Beatrice

Ongoing | ma cherie,cierra | 2019 released

This has gone on for far too long.. I wasn't really crazy about it from the start but atleast I wasn't rolling my eyes the whole time. This could have been wrapped up in fifty chapters or less and it isn't even done although it spans for 110 chapters. There will be a season 4. I find everything ridiculous. The ML isn't a nice man which I don't mind because I've read worse but the fact that he is portrayed to be one in this story irks me. He killed a princess, killed innocents, turned a blind eye to his subordinates indecent behavior all this time but now he suddenly cares. When he thought to himself that he should've killed Leo, that made me once again roll my eyes, he only cares because it's Chloe. And why the fuck is this manhwa called 'Beatrice' when she identifies as Chloe and that's her og name. Now the problem I have with Chloe is her innocence, her kindness, her purity, her willingness to forgive anyone and everyone regardless of what they did to her. First of all, the way she acts.. It's like the author wanted to remind us she is a girl everytime she is on screen so we don't forget.. With the S line, her screaming 'Kyaaaa' whenever she's surprised, her aegyo...even though she is mistaken time and time again as a boy (her haircut and attire plays a part) but it was made worthy of note she doesn't care how others see her..basically like a tomboy. Her telling herself that Allen is a kind man.. Bitch u witnessed him kill the princess, threatened to kill you, the reason you're a slave and heard from the little girl that you serve that he hits women but because you saw him do the bare minimum he is a 'kind man'?!! The ML blames himself for Chloe's current situation as he should but then this pussy is like I'm satisfied with my life blah blah blah..then her heart pounds badum badum out of nowhere.. Probably because of his handsome face and incredible body (eyeroll). Then he becomes Shakespearean.. Talking on and on about how he doesn't want to love in a world without her and whenever she refuses, he gives these puppy eyes and basically love bombs her. This dude love bombed her so hard. This bitch has never been shown affection her whole life and the most 'wonderful' man loves her.. That alone is one thing but hey he is willing to abandon his whole life for you.. Surely you must love him back right!? And the thing I hate the most is that Chloe never acts out of her own agency.. She is being pulled by his current, she gives into him all the time..Also the motherfucking Duke is redeemed!! Whoa how did that happen? Did this dick repent? Uh no! He felt sorry but he still didn't tell Allen about his sister and mother. Knowing his son's wishes to not marry, he pushes it onto him regardless.. Making him go out in the battlefield at a young age.. Oh what else? He had to take time to think about if he should take in Chloe and an adopted child in the family registry. The only way he agreed was not because he became a better man Oh no! It was because she is technically royalty and since she is the only remaining royalty.. She is worthy of being a princess.. Yay.. Also the sister forgives him? What! Of course she did!! After hearing the saintly Chloe talk about forgiving her ex husband.. She forgives the father who abandoned her.. The very one who didn't want her cuz she was a girl and only cared for her brother. Another fun fact is she didn't even cross his mind once! He felt guilty but not enough to do anything about it and don't remind me of that half-assed apology with tears streaming down his face. Now back to Chloe... This bitch read the diary, so she knows what he did but says 'it's been twenty years, that's plenty of time for a person to change'.. Yes girly forgive him. It's not even her place to forgive that man.. Ugh also her holding Allen back from killing Leo? Even after that sexual harassment.. What a saint. The only good thing is the Sadist × masochist ship that sailed.
