Dropping this one for good. I cannot stand any longer the hipocrisy of every single character. Also the misinformation of the text, I don't know if the fault is mistranslation or bad writing from the original. And now, even the chapters are messed up, with the images of scenes cut and pasted wrong.
FL stucking her nose in the parents relationship with Ruby, but barely cares about her own father.
Ruby only making her happy as long as is benefits him somehow, obeying her just out of fear or abandonment, not because he really agrees or even understands her.
Viscount restraining himself only to please his daughter, not because he sees the abuse as something wrong. Rose maid is more of the same.
Duke angry at father for running a therian slavery when he does the same with humans.
Duchess 'so in love' with her husband that never even tried to talk to him and find out if he really cheated. What trust is this in the person you love, not giving him even the benefit of doubt.
Both ducal parents immediately doting on FL while not giving a damn about her own child.
... and other etc. I simply can't deal with double standards, both in fiction and reality.
Bro, you said it perfectly. It was subconsciously bothering me as i was reading and you put it into words. Supposedly Ruby sees her father as a real person now, but she would never 1.) spend time with him 2.) try and convince him that it was wrong? And the father didn't realize that his daughter was twisted in the first place bc of his mistreatment of the animal-people? But now he wants to change and be a better person for his daughter bc she changed first?!
Also, the duke having human slaves is messed up after he threatened the Viscount for having Therianthrope slaves. Saying that it would lead to war. Well, wouldn't it be the same if the roles were reversed? like, he took Sienna from her home bc of that. And I like how Sienna doesn't even say anything about the double standard at all?!?!
It is messed up that the duchess believed her friend over her own husband. She never talked to her husband after believing that he had an affair? TF kind of writing is that?
Plus the scenes where Sienna is sitting between the Duke and Duchess laughing and looking like their daughter instead of paying attention to the son that they neglected really PMO.
One last thing that bothers me is when Sienna and Ruby went to buy clothes and she is acting so much like an adult. Like, is there not one good adult AT ALL in the whole series? All of them are brain dead. And not to mention that she was always Sienna, but suddenly has past life memories, but can't remember anything about being Sienna or how she acted. It's pretty confusing.
She communicates with her father all the time, so she does care for him, also the ML is still just a child, as he grows he will come to understand her better in my opinion. Also if you saw the spoilers on the comments you would understand why her father is like that, it's because of her mom. And the last point you said about the ML's parents, I do understand what you're saying but its very easy to be lost in your own thoughts and take your own conclusions and if their communication wasn't very good to begin with, it's very understandable that they didn't try to talk to each other and just their conclusions, loving each other a lot doesn't mean they have a good relationship or good communication. I do understand your points, but I think it's a bit too extreme
She's a child tho, why would he listen to what she explains? Also it's very easy for parents to not understand what their doing wrong until it just implodes and then they notice that something has gone very wrong in the childs behaviour, his problem in my opinion tho, is that he did anything she asked and at the same time showed her very bad behaviours so that combination turned her personality into trash xD
The duke's slaves thing I do agree, although I do understand that people in power sometimes don't notice how stupid they are to do the same things but criticize others and not themselves, this is why I really don't like the ML's father and mother, they are really weird, but I do think they are starting to learn?
Spoiler
From what I read in spoilers, she is actually that rare beast that can see the future, to be more acurate, her mother was that and she hated her family because they treated her as a very rare thing to have and not as a living being, so she ran away and when she met Siena's father, she told him how mich she hated any kind of beast people, so that's why he treated them so bad, doesn't mean he right, it just makes it understandable because he was lot in grief and just followed what his wife has told him. So Siena doesn't know what she is, so in her mid she probably just tried to justify why she knew things while she might have also known things from her past life (?) (I don't remember how the story started, not sure if she had memories from past life). I've seen this happen in other stories, the character doesn't understand why they know stuff and they just join two things and assume it was because they saw it in their past life. Anyway, I agree, the story has flaws, but I don't think it's that many flaws, I'm still a fan, but not sure for how long (?)
i agree that some parents are ignorant that their actions have consequences, but showing that kind of violence in front of a child is just crazy. I feel like it would be common sense to not do that? But maybe that's just me. And even if you're an adult, you should still listen to your children. If she had explained it properly that her opinion on the animals changed and she realized the behavior was bad sooner, I feel the count would stop since he spoils her.
