I sort of stand w this statement. The only thing i don't like w the OG FL is the fact that she opened a new trading route w/o thinking abt consequences (honestly, shouldn't there be a revolution by now?) But honestly, the fact that the other guys pursuing her cut her off completely just because she didn't choose them is...anticlimactic. She shouldn't feel guilty just bc she choose someone amongst them and they shouldn't antagonize her just because of that. Tho i feel like misogyny also play the part?
Gooooood I wanna blame misogyny so bad, but tbh I know a few girls who would do the same(cut off a friend cuz they love them too much).
I completely agree with the trading company thing. Like come on dude. Your kingdom depends on this and you can’t even spend a fraction of a second to think of a countermeasure to your own actions. But wtv I’m just happy they showed a royal’s decision actually having consequences for once. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Honestly though i think its more cruel to act kind and befriend the person who used to pursue you, their reaction to distance themselves after not being chosen is perfectly normal, what do you think would happen if you dump someone you'll still dance and say kombaya together?
That’s the thing though, i never said that that the Male Leads leaving was wrong, i said it sucked. Because it does. It’s a shitty situation for everyone involved.
I have been rejected by a friend before, it’s no big deal. Yea it hurts in the beginning but you get over it. And I’ve rejected people too.
The feeling is universal, losing a friend sucks dude. It sucks bad. Especially when the cause is loving someone too much.
Again, Im not bashing the ML’s for leaving her, im lamenting her loss. It’s bad enough to lose one of your closest friends, but to lose all of them all at once?
I couldn’t begin to imagine the feeling….
Another reason why the other guys cut Betty off was due to being used. She literally used them for her benefit and discarded them when they were no longer needed. So, besides being rejected I understand why they built distance and put their guard up around her. She’s just not trustworthy as a friend.
She didn't 'befriend' them, she's a regressor she seduced them and choose the most 'powerful' which most FL's in regression novels do we just get to see the aftermath, I don't think they broke the friendship, i personally think its not respectful or decent to keep in contact with ppl you know have feelings for you so they were right in distancing themselves from ogFL but we're used to seeing the 2MLs pine forever and raise the FL and ML's kids and in this manhwa everyone get paired up even the 2ML.
I kinda feel for the novel’s FL(not the main character of the webtoon).
In order to take her life back she befriended a bunch of powerful people and they fell for her.
The moment she got married, all those “friends” left the second they realized they would never be loved romantically. I know she was painted as calculating and uncaring, but look at the way she gets excited when a seemingly trustworthy girl(our protagonist) calls her name in a friendly manner. Shes just another human trying to survive, it’s no one’s fault she married someone. Just like it’s not the male leads fault that they fell in love with her.
It just really really sucks when an important friend in your life tells you they “can’t be friends” because they “love you more than a friend”…. It’s a different kind of loneliness.
