Ruby is a bad FL

But it's pretty refreshing to have an FL like this, there's nothing wrong with being a damsel in distress! But if you prefer stronger and productive FL's I hear you

Have you had to deal with trauma? It always affects people differently.

I disagree but that’s fine. I hope your enjoying the story anyway or suffering if you like that I guess

Its ok to be a damsel in distress, but only for a period of time, not the whole story. Character need growth and development to be interesting and engaging. But Ruby stayed the same for more than 100 chapters already and its getting very obnoxious.

I have seen people with trauma and non of them is useless. They still go to work, take care of others, and carry on with their life. But i guess since this is just a comic, the author can just use trauma as an excuse to make a character not do anything but be a crying useless mess

You've gotta be trolling

She was literally SA’d by someone who is supposed to be her family. You can literally drop the comic if you don’t like the FL.

....do not ever say that to someone who has trauma, you clearly don't know the extensive effects it can have on someone. What your saying also invalids the ppl with trauma who is unable to even get out of bed because of what happened. Trauma is different for everyone, and it has different unique effects for a person. Please never generalise like that.

There is no point in arguing with someone like this. We all know this is about our girl healing from 2 lifetimes of abuse. This person doesn’t care. I say let them hate while we love.

No i dont. If you think Ruby is a good character please convince me

We're not arguing that she's a 'good' character, and also, being strong and having a character development arc etc relatively equal a 'good' character.

I fear media literacy has fallen deaf on your ears

Using traumatic experience as an excuse to make a useless character is poor writing, and yes I did drop the comic. But if you think ruby is a good character please open my mind

Why do you think anyone should waste their time trying to convince you? Your opinion doesn’t actually matter, you’ve done nothing but double down, and you obviously have some weird beef with the story so any type of back and forth with you is pointless.

Buddy, for one, not everything has to be a matter of "usefulness." You're allowed to be loved without having a clear use just like you're able to practice hobbies without the need to sell the products. And in this story, regardless of whether ruby is "useful" in scenarios means nothing on writing quality. It literally just means you don't like it. I'm sorry you can't distinguish the two, but I hope you figure that out when you grow up.

For two, ruby has been useful. As an obvious example, even when she ran off, while izek thought he was rescuing her, he wasn't. She was able to work with the woodland monsters and hang out all chill. And comparing to your "real life" example, she has been carrying on with her life??? Lit the baseline plot is her finding a way to survive? Like huh????? What are you wanting her to do? Clichely develop a technology from her old life into this one to make a bunch of money and gain love because she's sooooo useful? Like what lolol that's dumb ah

For three, this story ain't even able usefulness. It's lit a character driven story. There aren't many "tasks" that need someone to be "useful" on. It's lit about overcoming trauma while reflecting the extent it can have on this character in a variety of scenarios.

This character is written to have trauma that's supposed to be largely unimaginable. She was abused, neglected, had an ED, battered, assaulted in not one but TWO lives. When she thought she escaped one, she was met with another. People's psyches don't just easy peasy bounce back and it's wild to assume that of anyone regardless.


When it comes to the people you "know" with trauma, I truly truly hope you don't project that their value is in their usefulness to you.

Bby we’re arguing about fictional character not real life people. You said trauma is different for everyone yea? Then that mean the author can choose what kind of traumatic character to write, and they wrote the most uninteresting, boring kind. Instead of using trauma to develop more interesting aspect of Ruby, the author is using it as and excuse to make her just…not do anything. honestly this is not even about the character anymore, its the author’ poor writing lol

Basically, you don't have to like her. Not everyone likes character driven plots either.
We can have preferences, but try not to misrepresent your preference. And the usefulness thing is bonkers especially with regards to irl. I hope you have love for yourself even when you're not the most useful

You silence them. Sslay

she was abused in not one but two different life times, she has such sever ptsd that even turtles can trigger her ptsd. i feel like you have never met someone with mental health issues. because she is surviving and coping in the only way she knows how. honestly i think this is a really good and realistic example of this type of trauma and how to over come it (for her specifically) because she has never been able to trust anyone in her two lives and that is where (for her) the root of the issue is.

also if you want a fl who isn't a "damsel", which i would argue that she isn't a damsel bc damsels don't typically try to help at all, and ruby IS fighting (in the only way she knows how) by acting and taking precautionary measures to keep herself safe. but anyways if you don't want a "damsel" then don't read this and go read any of the plethora of stories where the fl is a bad ass. but just know that receiving help isn't a bad thing

It’s not refreshing, it’s actually overrated. But you're right! There’s nothing wrong with being a damsel in distress. Ruby is trying her best to pull it together.

And some if them those not make it works, like why you think someone want die? Suicide is thing and it happened,some of this poor soul not protect and lost their life. Maybe the next u meet probably have someone to help them, but ruby, she not trusting anyone bcs she afraid and the trauma did that to her. Some if trauma people took time to heal themselves and not just like fuck "i see people around me okay bla bla" remind: some people will take almost of the time of their life to move on. Idk about you, but i find ruby is okay. And one more thing if you don't like ruby being the fl, stop reading this and fine the strong FL to your liking. Drop this manhwa. Just saying y ╮(￣▽￣)╭
