sorry last thing i’ll ever say but she’s got her atp in laws breathing down her neck making bets on whether she’ll be one of their corporate slaves by the end of this whole ordeal, a sad thousand year old tree who’s just a really lonely kid, and a pushy ass s/o who won’t leave her the fuck alone all i wish for fl is to be able to return to the south, maybe a found family trope with ygg and pipi, and the black haired ml to finally reclaim the land for his people + rid of the scrutiny that comes with having red eyes
the one thing i don’t like about the shadows (thus far) is them trying to harm ygg. he’s such a cutie i wanna give him a big hug but since nothing is really going the same way fl has described the plot previous to her being transmigrated (ml supposedly cold to her —> whipped for her, side girl who is supposedly trying to steal her “fiance” —> peer pressured to by father, all she wanted was to pursue an education [one of the saddest micro plots of this entire thing imo], supposedly emotionally distant father —> can’t look at his daughter without being reminded of his dead wife??) all plots lead to there being something entirely wrong with the story or at least the one that fl knows, i hope they don’t take the lazy “make it a whole thing were she was always loved by everyone, she just didn’t realize it” route because this is at its core a really phenomenally comedic, yet somewhat refreshing take of a used and abused cliche
No you’re absolutely right that the story would be 1000 times better if they went the, ‘all the ravens want is their home back, so they’re fighting (the wrong way, but only way they really have) to get it.
I with the FL would take notice if it and help, but we know where the stories gonna end up.
A basic, they stopped the bad guys and she escapes having to be a corporate slave / lady in waiting by marrying the two faced stalker fiancé.
yes!!
i am really rooting for the shadows the emperor + empress are really funny characters innately by their sheer insanity but as many people pointed out they just exploit their workers to hell, providing them unfair contracts, legally binding them or its off with you, your family, and their dogs pet turtle’s head #－.－) plus the fact that all the shadows wanna do is reclaim their land + get scrutinized / discriminated against due to their physical appearance + sheer association with the shadows based on said appearance is NOT looking good optics wise for the empire lololol blah blah blah the emp+empr defeated the old emperor…okay…apparently they’re still treating their workers like shit so what have they really accomplished ??
and also, as many people have said (again) the ml is kinda creepy sometimes? some of the moments are really cute (i.e. her lily dress, spending time with her, taking care of her,) but others it’s just really really controlling (deciding she doesn’t have a say in whether the engagement is annulled or not) and that time when her father is looking at ml and he essentially glares at the mention of their annulled engagement??? hello ??? all this to say something about him feels spiritually israeli and honestly, i don’t think there’s gonna be that nuanced “death to the empire” , “give back their land” , “workers unite under unfair conditions” , or fuck even just racism is bad guys let’s stop type of topics are ever going to be touched upon in this manhwa.
still, with that being said and set aside: i love the fl. she is just so done with the royal family its so good. plus, her brother is so utterly insane yet also living my dream? i’ve seen a lot of criticisms against the fl that i do agree with, but i support women’s rights and wrongs so
