This sucks ass but Helena is fineeeee
She's too freaking gorgeous to be just a side character .
What the hell is this bro
It went so bad so fast, they don't explain absolutely anything and then hit us with "the bad guys are executed :)" and all of a sudden the people who raised the og fl turned against her even tho fl looked very guilty. It happened so fast.
And to be honest im not really invested in the romance anymore.
the protagonist seems so bland now, shes just a victim and that's her entire character, there's nothing more to her.
Man idek why I'm reading this.
Almost everyone here is a bad person, I kinda like it.
At first I expected it to be a typical the-villains-were actually-the-victims trope, but its not and that makes it unique.
I actually feel bad for the original protagonists, they are all actively being tricked.
I do have some critique, like a lot of it. it's not a masterpiece but it's pretty interesting.
Why is everything happening so fast? It feels like a conflict without any type of build up. To be such an important part of the story it kinda feels like it happened in a day. I think it should have taken more time in order to create tension.
I also feel like her decision to see him one more time felt very rushed.
Idk if this is going to sound exaggerated but it seems like the characters didn't actually suffer or went through something they haven't been through before, don't get me wrong I didn't want her to get beaten to death or something, but the conflict and their circumstances felt pretty bland
I agree, this was actually different than in the novel. This part was portrayed better in the novel. I heard they changed it to keep it PG but honestly, it doesn’t convey the reason why she met the last conditions by the author (plus why she suddenly decided to get captured).
Spoiler:
In the novel, she was beaten badly and abandoned (she didn’t expect it either so that’s strike one for betrayal). She got tired of everything and basically lost the will to live. The train scene was so sad and I’m a bit disappointed it was changed, this was where the guards were looking at each passenger and she decided to show herself (she still have bruises and she was keeping her hands warm with the hot potatoes she bought as a snack). I think they fell short on showing how Edith felt hopeless that she decided she just wants to rest. I’m curious what’s going to happen next though lol since Edith is free and the Duchess basically exposed Reeze already so the dungeon scene is pointless at this point. It’s like they’re cutting a good portion before the conclusion so it might look more rushed towards the end.
I think they really failed at showing her feelings of hopelessness. In the situation she was in she could have easily ran away and the viewers would understand it, that's why it seems so weird that she decided to come back
I think she is kinda losing herself... I want her to get out of that situation so bad bro.
On another note, the bodyguard would be a good love interest
I was literally thinking of how the bodyguard is better
right??? she usually eats a lot
I really hope they fall in love and it's genuine. They hace such an interesting dinamic and I think they would be really cute together.
Tbh I think they should take it slow and develop a more serious relationship when both of them are ready
I'm I the only one who truly prefers the red haired dude, tbh I think romance is kinda unnecessary but if I had to choose, I would choose him.
I like ash but he seems kinda bland compared to the fl. I don't think she will live the life she wants if she ends up with him, if he becomes emperor she would be tied to a position she doesn't really wants.
The red dude just seems like a better pairing for her. I also like the fact that he's older since she is mentally like 30 something.
