DAMN it's just the first arc and we're dealing with a heavy topic like death already. Whewww.
I have a feeling I'm gonna bawl my eyes out as the story progresses. And I'm here for it.
As much as I enjoy Kirishima as a character... my god do I wish he doesn't end up with Yoshino.
He will
Sad reacts only
The whole point of this manga is to see how these two get together. Yoshino doesn’t end up with Kirishima, then this whole manga was a waste of time.
A cat can dream. *Shrug*
Y'all are so mean to Garret.
I'm low-key giving him the benefit of the doubt. That poor man has been brainwashed and mentally/emotionally abused by Arriane. I can't really blame him for being "spineless". He's somewhat a victim in this too. He literally was literally at death's door and extremely vulnerable for Ari to dig her nasty claws in him. For a whole ass month while Lua was in recovery/coma unable to defend herself.
I'm just glad he's slowly realizing that he fucked up big time. I hope he manages to escape. Unlike the other antagonist he's got his heart in the right place in terms of trying to be a knight commander thinking of the people (but we all know Ari keeps interrupting and gaslighting him to pay attention to her). I really hope he has a redemption arc. He's still an asshole fersure but yknow. Food for thought.
Honestly I get what you mean bc it really isn’t his fault but how can you be that stupid and not realize that your girlfriend is a freaking psycho. There were so many obvious signs like the time that she got mad at the maid and he was literally hiding behind some curtain or some thing, watching her show her true self. But I do hope he ends up apologizing to our girl and finds love.
but thats the thing with being gaslit by a extreme psycho narcissist like Arianne though. you dont know that you’re being being emotionally abused (in this case). the gaslighting process is lengthy, very subtle and gradual process, Lua had 3years (if im not mistaken) of exposure until The Betrayal and Garett, a very vulnerable person who literally almost died, was exposed to Arianne’s manipulation for a month. didnt help that he’s almost with her 24/7 because she’s requires his constant attention. even to the point of making him ignore his duties as a knight commander.
Garett is/was in love and awed by the idea of his kind selfless savior/saintess and so is very vulnerable to the manipulation. so he’s gonna make excuses for her to himself on her behavior because thats the fantasy that was fed to him by Arianne. and like to us readers who “sees all”, its pretty obvious just how evil she is and i do understand the frustration that he cant call BS on the first sign. its not like Lua or Prince Sven can spell it out for him. based on his reaction alone(when he pushed Lua in the beginning) he’s not gonna listen to any outside influences. its in his character arc/growth for him to realize the BS and break out of the abuse and hopefull assist the MCs in their quest for justice/revenge. *fingers crossed*
its lowkey giving, constantly giving unheard advice to your bestie who keeps going back to their asshole SO. but you cant do much cause they have to figure it out for themselves and all you can do is empathize and try not to have an aneurysm everytime they crawl back to crying. Smh
Sorry for the long ass repl!!!. But he's an interesting well-rounded character.
i cannot empathise with him and honestly just want him to vanish like another side character
What a load of BS indeed. JFC. The prince gives me such an ick
Everytime Kilean(ML) thought of Edith(FL) there's always a "focus" on her cleavage. "Ugh tits out??? So vulgar!!!" and yet all the clothes she was wearing aren't so bad. (Ok by like modern society standards)
Idk I just found it so funny. But also it really does point out the blatant mysoginistic tendecies he has and the original story.
Can't believe I made this woke. Smh. When I just found it stupid funny that he thinks her vulgar when he keeps looking at her toddies. Like sir you protest your attraction so much. I mean still bad mysoginy and all that but I'm giving him a lil pass cause he cute or whatevuh But he's also actively (& unconsciously) trying to break out of that cycle.
Hoping we get better translation in the future tho!! Love the story! And I haven't cried over a villainess isekai in a while.
Pffft ofc there's gonna be a car accident.Smh.
At least they didn't go for amnesia plot.
Really like the story so far!!!
It's like a coming of age story with friendship and healing of the inner child themes. It's a fresh take on the isekai/villainess story especially since it's a highschool setting. (Been reading a lot where the plot starts when the characters are in their mid 20s - early 30s)
NGL I just ship all 4 of them together with the two girls as the main couple WAHAHAH. Serena and Aerinda are just to sweet to each other.
The only con I have so far with the story is that the Reynolds (swordsmanship guy) and Serena have a little bit more character development and have a chance for their personality to shine a bit more through. Luke's character growth from an arrogant annoying kid with an ulterior motive to a caring loyal annoying kid was really sweet to see. Areinda healing her inner child, shitting on the crown prince and becoming fiercely loyal to her friends is so emotional to read.
So I'd like to see Serena take a more active(?).... Erm a little less passive and a little less free-therapist take to her story and growth. And god I hope Reynolds becomes more of a himbo. He has the foundations for it. Hahaha so far he has the personality of a dry cardboard and maybe make him and Luke have a closer bond similar to Aerinda and Serena... But like they share on Braincell. The author has already set up something there when they erased the Aerinda's memories everytime she realizes their feelings towards her.
Yep! It made me cry ngl. My abusive household and depression in the past made me not connect to anyone out of fear. But reading these types of webtoons make me cry because it seems I am missing out a lot.
Sorry about your abusive household! Hope you are staying safe and healing!!!
I totally understand where you're coming from!!! I sometimes have a hard time reading college based stories because i missed out on the full experience. (I only went for a year and it was not a fun time) and I think of the what ifs.
I like the occasional romances with red flags but like..... this was alarming to read. JFC. The art is pretty but whew I could not stomach any of the characters and twas just really hard to read through/root for them.
I found both the leads so frustrating.
1. ML just SA-ed and humiliated the FL daily because of his grudge towards the FL's twin sister. And I get the motivation, I love a good revenge story~. But I just couldn't get behind the act as revolting as . There are other ways to humiliate a person (ie. A very public trial that leads to an execution, especially since the twin is known for being a shitty ruler or just for her to be his personal maid and make her the most asinine tasks or do hard manual labor of repairing the castle. Idk. Did had to be the only plot point just because the genre s Josei smut
2. After all the SA, FL just forgives him because they had a history and he had become nicer to her. I totes get that she's under the curse or whatever. But Stockholm syndrome is soooo not it.
3. And she's just soooo naive and ignorant about her sister and the ML's situation, it gave me an aneurysm. All that reading and visits to the library but still lacks critical thinking. The mentality she had "he's in-love with his tormentor and only uses me as a substitute" gave me such an ick. I'm sorry but ma'am. Ma'am please. Stop projecting. Your man's clearly going through something traumatic JFC.
I have more to say about the story but NGL skimmed most of it because I kept losing braincells.
