LOFFE

YES

ONGGG THANK YOU! Like even then I didn’t really think he’d be fully “redeemed”.

You forget that the only way we had to protect Mabel from that stupid pope guy was to make it impossible for them to take her out of the kingdom. The only way to do that was to make her the ruler. He also let Oscar tell him his opinion on the decision. And Oscar didn't mind at all if it meant Mabel would be safe. Are the gifts too expensive? Yes. Is it because his wife is dead and the children are all that's left? Yes. Also younger children end up getting more attention from parents ALL THE TIME. It's completely normal. And remember that the dad sent Oscar to learn how to be ab emperor from Oscar's mom. She appears cold hearted and cruel but it was necessary so that Oscar would have the ruthlessness necessary for the job. The dad trusted her to take care of him. Tbh it's a completely typical father son interaction. IRL it's typically a best friend situation where dad has more say and the dad doesn't overreach into the son's life.

He said to Oscar that if he want to be emperor, he will find another way. That mean he knew there was another way to keep her.
What the point of asking a todler if he want to be emperor when he was not given the opportunity to voice his opinion in the first place when he started to learn how to be an emperor ?? He was a TODLER, making a decision that would change is whole future.
As an emperor, destroying national treasury to turn the into baby mobile and other stuff is plain irresponsible. Being a little crazy about his daughter is fun but that just stupidity and I tired of this ridiculous behavior. Every single reader here know there is a disproportionate favoritism that even a todler can grasp. Even being the youngest in my family, I never receive sush a favoritism. That a lie. Of course parents spend more time with a baby that an older child, but they usualy don't display such an outraging difference in fondness. Don't normalize it or take me for a fool.
He knew Oscar was getting the cold treatment and said he had not given Oscar enough attention.
And if sush a cold treatment is necessary to be ruler, why not give her the same treatment ? I know very well he will never.

A dad having a best friend relation with his son ? That's not what that story depicted. And you don't act like that with a 6 yo anyway. There is no overeach in making sure a TODLER is being cared for

Anyway it was told many time that the father was a dick since he was a teenager, to the point of being sent to the Battlefield as an only child, it was clear he wasn't meant to be a great father.

Well clearly you didn't read enough to be making such a grand conclusion, because he clearly does care about both his children. He gave the final choice to Oscar and asks whether he actually WANTS to be Emperor. And Oscar says no. And the reason the position was even offered up to Mabel in the first place was to stop her from being kidnapped by a neighboring country. Oscar understands this and also wants to protect Mabel, while also saying how he DOESNT want to be Emperor and is more suited to be a knight.

We are talking about a 6 yo child. If we don't make children vote, it's for a reason. The adults one sidely imposed this education on him and then weirdly listen to him, a CHILD, when they want to remove a birth right from him. My point is I don't feel that they were fair on him. It's my pov. I have other things to do than read a story that piss me off

Bruh. I can't with the tone deaf allegation because what you just yapped is objectively "tone deaf" too. Wanna ask, did the father's actions and choices made Oscar resent her younger sister, Mabel? If so, what made you verdict that its negligence in the father's side? You even forgot that Oscar has a mother while Mabel doesn't. Oh I think I know. It's called double standards. Right. Got it.

I can't even understand what you mean. If Oscar don't hate his sister, how does it it equal no negligence ?? WTF
And why having a mother or not change anything in the way the father treat them.
My critics was on father behavior, why are you acting like I insulted Mabel.
That what I mean by tone deaf. Did you truly read what I wrote ?

Would I comment if I didn't read it? First of all, if the father was really "negligent" towards Oscar, obviously Oscar would've resented Mabel in the first place. He would've resented her for taking the throne, and he would've got jealous already with the attention Mabel got. But lo and behold, we didn't see that. Instead, we see a loving elder brother towards his little sister. And how did that happen? Because the father has never been "negligent" at all. I don't know if you're an only child to think that way, but if not, it sucks being your sibling because you see the lack of attention as signs of negligence. If he were really negligent, then the artist shouldn't have drawn them having their father-son bond at all.
Second, Oscar has a mother which is still alive. Obviously the father would dote more on his daughter to fill in that "motherly warmth" since his daughter doesn't have one. Why are you only hating on the father when his son's mother is still alive and kicking? Is this what people call as toxic feminism or you're just brainrotted to realize that.
And lastly, it really is a bad take. Ever heard of Freudian complex? You're actually the one who is quick to judge it as negligence when in reality, their father-son relationship is quite commendable and ideal whatever era we are in.

Bruh, even the mention of Mabel being gifted extravagantly at some of her precious moments -especially on her birthdays- by the father is pretty out of topic. Like, it would really be something to yap over if the author even gave emphasis on Oscar's precious moments and birthdays too. But we don't. Now, this came out as some nonsensical yapping of some kid who thinks that everything "less" is judged as signs of negligence. Remember, may it be small or big, little or huge, as long as the person is moved by that action is what really matters. If only brain rot is curable atm because this is some trash take ngl
