Getting boring lol plot is going nowhere ++ it's time to put this on hold
Y tf does smth always happen to jin like ffr manipulated, killed, kidnapped, amnesia, i love him but hes lit a damsel(dame? Or wtv is the couter equivalent of damsel in males are called) in distress at this point
TW: RAPE FOR GOD'S SAKE---
he did say that he'd give everything he had... not that i'm defending the blondie or whatever but he did that to claim the throne to protect his first love's son.
Dude what if roles are were reversed u wouldn't think that
my reply was so short but did you not read the part where i mentioned that i wasn't defending blondie? i get that it's wrong and i just explained why that was their dynamic. never said he deserved it either. idk what's so hard for you to understand what i meant when the manhwa is literally all about trauma and abuse behind the romance façade.
Sorry but it came off to me that u were saying he deserved it since he got what he wanted (the throne) and that in the first place he said he'd give anything
Only read chapter 20 and alr knew ml doesn't deserve that ending lmao
Like yeah it was a good ass political move on our mcs side and like yeah, the ducal family needed that bc they need to be upped down a notch (esp the father lol) and ante has ?had? His moments (idk idr lol) but bro rly worked hard for that like he was bleeding rly bad in some of the fights he had
He still stole the MC's credit for slaying the dragon. He needs to experience some hardship
Wasn't his fault nor idea, it's the duke's lol
He still went along with it in the end. = Equally guilty.
Though I do feel a little bad for him when he was made to win by default.
"equally guilty" doesn't apply to this situation tho considering he had no choice, i dont like him much but he shouldn't be chained to smth that did out of his free will bc everyone knows damn well the duke's kids are being played like a puppet rn
He had a choice, tho? It’s not like his father would’ve killed him if he didn’t do it. He constantly was given choices and decided to treat his siblings like shit and live under his fathers thumb. He could choose to stand up for himself, which eventually I’m guessing he will which will even more show that he does have it. No one said the choice was easy, but it WAS A CHOICE. There’s plenty of people with obsessive-controlling parents and not all act like that. Is he a victim in this too? Sure. Is he without a fault? Absolutely not. Ante constantly enables and actively supports his fathers behavior. He is guilty, just not to the same degree.
As for puppets, aren’t most of these stories about how children are their parents puppets? Including MC, and they all show that there is a choice and a way out it, it’s just not easy. Also, what would the duke do if all of his children rebelled? He’s gonna kick all out? No successor? And how would that look to the nobility and his precious reputation? Not to mention Ante is also physically stronger than him. As much as he has a reason to be that way, reason is never a justification. They are victims (all siblings), yes, but I hate that whenever someone is in a difficult situation then people completely strap them of any accountability whatsoever. Even when it comes to the most heinous things (talking real like here, not Ante).
jesus christ here comes the birds of the pickme brigade, finally taking the cocks they've shoved down their throat out of their mouth so they can fulfill the one purpose they've believed they were made to serve for their entire life... defending mid ass to downright horrible men, real AND fake, from perceived and/or justified slights
HAHAHAHAH OHMYGHADDD
Been a while since i genuinely liked a shoujo historical manga w/ reincarnation lmao, i love the mc sm shes so endearing and their relationship is so healthy oml
The spoilers in q:
++ MC has been punished for "stealing" a ring from the princess (corporal punishment on arms and back),
++ was almost killed (and later abducted) for being witness of the second prince and ML dealing with pirates, even ended up in a naval fight with state of the art explosives.
++ was tortured by the empress on her legs and beyond (potentially dying as the torture was escalating) because the princess gave a different answer than the one they both agreed in the second trial, due to first prince provocation (nobody thought the princess could said that answer, EVERYBODY ASSUMED IT WAS MC PLAN)
++ And fell from a horse, barely surviving, due to first prince scheme while on the third trial, a hunting contest with no regulation or presence of the emperor. Nop. Just the 3 royal children potentially attempting on each other lives.
Now that I've read this it's actually pretty boring
Lmao i didn't realize ppl could see this
I'm going to skip some chapters.
Idk i actually like the romance here (or lack thereof LMAO) it's nice how the story healthily deviates from the romance and makes it a subgenre
