I'm not quite buying this dramatic 180 heel turn of character development MC has within the span of like 2 chapters (why do they always rush everything with exposition like that? thats not how you get people to care) first of all; her cause of death in her past life clearly wasn't due to her greed, as we have been shown. lots of people throughout all lines of work follow pursuits for money, what makes her different? she died because her employer framed and killed her.
they want us to believe she used to be this "terrible" person, but they dont provide anything substantial to convince us she even was. besides saying she likes money over and over..
maybe if someone she cared about died by her own hands, and she had to live with this guilt of that, along with meeting the ml. I would believe her eventual desire to change. I get what the author was trying was going for with her character, it just landed flat I'm afraid. maybe they should have looked at a good characters that gets a redemption arc like jamie lannister from game of thrones. theres a perfect example of a character that starts as what seems to be an unsympathetic asshole, to misunderstood morally grey character later
you think if she was a walking genius stereotype, she would be more resistant to the idea of you know.. being WRONG about anything. just being killed wouldn't be enough, it would take time for her to actually come around to the idea of changing, I would have looked forward to that kind of slow process for the payoff in her development later.
it seems like they just want to rush into the romance.
Did you not get the impression that she was a terrible person when she didn't care about her friends dying? /gen
not really because its part of the territory of being a knight or sword for hire, but most people just focus on the cosmetics of it all (pretty swords, words and suits) they put their lives in danger actively all the time for the sake of their king. I'm sure hearing about a death of one isn't so uncommon in the field or on a mission either. the job is dangerous.
she wasn't wrong about him being totally unprepared for the situation.
I dont think thats enough to make her evil. no.
I really like this manhwa but I 100% understand and agree with your criticisms. Putting more depth into what her character was initially supposed to be like in the first place would add more to the story and more to the romance. Overall I think you bring up a lot of good points
I dont care what you do jaewoo, just MAKE UP YOUR MIND already and pick one, your older brother or ohn. indecision is just going to hurt everyone anyways. so be upfront at least about your intentions towards ohn.
looks like ohn didn't remember the mole on his cheek, like I already kind of expected, why does the author have to make him slow? >_>
ong
ohh shit its that green haired bitch again.. whats he schemingヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
I think it's a different person this time, cuz they sent away that green haired noble right?
Oh but i think it's that guy that recently appeared
while the dude still hasn't gotten rid of his 3rd wheeling ex yet. he's going after his brothers love interest at the same time, while he promised to "support" his brother love. this is what you call a "bitch move" in any book on TOP of all the lying about his identity. so I'm sticking with seowoo until I see jaewoo committing to ohn fully.
if they got together while jaewoo was still in contact with his ex. I'd feel sorry for ohn
Not his ex, just a guy that looks like him
mc cant do anything to refuse him either. the writing is stupid and I know they will throw in some tragic backstory to justify his abuse later >_> I'll move along now.
is the appeal supposed to come from him always being pressured into it?
I want to see some sexual agency on his part man, he's so weak.
even though people claim to want a plot about [twins] with equal about of focus, its obvious they just prefer the male twin. people hating on arien so much I'm starting to suspect some internalized misogyny going on. the author is the one writing, they will tell the story how they want to.
for those thinking Argen will "get his chance to shine" later, they already focused on his keen interest and superior connection to their guardian Jason, through his royal blood. Ariens hiebi heritage will be the focus in this coming arc and if you have an issue with her getting said attention. this story isn't for you.
go read a shounen or something.
Nah, you missed our point here
nah I nailed it perfectly. you "want him to get attention too"
well last I checked, in s1 we learned he:
has thicker royal blood & instincts then his sister/ therefore a better connection to their Guardian Jason & Noble family through it. was evidently shown many times to have stronger leadership qualities/desire to take up his rightful place as a [prince] then her
arien was lacking in all of these departments, which only alienated her.
now it will be about her heibi nature. seems fair ╮(￣▽￣)╭
also I'm tired of jaewoo infantiliazing ohn's naivety, through his ignorance of the situation. generally, no one expects others to go around swapping identities to lead people on into dating their brothers, do they? he comes off kind of patronizing.
she doesnt have time or the luxury to sit down and learn a new laugauge. cant you just Bibbidi! Bobbidi Boo! her some cultural linguistics? as if making her mute from trauma wasn't bad enough. people are loosing their patience with HER, when its very clearly not her fault and they wouldn't do any better with "vague hand sighs and charades" to communicate in her situation, but they do sure like to pretend its really that simple.
Yeah I'm hoping someone will just cast a spell on her for her to be able to understand lmao. Like who tf has time to just sit around to learn a new language that also it's a fantasy world so I feel like that's the best answer
