It was a great read, but I'm not a fan of how the story tried to make Shiori and Tora's sister's situations seem...heartwarming? Am I supposed to feel pity for Shiori's parents after they drove her to do what she did? And Tora's sister's entire life was spent taking care of others. Their lifestyles make sense considering the time period they're in, but I wish the mangaka didn't downplay how awful their situations were solely because of their gender.
because it is heartwarming. Wether there was any play of women not being able to do what they do during that time, Tora's sister and his wife specifically wanted a peaceful life with their kids. Everyones situation was awful and ofcourse the mangaka especially didn't downplay the situation of tora's sister chose to take care of CHILDREN AND FAMILY specifically. Idk if you read the story entirely but her job in the town is also serving as a midwife. Her goal was for everyone in the story to realize that children's upbringing is important and that's also why she regret but at the same time know that its a good thing to take apart Tora from their mother. TORA'S sister's whole life wasn't just spent taking care of others. Her mission was always to give importance on why caring for one another is important.
I enjoyed it up until the part with the twins' issue. Why was Damian the one who had to reach out to Dylan and speak to him when HE was the victim? Dylan wasn't there for Damian when he was literally being accused of a crime. Idk if I'm being sensitive, but that shit is unforgivable. Ruined the rest of the mood of the story for me.
Some of you guys have such a sick mindset towards abusive families...blood doesn't mean SHIT. The things her family did - being physically and emotionally abusive, neglecting her, and just being overall hateful - are irredeemable. The brothers being influenced by the father does NOT excuse them of their actions. They knew what they did was wrong and still did it. A person is allowed to discard their family after being ABUSED by them lmao.
They didn't give her a chance to have a decent childhood and they never cared about her when she was miserable and suffering while she was a sword. Now that she is stronger mentally and physically and financially starting to have a glimpse of happiness, they want to get her back and act like a real brothers??
When she wanted them they didn't want her, but when she doesn't want them they want her?? NO THANKS
Sweatheart , weather it was because of his surroundings or because of his parents, a racist is a racist and a murderer is a murderur and a terrorist is a terrorist, their childhood doesn't excuse their behaviour, cuz in the end their behaviour did harm to others and they don't even think it's wrong. Yes some of them might apologise or smn, but it won't erase the lost and pain that the victims suffered.
like you can't forgive every criminal who apologised only because of their childhood or because they were in a bad mood, or else the world would have been a maniac mess .
Your logic only works for those who have a bad personality but they don't do any harm to others, it's just their personality is nasty. In this case you can excuse him or even try to befriend him to help him get through it so that he can show his true personality which is hidden deep down cuz you know he can be better than that.
Or you can leave him alone, cuz some people just want to be alone.
I can't believe I held off on reading this for so long because of comments about MC being annoying. She isn't annoying at all. She's a realistic character - funny, selfish, and kind (to some extent LOL) to the ones she loves. The art is pretty, and all the characters are equally interesting. Ray, Undine, and the dragon especially are SO CUTE. And the plot progresses at an excellent pace - not too fast, not too slow.
Lol that monk is definitely sus. And I'm very confused about MC's feelings towards her father. How does she love him while knowing he murdered the sect heir's parents?
Yea I was also surprised but this is what I think. She was an orphan in her past life and from the glimpse we got in the previous chapters the dad seemed like to not like her. In this life she sees that her dad cares about her and that everyone dotes on her so she decided to abandon her original plan to escape from sect heir and even if he revolts she will stay with her dad. She cares about the sect heir but she also loves her dad. What she feels for the sect heir right now is two things one is pity because of what her dad then and also a little bit of a crush due to her previous life. Not sure if this helps but this is my perception of it all for now.
Y'all are annoying for misinterpreting the story without considering context... Ashtarte and Rion's meeting was lifechanging for the both of them - they each experienced loneliness and deprivation and were able to connect through those feelings. Rion was the one who helped Ashtarte acknowledge her family's cowardice and accept the people closest to her as family. She's still a very sheltered princess but it's not fair to write off the character growth she's experienced. Not to mention, Rion was the first person Ashtarte trusted outside of her immediate retainers/family. He's the only one outside of that circle who gets the first name treatment, and Ashtarte being concerned about his feelings in regard to Isaiah's request makes sense.
exactly
I have not read this manhwa, but I'm going to agree with you just because your comment sounds like a based take. I'm gonna check back in a few days (or months, lol, I don't have commitment to OI's) when I catch up to see if i still agree with you.
Exactly!!
