where Kaelus will work in Diana's favor to keep her standing as crown princess after the boat sinks? like ok we get it you don't love her now, it's just a calculated move (allegedly)... but saying her remaining as a crown princess is for the benefit of the empire is hella shortsighted and detrimental to the current political climate. it really frustrated me reading that part.
i wonder of they'll change anything and make this part of the story less annoying
From what I understand from the novel the reason kael taking side for diana to stay as s crown princess it's because he wanted to diana stop pestering hestia and he just wanted live in peace with hestia. Because it's more inconvenient on his part if he gonna let diana to step down and the emperor and the crown prince also ask him a favor.
is by nerfing her abilities and critical thinking/having her kidnapped/getting on a compromised vehicle/having something fall somewhere/literally any dangerous event so ML can swoop in and save FL'
i hope the suspension bridge effect wipes my readers memories of all the bs that happened so far because she HAS to love him now and reach an epiphany while in danger right? and i won't have to make a decent character development arc right???
...you're so right, omg, I never thought of how cliché it's become to use unnecessary danger to earn brownie points for the junk ML. "Oooh, he was a jerk, but he totally saved her later! That erases it, right?" TBF, in this one I feel like the FL doing something horrible was supposed to offset some of his behavior. I've settled on thinking about them as both moronic jerks who mostly deserve each other.
I think a lot of these novels are fantasies for people (like my dumbass self) who wish (or wished) their crummy partner would change into a loving partner who would even literally save their lives. In real life (and I would know) it's not satisfying, I still move on, but there's still this fantasy of "what if it was all misunderstandings and we could magically have a happy ending?" Again though... just a fantasy.
Just, damn, there's so many of us it's become a cliche market demand?! Lmaooo
imagine if she hooks up with the useless asshole 'grandchild' and burns all bridges with the MC only to have it revealed later on that MC is the real grandson. oh please please update soon i want to see a moment like that so bad
except i feel like author is setting up a sympathetic back story to justify her actions and solidify her as a love interest if ever she reluctantly helps MC so... meh.
i love how they're good friends first and foremost who take turns scamming each other and have a little competition going on everytime. way before any mutual feelings were explicitly hinted, we saw how they built up respect for each other and are will to learn from the other person.
their relationship never derails the main action plot, there's no sleazy fanservice, and whenever it's shown, it's actually adorable instead of distracting.
but for his technique in kidnapping. cringefail yandere moment but for real tho i was expecting the comments section to be littered with annoying virtue signaling again, like from the type who would pick up something with obsessive ex-husband in the title and then get mad there's an ex-husband being obsessive in the story.
i'm glad they kinda whittled down that crowd and we've got more hilarious comments from people who actually read and has fun with this genre
y'know...
I know.... th-those muscly arms...
leave me in a room with him and one of us will walk out pregnant, and it's not gonna be me
