Never in all my years of reading yaoi have I ever seen something like this yooooo Shuraka...no seme is coming close to you omggg
Ikrrr it’s so refreshing to see
Her speech to her father was sooo refreshing because the entire time Ariadne has been playing right into the system and becoming just another part of it. But Isabella recognized how flawed the entire thing is, she realised she as well as ariadne have been raised as broodmares just for the ambition of men. She is still a villain and horrible but she is now infinitely more interesting than Ariadne, she honestly has more depth than her.
Ariadne knew what her father wanted from the start of her second life. She plotted revenge for the entire family.
But along the way she just genuinely fell in love and like a stupid ass is again putting all of her efforts into a man instead of herself. How she didn’t learn from her first life is beyond me.
So true
Most old shoujos are shit and portray a harmful example of love to young girls. This is an example of that. People only still like it cuz we were 10 and didnt know better and now nostalgia has yall thinking a relationship where a cheater "protects" a shy young girl is peak just cuz she "showed" him real love and "fixes him".
PREACH GIRL! heard it's also very transphobic and homophobic at times. i feel this one is a manga that's based on nostalgia elements, and doesn't hold up based on modern times. but I heard overall the art and flow of story is good(i haven't read it, i refuse to read the virgin x player dynamic i js don't FW it at all)and the ML fashion was very cool in the manga.
Johannes is freaking weird and a coward like I totally get why Ludovika chose the emperor. The emperor isnt a good person at all but at least he did everything to get her, she said it herself she needs action and emperor gave her exactly that. He broke of his engagement for her, gave her many gifts and made her who is a lower ranked noble the empress. I would chose him too.
Meanwhile Johannes met her first, fell for her first and says he loves her but wont fight for her. Who wants a man like that?? He prioritizes his standing, reputation etc. over her despite having the chance to get her but has the nerve to tell her not to marry??? Like he never showed her that he was in love until the last moment despite knowing her since they were young he knew her before the emperor yet still didnt do shit wtf. His love is weak af, he loves her but not enough to actually do shit like he was expecting her to come to him by declaring his love but she was smart and chose the actual devoted guy. And then he goes and ruins a yound girls life...I know ludovika is rolling in her grave at this mans audacity
i dont think johannes was too weird when he was in love with her, he just became obsessive after. also isn't it stated that ludovika only chose the emperor because he had more power? i don't know if there were any other factors
They behave like a married couple with kids, 1 parent primarily raising the children and the other parent is the bread winner. They are so gay lmao
I wanted to upvote, sorry
