Can we please get ONE story where the MC does not have to settle for an obnoxious male second lead who is nowhere on her level? I love strong female leads but I’m getting so tired of the romance of these stories, they’re overdone and predictable, I just want to see a female MC rise in power without needing a boyfriend.
That aside she’s really pretty and I love her personality so far. The Art is also great. I’m looking forward to what’s next...
I wanted to read this considering everyone says it’s great but she’s literally raped by male lead on ch1
She was not raped, she consented, she asked and was determined to become his wife already knowing that was what was expected of her. Sure she may not have liked it, but it was a sacrifice she was clearly willing to make. Equally Eli had sex with her because that was the tradition of the time, and also to test her. Context here is important, at no point does Edna consider it rape (ergo she was consenting), and Eli apologised for being rough
She clearly didn't want to have sex with him, he RAPED her. She "accepted" because it was either to accept being his wife or death. We even see her in pain and crying during the act. You know that if it's under a threat it's still called forced, rigth ?
But you are rigth about one thing, the story and herself doesn't really consider it as rape and that is a HUGE problem. The story goes as if it's no big deal, ml says sorry once after menacing her with a sword and everything is fine. They even start to have romantic feelings between them and it shows because she likes having sex with him after that.
I am sorry, I am sure there are other things to enjoy in this story and am sure it become really interresting ... but that ruins it for me.
Chill the fuck out dude, it's set in a fictional medieval ages Europe, not 2019 tumblr. Shes not a dumb fuck, she knew what marriage meant and consented whether you like it or not, and whether it was what she truly wanted or not. sure she probably wanted to just have her own nice little life in the woods somewhere with no one bothering her, she couldve have put the blame on the counts family and escaped punishment, she's clever enough and has talked her why out of other situations, no one could punish an innocent maid who's being forced to substitute, but she decided to take the offer to try and better her life, she knew what she was getting into, she was a victim of circumstance not rape, she consented, doesn't matter if she enjoyed it or not, consent doesn't equal sexual satisfaction. just ask the thousands of prostitutes, I'm sure they don't want to sleep with creepy old dudes, and they don't have to, but they do to try better their lives
How does that change anything? Please don’t tell me the goal of this story is to pinpoint with accuracy history when the main girl has white and pink hair. She was raped and the author decided to make it a romance. Rape in medieval times and rape in modern times is... still rape. I’m not saying it’s not normal in those times, I’m saying that the male lead raping the protagonist, and her falling in love with him regardless, has become ridiculously common in webcomics story lines and I fear for all the young girls who are beginning to normalise it (see how popular this comic is?)
Your point is completely irrelevant once again. Never once did I say that it shouldn’t have happened. It happened all the time at this period. But that doesn’t mean she HAS to fall in love with her rapist, it’s gross...
Now the fact you call rape « tumblr »-ish shows how normalised this has become and proved my point. You’re completely ok with the main lead raping the protagonist and never, ever being called out on it ever? It’s just a normal stepping stone to romance? Honestly I’m getting sick of all these comics painting abusive relationships as romance. It’s not cute, stop it.
Also to the people seeing this isn’t rape WOW this id exactly what I’m talking about. These comics are messing up with your sense of reality. « You can choose whether you want to have sex with me, but if you won’t, I’ll make your life a living hell/kill you ». Blackmail rape is still a form of rape and is heavily punished by law. It’s much more common than you think and leads a lot of people to suicide sadly. The comic « loser » shows it quite accurately (a bit too much imo ;-;)She didn’t « consent », stop it.
I’m not saying once again that it shouldn’t happen and that the FBI should be at his door, since as you said this is « history ». But that doesn’t MAKE IT OK. Someone murdering innocent people might be more normal in the past - does NOT make it ok. Someone having slaves is also normal at the time - does not make it okay.
Didn’t say that’s makes it okay. But am saying that they did address the fact that the way he treated her was wrong. Moreover, I did a reread after I saw your comment and she told him that she will be his woman both in bed and as a wife, and then he slept whit her. The fact that he wasn’t gentle with her is something else.
