have said it better.
Wait, was she even an adult? in her previous life it did not seem like she had a someone who she would learn from. So it would not make sense to have her suddenly be caring for basically strangers who’s disrupting the only person who she and the og mc cared for the grandpa. I can see what you're saying. In her previous life she was also neglected, had no good role models, does not know the appropriate way to handle this bcs she’s a child herself.
She was a high-school student. Not exactly an adult adult but still waay older than Oleg
WHEN I TELL YOU THIS AUTHOR ALWAYS COOKS WITH THEIR ART AND STORIES.
LITERALLY I COULD READ THEIR STORIES ALL DAY LONG
AND GL WITH A PLOT AND ARTSTYLE THIS GOOD IS SO HARD TO COME BY!!!
GIVE ME 14 OF EACH RN.
HAVE Y'ALL SEEN HOW ABSOLUTELY FATTTTT THE CAT IS- ITS LIKE THE THICCEST
THE SCENE OF IT DRINKING WATER WAS HILARIOUS LMFAOOOO
(Of course the old man is hot as hell, that goes without saying)
But it seems like there's too much of the unnecessary dialogues between the characters compared to the acting itself
Like it's been 10 chapters and we have seen only 1 chapter worth of his acting. Like I'm sorry but I didn't come here to see him interacting with other people and be a comedy piece
Not YOUR cup of tea
Dw brother i dropped it
This entire story is problematic. It has a lot of complex character relationships, however none of them are elaborated upon and the characters seen very one dimensional.
Like let's start with the relationship of the brothers. Clearly both brothers were suffering, even if the things that affected them was different. However neither of them took the chance to get to know the other and simply detested each other even as adults. And even after the FL tells the red haired prince about the way Ernst was treated all he cares about is FL and his victimisation. Sam for Ernst. Clearly they could've been good brothers and even better people if only one of them would've been mature and sensible enough to at least talk to them.
Now let's talk about the Queen. It's so fucking odd that while she was treated like shit by the King, she is ensuring her son did the same to another woman. Now I'm not defending her or anything, but what the King did to her was terrible, she was clearly in love with him and he disregarded that completely and took in a mistress and loved her, and when that didn't work out he came back like a dog to her. Now I know women with trauma may turn into abusers too, but it just doesn't make sense as to why someone who went through that, would want another woman to be raped or assaulted.
Let's talk about the Father of the FL too, he does absolutely nothing. He's just there for the fucking plot propagation or something because he is like a checkpoint of sorts to me. Somehow every decision he takes is wrong.
Now let's get back to the main character, the FL. She lived like a doormat for so long, which should've clearly affected her, but somehow suddenly she becomes confident. And secondly I hate how quickly she falls in love with the red haired ML, like girl you just got over your ex lover, people don't move on that soon.
I love how this story introduced so many problems and problematic relationships and solved none of them. This is practically TRASH OF THE HIGHEST ORDER and listen to me and save yourself from reading this flaming trash
I agree with you.
I don't get it
Let me point out several things that stand out like a sore thumb to me:
1. Why is the mc so obsessed with protecting the prince when clearly he is someone who doesn't remotely have their shit together??
2. The prince is supposed to be a person who's dignified and educated enough to know what to do in times of distress or at least have vassals who can help out in a positive manner, but this guy doesn't seem to be able to differentiate that.
3. The prince's vassals all seem like pieces of shits who indulge the prince's every whim and it's not the right thing to do because in the recent chapter we can clearly see how it has turned out.
4. Why is the story always revolving around the prince and never the FL actually growing. The story basically showed a few chapters and went "OH here you go your overpowered FL who has healed from everything".
I think *maybe* they're both disillusioned. I'm probably wrong, but that's what it seems to me.
What I mean is that FL sees the potential and the capability of the prince as king.
The problem is that the moment FL is no longer at his side as his fiance, he has no potential or capability.
Both the prince and the FL don't recognize that FL is what made the prince "kingly".
By indulging in his whims and being with the other fanciful, clumsy girl and abandoning his former fiance and childhood friend, he has become useless.
Again, I'm probably wrong, but that's what it looks like to me.