I felt that them mentioning the bird was a sort of foreshadowing that would lead to it being revealed that the mc was actually the bird in question, so I'm not surprised there. And I went back and reread ch. 1. I guess she was transmigrated, not reincarnated, so that's why she doesn't have Sienna's OG memories.
I thought that she was Sienna the whole time and then she woke up and had her past life memories of the book.
There is a lot of hypocrisy in the manhua, but overall I like it. I'm just dropping for now and letting it marinate bc the chapters are all out of order and I can't be bothered to push on
The dad isn’t even her real dad though? She transmigrated not reincarnated so she is an adult that ended up in a story. Also it has shown that she’s started to care for her dad in some way, but you can tell she’s conflicted because of the his/ ALL the humans mistreatment to the beast-kin its the norm for both countries. Also the dukes treatment of slaves is different than the straight up abuse/torture from the human father they’re more like indentured servants, it was just his indifference to everything that lead to their mistreatment by staff members.
The duke, duchess, and Ruby’s relationship makes sense if you look at their lives. The duke and duchess technically married for love, but because of their personalities they’ve never outright expressed or confirmed their feelings. So it’s looked like a political marriage to everyone themselves included. The duchess’s friend was able to worm her way in for this very reason and also being that they’ve been long time friends since childhood and one of the only few the duchess trusted and confined in.
Ruby has been neglected and or abused his whole life so of course he’s going to be afraid that the one and only person that shown genuine affection for him would leave him. He’s just a child, time line wise not much time has passed since things have started to be set “straight” he’s gonna have some like PTSD and attachment issues. We’re gonna have to wait for time to progress or a time skip for it to start to walk away from/overcome the original “bad end” story. It all the issues stem from typical aristocratic society values (and their countries/races are at odds so that doesn’t help)
I've been liking this story since the beginning, I never minded waiting as long as it was worth. But from the last few chapters I can honestly say that I don't know what actually happened? O_O?
I mean, it's like some vital information got lost in the gaps or something. What was the priest supposed to be? How did Robellia defeated him, he melted just like that? What was that "mission" that Alexandros had? What god are they talking about? And about Robellia's other lives, were they real or not? Just so many unanswered quesions!
(Imma boy).
For real! It feels like someone cut up ten chapters and glued together a few of the torn up pieces. I mean, you can tell that something big was brewing at backstage since the very first moment the priest appeared, and now look at this... he ended up no better than a scarecrow blew up by a mere breeze -_-! So unsatisfying.
Robellia is more of the same. Even now I still don't understand how her lives played out and interconnected, what was real and what it wasn't.
And Aisha? She said that she was going to join with the priest but then did the opposite and ran away... what was her plan? Did she even have one, since we don't actually see her do anything? Because something feels weird, I got a hunch that Aisha indeed did something somewhere to help out, but it wasn't shown.
Sorry for confusing you for a sis! ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I am also interested in how exactly Robelia beat him? What was the emperor doing at the time? Swimming in goo? The duke and mage were also set up like having a huge role to play but ended up just stending outside that mess?
And of maybe of less importance but... the friendship between duke and Robelia started because she supported his son in orphanage because he couldn't even give the orphanage money too often and too openly. And he was so geateful to the point of commiting treason and helping her escape... But in the end he adopts him like it is no big deal!!!
Totally agree. I don't know how it was in the novel (I wish someone could tell us?), but more than likely is was better explained. Here in the art adaptation, however, who knows why the artist suddenly felt rushed, but they could have made it five or six chapters longer and explain everything properly. This is not the way to finish any manga.
Why the heck are the chapters chopped up in so many pieces? Some of them don't even feel in the correct order. Also, I came for the yandere, yet I see no yandering here aside the main plot murder. It's more like a badly written slow romance... -_-!
Dropping it at chapter 4.
