When characters are deemed a "strong FL" just coz they're a girl in a historical manhwa
Like girlie really isn't all that (not saying she's unqualified to be a MC or anything but in my eyes she is average at best), AND ITS OKAY TO NOT BE A STRONG FL, I LOVEEEE stories with weak FL (and/or MC) coz u can to see them grow, but here I don't see her growing (besides being slightly less naive)
[not that she has to grow, she do her, but it is slightly annoying that the other characters are like "she's so not like other girls", and it's like YES SHE IS, they just have low standards and she's a decent human being who swallows her emotions]
Also, I STAND BY THAT MANS SMILE, like obvi sad babygirl is sad, BUT LETS ME REAL, WE'RE ALL HAPPY THE OLD MAN LEFT
Obvi what ML did is wrong and no one (and no tragic backstory) is defending his actions, BUTTTTT let's be real, anyone put in his situation could EASILY behave and react the way he did. He didn't do bad things coz he's a bad person, he did them coz he was taught them (thro literal brainwashing and torture)
As for the FL, she's innocent, she didn't have a say in which family she was born into and she was also EXTREMELY sheltered so she had no way of knowing that ppl actually suffered or what suffering even meant, BUTTTTTT I do see why (fictional) ppl hate her (tho not deserved). She was their world's Marie Antoinette "let them eat cake" girlie who represented the toxicity of the ruling class, again undeserved hate, but I see the thought process
Getting mad at him for saving u from rape is dumb... but understandable, he wasn't in his right mind when he got mad (A LOT to process so getting mad at anyone nearby is realistic), BUT MAKEING HIM SAY SORRY TO HIS RAPISTS?!?!?! BRUH, BFFR
I love how the misunderstanding keeps getting worse
Im it's fiction but I'm genuinely worried about the staff employees, like ik they'll be fine, but imagine losing ur job coz despite all odd, ur MALE Boss's stalker is PREGNANT
It seems like uke was the in the wrong and seme was literally the victim
(maybe the seme is equally bad??? I doubt it tho, it's prob one of those "I actually loved u the whole time and protected u in the shadows" misunderstanding)
ALSO, main issue, UKE HAS DONE FROM MESSED UP STUFF (bullying, blackmail, paralyzing an old lady), not saying he's irredeemable, but so far he hasnt actually done anything to reverse the damage and everyone is like "well he said sorry" as if THAT excuses it
THE DAD SUCKS!!!!!
He is literally the root of all these problems, sidenote EVERYONE (not uke...and MAYBE the other kingdom dude) SUCKS too
I'm not really into plots where the MC is a GROWN adult inside a lil kid who practically raises/changes their love interest and then they fall in love like some pseudo grooming relationship.......is this like that?
I was reading the summary wondering why it sounded soooo familiar, THEN REALIZED ITS BASED ON THE LIGHT NOVEL, CUTEEEEEE
...I was holding out for the secretary's story. Still haven't finished it BUT PLZZZZ tell me he has a story!!!! With the blonde guy maybe???
•At 1st I felt bad for him coz I thought he was the better option and knew he wouldn't get picked
•Then I thought he was a dickhead for neglecting the MC AFTER they formed a sort of relationship
•NOW, I realized he was only being neglectful out of consideration for MC (heart in the right place, but went about it completely wrong)
From hopefulness, to anxiety, to hatred, to peace, to content
Also, phos got their happy ending so that's all there is to it
