Sure, the story has been going downhill
But it's so weird seeing this comment section become a dumpster of complaints lol
Yeah, we get it, all of us can see how this has been going for too long, the plot doesn't make sense, bla bla bla
I get being frustrated bc you haven't seen this in a while, you come back and see what it turned into
But there are people who literally comment the same thing every timw there's an update
You can just... Not read it?
It's not like the story is gonna suddenly become better, you KNOW it's gonna be bad
It's bizarre seeing basically the same comment being echoed in different words over and over again for months
There aren't even any funny comments about the story/characters anymore at this point
Do I love the story?
Of course not, it's a pile of shit where Lippe has become some deus ex machina like character
She solves everything with a smile, a song and by making Rias/her family do it for her
But I miss when people didn't take this so serious and had fun mocking it, while admiting we're all still reading bc we're at least entertained by the absurdity of it all
Anyways
In advance: I'll not respond to any hater

To be honest this is actually kinda realistic to me
He was never outright physically aggressive, a terrible gaslighter and emotionally manipulator?
100%
But I get why in her mind he's not a red flag enough to not accept a ride
I'm not saying she's right or that I agree
We just have to remember we as an audience have the privilege of being just spectators
Kinda like when you have a friend and she's in a toxic relationship
Maybe you can clearly see where it's all going just by what she tells you, but she can't and unless it's on her face, she'll probably not just listen to any advice
It's frustrating and you ultimately don't want to see anything bad happening (in real life or in this story)
But I think we've gotta let the author cook for a bit
The characters are having a development
The FL is slowly changing and she's been better at reinforcing boundaries, but you can't be prepared to protect a boundary you can't even imagine it's gonna be threatened
My guess some mild bad stuff has to happen for her to get her guards up
I wish she had more close friends who talked to her about red flag men

I love this kind of love
Instead of being all "I'd die for you", their love is based solely on "I'll love for you"
Sure, there's merit in the idea of sacrificing yourself for your loved one
But there's something extremely comforting to my soul watching these two nurture their relationship and simply enjoy each other's company until they can't anymore
If you stop to think about it, that's kind of what great marriages are in real life
Ideally we want to grow old together and one day one is going to leave first
And that's ok, that's not really a reason to give up love at all
Wasn't there a quote?
"It's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all"
A true bittersweet romance indeed
It's been so long that the author now has to sprinkle things in the story to "update" the world
Like the whole talk of flip phones and smartphones
It's kinda mind boggling when you realize that when this started smartphones were in their first stages
Same happens with detective Conan, I follow it for almost 30 years now and they went from beepers, boot phones, to old cell phones, flip ones and smarts in only 9 months! (The amount of time that passed in the serie lol)
That's hilarious
