The only thing that makes sense in this story is the mc mental health, cause no way he lived with an abusive mother and went through all that with his fake half step brother then come to find out he's been groomed by his uncle?? Holy shit i better not cause none of yall calling him weak this is the strongest mc I've ever met, mentally he is unbeatable
So far we've met 2 female who were strong sword users, chief steward and the red head, so what I'm confused about is why can't the mc learn swordsmanship? Why is it impossible for her? There are already women who have proven themselves capable with a sword and im sure a lady from a swordsmanship family would be more than exceptional. Is it a curse? Misogyny? Uhhhjdjdjjs idk man
I think that the two women don’t know the family’s (forgot the last name already lol) swordsmanship due to that it’s solely based on pure strength- which men typically have more of, but even more so that her family are naturally more sturdier than the average man. the family only bore sons, which is why it’s only that the men would be the ones to learn it. Even the mother doesn’t know the swordsmanship even tho she apart of the family and share the name. Hence that’s why princess is not allowed to learn it.
Plus, even if she could, the princess wouldn’t want to learn it anyways bc she’s cursed (only living until 21). Tho I do agree that the curse also adds on to why she can’t learn it, it isn’t the main reason.
Can we as a society agree that not all stories have to be this deep intricate plot with super complex characters, the story is fast paced but isn't that confusing tbh and is honestly purely entertaining purposes, it's the classic story of two lovers having to overcome challenges, first was they themselves, then the father, now the uncle.
And can I just say usually in these types of stories the mc would be this innocent naive and gullible person? But no instead we see himnas someone who's actually suffering and trying to live despite it, he's strong and is willing to face things head on and we can see that through his choices weather it's the right one or not
