Truthfully I hate the "woe is me neglected 2nd daughter" trope just because she's always paired with a "stoic and doesn't reveal everything on his mind duke" like your causes all this confusion because you don't think it's the right time to tell her your true feelings?! Even during the scene where they see the evil sister at the opera he says something along the lines of " I know there's confusion about who I wanted to marry between you and your sister, but you trust me right?" JUST SAY YOU WANTED TO MARRY HER SPECIFICALLY AND STOP BEING SO DAMN DUMB. GOD. Like your whole plan doesn't fall apart if you tell her you actually love her, ughhh such a frustrating read.
Why is the MC being so nice to her Ex-husbands wife? Like did she not contribute to your pain and suffering while with your ex? Did she not fuel your ex's god-complex that he wasn’t the problem and that you were because she got pregnant and you didn’t? She took your husband, made you have to go back to your shitty family and was the reason you were branded infertile !!
Idk maybe I'm petty but like, she devised a plan to get knocked up by a random guy, go to your husband who she was also fucking and claiming he's the dad, got you kicked out and married him, then went out and got pregnant again to secure her place but decided she couldn't take his shitty attitude and abuse so she left... what is in the water in this goddamn town???
Okay yeah I'm sure she has bigger problems right now but that scene angered me so much because girl, YOU ARE TO TRUSTING LIKE YOU JUST GOT SET-UP BY YOUR BITCH SISTER AND NOW YOUR TRUSTING THIS BITCH TOO???? STAND UP !!!!!!!
Because if wasn't for that woman she wouldn't have been able to get out of that marriage.
Because if wasn't for that woman she wouldn't have been able to get out of that marriage. If the mistress didn't get pregnant her husband wouldn't have divorced her.
Well to be honest even without the ex-husband's wife she still suffered as much(even more)....the guy never even took to consider the fact that he was the problem.....right after the wife got pregnant he divorced the MC.....and well her married life was shit too ....so it didn't matter where she was living(be it in her ex-husband's house or with her shitty family)....I would rather say that it was better for her that she could leave that husband.....if she didn't she would never have met the ML
So well from MC's what the wife did helped MC in the long run and besides I don't think showing hatred at that time would have even done anything.....the wife was pregnant and instead of leaving things in the bitter note(when you are going through problems) better to leave things in a sweet note
I looooove the new take that this series is going with! A divorce lawyer who also has clients that are the "MC" of their own stories and have to deal with the classic " I will divorce the Duke before my death flag rises/before the original heroine returns" is such a good theme and has so much ammo to work with~
The current client ticks all the boxes of modern women thrown into her fav romance novel and trying to survive as the villainous and it's interesting to see that character trope interact with actual level-headed characters, and how much that makes readers hate the current client more. From other comments I've read it seems like the client Estelle is annoying and to ditsy for the readers to like her compared to our established stoic and straightforward lawyer MC.
While if this was a typical isekai, we the readers would probably love that character trope and find the stoic divorce lawyer and silly duchess as a fun combo to play off of each other. But seeing things from another perspective, the duchess hurts more than she helps her lawyer try and grant her the wanted divorce. I can't help but think "wow this author really knows how to change the perspective on these beloved trope cheaters and make me root for the usually background character; the lawyer there to help with a divorce"
All in all this is a great perspective switch story and I wish I would follow more cliche trope in the future! "Cheating husband and sister/ killed me in a past life but loves me now/ Saint who awakens and isn't believed and Fiance is taken by the fake saint" just a few that came from the top of my head.
Happy reading! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
literally so refreshing as well compared to all other isekai’s with the long titles i can’t remember
Absolutely terrible plot, humans partners become the trend for the shifter nobility and ML werewolf decides to kidnap and rape a fallen human noble who was peacefully living his days in a small village. Then proceeds to kidnap him acknowledge to his shifter kingdom, show him off and then pay him like a well-used prostitute.
Like where does the emotions even fit in to this plot? There's no way love or forgiveness could even fit in the dialogue of what's happening. Not to mention it's only been 2 chapters and he's already rated him twice.
This is just a general review of this comic so far but I have to say it's actually good without giving me a brain strain. It's engaging, the MC is likable, there's no annoying clichés, the growth is nice, seeing the MC realize when he's been played and the power struggles keep me on my toes, and the art is good!
If you enjoy stocks and corporate talk then this is definitely for you~
Also the intense face moments are hilarious
I'm so sorry but I had to pause at chapter 23 just to come say I WANNA DICK DOWN THE ML SO BAD.
why is this man so babygirl??? I thought I'd never have to say this as a lesbian but I felt a lil tingle for this fictional man, I would go straight for him
Sir is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal and is ready at any moment to beg the FL to stay with him, damn I love him
Also damn FL I know your horny with a capital HO but the ML is a touch-starved blushing virgin, give that man some space to figure out his emotions! (I'm lying I would do the exact same if not worse if I was in her shoes)
All I know is ML would totally be my BIG TITTY GOTH GF if this was gender swapped (all caps for for my favorite himbo)
Okay I'm about to go binge the rest~ ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
You’re so real
bestie chill, here lemme close yo folds for you
Speak your truth bestie <3 I hear you
Why does everyone keep saying that they can't understand the plot and that the translations dogshit? It's literally fine to me and the plot is 100% understandable and easy to follow. Like there hasn't been a moment when I thought "damn wtf is this even trying to say" it's all coherent to me~
You da best mtl reader <3
Well for us, it's not 100% understandable. We may be able to follow on what's happening based on the actions and some "understandable" dialogues, but sometimes there are just some important information you can miss just because of a not that good translation. Not everyone is like you, not everyone can understand the story reading a not that good translation, some are bound to complain. Welp we're happy now that someone's uploading with a good translation, an official translation, at that. (▰˘◡˘▰)
Honestly my favorite internet past time is trying to give logic to bad fiction scenarios like their real hahaha.
