That's it, I'm annoyed. The sister is right, why is she out her marrying a guy with the attitude of a victim? Doesn't she have like 3 days (or whatever weeks, idc I'm exaggerating) left to live??? She gonna spend that time being like, 'oh no, the loml is a killer~ I want him to have morals~ Oh no, my father wants me to marry this duke, but I dont love him~ Oh no, whatever shall I do~'
Ik I shouldn't victim blame, but it just gets to a point, yanno? Tell that bitch-ass duke ur leaving (say you'd kill urself if he doesn't let u), ml is obviously capable to escaping by himself, he likely wouldn't have gotten caught if he didn't show uo literally at the fucking wedding, where there obvs be a shit ton more security. Like, I just feel like ther are options and Satako is too short sighted to see for some reason. Did she forget she has a terminal illness of some sort? That she gonna drop dead so she doesnt have time to waste on pointless shit like this?
aoki is stronger than me, I would've folded for ichigo long ago
Malcolm out here working his ass off to make sure they end up happy together, every manhwa need a malcolm
bruh the most delusional ppl excuse the most batshit crazy thing by using religion, this arc hits too close for comfort
This is insane, dude should just step away bc nanjo is clearly gonna break up with that twink soon enough
This is so brain dead, I really tried to stick thru it but just couldn't. If some dickhead was my fucking employee and touched me wrong, they'd be gone with a lawsuit on em. Even if lil guy can't do all that, the seme is stupid for expecting any form of respect from a kid he literally beat on their first meeting. Everything is non-consensual, when r authors gonna realise consent is sexy?
those are not for nipple piercings and its so gross they used the jewellery to pierce with
This is insane, everyone is cool and so hot and even the female characters are fleshed out as ppl rather than just there to be hot and saved by the mc. I find it hysterical that the mc basically has 4 husbands at his beck and call
I need yigon to dump this cunt's ass the moment his brother is sent to prison/killed off bc I cannot handle his bullshit anymore
idk I think my favourite trope might be when they make each other better
Read a spoiler for why they treat the mc like that, and its such a fackass reason. Like bsffr there had to have been a better option, tho ofc being 'brainwashed' is common and is likely the way the author is gonna whitewash this stupid family
Honestly, really not fond of the art, but that's not what stopped me from reading this one any further than chapter 22. I just can't seem to understand why she didn't just kill the girl (the og female lead) in her cradle when she had the chance - if she was dead, she wouldn't be a problem. She was quite literally, not an issue at all, since she was some poor ass orphan child; sic the mercenary on her to remove the fear of death via execution.
Ig revenge so much more important? Then adopt and actually torture the girl in a never to be found dungeon. You're rich and influential and you couldn't even do that? Pathetic.
Romance with the ml just felt like a super cliche worse version of 'I Tamed My Ex-Husband's Mad Dog'. The entire plot of it actually feels like a shittier version of that manhwa - the whole getting revenge and then making the kid u took in the emperor and then becoming his empress by accident? The exact same, expect here, girlie-pop could literally crush the enemy but she doesn't for fuck's sake. So the kiddo can manipulate ppl around her, u got it ALL and u can't take that girl down when she's in a family with less influence than u???? Like, ruin the girl and then blame it on that trashy guy that's sponsoring her and then buy off all the mages with the promises of giving them a better life (which u are trying to fulfil anyways, but they don't know that, do they) so they don't show a projection of what really happened. It's that fucking obvious.
Don't make a setting of a character super rich, super powerful and intelligent if they can't make choices like that. Yeah it evil, but she wants revenge and executing after all that nonsense of taking the empire first sounds like such a pain and honestly, long winded. Istfg, if any of y'all end up in the same situation as this mc, don't do what she's doing, be evil like how I'm suggesting - it's way faster.
Also, a bit weird how ml is so so much younger than her (title for this should be 'raising my future husband' like a previous commentor said)
I shall conclude, be a Roxanna (from 'The Way to Protect the Female Lead's Older Brother'), not whatever-this-person's-name-is. Roxanna's plan took a while to work bc her enemy actually had power, that bitch didn't so why the struggle, yanno?
Reading the comment below, I thought, 'how bad can it be?' Well, yh, thats literally a child. Idc how old the aurthor claims she is, women's faces do not look like 5yos like this mc's does. Its frankly a bit gross
So guy falls in love and his one tru love is sent to war bc of him - to keep her safe he gets into a 6 yr long relationship??? Breaks that relationship by suddenly showing up to a tea party with a another girl (!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!), realises 'oh no, I love that girl(mc)' and regrets. Meanwhile, war girl comes back to see her one tru love whom she spent yrs at war for fell for someone else. Like does this guy not realise there were much easier ways of showing ur not that into someone in order to protect em? Like starting untrue rumours or sleeping around, pretending to be gay etc. just secretly buy a ton of news agencies, did bro forgot he has money? Did he forget he doesn't have to get with a noble, he can be with commoners and heavily pay em for pretending he's a dickhead playboy. Like I just feel like there were OPTIONS.
And this fl, what the hell. Why would u decide the best thing u can do is seduce the 'male lead'? When the king or whatever started threatening her she should have been all like 'well you know how things will go so u can stop it' or 'willing to help however I can' etc. NOT something so goddamn wishy washy as 'uhhhhhh ig ill make sure the ml and fl dont get together'.
Ngl I don't understand the King either bc ur telling me u kno the plot, u kno that ur brother is gonna overthrow u with the help of the fl, but ur plan is let this one unreliable girl (whos apparently meant to be powerful or whatever, but have yet to see any of that so far) make him fall in love with her in the hopes she'd be like a collar for ur brother????? World's stupidest plan I have ever heard. Like bsffr that is what the plan is to make sure he doesn't over throw u? And if her make him love her plot fails, the backup plan is assassinate the fl? Why go thru all this trouble, just kill the women or ur brother and be done with this nonsense - he's literally the KING, why can't he just kill someone and cover it up.
Regardless of how stupid everyone is, I think the King is a better ml than the og ml
