I really wanted to like this story because MC is pretty cool but everyone else is just so scummy. Her father and brothers neglected, used, and discarded the OG Camilla and now suddenly love her because she did a few nice things?? Slimy, fickle scumbags. I feel pity and disgust that she’s being taken in by their shallow and fickle love since she’s never known any familial love at all. Sweetheart, it is not supposed to be like this. MC herself already told us about Petro’s scumminess so I won’t elaborate further. ‘Donna’ raises blood pressure at the complete lack of genuine remorse and just dismissiveness for all the suffering she’s caused to both Camilla and Sia. Also, all the side-characters like the red-haired duke who treated Camilla and Ravi with disdain for being commoners and now also change their minds at the drop of a hat and accept them despite their lowliness can go to hell.
The ghosts can also be pushy and annoying and also are often brainless plot devices rather than realistic as the people they were meant to be. Like in that scene where MC is telling the butler and past family head why she’s faking prophetic dreams and has to hold their hand and explain the whole thing as if it isn’t such as easy deduction that these two supposedly intelligent people should’ve been able to make.
It definitely feels like the MC is the only character who has any consistent characterization/feels like a real person. Everyone else (except maybe the black-haired love interest) feel like foils and plot devices in the world that revolves around her.
It’s kind of ridiculous when they just slap ‘30 years old’ onto the female leads as a way to be like ‘oh, she has life experience, how cool!’ when the FL’s still have the personalities of teenage girls and of course are virgins despite their supposed age because of course female leads must be ‘pure’
She has a family who loves her and who she loves and she’s willing to go live amongst strangers under poor conditions for the rest of her life just for someone she doesn’t know personally but as a character in a novel??? Stupid af
good storyline and mentally strong fl.
in this list, you'll see more of a 'mentally strong women', which means smart, cunning, calculative and quick wicked.
i hate it when a 30 yrs old woman gets reincarnated as a 5 yrs old and acts like a baby + extra hate when they have a crush on a 5 yrs old so i'll try my best to not add those weird ass stories and instead add tolerable ones
i delete many of the stories i add later on if they become boring etc. even if they have a strong fl <3
Why would anyone be attracted to or fall in love with someone willing to murder children? It’s beyond me.
The one page we got from the blacksmith sisters backstory/perspective was more interesting and in-depth from anything we’ve gotten from the protagonist. All of her bonds and motivations feel incredibly shallow, as well as her personality. People are loyal to her because (checks notes) she’s a cute little girl. That’s pretty much it. She has had literally zero genuine bonding moments with anyone, like she said ‘I’ll always be by your side’ to the ML: bro we have not seen a single scene where you have a true connection with him, it’s just shallow conversations.
I really want to like this story because the art is so good and it seems more feminist than the majority of stories, but it’s just so lacking in any substance.
Plus, the ML keeps calling the guy from the desert an ‘underdeveloped primate’. Yea, racism is sooo attractive.
In this chapter you can really see the subtle misogyny that’s prevalent in this genre. How the ML’s friend feels free to insert himself into her personal space (forcing her to lean back) upon first meeting her. How the ML feels free to physically stop her from speaking when she’s about to say something he doesn’t want her to say. It’s these small physical acts that say a lot when we pay attention.