It fucks me up that those stories that are directed to young girls like me have this crazy psychopathic toxic and abusive relationships portrayed as love. WTF. I hated Li Lei from the start he was the same as Peo, acting like she was a fucking toy for him to play with, she is fucking fifteen years old what a pedophile, I was disgusted, but you know I thought she’d be enlightened and find out she doesn’t need anyone to feel happy/successful and that she’d beat the whole game but NO, she dates the creepy pedo because he ~protects~ her THE EXACT SAME WAY PEI DID and in the end? He rapes her TWICE and they’re still together? Society has a huge fucking problem on what is a healthy relationship. For fucks sake rape and abuse and control isn’t cute. Yes, you can want a kind of domineering guy, but someone who starts acting like your life belongs to them is just toxic and shit like this happens... wtf. I’m disgusted. I’ll stop reading.
Almost all chinese romance novels and webcomics are like ghis... and if the girl is raped they see it as her fault... if she is abused by the male character it is somehow her fault... and she only get happines if she began to obey the man and make him fall in love with her even though he abused her!!!
I have seen several like this... one I abandoned because the guy raped the woman while she was drugged (his son drugged her and 9ut her in his father bed as a gift), she was mad but the guy said she has no reason to be mad, the kid didn't know what he was doing... I thoughr the kid put her in his father bed and the father decided to sleep in another room, but they show up proof he raped her and now her reputation was damaged except if she marries him...
And in these chinese novel men neber feel guilty of what they did to the woman, many times because they justify the rape and abuse as her fault!!!
And no matter how strong is the woman, they will began to depend of the male character in some point and become weak and in need to a.man help!!!
To be honest, the best romances with strong females in chinese novels I have seen are many times action novels for men... in some women are seen as equals to men, sadly also the worst situation female characters can be are in those same type of novels!!!
They teach girls that they can only have real happiness if they obey a man and all abuse they receive is their fault... that is why I stopped reading several chinese webtoons and novels, and the worse, some women comments that see in rape as something romantic and desired :(
Is it WebComics app? I was following several stories but had to stop reading them because it was abuse, rape, etc... and many romances stories have the same thing: the guy obligate the girl go out/marry him, there is another woman interested in him and think the main girl is guilty to take away her man, many bad things happen to the main girl and many times is the main guy who do the bad things, any error he and/or any enemy of the main character do they will say is the main girl.fault, and blablablabla!!!
There is a few that are really good and I still read them, no rape, funny story, strong girls, etc... there is always a moment they will depend of the main man, but the stories are good, sadly almost all Chinese romances uses the girl who sufer abuse/rape and realize she loves her abuser and the abuse stop when she began to obey the guy... and I cringe when the guy get mad if the main woman talk to any other man even if it is only to give an address!!!
Sadly I know very well this type of story, it is the same we see in the Telenovelas, specially those from Mexico!!!
And after the rape the man says it was her fault, I even saw one that the main male child drugged the girl because his buttler said those give hapiness and put the girl on her father bed... he raped her and after whem she wale up she was angry to both and the main male was angry because for hom they didn't do somethinf weong... according a friend... now in the story those two are married and in love after he forced her to marry him!!!
Really shit!!! That mangaka must have serious mental problems to not see problems and even write them happy ending! You can right about rape story but you HAVE TO explain readers how disgusting, insulting, violation this is! They must punish so seriously and they must suffer and be regret what they did. Lots of potential abuser/raper read that stories and encourage themselves!!
Yeah,i remember when I said it is unforgivable to ended up with that character i think. They are not regret usually and worst part like you said "readers" try to defend them ! Because it is "love"!! Guys have mental issues and must go mental hospital but it is normal because he blinded by love. Or he had seen tradegies when he was child. No matter how bad environment you grow up it is not excuse for your bad habits. And for that readers part they are seriously poisoning by that mangaka. They are losing their sense of humanity
Why do I feel like he’s gonna say no ╥﹏╥
He's curious about Ryuji since the man is the strongest in Japan. Soooooooo...yeah.
