I’m still reading (ch 112) and I like it, but something about the way the conflict and the war is being handled is leaving me with a weird feeling. It’s kinda strange to see a character like Estelle be presented as a fool who didn’t realize that the country she was protecting was corrupted and the the people ruling were evil.
Idk if I’m explaining myself correctly.
When I started reading I hoped she will pick up the sword again, or any weapon that will make her feel as powerful as she felt when she was a knight, I understand if her body was so weak and holding a sword might be difficult but they have showed us that she has physical strength, and plenty. It feels now that they are trying to convince the audience that she would have been better off never becoming a knight or learning how to fight. It makes me so sad.
I don’t like how they are talking about her in these last episodes, saying that if she really cared she should have betrayed her country, the country and the people she dedicated her whole life to, and that she killed innocent people that were accused of treason even tho there weren’t guilty, that she was just a dog, and then showing us how the people that gave up are thriving now. It’s vastly different from the treatment they gave zed when it was revealed that he was ordering the execution of children, why can’t he say no? Why can’t he refuse to follow orders?, when he is awarded with grace and understanding, they say Estelle should have known better and should have refused to follow her king.
A small alarm is going off in my brain and it seems like there is propaganda of some type going on. Idk if I’m exaggerating, probably. They can’t convince me that the war was not beneficial to the winners, that the losing kingdom was evil and that the people are far better off at the mercy of another emperor. “Poor citizens suffering from oppression of their rulers, they should just surrender to another kingdom that certainly does not have any ill intentions”
Also saying they were kind enough to not change the laws of inheritance already established there, what bullshit, how kind and generous.
It feels that they are trying to get any ideas of independence out of Estelle, that she shouldn’t be looking for revenge and should just accept the defeat, For the sake of her relationship with zed
I don’t think they will just make her forget it but it seems that way, I hope they prove me wrong.
Finally, I know it looks like I don’t really like the story but I love it, I’m just worried about where it’s headed.
Any comments criticizing my point of view are welcome, I’ll love to get different perspectives. :)
only the strongest and the least annoying heroines in this list. i am TIRED of the damn trope where she captures everyone’s hearts because of her determindedness and niceness like YUCK. i liked it but then eVERYONE REUSES IT. only bad bitch heroines who have my heart are allowed here. also there’s a lot of isekai here, but if that isn’t your cup of tea DONT WORRY! i have so much not isekai in this list!!!
UPDATE: i updated (mostly) all the reviews! 12/18/23
MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS
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.
Hi, can anyone recommend some good historical/cultivation/ manhuas with female mc??
Better if it has good art and not to much romance :)
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 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 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
Can anyone recommend a manga like mha but better. I like the superhero aspect but it would be really nice seeing something more realistic
