I blame this author for my obsession with red flags and screwed up views on consent. Thankfully I grew out of that, but I like reading works that I use to enjoy when I was younger and see how my point of view has changed. Shinjo Mayu will always be a guilty pleasure for me.
Also realized how these types of works (manga, novels, etc.) normalized and romanticized older men with extremely younger girls (and how in some cases, the mangakas made the FLs look like preteens even if they were adults). Like holy conditioning...
It doesn't really feel like josei smut, especially with the art. The FL is gorgeous, but the ML looks so ordinary, and is kinda trash. Plus the FL's breast look overly exaggerated. This looks more like a seinen story trying to imitate josei.
tbh you're right
What are you talking about? I’ve seen women in real life with bigger breast than her. What do you mean “over exaggerated”? just because you’re flat doesn’t mean all women are.
Context matters. If it was just the breasts, it would be different. Also, no need to be so aggressive, Jesus. I am well endowed myself, but i don't see how what they said is offensive
I mean I’m not supporting the aggression but her being well endowed is fine coming from a fellow well endowed woman. It goes well with her body, cuz her waist is not overly tiny and shit. If her body was overly small then it will look weird. So her being “overly endowed” is not really a strong take honestly
It is a strong take within context. If it was used as proof alone, it wouldn't.
Mind you I’m wasn’t being aggressive I made a observation, If someone genuinely thinks her chest is huge to the point of being unrealistic, then they probably have a very limited idea of the range of body types women can have. There are plenty of women in real life with breasts that size and larger.
My point wasn't to be aggressive. I was pointing out that calling her chest "overly exaggerated" doesn't automatically make sense when women with those proportions exist in real life.
Mhm I see, but I do agree with your point. Even I didn’t think it was overly exaggerated, cuz it looks fine on her body.
In this context I’d say it’s a weak take considering it doesn’t look horrid on her
To getting their happy ending? I've read that they are end game, but how much more bs do they have to deal with before they get their happiness?
Hm... I can't tell how much but there should be 2-3 arcs before the story ends.
Spoilers (don't ask me details. I just read the short vers from comments in noveupdate)
They became conscious of each feelings a little after this duel/trial. There's an arc about going to a neighboring country for a while this time Shuli and the girl (twin) leaves with Nora. I could be wrong but most romance scenes happened in this arc. At the end of this arc Shuli & Nora became official but this is also the arc where they deal with the Prince. After this there's another arc and this time they fight and confront the Cardinal/Priest & corrupt church (this is also where notorious yandere scene happened). After this arc there's the happy ending. Tho maybe there are extra content/scenes, i don't know of since after the knowing the ending I stopped reading spoilers :/
Thank you kindly
Thank you! But wdym by notorious yandere scene?
Cardinal richelieu is gonna kidnap shuri
Wtf he really is insane. His obsession with shuri is wild. Did they say why he kidnapped her?
Thank you PinksNPunks!
*Spoilers*
As for why he abducts her, can't be for anything good. Since he can't control her using any other means, he probably lost it and went mask off. He tried to ruin Neuchwanstein which failed because of Nora and he then poisons Nora, which also fails (and that's when Nora and Shuri get together fr :D)
Shuri does escape though and Richelieu is doomed.
Why are they so hung up in destroying the family? Is it because they're the only vulnerable family? (With no father and all that). Does Richelieu have a one-sided beef with Shuri cos Shuri kinda hinted that she also came back from death (Richelieu said he was basically resurrected but a diff kind unlike Shuri). I'm so tired of them. Just let this family go wtf.
Richelieu’s beef with shuri stems from his attraction to her and his misogynistic ahh ideals where he believes that a woman like shuri shouldn’t be allowed such power (her being the current head of the wealthiest household in the empire)
Yep, that's right. He's got this weird obsession with Shuri. She stands out, she's different, she's powerful. I think he's also attracted to her and he thinks she's at fault for him having these feelings for her -_-
PLUS, his twisted desire for her probably makes him think "if I can't have her, no one can, so I'll destroy her."
It's not the Neuchwanstein family he has beef with, it's Shuri's existence.
What the fck! That's messed up!
What in the actual fck! Thanks this makes me uhh understand more I guess
Another FL that is dead set on allowing the story to progress because for some illogical reason she cannot change it "just because".
Honestly would do the same, I am commoner with nothing, what can I do? And not like she knows how to find the fairy. She is helping the kid, returning him and the living the life she wants ヾ(☆▽☆)
? I understood that she is helpless not that just because... explaining the complicated back story
I think they mean that she can do the most basic thing anyone could: become close to the kid by being nice and taking care of him. She said it herself that she doesn’t wanna get closer because she’s afraid that will change the story. That’s pretty much it, which is a dumb fear.
The FL is so annoying and dumb as fuck in chapter 43...like b*tch, that ahole was going to gRape and kill you (probably kill the ML if he could), will do it to other women...and you ask the ML not to kill the bastard because "you promised to not be a hitman anymore"?
Well he's not, he isn't getting paid for killing him.
There are people that will hurt and come after you (many who the law cannot touch, plus you are technically in hiding), it will be kill or be killed.
There's a difference between killing in self defense or to guarantee your safety, and killing for money or pleasure. Why do authors make the FLs incapable of getting this? At least give them common sense...
Same thing happened in Doctor Elise or Lady with the lamp.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ML's mother (Empress) and sister where killed by the then Queen (later becomes the new empress). She (villain) and her faction constantly try to kill the ML so her son can become the crown prince. Even the 2nd prince (his brother) feels bad over what his mother did and doesn't really want the crown, but will kill the ML in order to protect his mother.
Come the end of the story and the dumb FL tells the ML "killing them won't bring back the dead back or make things better...forgive them"...
I personally would've killed them and her for saying such dumb sh*t. I suffered my whole life, lost my family and just subdued a rebellion started by them...and you come in with a "holier-than-thou" attitude and tell me to let it go? Risk my new reign, my life, the lives of my future children, and the order of my kingdom? I'll send your iseakai'ed ass back to your world if it bothers you that much. The manhwa had a lot of other issues, but those final chapters really put the final nail in the coffin.
Abandoned Empress is another one...-_-
Had to drop it cause she’s so dumb.
Thanks for spoiling the end. I'm glad I dropped it.
fr fr they be acting like some pacifist or something...
It's always perturbing how in a lot of the Chinese novel adaptations the females always look like little girls (13-16, specially in the face), but with large chests and thighs that are disproportionate to their frame.
Shows some tendencies...
...they also justify and romanticize gRape...a lot.
Daddy almost had a heart attack, he 100% thought she was going to say they were involved
