she seems pretty normal to me. isn't the plot about someone being weak and becoming a strong person? why do people expect her to be some bad ass just because she has a special ability? i see a lot of comments complaining that she's only strengthening her ability for the emperor and not her happiness. newsflash: this takes place in historical japan AND she's a woman. every citizen is supposed to dedicate themselves to the country. there isn't such a thing as "live for yourself" in those days.
she's a pathetic creature. i think i would rank hate on her more than the actual villains in the story because she's a foolish bystander in her own life. while pursuing happiness, she causes harm onto the people she claims to love and doesn't put herself in their shoes. its the scenes where she's sitting with claude and "her sister" while knowing athy is hurting bc claude cant remember her that are the worst. she doesn't know how to read the atmosphere despite knowing the chaos in the palace.
in short: she's a person who hides in her kind persona and can't even realize she's causing others harm. and that is the kind of person that rouses the most hate.
if she had her own isekai novel, she would be the perfect protagonist because the life she's living is so pathetic and foolish.
Can’t you just simplify this and just say she’s dumb, stupid and naive? Especially the fact that she keeps trusting people she shouldn’t, for fuck’s sake..
the fl is stupid but the ppl around her... they're all just as bad, maybe even worse since they have common sense unlike the FL. like she doesn't get paid, the ML is essentially bullying her bc he has influence now, her brother doesn't care about her feelings as a woman, her BFF is so demeaning towards her body and conservative love life, her cheating ex... like it makes me pity the FL bc she's just dumb and a pushover. but the other people in her life are literally worse????

so the real Cosette died right? but does that mean kiera is not actually a daughter of the emperor?
She is the daughter. It's just a demon inside Cosette s body
So you mean the original Cosette is the grand duke's daughter but she died and possessed by a demon? How f up.
real Cosette was never born. she died in her mothers womb. but her mother and her mother's family made contract with demon. so the demon possessed the unborn Cosette and appeared in front of everyone.
maybe im confusing things but they said there's only one real daughter right? idk but does that mean kiera isn't the real daughter?
No, Kiera is indeed the real daughter. But I'm also confused, even though cosette was possessed by a demon, in blood they are related as a father and daughter. So scientifically, they are blood related.
Kiera is the real daughter. Her mother was the 2nd wife of the Duke. Cosette's mother was the 1st wife but Cosette was still born when she died.
so Cosette never existed. that makes Kiera the only and real daughter.
i get it. if my in laws were like this i would flip a table too.
i thought it was gonna be the same and oh boy..... i get that there are preferences and like i get on board the sweet home alabama train sometimes but like.... if you want to make an action manga with dark and hentai themes just make the protagonist completely dark and not wishy washy "im the hero" with a tragic backstory while letting him disregard his mom and the things his dad and maid did. it makes ppl think "so the protagonist is supposed to be a good guy?" and that just makes the atmosphere tank.
in comparison take redo the healer, it's hentai and isekai and action, and know that the protagonist is completely psycho for revenge and not the good guy. in my opinion, that's why a lot of people can handle other dark and hentai mangas but dislike this. it has a feeling of "im doing all these messed up actions, it's completely ok and not twisted" while other dark mangas that have messed up themes portray that their characters are bad people with bad morals.
does anybody have spoilers about that black-haired evil high priest?? they're getting on my nerves and i can't tell who's side they're on ugh either way the priest is evil in my eyes for their past actions on mc
in other mangas, people swerve on the sweet home alabama, in this one y'all want it so badly
honestly when it comes to having an integrated family with teenagers becoming step siblings and a Family - it's the parent's job to make sure the children foster a sibling relationship. you can't just show up and say "we're married so you guys are family now. act like it."
it seems kinds of backwards for children to give up on their relationship for the sake of their parent's happiness. it's a parent's duty to make sure your child is happy and the things you sacrifice are a part of the role when you decided to become a parent.
i don't know how i feel about the ending... it feels weird that she wasn't given a choice to confess
