I gotta argue with you on this one.
1. We've already seen that Nocton acted like a rightful jerk towards her from their childhood untill now so of course the FL is not exactly inclined to like him.
2. While i do agree that she is too trusting of Alice and the other dude you have to admit that they're at least honest with her. They always talk about how they're feeling and thinking about the situation while including the FL, so of course she trusts them more. Plus, i think she had a little bit of bias about Alice because she's the FL of the original novel.
3. So what if he drank holy water for her because in the end he is still not communicating with her at all. What's keeping him from telling her about his mother and all his story and why he acted like that towards her?? Its not like "he's not saying anything to her to protect her" is a valid point because if she knew that his mommy is evil she could at least protect herself.
So yeah, doesn't really feel like he has earned her trust at all.
For all she knows she could've been brainwashed by him because she had seen him do it before so its reasonable to assume that he could have done it to herself too.
Okay so the problem for you against him is what? He doesn’t talk to her be honest and communicate? Fucking hell, after all he been through and the fact that he had literally NO ONE, even his own family was against him, his mom poisoned him everyday, people didn’t like him since he was a kid, OF COURSE he doesn’t know how to communicate and talk about his problems and shi. Okay
1. He acted like that towards her because he thought she was under a spell and/or was using her so don’t put that on him. He doesn’t trust anyone. You really can’t say SHIT about how he treated her as kids and btw SHE WAS USING HIM AT THE BEGINNING TO NOT DIE SO SHE WASNT ANY BETTER THAN HIM.
2. Honest??? They are honest? Okay THE ONLY reason she trust them two is because one is the Female lead In the novel and I’m sure the other one is the male lead as well, and because she got “dreams about the future”
3. Fuck you mean “what if he drank water for her” HE HARMED HIMSELF, HOLY FUCKING WATER IS POISON TO HIM. So what he doesn’t communicate with her? He Atless kept his promise to her, he Atless not harming her on purpose, as far as we know he haven’t used her like her buddies are using her for their own greeds, he haven’t tried to brainwashed her, he haven’t lied to her and he also hurt himself to save her dumbass from failing off the balcony while she was wearing that stupid ass necklace and no one cared how he was feeling after the little save he had to do and was being eating from the inside out by the necklace
4. My point is that she is selfish. She don’t like him for the simple reason of that he was the villain in the novel. The others didn’t do shi but look pretty, complain, be a pussy and tell her meaningless visions.
5. Her dumbass can still think for herself and act for herself so she can’t be stupid enough to think she being brainwashed because if she was she would remember when and what she did like the rest of the people he brainwashed and was freed from it after. So you and her cannot put her selfishness, and stupidness acts on him.
People like you are selfish, y’all don’t look at the other peoples feelings, thoughts and reasons. You can’t just look at one mf and not the other, it’s disrespectful and just proves that you are someone whom don’t care why someone did something, they still wrong. The rest of us who don’t like her is for the simple reason of we read the whole thing, and know everything that happened to her but we also was able to see the others characters thoughts and pasts, and we know what she did, what Alice did, what whatever Prince Charming name is did, and what Nocton did and we all agree on that Whatever Fl name is, she is selfish, and is at fault too keyword TOO, and 60% of her decisions were DUMB and unnecessary. Because Atless Nocton is smart with his decisions.
Please don't get mad at me for my opinion but I don't like anyone so far. Duroa hasn't stopped for a moment to consider Nocton's side. She is jumping to conclusions. She knows the future isn't set in stone since she has seen it change from what it was in the novel she read in her past life so she just assumes he is still evil in this life again despite the changes she has made to the story. Alice keeps saying her dreams always come true but that isn't the case. She dreamt Nocton brainwashed the other dude into killing her and then himself at the tea party but that didn't happen. Meaning her dreams don't all come true. She shouldn't not be treating her dreams as set futures from whom she can obtain information from. Nocton has had sure a bad childhood that now he is closed off and doesn't know how to communicate with people or understand his own feelings. He isn't a villain. It's easy to fele sympathy for him, I had how he keeps getting treated as a bad person despite him trying not to be bad. But you also can't act like he is a perfect little angel who is getting hurt by his friend. Time after time he saw how certain situations caused a misunderstanding but he never once tried to explain to Duroa what was going on. IF just once he told her the situation. Like the time she made him the tea, he could have told her the cup was poisoned. Even now that they are grown up, he should tell her she is in danger because people who want to hurt him are using her to get to him. They are all causing misunderstandings by not communicating with each other. From my point of view, it isn't just Duroa, or Alice, or anyone else that is at fault. It is ALL of them. Every single one of them has caused problems because they refuse to sit down and talk shit out. For the time being, I am taking a break from this manga until more chapters are updated because I don't want to experience the slow process of Nocton getting hurt. It's too sad. I want to wait until the chapters where things are cleared up come out, and then I'll come back and read it all.

I have NEVER been more annoyed at a female lead decision more than everrr. I’m actually so tired of herrrrr. 1. she befriends someone for her own selfish desire to survive but hey I get it I would like to live too but Atless she grew to like him and actually wanted to be his friend fr. 2. The moment she finds out he is the villain of the novel “I can’t trust him” like girl if he wanted you dead you woulda been dead and miserable. 3. The moment he do something wrong JUST ONE THING “I better watch out around him, he is dangerous” 4. Her listening to Alice is soooo annoying, I cannot stand Alice as well, she is sooo annoyingggg, giving her that necklace for what? She making whatever the fl name is think that my boy nocton is dangerous when he haven’t even done anything to harm her yet. YET. Based on what? Some dreams about the future? Ugh because of that necklace Nocton now thinks that fl whatever her name is hates him and doesn’t feel safe around him. LIKE HE POISONED HIMSELF WITH HOLY WATER TO PROVE HER THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRINK LIKE WHAT. 5. She thinks Nocton brainwashed her? So she blaming her stupid decisions and selfish decisions on him? Girl get out, it’s all on you. He can’t even read her thoughts so how in the hell will he brainwash her? Common sense guys USE YALL HEADS YALL GOT ONE FOR A REASON. Y’all really put here saying “if someone brainwashed me I wouldn’t trust them either” the mother didn’t even know she was brainwashed or think for herself until another black wizard freed her from it so if female lead was brainwashed how would she think for herself, make decisions, not listen to what Nocton is saying and think she is being brainwashed? Like the only person who was still thinking for themself after being brainwashed was blondy (the one who he brainwashed ONLY to love him). It was only for her to love him nothing else. If only she could listen to what Nocton has to say and less to Alice maybe she will understand what’s going on a little better and wouldn’t be hurting Nocton more because for me I think she will pissed this dude off to the point he will really become a villain but that’s least likely to happen, she just needs to listen to him, understand him, try to help him, and that’s it. If he was to really do something then I would understand her but rn she makes 0, Zero, NADA, sense at all. She even blamed the masu or musa(i don’t know) on him like huh? What? Girl ugh
