Remember children, consent through fear, through pressure, through fear of abandonment and so on IS NOT TRUE CONSENT. That's called marital (in this case) rape, and yes, even if the sex is good
It's an historical piece and it's quite romanticized so it's alright, but never forget that in real life, consent should be FREELY GIVEN & WITHOUT COERCION (and ethusiastic)
I know right?? I sometimes think that such stories shoud, you know, have a prelude/preface/thingie where the author takes the time to explain such important distinction, because some readers can be very impressionable! I know it is done more and more in fanfictions, maybe it could spread to manga too!
This story is veeeery well done! usually in isekai we know immediately exactly what happened in MC's past live, if she was loves, betrayed, hated and so on. And that's it, that's the end, the past is the past and we never know more of it. In this story, we thought, just like Shuli, that she was hated by everyone, that her family didn't love her and that she was completely alone until the very end. Like Nora said, she was unaware of the loving people by her side even until her death, and that's the saddest thing ever. But what is impressive in this story is that we, the reader, also didn't know anything! We really were in her perspective, so the revelation of the last few chapters is quite a chock. This is also my first time reading an isekai that shows what happened AFTER the death of MC, it just makes it all the more good!!!
Ohohoh, so "intra-family marriages were common"? Does that mean that Dion and/or Jeremy have a chance? Just kidding. Unless... Am I ?
nah that guy is just especially messed up
