okaay but the "overworked genius that nobody treats well finally gets discovered by someone with a good pair of eyes and a brain" is so overused especially the "I'm so used to overwork that i feel sooo guilty for not working" i get it but it's annoying
sihyeon being babied by the whole universe, sihyeon being the most baby of them all
always men and men centric women huh. that guy is annoying, doing wtv he wants with no consideration for the consequences.
"oh yeah, what if i became close with a count's daughter when i know that my marquis' daughter of a fiancee is a bitch that will bully her" and what if you used your brain a bit huh?
a spoiler for the next chapter but she was just a candidate fiance and ml already denied her so the girl ended up thinking fl and her sister were the reason the marriage fell through. but her behavior is still insane considering she didn't want the marriage either.
damn, it's just a girl being entitled
a "lovingly" negligent man and an obtuse "betrayed" woman, both as foolish and immature as the other. one never talks and the other assumes they know everything/the truth about the other's feeling. they'll keep misasing each other.
while I'd love for her to spread her wings, it would be ideal if she chose to do so after knowing the whole truth and not from a dream born of a series of misunderstanding. like we say in french, it should be "en toute connaissance de cause" (with the whole knowledge of the cause) and not from ignorance, bc that's truly frustrating. and let's not kid ourselves, while the ml is fully to blame, the fl is as awful a communicator as him, while shre did reach out throughout the years, she never showed any yearning for understanding, love or even simple friendship with the man she was supposed to spend the rest of her life with, just surface level word vomit about the weather or some shit. at least the ml put more thoughts in his reason to "ignore" her letters that she did writing them fu of empty curtesy
It’s an arranged marriage and they were strangers what do you expect her to send? Shakespearean love notes. She did her part in trying to build a connection. Letters, inviting him out, and just overall being a good sport to literal neglect. Three letters in a row just to receive one short response. I’d think he’s not interested either and it’s been years of this exact behavior. I think it’s a bit of a reach to say she’s at just as much fault as he is. You don’t need quotations around ignore. That’s what he did. Nervous or not. He put his overthinking over the feelings of the person literally waiting to hear from him multiple times. And even with that overthinking and leaving her hanging he said he just wrote a short response to all THREE of her letters. It’s unreasonable to tell someone to just believe his words when years of actual witnessed behavior shows he don’t give a fuck. Everyone around him sees it’s completely his fault and I’m sure that’s why the parents agreed to her studying abroad as well. I don’t feel bad seeing him suffer for a couple chapters knowing she’s been left feeling unwanted by her fiancé for years. When she feel like believing him that’s her agenda and I hope she explores these new doors that these “misunderstandings” have created.
I understand your reply but, when you almost never spend time with each other and when they do he only talk about another girl. That gets frustrating. He is not talking about his likes or interest. So how is she suppose to have a deeper conversation. Or when they go out, and they see little trinkets, the first thing he tell her is how the princess would like that. He didn't even have lunch with her and everyone was doing that with their fiance. Even the people in his group.
You can only deal with that that type of behavior for so long. It's get tiring. It's drains you. I feel the only reason he is doing anything now is because he is losing her. He had in the back of his mind that she will be okay of how she is treated because she will never leave him. Because this is an arranged marriage and it's not for love. Even if he tell her about what he did, it's still not going to make any difference.
"while the ml is fully to blame, the fl is as awful a communicator as him" where did i say she was at fault at all? i just said she was a bad communicator too, which she is and assumes she knows everything she has to know about his feelings. they only ever talked through letters and she meekly followed her duty as a silent doll observing the situation, it's fully his fault that she lost any trust in him, but let's not kid ourselves and think she's perfect and did anything meaningful to salvage the inevitable (business) relationship before giving up on him.
they are both overthinking fools, one at the detriment of the other and the other at their own detriment, that never had an honest talk about their relationship (be it true love or purely business) and were too into their own world to act.
