Sometimes i like a manwhore, sometimes. I dont, and this time i don't want the king. I know. I know the idea of romance, but in that same vein i can't imagine a bl with a king being good. He needs to be married and has his responsibilities. Our MC can never be #1, and for that reason i want his subordinate to be his lover. Someone who can and wants to place him above the rest.
This could be a translation thing, but the backstory for the holy sword salt implied a demigod hero, so divine beings. I hope Wis ends up becoming a goddess and the other gods punish the trash for their part in harming the baby goddess. Curse their bloodline! Evil karma for ten thousand reincarnation cycles! Go to kuroinu, as an attractive woman! Live in terror of day break scp 001! Be an experiment for the glory of Ainz ooal gown!
But seriously it's horrible that they got to live happy lives while she was all alone.
I can understand why she was disliked in the past (as much as we sympathize with the 'villainess' type we have to admit many times they had to face the consequences for their actions, even if the retribution is highly disproportionate), but really the brother and father held so much of the blame for ignoring her and causing her to act out and to cling to malicious people for their attention. They straight up anadoned her, and honestly i could never bring myself to trust people who abandoned others. And this was long before her condemnation event. And honestly i bet they all planned to sell her as a prostitute. Disgusting.
And that prince, again trust is super fragile. He straight up admits to using her, so really how could anyone ever believe in his love.
The revenge (extra good because it was a consequence of her trying to move on and not seek revenge but to end a threat) is the only thing worth in this story. I truly hope she could have moved on and find strong loyal bonds who will stay by her side even if she became 'useless' like the prostitute friend.
Its kinda aweful that the doctor from ch 20 iish, hell many of the servants from the past life, all blamed our uke for the semes crazy actions. That's straight up victim blaming. Its one thing such as the someone instigating a colfict or reaction and it's something else when someone insane hurts others cause they're upset.
Honestly since the servants kept blaming our uke for the kings behavior, i lost sympathy for them. Same with that doctor. I feel bad that he lost his son, but why blame the poor guy who's kidnapped and imprisoned
?
I understand the frustration with a stupid FL, but this one doesn't deserve it. If anything I find her admirable for having the courage to kill herself.
If you look at ch 1 again she took the poison AFTER the ML said some stupid inconsiderate things, like imply her feelings don't matter or that she's only good for baby making and not as a partner. (Key word is imply based on the interaction). Sure she had it there beforehand, but she took it once she felt truly hopeless regarding her future. Otherwise she would have taken it earlier.
The ML was in the wrong. He could have easily explained he loved her and wanted to help her kingdom or something, but he just says she and the country are his, showing a ruthlessness and that he didn't care for her. It's not just the rumors. Its his very actions that fed a bad reputation. Plus he bedded her without taking the time to explain to her his affections or that he cares for her.
Yeah, but we don't really know what happened leading up to that moment. He simply must have meant that she didn't have to love him and just do her/their duty and produce an heir.
Because that plot does exist. Where the stoic, mean looking ML is head over heels for the FL but she don't like him because of the rumors surrounding him or something so He pretends to be mean to her instead, to keep her on her toes. Like what I've been doing for a month and a half now, telling my gym buddy, whom I have a crush on, that he's fat in some places even though he's very muscular all because I know he gets all pouty and cute when I do it.
Im a big fan of stories where a Male MC enters into an otome game. It's a good inversion of the genre, like the world of otome games is tough for mobs. Things is, the excecution of this story was bad. First day and so many girls are throwing themselves at him? He hasn't even done anything impressive. And that kinda lowers my opinion of the harem girls if they throw themsleves to this random guy. And there is very little influence of the otome game. If thats the case make it a generic historical world isekai. Its the chechoves gun were a detail (otome game world) has to be important to the story.
Dropped around ch 5. Characterization/interactions are very important for these type of stories, yet it failed that.
I kinda hate the naive types but do admire the self sacrificing type who hurt themselves knowing they would get hurt (emotionally/betrayed) by others. Those characters are amazing when written right. I can seeour MC trying to be like that but it falls a bit flat. Rather than forgiving she feels more like a push over.
I feel like the archdemon is her past lives lover and the prince is the friend who secretly loved her. Also really hate her 'friend'. Obliviousness can only excuse so much. She's suppose to be her friend. How can she be so blind to the pain she causes and now she's trying to get between someone's relationship. Either she's extremely selfish or she's a green tea bitch
Mao is the name of the coworker, which is strangely close to Maou. Is this a hint to his true identity as the demon king? He would be great as a romance prospect.
Also I seriously don't get why manwhores are so appealing. I mean women who sleep with a new guy every day aren't so why would a male doing so be? Is this one of those things like 'my love can change him' cause I can't think of anything that makes those types be appealing.
