OMG finally!
I remember someone fighting me saying the story is centered around navier so trasha always ends up miserable.
I was like, I'm sorry??
Are we talking about the same rastha? The one who harmed a innocent Bird to frame the empress? The one who killed a maid for no reason?
Like rastha supporters are weird
Yeah. I stopped arguing with them since they refused to hear reasons. They like the underdog trope of poor girl turn strong badass empress. Lots of people like evil-bully-tyrant protagonist. Plus they like Rashta's aesthetic and the romantized tragic writing and imaginary of a poor free spirited ignorant girl that got cornered. Which was Rashta forte and profits from it to attrac the emperor and the young male nobles. They only see the background and refused to acknowledge Rashta is sure a victim but she's no innocent person.
I rec not trying to argue with them (lots of their reasoning feels fanfic. Never happened so no point arguing over made up ) and won't listen. But comment even if ignored when they spat the nonsense of Rashta not doing anything wrong.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I WISH THIS COMMENT CAN BE PINNED! Everyone wants to be woke and is like "Trashta is a forced viilan" LIKE NO?? SHE IS A VILLAN
She has the option to turn away from that forced villain route but didn't. In recent chapter you can see it. Navier and her are both rulers now. Navier is not a threat to her. Rashta's the empress now, has the love of the commoners (bc they saw her as one of them and she donated lots of money for them or rather she took credit of Navier's donations), has status secured thanks to Gloriem being the crown princess. Navier is not a threat to her.
But still Rashta decided to humiliate Navier in her new court. Not to save herself, not because she's powerless... But bc of pure envy and content and delusion that she is now above Navier and is untouchable. There many horrible acts she deed in this manner. But you can see here how she's not cornered to harms others like before. This not for survival. Navier didn't antagonize here.
Just gonna add that Navier after the divorced is trying to cut ties and have nothing to do with Rashta. Rashta on the other hand, despite her secured status keep pestering and antagonize Navier who's miles away from her and the emperor.
A bit spoiler, but Rashta is obsessed with Navier in this regard and it is strongly implied in her last moments. Navier is what she wants to be not just in terms of character but also in possession. When Navier refused her friendship (for obvious reasons) that admiration turns to hate, envy and "I'm just gonna take everything you have".
Yes!!
They say navier is a racist because she's a slave,
The story forced her the evil role, rashta can't do anything about it, yada yada..
Like bffr rn
Rashta is bad. They can't accept it because of her slave background. Just because you were a slave doesn't mean you'll automatically be a nice person. What kinda poor logic is that.
The forced pity subplot for Rashta is very forced imo. Her fanclub online are also questionable. They're the type that loves evil people and general characters that are good looking. Y'know the type that love the "bully protagonist".
Personally I think Rashta is a victim of circumstances but also a Villanous person. I'd like to say she become like that bc of power got over her head but she had always had the mean stick when she first arrived and consciously created situation that harms others out of pure spite and amusement. Her becoming a Empress just gave her the okay to go all out and be a terrible and cruel person bc in her mind she was raised and surrounded by trash nobles. But she was given a chance to change too, at the same time there were nobles/maids that were kind and tried to genuinely help her but bc paranoia, "I'm above you" attitude she has, she never trusted them or view them as an ally. And they aren't at fault for that. She Considered everyone her enemies or soon to be enemies. Sad but that's a fault. She got many chances to turn around and rely on people that would look after her but she didn't. Emperor tried to help her out to get out of blackmailing but she refused to confide in him and wrapped it in the shadow allowing the damage and blackmailing to escalate. She thought highly that she could resolve this on her own. And this was before she went crazy! So yeah, I do not agree that she didn't deserve karma-bitch because of ignorance.
She was told numerous time that what she was doing was wrong and she knows that what the nobles did to her where simply horrible and unjust. She did several ill-intentioned things not for survival but for amusement and greed too so yeah she maybe a victim of some trash people but she was also a monster to some people. There's no in-between. Lots are hating of the Emperor bc he used her but tbh he did cover for her multiple times and had warned her that her deeds were evil and told her to stop but she ignored them.
So yeah, what she got is plain Karma. And not in superficial way but simply direct consequences. She was tricked to some of it but undeniable the most horrific and gorish acts she did was all her doing. She's a victim but not innocent. She was drove in a corner sure but along the way she had many ways out but she unfortunately ignored nv she didn't view them important and friendly enough to get her out. Like she didn't like and trust the Baron that was assigned to help her bc he reprimanded her for bad behavior all done to help her. She could have trusted the emperor since he had her back but she didn't. She should have trusted the maid that helped her escape but she instead stab the woman.
There are people that were on her side. Genuinely wanted to support her but when she treat them horribly it's natural they lost their trust and in worst cases they become her enemies. Unfortunately this is what happened to her.
Her death... I don't like chara dying but she unfortunately had no way out if she lives she won't have any way out she is too recognizable in lots of kingdoms. The scandal is too big. If she lived in prison that's worst. The woman is going crazy y'all. She heads delusion and later hallucinations. She's going crazy. I don't like suicides but I'm glad she was given the chance to chose between ""freedom" than rot in hell. Because her imprisonment with insanity as her only friend is basically hell on earth.
