for anyone who feels bad for the prince and his friends read chapter 3 and 14. chapter 3 explains that while the poition can make affection for the person out of thin air it CAN'T brainwash people or make them lose their minds they willingly went along with the star maidens plans and quickly turned over to her side because they felt inferior to emi thats where chapter 14 comes in with the prince reflecting on all that happened and showing how delulu he really is because those are his real thoughts not the result of brainwashing sane for those other guys she helped them all and they fucked her over
nah the prince is js pathetic. It's a pretty common trope too where the prince has an inferiority complex and the isekai'd villainess who genuinely tries her best to not meet her bad end ends up somehow making it worse bc she's independent and/or even being the target of his complex??? And then bcs some random "saintess" or some shit shows up and acts all meek and dependent on him he's all like "omg she's the only one who blablabla" or some other pathetic garbage like that andddd she (the villainess who's honestly better than the other shit chars) still meets her bad end cuz of em so nah it was def bcs he's js SO FUCKING PATHETIC OMG HE the prince SUCKS
this new guy is worse atleast shirayuki helps him this new guy is too manipulative
i'd argue that they are both manipulative, but i haven't seen anything from the new guy yet except him trying to befriend mc for some ulterior motives we don't know yet. and i'm gonna be so honest, white hair guy is barely helping like i don't think mc would approve of people getting tortured like this - and it's not even like a satisfying torture tbh
well yeah he is helping but i meant in a way that isn't really idk right? i'm all for revenge stories but this one is kinda boring since he's like an all powerful god and the torture methods don't give me the satisfaction so maybe i'm biased. but i really feel like he is doing it for himself and not mc, and that in itself might just be manipulative and selfish.
i get what ur saying but i feel if this was soley about him doing it for himself why help his sister with something so mundane as studying just so the mc doesn't have to do it its even a one on one sesh he didn't rope mc into it to spend time eith him too but solely so that the mc doesn't have to fo through that trouble along with walking his sister home
i totally get ur point with the torture methods tho but i also think its done in such a cruel way on purpose so that not even the readers feel that satisfaction that one would feel in a revenge manga to show how merciless this guy is and inhumane and how he'll stop at nothing just to get what he wants and please the guy thats prob a god in his eyes
ohhh wait you read white hair very well, but i also feel like the satisfaction part is so important in revenge stories because i feel like that's what most people are looking for. like we are waiting for the part where we can finally feel relief after seeing everything that is done to mc, but you made a really good point
its not like she was raped by some dude like that is like their actual child and they just left them behind childbirth is really hard on a womans body ain'tno way she's traveling around like nothing happened right after also to me it doesn'tmake much sense why they didn'tjustkeep being the rulers through them they could've fixed alot of what they didn'tlike about the country sure his friends there but they could avoid a war like they wanted to easier . also the main character is so dumb and a pushover i dislike that and she apologizes too much over stuff that makes no sense to apologize like when she told him sorry for "taking advantage of his protection" whst other choice did she have but go along with what he himself wanted. overall stick to the porn im not against having a story but this could've been better as a 2 parter just didn't need all this lore of this war and country we never really got a reason to care about stopping.
it slipped my mind that the friend actually left.. this shit is ass lol
