I can't read this anymore. The story doesn't seem to be fully acknowledging the depth of ML's neglect of his wife. She's literally being abused and he's just a little annoyed at her abusers, and equally annoyed with her because she understandably misinterpreted his neglect as a lack of care for her. He keeps getting annoyed that she misunderstands him, but he makes no effort to clarify his feelings or communicate like a damn adult. Literally all it would take is a tiny bit of effort to communicate and their problems would be resolved, and I have to put the brunt of that responsibility on the ML because the FL is BEING ABUSED AND GASLIGHTED. I read some spoilers and it seems to me the story tries to draw an equivalence between ML and FL, and I'm sorry, but no. Not sticking around for that. This is too frustrating and deeply unsatisfying/unsettling for me to put up with. Dropping this.
He avoided her for 3 years (he said this himself in his head) and then is surprised that she thinks he hates her.
The reason I'm liking it is because, realistically, they have no problems besides that he feels inferior to her, which we've seen they can get over with communication (though that's a slow burn so far). They can be happy with communication and by removing the external factors (parents) that are going out of their way to harm his wife.
ML is an asshole. I'm getting really impatient for him to find out the truth and beg for her forgiveness on his knees. Nothing else will satisfy me. He needs to own up to how he's ignored her and enabled the abuse she's been suffering.
Fr, he's rlly getting on my nerves, and he had better make his and her family pay for what they did to her too
This manhwa and its art and character designs have got y'all dying of thirst, and y'know what I can't even blame you, like damn, I'm with you
Okay seriously did the other chick just warn her not to "push the prince" into being so sexually frustrated that he rapes her? Wtf? "Don't tell him he can't flirt with you or he might rape you." And FL just thinks, "Yeah men rape sometimes, I better not push him to that point." WTF? This story gets more and more messed up with every chapter. How is this still trying to be a comedy? It's like it's purposely checking every box of a progressively worse abusive relationship, and then trying to gaslight us into thinking it's all fun and innocent. This is borderline triggering. I've gone through the comments, and I've seen multiple people who read this and cried. I feel like I'm watching a train wreck in slow motion. Frankly this premise would work as a sort of meta horror more than a comedy. The hell.
Ruve legit never respects her wishes, and he's got the nerve to call HER cruel in this chapter? And Tia is so spineless she feels GUILTY for standing her ground against his emotional manipulation? Nobody is happy with Tia at this point. Half the readers are seriously disappointed she's stupid enough to fall for this abusive asshole (he is still the same person from the previous timeline, the only thing that's changed is how Tia acts, not Ruve's personality, and certainly not Tia's trauma, and the poison bullshit is just a cop-out), and the other half of the readers are frustrated that she's dragging out admitting she loves him in spite of everything. It's such a shame that this story turned into shit. The art is beautiful and the premise was strong, with a captivating beginning and lots of interesting characters. Now it's boring and disappointing on all fronts.
Fuuuuuuck this story, I just read it to hate on it at this point. The prince sees Tia break down and cry at the sight of the duchess with a newborn baby, and correctly concludes that Tia is crying over her infertility. What does he do? Takes her to a romantic location and makes out with her. Right. Because she's not obviously emotionally fragile and vulnerable in that moment. The prince is and always has been a selfish prick. He hasn't respected her wishes at any time. I have no respect for Tia, as she clearly had no respect for herself to fall in love with him again. I'm so disgusted, guys.
If you dont like something just stop reading lol. Also if you cant see the character development on the prince then you are blind, or idk. Also its hard for Tia to kill her feelings, even more if he has completly changed. Honestly I would not be able to hate someone, if they changed that much, even if I knew what he has done in another timeline, he is still different, and a much clearer minded person. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ but oh well not everyone is the same, we just have different mindsets.
I don't hate Aristia for it, I just hate the author. Yes he's a selfish bitch, when she backed away in beginning he also wouldn't stop pressing and harassing her
Okay at this point I am just gona ignore this, sorry. I dont want to continue this consversation, cos it would get too long to finish, and I lost my patience for a while, so I need to find it.#－.－) If you think he is harassing her then be it. You wont try to give him a second chance no matter what I say. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Let's not spread hate to the author... This story might be a bad experience for you.. but the author really put alot of work into this story and I guarantee this story means alot to him/her
I'm enjoying hating on it ;) What you call "character development," I call bad writing. It's also bad writing to expect us to believe Tia would be over her trauma and go back to the prince. Even if he is a "different person" (he's not), it doesn't make sense for her to be capable of loving him without Tia herself having some serious issues that require therapy. This is just a newer, less blatant version of the Chinese comic trope of pure-hearted heroines loving abusive partners in spite of everything they've put them through.
I don't know why it's bad to dislike the author for doing things to her characters and story that I find immoral. I'm not saying we should harass them
I don't think it's fine to hate the author itself aka the person but it's fine to dislike her work. It's ur opinion but just don't cross the line and carry things too far. But you don't do that, so it's fine.
I've lost all respect for Tia as of this latest chapter. And this is a bullshit excuse for why the prince was evil in the first timeline. I've said it before and I'll say it again, regardless of whether or not there was an explanation for his behavior, Tia getting over it completely and falling in love with him to such a degree that she turns her back on her conviction to spite god and forge her own path, is not believable. It's unsatisfying and makes her come across as a pathetic, love struck girl with no sense of self worth. This is on top of the fact that the poison making the prince evil is a bullshit plot device to begin with. If the author didn't want readers to hate the prince, there needed to be hints FROM THE BEGINNING that he was being abused/manipulated, and Tia's journey back to loving him needed to be rougher so that she actually came across as having strength in her convictions. At this point I'm keeping up with this manhwa so I can entertain myself by complaining about it, because I've already invested too much time to just ignore it completely.
This.
People with internalized romantization of abusive relationships will keep defending the former whitewashed abuser. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
The pacing is weird and it feels like there are several missing pages. The FL so far has no personality trait other than "always afraid." ML so far has no personality trait other than "vaguely threatening." Art is solid but nothing distinctive or particularly eye-catching. Probably going to drop this.
i mean who wouldn’t be scared when they died at the hands of the ml and not only that he sounds threatening to her so of course she’d be on guard and afraid.
Yeah... thing is... apart of being afraid she has nothing. No personality, no brains... nothing. And that's the problem...
