I needed to take a couple deep breaths, because WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, LOUIE!!! Up until now I thought that he was one of the rare ones who had a few braincells to spare, but dear god, chapter 22 was spectacularly bad. Like, holy hell, Louie outdid everyone in the brainless department.
This. This is what I absolutely hate in the "weak and kind" type of characters. Like, sure being kind is good, but not this absolute bullshit!!! I abhor it, when a "kind" type of character gets hurt and abused by evil on two legs, a person who has no redeeming qualities (beyond a sob story that doesn't add or take away from how evil they are), and instead of being rightfully angry and punishing that person, they decide to forgive, or worse, help them.
Kind does not equal being fucking brainlessly, selfsacrificially, endlessly forgiving!!!! It's so rare to see kind characters being done right, where they do stand up against their abusers, and refuse to forgive.
Instead we get this shitshow.
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!! It wouldn't be enough to completely skip the fact that Azlak 100% earned a horrible death after he abused Louie, nearly raped him, murdered a wolf Louie cared about, and started a war in such a way that it's a miracle that Louie wasn't hanged and quartered right away, OH NO!!!
We also need to drag Marja into it!! It wasn't enough for Louie, that he would forcefully break a deal that is meant to stop the war (a.k.a. indirectly contribute to murder and suffering for even more people!!), he also had to whine and moan until Marja felt like he has no other way to stop Louie from doing what is essentially suicide, but to sacrafice himself!
AND FUCKING LOUIE WAS COMPLETELY ALRIGHT WITH IT!!! Like, BRO. Wtf is wrong with you?? You would honestly exchange shithead Azlak, your rapist, abuser, murderer, starter of senseless wars, for the poor Marja who did nothing, but loyally follow you and serve you, even though it made him a hostage in a hostile land too?? Poor Marja only did his best for Louie, he was loyal and sincere, and THIS is the thanks he gets??? "I would die for your happiness", "kk, thanks bro, c ya never"???? Louie didn't even fucking hesitate!!
Jesus fucking christ on a pogo stick. It feels like the author gathered all the worst clichés, amplified them to a 100, and then released that sewage under the name "Ookami no Hanayome", just to do a social experiment and see how many death threats he/she can get for one manga. I bet, the author cackled every time they released a new chapter to burn the brains of the readers.
At this point, I only want to see the end so that I can see prince Zeth happy.
Please.
