WARNING UNPOPULAR RANT AHEAD: okay guys hear me out this series started off so strong but by GOD I am so over it at this point. It is painfully repetitive and character development is damn near stagnant. Strong female lead?? WHERE. im sorry ya'll you cannot call our MC a strong female lead, she's smart, yes, she's intuitive, yes, she's resourceful, yes, but her character is really quite weak. Even when her life is no longer in danger and the males around her have obviously developed to care deeply for her she continues to act so stupid and meak and dumb like even in Fresia's class continuing the dumb girl role simply to not attract attention. To me, a strong female MC would say fuck what people think I'm gunna be my best self and I'll deal with what comes to me. She feeds into the misogynistic bullshit she doesn't fight it AT ALL LITERALLY AT ALL. I get she's worried about survival but 3 volumes of the same damn behavior??? dear god i cant. And god they reuse the same jokes and gag scenarios over and over yall im so sorry but this aint it. It was it, but in my, and I can't stress this enough, PERSONAL OPINION, ain't it sis.
i wholeheartedly agree. it's a shame that such a good opportunity was wasted so many times for MC to grow as a character and expose her true colours but they were all wasted. i will be dropping the series.
But... if she acts like you want her to... could she not get crushed instead? If you go against a current, and you're not that strong a swimmer, you'll drown, right? She's not powerful enough to do as she pleases right now. It's building up to that... but she's still a kid. One thing I know, is that this heroine knows her strengths, her weaknesses, and all her limitations. I wish I was that self-aware!
I mean... If her only " revenge" is getting her brother on a roller coaster... Wow, thats not alot of power she has after like ....148 chapters. And she's dumb enough to be so trusting of chris. She is a character. Just not a strong one. She feeds into the whole Korean outlook that women are just focused on cute demure uncomplicated things like being cute and pretty and wait for the men to do things for them.
women treated as passive characters like the story doesnt trust that women can be "compelling" exciting characters without sucking up to a male character
The issue isnt that she is weak. A weak character can get strong if the story is written to let her become strong. The issue is that the story isnt giving her the right equipment and arcs to be strong. It always stalls her character development, and 140 chapters later she still falls as a flat character. women treated as passive characters like the story doesnt trust that women can be "compelling" exciting characters without sucking up to a male character. She's not treated as Sanghee the MC but a plus one to the male characters. The story could go in so many ways that could aid her to gain power, introduce more women or equality supporting characters to gain alliances and for her to improve etc. But nope. She's just stuck in her pity party alone. For a story about fighting sexism... only She and Freesia and her sister are the only notable women inside. And how many times does Freesia and her sister appear? Almost none.
Imagine if Game of thrones happened like that and the story kept making Daenerys going all cutesy and sucking up to the male characters.... Both started out disadvantaged and cornered but Daenerys becomes a mother of dragons and Sanghee is some weird useless abomination. There's a difference between femininity and being a weak doormat. You can still be feminine and still have a brain to outsmart enemies without needing to fight. those two arent mutually exclusive.
agree. wish the story was different
LOVE IS GREAT YALL OUR BOYS ARE FINALLY TOGETHER PRAISE THE LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOORRDDDDDDDDDDD
okay so i love the art and the story is interesting enough, but we gone need a whole lot of character development for our FL if this is going to be an enjoyable read. She's so repulsively dumb it makes liking her hard. As i read her dialogue i feel the last of my brain cells leaving me. Its not even funny, its painful. I love that she's OP and perverted aka not some lame ass vanilla bish, but why does it feel like its justifiable to say she was likely dropped on her head as a baby? God i hope this gets better.
But-but- I still think she's awesome.
