what a fucking shame. i always welcome the harem route or the single male lead route but i hate when authors abuse the “every man is obsessed with the mc” trope. especially after she marries one guy but they make the other male leads “obsessed” or unable to move on. realistically speaking, after a few years, they would’ve moved on and found their own love. i need these authors to realize that their female main characters can be just as lovable and important and impactful WITHOUT making every man in love with her. it’s like these authors think every man loving her = most desirable woman on the planet. why would you make the other male leads suffer just so that your fmc can be viewed as desirable ?

SPOILER. BIG FUCKING SPOILER IF YOU DONT WANT TO FIND OUT THE TRASHY WAY THIS NOVEL ENDS FOR THE MALE LEADS OTHER THAN FERDINAND (WHO IS THE TRUE MALE LEAD BY THE END OF THE NOVEL)

Honestly...the ending for the other male leads was fucking trash. Literally all of them became obsessed with her and she chose Ferdinand, cool. Its fine, i loved him, liked him, cool, and also predictable. BUT LIKE...the ending for the other male leads were full on garbage. It ends with them being unable to move on, which WOULD'VE been fine if it was like that but like...the side stories FOCUSED ON HER REJECTING THEM TIME AND TIME AGAIN... Like she literally treats them like full trash.
The side story is where her mom was like " yo, your boy toys are going to kill each other for you when you marry Ferdinand, and like...I need you to reject them again and again until their obsession over with." Like she literally traps the young soul of Klaus and Benjamin into a game simulation where Tulia goes back into her 15 year old body just to make them unobssessed..... Like omg.
Like they do this for every other male lead OTHER THAN FUCKING FERDINAND WHO IS FUCKING DEAD IN THIS "GAME SIMULATION" Like she keeps on ignoring them and rejecting them and like they stil fucking like her. FUCKING MARY SUE I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD.
Like she slaps Benjamin and treats Klaus like full garbage... and for what???? its only plot device was to make readers angry i swear to god.
Like tell me why the AUTHOR DID THATTTTT. It's actually pissing me off, how the author just tries reiterating the fact that Tulia would never choose them by throwing in the side stories of Klaus literally dying for her, literally throwing her out of a fire just to keep her safe while letting himself be engulfed in flames and Benjamin becoming fully obsessed with her and at the end of the side stories "letting her go".
It's actuallly giving mary sue...like tell me why Benjamin makes Tulip the national flower of his kingdom after she fully chooses to marry Ferdinand...like omg.
I GET THE APPEAL OF FUCKING OBSESSED MALE LEADS BUT...OMG, THE WAY THE FEMALE LEAD TREATS THEM PISSES ME THE FUCK OFF.
This is giving like one of the OG Novels where a modern girl transmigrate into (after being hit by truck kun) and THEY WOULD BE INTO THE BODY of the Villainess or some shit like that. Like the treatment of the other two male leads fill me with pure rage, pure fucking rage and Ferdinand just gets a free pass because he's the one true ML.
Also no hate to people who like this, I LIKE it, i liked the story and I was going to read the novel but i was like..."yk is this a harem route or is there like 1 male lead?" So i went into the novel updates forum and to try and find out and i found out Ferdinand was the ML, i was like "Oh cool!" cus I was into the manhwa version of him so I thought I would do the same in the novel. But then i had the thought "Wait, what happened to the other MLs?" and so i looked into the spoilers...and omg, i immediately got fucking angry on how the author treated the other MLs.
I cannot, i literally cannot...when i tell you Klaus prays to God or whatever because he lost his one true mate--Tulia, and prayed that he would be able to meet her and love her in their next life...i was like...oh okay, ig this is fine... whatever. I felt kinda bad for him cus like he loved her and he cant move on.
Im pretty sure Benjamin is like still obssessed with her and stuff and does everything he can to try and make Tulia be reminded of him. BUT THIS ACTUALLY PISSED ME OFF ABOUT WHAT THE AUTHOR DID, TELL ME WHY ITS IMPLIED THAT HE WOULD GO SO FAR AS TO BECOME TULIA'S CONCUBINE IF THE EMPIRE ALLOWED IT????? Like that shit pissed me the fuck off. Like why the fuck are you degrading yourself for some fucking women????????? Like your literally the fucking king to your empire and you would throw it away to be some fucking concubine????
Safe to say I hate how the other male leads are treated in the novel.
Anyways thanks for my yap sesh, I thought i should write it here for other people curious about the ending of the other male leads (Benjamin and Klaus). Im really disappointed by how the author handled this and even the Female Lead, it pisses me off. But this is in no way trying to hate people who like this type of things, in fact if you like it go for it girl!! dont let a random girl on the internet stop you from enjoying what could be your favorite novel.
Anyways if you want more information pls go to the NovelUpdates forum for the novel to get more spoilers. AND BTW guys i havent read the novel, i just read spoilers on the end and so IF YOU GUYS READ THE NOVEL and if i said some things false tell me, ill be a big girl and admit it. But from the spoilers its just pissing me off and telling me a whole lot about this novel.
Im probably going to continue reading the manhwa...the art is sooo good and like... ugh i kinda like the story but the ending is shitty so im undecided.
