For all the intelligence the FL is supposed to have (which is mentioned ad nauseum), she seems to be painfully devoid of any common sense. Any instances of her failing to utilize common sense is attributed to her being a scholar. She is a doormat with incredibly poor communication skills and even worse reasoning. This is probably the author struggling with how to incorporate the hyper intelligence they attributed to the FL but the needs for her to be dumb enough to allow easily resolvable conflict to play out around her for the sake of the plot. All this useless chatter she does with the emperor and repeatedly fails to mention the severe disrespect being shown to the imperial family. The ML is even worse. He's essentially a murder puppet with zero communication skills. I bought the chapters legally on tappytoon and regret it tbh. Had to come here to vent
I think you should check the comment above yours because it explains why she's acting like that, imo I agree with it since it is the true, if you think about it she hasn't had proper social life since she was young so when facing any conflicts like that she probs won't have a clue on what to do (=・ω・=)
Anybody else think the previous king was cursed and that's why he had his whole family annihilated for his mistress?
Tristan is CLEAR husband material for one reason imo. He immediately sensed the snake ass nature in the current king who I'm certain is pretending to be weak and helpless while happily letting his deranged ass mother be the villain on his behalf. The Queen Dowager did heavy lifting to make him king and relegate the legitimate heir to a cursed puppet. His sis con vibes are so damn obvious that the Queen dowager is trying to make him marry so he stops trying to fuck his sister. I wouldn't be surprised if we find out he was behind the curse so she wouldn't be able to say no once he finally tries to sleep with her.
Yess and im pretty sûre he is the master mind behind the sigma
I read a story that's tagged "strong female lead"
The story does NOT contain a strong female lead. Just a ditzy, weak idiot who didn't even consider that the princess of a beheaded queen would have been targeted for a curse on purpose. Also, literally everyone has informed her that the monastery is a fast track to assassination. She's afraid of assassination. So what does she do? Beg to go to the monastery lol so she can beg a pope who let other royals die on his watch. Didn't even consider escaping to the country where her brother is. Just groveling instead of fighting back. Waiting for a rescuer while refusing all suitable rescuers. A moron truly.
Got to chapter 9 and noped out. It's pretty much a rape fantasy story. If you want action and graphic rape scenes, then this is for you. Glad I didn't pay for this
its so mf gross. i dont have an issue with mentions of rape in stories, but there is literally no okay reason to make it smut. its disgusting and offensive to all victims
Yooooo Ginger is a fucking moron lol
Like I was taken aback by how dumb she was
So I'm the only person who thinks the plot pacing, dialogue and character motives are terrible? Great concept, garbage execution
Ur not the only one i also think its to fast, like in the beginning of the chapters FL find his father and suddenly she accepted it….?
You're not , the plot is so bad, the motive so bad , they not take action again tani something and they all interested on romance... suddenly he killed the king easily like the palace is his own home... What's about that curse they made ? What is about the fact that everyone knows that tani something is the bad guy but everyone just wait and let him do whatever he wants... what is about that northern powerful duke who aware that tani something is responsible of everything but not doing anything... seriously the plot is so bad... It's a great deception because it has potential
Thought so too. They rushed through a lot of stuff. Like sometimes it doesn't make sense. Good concept if they actually paced it well
Fuuuuk I should've paid attention to how many chapters available. I got sucked in immediately. I need more
me too fam. me too.
Me toooo mehnnn
So the female lead blurting stuff out and being weird af is for comedic effect? Pass
