No matter how much author covers Raretis in gold and jewels and try to portray him as an innocent boy that didn't realize his feelings and doesn't know how to deal with women...
I won't work. Mfckr had frigging years to do something... he knew Ophelia enough to know she'd be supportive of them... He did nothing...
Honestly I do think he's the ugliest of the 3... even long haired psycho is less bland them him... at least that trash have some personality to him. Calling him bland is an understatement.
But what I really can't deal with is him not doing anything and letting the family bring Ellodi in. I don't hate her, but is impossible to see her as a substitute when her personality and actions are that different from Ophelia... Tbh asides eye color and hair... she doesn't look like her at all? And him complying with them doing that is ridiculous to me.
All 3 are trash... I'd rather they introduced a new char as ml than one of them... this one frustrated me so much I don't even know why I haven't dropped it yet...
Nah... I do like them as friends/adopted sisters. It mas the most normal sibling relationship I've seen in comics for a while... cuz normally they be acting almost like mother and daughter or like those siscon oniichan oniichan from mangas... so Id rather have them as friends/sisters for my peace of mind.
Ellodi on the other hand... It would be nice if mc saw her for who she is instead of a substitute and was like... nah... she's totally different, they don't even look that much alike. And they fell for each other. That would be a better GL end for me.
XD
I don't hate it but... I think their ages are all messed up? Like those are kids KIDS ffs... they are not even 10yos... where the frick that's how little kids act? Id get if they were young teenagers at 12 13yo... but literal kids???
And I don't even mention the "game original male leads"... who's the fckd up pedo that though it would be a good idea to mix little kids heroines and adult man male leads? Because the long haired brother and "crossdressing" teacher (another stupid idea) are at least... at fricking least 10 years older than mc.
I'd be all up for it if it was true to the title and didn't involve any romance or the Og dating sim... but seeing adults show "hints" of romantic interest towards a little kid... that weirds me the f out. I can't even go with the excuse she's an adult inside and it would be weirder seeing her grooming a little kid... because she doesn't act like a fricking adult at all!
So honestly I don't know if I'll push myself and keep reading or not... because the pedo vibes are disgustingly strong on this one...
There's many things on it that normally would make me love it... including a love interest that can carrytheir own weight, a mysterious ~hot~ side character, op weapon, etc...
But the MC... he is just... so unlikable? He does too much dumb sheet. I like the FL.. but him hitting on her a couple minutes after she almost murdered him? Just cuz he found out she's a hottie under the armor? Makes no sense. And his actions and reactions sometimes are too clownish without he meaning to.
I don't mind her being disabled. I do mind how powerless she seems to be even tho she's the one doing the empress and emperor's duties. I also hate the "villainous mistress" being a servant and walking all over her. I'd understand if it was another noble woman she couldn't touch because of her family... and understand even less how a servant's kid was allowed to be childhood friends with the future emperor and empress. Not to mention the trope of emperor with inferiority complex manipulated by a woman.
And tbh I didn't get about her illness/blessing. It made no sense to me. I also don't understand why is she still doing all the work after all this. And why her time reversed so little? Besides the misogyny shown. I feel this would be like remarried empress, in which my angst and anger would be way bigger than the pleasure of their comeuppance. A 100 chapters of suffering for a couple of them having him and the mistress "fall from grace". Not worth it. I will bookmark it and read a couple more just for the chance of the ml being a key in her becoming the true ruler and idk... in hopes she gets less powerless soon?
But definitely on the top 5. Godanggit what a dumb Fl! Istg most of time she acts and thinks like a dang 13yo! Yeah, I feel bad for the Ml because he was a soldier under orders and I know she could have a worse fate than marrying him. But I feel worse for OgFl. Most comments are right, I'd rather have OgFl learning about the novel and fixing things enough to not get offed but not so much she'd "seduce" him back instead of that dumbarse.
Honestly being a modern woman makes no difference in the story and it makes no sense for them to be amazed by her singing like that when they do have pros and she couldn't even be called a professional singer, she couldn't even make money out of it! And she applies 0 modern knowledge in that life!
Dkdc about the 2nd wife but Ml actually seems better off with her. At least it seemd she does love him.. but I think most elegible women from that country would love to marry him. The title is also very deceptive. There's a whole difference between "becoming" and "wanting to become"... and by the end of that 5th year I bet sho won't want it too.
The part I can't get over tho... is her massive stupidity and trust in the novel she's read. The LEAST she could do is fricking read some newspaper to learn about current state of things. Learn some fugging etiquette cuz I doubt some broke modern korean would know how to eat a full course western meal (heck I'm western and even I don't know!), not to mention tea etiquette and social etiquette. I won't talk about suddenly wearing heels most of time and big heavy dresses that you keed help to get into and off of and chalk it to muscle memory, same with dancing. But the rest? Bish should've hit the library asap to say the least! Even using the amnesy excuse would be better.
Aish waste of time... the only one I like in this is the Emperor... and how no queen/concubine was mentioned besides the Empress.
I've read some spoilers and am really glad about 2 things:
1- the dad didn't cheat. He was a victim of OgFl's mom schemes. It's sad for him but I don't like the notion that rich and powerful cheat and it's not a big thing and that bringing in the bastard to their homes and forcing them to be accepted as family is ok. They should give the deserved support but wife and kids don't deserve being forced to accept it. Even more if its a beech like OgFl.
2 - both leads manage to go back to their world in the end. The mcs who have a chance to go back are few... and most of them choose to abandon their og life... it's even worse to me when it's a FL who had a nice and stable modern life and gives it up because of "love". So im glad both are equals and go back.
Y'all screaming gae on the comments... let's be real... it would be worse if it was a girl instead... it's boring af when everyone mc gets in his entourage is female... I know many are just joking but seeing everyone that wants to be close to mc (that's not fugly or too old looking) as potential romance... kinda says a lot... both about op mc comics in general and a bit about rl... were we see a lot of people trowing themselves "romantically" at powerful/rich people for their crumbs...
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Personally I like comics where characters aside mc ain't categorized between ones to fock and ones to fock over. They either want to sleep with mc or envy and want him dead... like... just how bad is their personality that they can't have even 1 normal friend? XD
I agree wh ur statement. It gets super tiring to see a girl pop up only for the sake of getting her boing boing in shot and maybe be MC's love interest(s) in the future and/or a guy pop up just to be dead set on murdering MC because MC is way too op for their lowly self. He may not be MC's most 'normal' friend... but hey, he - a male - has a friend with a sausage & 2 fishballs and not watermelon boing boings for once. I like it. It's a rare occurrence for me.