In defense of the MC not knowing/realizing the rut symptoms:
People of the jury, remember back to when you were younger and in school. It was time for your badly underfunded public schools yearly "sex-ed" talk and your teachers leading everyone through it. Now there are some options schools can take, 1 is separating the the boys and girls and showing them health topics related to their genders. 2 showing a very outdated PSA about stds and hormones. And some others but for me personally, we got option 1, meaning as a young girl I never really knew/cared about the inner workings or the opposite sex.
I like to think that's what's going on here, MC relieved a public education where betas were taught to not care about how Alphas and Omegas hormones worked and vice-versa. Why would a uneducated man know all the workings of a women's menstrual cycle? Why would a beta know the signs of a rut and how to use a suppressor? Same logic as far as I'm concerned lol. Beta sees his alpha exfwb look loopy and out of it but can still respond = cold/flu, I'm sure if anything betas are taught that alphas go feral and maybe get aggressive during ruts so he could tell the difference.
TLDR: MC has a public school education and didn’t learn about alphas and omega hormones lmao
Thank you, my client is innocent :>
Also fuck the ML he's a rapist and can kiss my ass
From my experience with omegaverses they do have sex Ed classes. I don't think that betas are taught to be so self-centered and unawares. It's like taking a CPR course, they need to know the same thing everyone else is being taught, even if they're gender neutral. It's like you learn CPR so you can help someone. There are two scenarios, one is from a novel I've read called Ni Jiu/ or Intoxication. I never finished it but got thru the first part: a late stage bloomer who's lived his entire life as a beta suddenly manifested as an omega and was induced into heat by an asshole alpha date and knew nothing about it, and not understanding it because it was a late stage development. However, the explanation for his lack of understanding is, besides the late stage expression, he had "never paid much attention in class due to the fact he would never be affected by it", but then like, do you live in a bubble?? The world around you have alphas and omegas going into heat and ruts all of the time, so either he's so oblivious or so into self that he doesn't care, or the world that he's in has everyone regulate their heat and rut cycle so well they never break down in front of you. And they manage their pheromones so well nobody ever gets induced into going into heat....
Like does our MC live in a bubble?!? Or this world smis so void of examples from friends, coworkers, neighbor ls, family members that he is so clueless?!? I mean yes, as a beta, he wouldn't have been able to detect the intensely overpowering sex pheromones but there are other symptoms of second genders going into heat/rut. I mean they should have at least shown photos of ppl in heat or something
Lmao- what experience, pray tell, do you have with fictional subspecies of humans and their education systems? Did you passed the barriers of reality and took some classes there?
I'm gonna take this as a facetious comment because maybe you haven't read enough ABO but there are MANY stories where yes, they have sex Ed classes, just as we do. The example I just gave above, apparently you have not read, is one of them.
Or else you're misunderstanding my meaning that there are sex Ed clases for us about ABO, but no, the sex ed classes are about them and is for them as part of the setting in their universe.
And depends on the culture and family or friends or ppl you have interactions with you would know about it. Plenty of omegaverse have stories of pheromones going out of control and people going into heat all over the place on the news. Maybe this omegaverse is so....I don't know, "ordered" that these things don't happen or enough to expose people to it?!? Idk.
I have no idea where your head is at when you made this statement but in the novel/manhua Intoxicated the author explained in that way, that TingWei (the former beta) had been used to living as a beta his whole life and was a late stage manifestation so since he never differentiated he didn't pay attention to their sex ed class regarding second gender as it didn't apply to him. To me it was a weak argument because IRL unless you live in a bubble or the society has managed to dampen down omega and alpha rut and heat responses and pheromones so well regulated that they don't just spontaneously go into heat and cause havoc then sure...and there is also family members or friends, or the news, something that would educate you. Or they're so convinced of their status as betas they just like, oh I don't need to know about your condition....
It's not facetious, it's straight mocking. Because you make it sound like you know what fictional world is like, when there has been zero world building on that front in this particular title, and then you invoke other titles as if they had anything to do with this one. It's not interconnected marvel universe where you can interfere from title to title. You sound so out of touch and yet so self assured, it's really funny to read.
And you answered me 4 times? Why?
I don't know. It's been four weeks now since the story's development. We still don't know the world building. But whatever. My statement regarding his beta-ness remains true, particularly since nothing has been revealed. I was questioning why he was so clueless. I was giving examples of what know about other omegaverses, where an ABUNDANT of omegas and alphas going into heat in the streets is fairly common. I WASN'T SAYING THIS WAS ONE OF THEM?!? I SAID, FROM MY EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER OMEGAVERSES THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THEM. SO I WAS WONDERING WHY HE WAS SO CLUELESS. Anyways, it's been almost a month so your reply is late and I have no idea anymore. Furthermore, I probably wasn't finished with my thoughts, or if you had wanted, it could have been condensed into one long "essay"/rant instead of four chunks?!? Happy?!?
Also, you've blocked me but can still respond to me. Hilarious.
Why is the translation so bad and messy, I get running it through a translator if you can't read the language but it's Luke they didn't clean it and make it legible after :((( this is the first bad translation of a manga that I've not been able to just use context clues to figure out, hope the translator works hard in the future ╥﹏╥
