I don't see how it's flipflopping? Rereading or skimming back again might help you refresh your memory, but they never changed his personality. Cesar is abusive asf to Ruby, but plays the role of a perfect brother (he's obsessed with her, but views her more as a toy rather than a person). She said before that he's sweet until you displease him then he turns extremely violent, which is why she tries her best to accommodate to him and act like a happy family. No one from Romanha knows about the abuse that Ruby's family put her through.
The author also has been sticking to the original storyline of the novel. There is a lot of backstory and plot added in which gives the story more depth, but it's far from messy. Updates are just spaced out which makes it harder to remember every detail, which is why I reread it every oh so often. I also don't see it as being unrealistic or unreasonable for her to overcome the challenges since she's constantly getting better and building connections. She also has the advantage of knowing the future. If she saves Ellen then that would be the biggest hurdle. She already has the support of the Duke, the empress, her husband, and all the knights, with her connections growing more and more each day. Only thing that wasn't explained by the OG novel plot was related to the monsters liking Ruby, but that's probably because Ruby is a saintess or something (my personal theory) which will most likely tie into the story later.
Yeah, maybe reading back may refresh my memory. I know that he was always like the worst. And abusive but in the recent chapters with the flash the flashback and how they're acting at the party is confusing me because at first she was scared and she had to put up a front. But now it looks like she's actually enjoying herself hanging out with her brother.
I will say based on how the series has been being uploaded has tainted my opinion a bit because the story feels off because the uploading is kind of off
And I know it's good that she's building connections and you know kind of saving herself from the story and making friends and getting a mentally stronger. But what I meant by unrealistic usually what happens in stories like these where the FL has just been getting beat up on and she is on the brink of death. Every chapter towards the series ending. It's like the stuff never happened and automatically her mental strength and physical strength is OP
What I would hope is that they don't fast track her strength and her toughness because then it would be unrealistic and Not satisfying. Because not every story needs a happy ending
Strongly agree! I prefer unhappy endings actually, so I wouldn't be disappointed if it didn't end well. If you look at Ruby's eyes in the recent updates they look more empty like she's dissociating for the most part when talking with her brother or at least that's how I viewed it. I think Ruby is healing slowly, but because of how good she is at keeping up a facade, it might seem more glossed over
They gave her so much lore the FL but usually with the amount of lore the FL would usually quit bringing up that she's living in a book.
I thought the brother hated her but it said that he loved her which is kind of frustrating like okay cool. Love your family but why paint him in such a weird light? I get to find new what was happening next. I wouldn't need to read the comic but it's infuriating with the flip-flopping of character personality
And to go back on her the FL lore they've given her too much back story to the point where they're forgetting stuff they already wrote. There's no drawbacks to that and now they're just adding even more stuff. I'm starting to wonder if this is one of those comics that don't have a happy ending, which I'm okay with, but it wouldn't make sense for her to have a happy or positive ending or satisfying for that matter with the amount of problems they've given her and how much hate is towards her. I feel like it'd be ridiculous and unrealistic for her to defeat all these odds
