comments pissing me off so much istgg wasn't og eris also crying at some point??? she's "p...

Like wtf do u expect her to do slap the PRINCE in the face and be hanged fir treason

Right? It'd be her against the whole royal family, what could she possibly do, aside from crying? She doesn't even have anyone to talk to.

right?? and after living as a commoner she was probably so happy to receive a dress as a gift and wore it happily. only to see that its the same dress which was TAILORED FOR HIS FIANCE??

WHAT IS SHE, JUST AN OBJECT FOR HIM TO USE AGAINST ERIS TO GET HER JEALOUS ?? if he really loved her like he says he does, he would go after her. ugh im so mad at the prince and all the trash men around helena.

i dont see why people hate Helena. If she was the FL then everyone would cheer her and be mad at Eris even if the story wete to stay the same. Pls ppl get some braincells, both of them are trying their best to survive in this huge misunderstanding.

like i see so many people bashing helena for not standing up for eris but no one talks about how og eris locked her up for hours and even so helena didnt tell the prince about it ??

everyone is calling her a crybaby but isn’t this the first time we’ve seen her cry (⊙…⊙ )

true. Helena even asked Eris if they could be friends but new Eris refused so why should she stand up? Plus she cant really do that because of her status.

Id cry if i was humilated like that and im not a crybaby. People that are hating on Helena probably think they are cool and "loyal" to Eris if you get what i mean.

Even if she were to cry more often, I wouldn't call someone in Helenas situation a crybaby, no watter how often she cries. If she would cry all the time, even though she could just solve the situations then that'd be a crybaby. But she can't solve those situations without dying in the end, I'd say.

i agree. I see nothing bad in her crying because she was alone and wasn't looking to manipulate people those were her honest feelings. Also as you said in her situation its understandable that she will cry.

Tip for people who hate on Helena because Eris is FL: just bc someone is main character doesnt mean that they are always right and this is common thing in literature. Characters are people and they might misunderstand or lie to themselves and we see situation from their perspective but we shouldnt forget to look from our perspective and accept that our FL can be wrong.

Right and we all know, they are both human (even if fictional), so we should treat them both like that. It is exactly like you said, the main character is seen as special and everyone who seems to be disturbing their happiness is deemed as 'bad'. But it's not like the main character is always in the right because of that, or that the other characters are wrong. And even if one is the right, it's still normal to make mistakes.
It just seems that people like to vent all bad feelings on those fictional characters, which I can understand and relate to, but it just ends in reading some real hate and harsh comments everywhere.
