to be fair, i will come to her defense about being weak and not being able to do anything. she was imprisoned in her own home at the age of fourteen and has since been isolated from society for seven years. during those seven years, she was completely cut off from everyone else. no parents, no servants, no one to rely on. the minute she finishes her seven year sentence, she is accused of being a witch and blamed for the deaths of people lost to the fog. additionally, her finances are struggling and she does not have enough to survive so she has to resort to marriage. it’s obvious she would be weak. she’s only 21. HOWEVER i don’t understand why she is so lenient towards the police officer phelin or whatever his name is.
he’s literally the brother of the man who killed her parents, used her family’s resources and title to solidify his position as duke, and abandoned her after getting what he wanted. i do believe she should hate him more since she keeps blabbering on about how much she hates the dieus family. well for someone who hates them, you sure are friendly with one. you mentioned you only got up to ch 26. good for you cus you would’ve been enraged by the most recent chapters. the two basically confess they’re lusting after each other and ALMOST sleep with each other before they get interrupted. truthfully speaking, i was bamboozled. i don’t understand how she can just suddenly lust after him. i don’t mind her being weak because she is quite literally powerless but i find it ridiculous that she’s lusting after him knowing he’s family with the man who fucking ruined her life ? what is the author even thinking…
I lowkey have to respond to your comment cause it was very articulate and I wanted to clarify, again I think my main thing was, why would I want to read a story where the mc is perceived as so weak and helpless AND treated like shit, not as in it didnt somewhat make sense to the previous explained plot. Like sure the author made it make sense as to why she has to rely on him, but the only reason it seemed is because the author just wanted the male lead to be the big strong bad ass who falls for her and saves the day and does most of the heavy lifting. I like revenge comics where the female lead does the majority of the work and there’s still good romance. My comment was meant to be me complaining about it not being the case. Sorry if it didn’t come off that way lmao, I was fucking enraged when I wrote it. Like I saw this whole thing as a potential to be like ‘The Crimson Lady’ or ‘Death is the Only Ending For the Villainess’
oh no i totally get your point. i don’t mind weak fls BUT it starts getting tasteless when it’s ALWAYS the ml who comes to her rescue. we get it. she’s super fucking weak uwu somebody help her and the male lead is this super strong mega ultra alpha guy who is her knight in shining armor. BORING. i get maybe once or twice but having him come to her rescue every time is repulsing to read. like if you’re gonna write a story about a weak fmc, why not write about her struggles and how she has to find a way to help HERSELF. she can’t do xyz? why not write about the trials she needs to take to be able to do it. why does it always need to be the ml who needs to come save her? the female lead is her own person, she can save herself. sometimes i just wish this fmc was actually a witch and someone evil. at least then she can curse everyone instead of being a damsel in distress and lusting after her enemy
A-fucking-men
I tried to give this a chance and could only get to chapter 26. Thought it’d be about how the FL is a super crazy bad ass and a psychopath after being alone for so long, instead she’s completely fucking helpless and it just makes you feel like shit witnessing it. Also how the plot is making it seem like she can only do anything/amount to anything with the help of the ‘ML’. Genuinely a waste of a cool idea. Also why did they make her so easily be chill with him??? Like out of no where she’s trusting him and friendly??? Makes no fucking sense why she isn’t absolutely hostile and hating his guts as he’s literally the younger sibling of the man who's ruined her whole life?? Like out of no where they’re close and friendly?????? Huh???
