Only up to chapter 15 and I can already tell its another manhwa that’s going to put the blame on the other woman which is such a tiring trope like why do we focus on blaming the other woman who is usually a stranger then the man you have a connection to not just in manhwa’s but in real life the other person who you don’t know is less at fault then your partner who said they’ll be there for you when they broke the promise that stranger made no promise to you. Back to the story why does the Fl have zero friends outside the men why can’t she have girl best friends instead of the harem of men that were so in love with her they didn’t care she was engaged to another dude like can we please get a fl with a loyal friend group that aren’t her maids have no romantic interest in her and preferably a group of ladies. Cause the only thing I can see this Manhwa doing differently then the rest is if the Fl realizes she needs friends that aren’t in love with her and find her some real friends.
I like that she doesn’t have some sad backstory so far as to why she behaves like the way she does but I still want a motivation for her previous actions that doesn’t have to do with someone wronging her or revenge as that trope is overplayed the fl personality is non existent except her thinking she’s pretty and just does crime which just makes an a bitch and not that bitch for example Boa Hancock from one piece a person who is so beautiful that she doesn’t care what crime she commits she will always be forgiven with her that gimmick is taken to the extreme and played off as a joke how she acts doesn’t make her a bitch but The Bitch. With the FL we don’t get that which is fine because if the story goes with a redemption route with her learning that she messed up and now wants to right her wrongs instead of her continuing to be a bad person with the “Wo’ is me someone who I’ve manipulated, gaslit, and treated like shit to get what I want took vengeance on me and now I have to deal with the consequences of my actions so now I must truly go and get back at them even though I kind of deserved it”. Which from the look at ch 8 makes me think it might go that route as the crown prince’s knight literally saw her and did nothing when she is a literal criminal so the story might go the basic route instead of her making amends with her crimes and the people she’s hurt which infuriates because as soon as we see a woman character that opposes her and or steals her man the whole fan base is going to want her head on a stick when she’s lesser evil then the actual fl and also with these manhwas
Of topic why are almost none of the fl have friends that are women that’s they didn’t approach to use/manipulate or are reoccurring characters that always there to be central to the plot and maids don’t count they have to be the same social status because ofc the person you’re paying is going to treat you well its there job and then she has 50 dudes around her saying they besties it’s giving Pick Me behavior
In summary this Fl better have a redemption arc where she realizes she was a piece of shit regardless if she had a sad backstory or not and blame it on someone else and face the consequence of her actions and no being a doll does not make her absolved of her crimes
Honestly the Fl (Damia) is annoying Her friend Eileen is in trouble and she is doing nothing to help her besides listening to her I get that she has an inferiority complex in their past lives do to being compared to her but that’s not Eileen’s fault and instead of talking to her she just leaves not to mention Eileen also has an inferiority complex with Damia do to her parents always saying she should be smarter but Eileen didn’t drop her unlike Damia and once they’re reincarnated and Damia is made aware of the bad situation Eileen is in she just says anyways I’m gonna get a job in the capital and leaves again if Eileen turns out to be the villain I’m going to be rooting for her
