Am I the only one who doesn't hate her parents. Yes what they did at the start of her life was wrong, Parents are meant to love their children unconditionally, and they treated her terably because of something not within her control and based on a legened about someone else, it's no wonder that the other version of her from the book became bad, children want attention and if being good doesn't work, they can start being bad. However since she never went down that path, I think her parents know that they were wrong now, but don't know how to close the gap that they created.
Mostly the one I'm annoyed at is the light spirit holder, they have to be a charaterthat doesn't understand that a life based on a book, doesn't have to be that book, she didn't even think of changing the story, which means she was fine with the concept of killing someone
Nah, the parents are still to blame. Even if was against her, they should have stood by her side. If we're weighing things abiut the parents, the mother was the worst. After the war, she tried to "mend" their relationship by having her attend parties with people she was acquainted with. Basically trying to ride the coattails of her daughter's victory. I'm glad the MC is just maintaining the minimum amount of decency and respect to her mother because frankly, she doesn't deserve jackshit.
There was the comment before when deciding what to do about the war where the mother said that the father's decision in the meeting was done for the mc, and how he could be beside her and protect her, this is what made me think that the parents regret what they did.
Also I never said they weren't to blame, I acctually went over how they were a main factor in why the original book version went bad, they teated her horriblly as a kid, and couldn't believe in her at all. However since, to me, they seem to regret their earlier actions, I believe there is a chance for them to be redeemed, not forgotten or nessacarlly forgiven, but allowed to move forward. If they can admit their mistakes, their horrible actions, and in the future stand by her, then theres a chance
Or I could just be optimisticly reading too much into the later stuff the parents do, but I like how I saw it. I'll just have to see as the story unfolds
What change in the brother? he seemed to be on the mc's side since they were young. And besides which its ussually easier for younger people to change than older people. Also I'm not okay with their behaviour, and I'm not ignoring it, I'm just essitally with-holding jugdement on them until later in the story.
I don't like what they did, but I don't hate them because, to me, they seem to be learning, and have a chance for growth.
I prefer to think optimisticly, people can change and regret their past behaviours, it doesn't change what they've done, it doesn't mean the trurma and pain is gone from the other person or people they've hurt, but just as what they've done is there, so is their potental for the future.
If you don't feel this thats fine, I'm well aware my brain tends to think diffrently to others, I don't believe either viewpoint is wrong, as there is always diffrence in how things are seen between people. Even if people go through the same or similar experiances they will take diffrent things from it.
But the problem is that if the MC didn't know better, her parents' action might have cause the MC to be evil. Future actions won't even matter since she would have died in battle. The MC - a child - isn't a therapist for their shitty behavior nor a stepping stone for their personality change. So in conclusion, we hate neglectful parents. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
The father wasn't neglectful (though the mother was), he didn't not take care of her, the main problem was they were afraid of her, and saw her as a monster when she hadn't ever done anything.
I agree that she isn't a therapist or steping-stone for a personality change. I'm not expecting a sudden change, but I'd like a gradual one.
I already metioned that they were resopnisble for her turning evil in the origianl story, I don't disagree with that, I just belive they have a chance further down the line in this one
Due to the story of the past, people discrimniated agaist her. It's not surpising that the first few people to accept her are children who would of had less time for these stories to be ingraned into them. Her parents would of had these ingrand in them for years before they had her, yes they should have accepted her anyway, but even just that they're able to move past it now, and come to acept her is something I'd like to believe in.
I think in the orginal story he became diffrenet due to how the mc reacted to how people were treating her, but in this one, he supported her from the start because she never became jaded in this one. Remember light spirit person is going off of where the story was originally meant to be by this point, not what's accutally happening. So my take is the brother changed in the original, but not in this one
I mean that could be said for the dad but as for the mother she was horrible, her actions and her words. She acted on her hate. Her dad just ignored things that was going on and didn’t know how to act around her while the mother blamed her for everything and really thought she was evil. Avoided her accused her of stuff, neglected her....
I'd say she acted on fear, I feel hate emplies there be a stronger bond even if a negative one, and the mother didn't have a bond at all when the mc was younger. I did admit that the mother was neglectful, compleatly advoidant until the mc proved herslef enough that the mother was forced to teach her. I don't deny the earlier behaviour, however I feel like after the dark spirit showed himself to tell them off when the mother accused mc of trying something, and the spirit said what accutally happened, that the parents were finally able to start the process of pulling away from their ingraned predudice agaist the 'holder of the dark spirit' and start seeing her as a person, a child, their child, who they've been treating as a burdan. It's not like they can suddenly compleatly change their behaivour, at that point it to would have felt fake and unreal if they suddenly started treating her with friendlyness, there are years of fear they had in between, and they aren't close like child and parents should be, but they've broken the wall that made them simply see the mc as a conduct of the dark spirit.
They may never truly be close, and there isn't anything they could ever do to compleatly remove the pain they caused, but they can still accept her now, and fight for her/believe in her in the future, if the author does that then I'd think it be nice, if the author decides to punish the parents for what they did earlierthen I can also accept that. To use labyok's comment, I can see the other side of the coin, I understand where everyone else is comming from, but I choose to view it from a diffrent side, and I'm trying to show people that side, because I want to believe in it, and believe that no matter how ingraned a thought is, people do have the chance to push passed it, and see beyond what they've been brought up to believe
I like the potental of the story. Also I really want the childhood friend to be what he said, just a friend cause people can be friends with the gender they're attracted to without it needing to have a onesided romantic feelings subplot. However this is a Josie, so he probally will turnout to have romantic feelings for her all along
