I low key love Gestella. She just somehow brings just enough intensity that made the unbalanced chaos feel balanced
I think it had potential and I don’t think it’s bad or anything but I do think it really lacks in its plot and storytelling.
The story is clearly there but it’s like the author has never heard of a scorned woman before. There’s just no way the FL after all she went through in her previous life could be fools by such obvious schemes.
Not to pull gender into this but it’s reads like a man that’s never met a woman wrote this. Or a man that thinks women are incapable of doing for themselves.
I get that historically for the time it would probably be more accurate to put it that way but given that the story is about preventing her grandfathers death and not ending up back in a situation like she was in, it’s just odd that there are times when she seems like the same naive and timid girl that was abused in her past life.
Its just weird and tbh frustrating
Why am I completely expecting her to be wearing makeup I feel like it such a her thing to do that she wouldn’t even want to see her cousin with a pretty face
I saw a lot of people having some misunderstandings in the comments. They think the fl deserves to hurt because she played with ml’s heart.
However that’s not true. She never expected him to actually like her and when she realized not only did he really like her she begun trying to amend the situation. (Though she probably could have just had a conversation)
Anyways after realizing she was also denying her own feelings because she didn’t want to hurt him more she still thought she was dying. So to her she thought she was sparring his feelings by leaving.
Anyways if yall wanna blame ANYONE, blame the author for forcing such odd bouts of misinformation and miscommunication.
I’m not necessarily a full-blown hater of romance in action/adventure type of genres, however, I do find that on occasion (often actually) That the romance tend to somehow diminish storytelling in some aspect. I think that probably has something to do with writers crunching on romance to further your feelings towards characters and the story, regardless, I love Gestella.
I love that the author didn’t crutch on the romance between Kaiden and her, And I love that her character isn’t ordinary and has a very unique aura and personality. She is probably out of all of the characters, one of my favorite top favorite character (it’s a toss up with Jiwoo. He’s such a cute little bean )
That Callisto and her second brother have been the only people really supporting her through everything is what does it for me.
I’m glad her dad has finally come around but a little too late don’t you think?
He never bothered to figure out what was happening with her and when he did find out all he could offer was an apology and a little too late action. And DERRICK I thought MAYBE you could be a little redeemable but good god dude is your brain simply there for decorating?! Even if you assume something was questionable at the ceremony ruling Yvonne out just because she’s your sister and wasn’t “planned” to arrive is wild.
SMH
We are all aware that wind isn’t really “sharp”. In theory it certainly can be and we have seen in demonstrated in reality as well but my thought is if she can control wind/ AIR… is it not entirely possible for her to form an oxygenless atmosphere around an opponent.
Of course she would have to be able to contain it so it’s not easy to break free from, so I can’t help but I imagine layers and layers of wind shaft like vortexes acting as a barrier to delay/stop and enemy from exiting the airless bubble.
But even if you say that’s not possible there is still so much she could do. Like assuming those iron fragments are being controlled could she not apply the same principle but just wrap the fragments in air/wind and manipulate them in a similar capacity.
Again this goes with assuming she has to create a strong enough wind barrier or a wind strong enough to lift (but this would take away the ability to manipulate the object since she would simply be lifting it)
Anyways I hope the author gets into a much broader range of ability and application with the characters.
Because clearly there’s way more to speed than speed, especially when you consider The Flash and what he is capable of.
And if you think about storm from X-men she doesn’t solo control wind but weather and there is a lot practical application of wind in her abilities too.
That here modern life brothers look eerily similar to her fantasy life brothers.
Something tells me that there is way more to the story than she just hated her life.
Also maybe she didn’t have a great life but for her brothers to be there sleeping in her room waiting for her to wake up does speak to having a family that doesn’t love her. Granted the guilt of losing a loved one can cause people to realize how much they regret and do care. Which doesn’t make it ok but anyways.
Those are just my thoughts.
Tooth had horns like the “duke” in her past memories. I wonder if the “real” dragon died long ago and Tooth took his place.
Though I guess maybe the real duke might also have horns. It’s probably more likely this than that tooth replaced him.