my comment criticized mostly the fl bc everything has already been said about the ml in the story explicitely but the fl is being painted as a being with no responsibility in these events. it's not because i don't find the ml utterly reprehensible, foolish and cowardly at best. the reasonwhy i put "ignore" in quotation wasn't to diminish its impact but coming from his perceptive where he physcally ignored her, but kept it all his feelings and sentiments inside, just like she does. they're both incorrigible as teenagers are. and neither were truly sincere towards the other.!
knowledge is key to making an infromed decision. all the power to her, but blindly trusting her assumptions will not serve her well if she applies this mindset to other situations (which is bound to happen, bc fls must be at least a bit foolishly naive and pure right?)
the thing this perceptive ignores to mention is that she endured thinking it was the best thing to do, but by doing so she also neglected their relationship. in the years he acted like that, not once did she rebuke him for his foolish and hurtful behavior. she merely responded to his lack of response with a polite "you must be busy dw" and not a "i'd love to have a response no matter how trivial", she listened to him talking about another girl without telling him it's disrespectful either.
she disrespected herself in that silence, as well as their relationship. while the fault of the fall out is on him, she did nothing to set it right either, she let it come to a breaking point when there was so much that could've been said or done.
they are both so immersed into their own little bubble and perception of reality that they never truly took a step towards each other.
I disagree completely. She did her part and he didn't have the decency to respond appropriately. He is solely at fault.
the plot has no substance and i can say the same from every relationship, sex scene and individual character. it's the most stupidest way to write a "the power of the og plot drives us crazy" isekai story and it's so bad it's not even funny, they're all as dumb as the other and this story has no rhyme or reason, no logical thinking and not one person with even a quarter of a brain (even half a brain is too generous a phrasing). it's just an overused, regurgitated plotline used as a device for smut. it's almost a pwp if not for the faint, almost mist like semblance of a storyline.
if those are the people supposed to save the world, trying to do everything all by themselves with the faculties of a babbling toddler, then this world was doomed from the start even if the demon lord and the power of the plot didn't exist.
has the german saying says, bread can rot, what can this story even amount to
the tanaka-stuart family's got their priorities straight, food before everything else ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Cats and food, that’s what they all care about. Not money, wealth or titles, just their beloved cats and Japanese food.
the ml is kinda twisted, would he rather her being a bitch to everyone but him or what? the "cold to everyone but me" trope is just clnditional kindness and isn't actually cute, being kind to only your special one means you're not actually kind and wanting your special one to only be kind to you and being jealous of the recipients of their kindness also makes you a bad person. kindness is a human quality, not a romantic quality
SHE'S 15?! SHE DOESN'T LOOK A DAY OVEER 10 WTF ARE ARTISTS EATING THAT MAKES IT SEEM LIKE ANYONE WOULD LOOK LIKE THAT AT 15 EVEN IF THEY WERE MALNOURISHED
If she's 15, I'm 5. ☠
I think the reason she doesn't look like her age because of malnutrition
They starve her, abuse her so hard her growth got stunt. If you get what I mean.
malnutrition doesn't make you look 5 years younger than you are, it make you look like a tiny, skin and bones version of someone your age
itmakes you look like your dying, not a child. if you only make them look like a child and not like they're actually starving, that's just weird
Nope, I've seen one if not many, like height is much smaller than their age like really small so they look younger and they're thinner.
I'm also thought she's younger based on the cover but when I saw her situation I was like "make sense"
I'm sorry but if she has a plump face but look 5 years younger and it's chucked to malnutrition, it breaks the immersion. you look gaunt when you're not eating enough and she's clearly eating less than beggars and working enough to kill a horse. by her "magical burnc she's supposed to be close to death, but she doesn't look it at all
Welp, anime logic I guess
In reality, having a gaunt face is like really starving to death, malnourished however still have plump face but skinny and bone body. Why don't you search on the net so you can see it.
the way that disguating priest was reflected on vlad's sword when he demanded forgiveness was amazing
is there even a plot at all
