I'm not up to date with all the chapters, but there’s something I don't understand. In this world, men are forced to marry women, and women seem to hold all the power in relationships; they treat men poorly, have multiple partners & sex slaves, and all of this is portrayed as socially acceptable (basically a reversal of the roles seen in some other manga).
Given that setup, I don’t understand how every character with political or military power shown so far is male. There is a queen, but she hasn’t done anything significant and hasn’t even appeared in the assemblies depicted so far. Is there an explanation for this imbalance, or is it just an underdeveloped plot point? As it stands, it makes no sense to me.
There was a reveal (I think in later LN). The whole system was a fake setup, that ONLY middle/lower level aristocrats follow (aka baron, Marques, Count). The REALLY powerful ones - Duke, Prince, King, etc do NOT follow this "tradition". The whole thing about women being powerful and men forced to marry them, was a scheme created by country rules long ago in order to control mid-nobles, especially borderland land owners do they wouldn't rebel or defect, and would be so busy dealing with "powerful" women to think about anything else.
Additionally, the whole thing is unique to this ONE kingdom (aka first game or two), ALL other kingdoms (aka sequel games) have their own setup and weird traditions. Current and recent manga chapters are based in different kingdom where MC, and original characters are Exchange students. So totally different setups.
I don't want to alarm anyone, but I'm starting to think the Hero was a bad person and a terrible father.
I feel bad for the people of that world who died in the war. At the end of the day, most of these players (gods) don't see them as real people, but as NPCs to play with, the war and all of these battles were unnecessary from the very beginning.
One of the reasons I like AR (goddess dressed in black) is because when things got thought she decided to go down to try and save her people, unlike the other gods who are mostly playing with the lives of the people. She's not perfect, she also chose to participate in the war, but idk, I liked her sacrifice.
Same, I feel bad for Ledin
He was totally used, wisdom literally got his mother killed just because Ledin was compliant with his life
"I didn't want you to go through the pain I did, falling into a pit of misery because of impossible love. So I made you love women."
Because obviously there’s no way she’d suffer if she had fallen in love with a woman, in a world where gay people don’t even exist. Flawless logic, HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Hmmm, I'm suspicious of the guy with the face scar, he was waaay too eager to pin all the blame on Zig.
I feel like wishing for exactly what a demon tells you to, and offering the one thing it wants, isn’t the smartest move. Especially since the reason it wants his eye is probably not just because it's "beautiful".
Then again, he’s trapped, and it’s not like he has many options.
The story is far from over right now
Could the reason Serie started to "gift" spells be that she foresaw her own death, and this was her way of helping the future generations?
As a selfish rat, I always thought it was weird she would gift spells that take years/decades/centuries to learn, even if she's an immortal elf.
Since Serie claims that clairvoyance spells were passed down from the south, could this connect to the Hero of the South, the one who could see the future? We know he fought and defeated several Sages of Destruction (Demon King’s generals), but we only know that the demons eventually defeated him, we don't know what really happened. Could the demons have tampered with his corpse or magic? Or perhaps a descendant was captured and brainwashed by the Shadow Warriors.
I still think this is all part of a demon scheme. The demon Schlacht could see thousands of years ahead, he knew he would die at the hands of the Hero of the South and still chose to face him, which means there was something to gain. Now, seeing how Serie’s killer seems to wield clairvoyance as well, I feel it has to be related to these 2 individuals.
And honestly, I’m convinced the demons’ ultimate goal is to resurrect the Demon King, perhaps in human form since he was said to want to coexist with humanity. If that happens, it could also explain why Himel couldn't draw the hero sword from the stone, the time to wield it simply hadn’t come yet. Which also makes me curious about the goddess's magic, and if there really was a goddess, maybe an elf that ended up being glorified as a god due to helping humanity for a long time... Anyway, I'm rambling.
Such a good theory
This is really!! So what himel and frieren kill is fake?? Coz why the fk shadow warrior can easily kill serie?? With that's powerhouse they can easily reclaim any demon region
Poor brothers, as a monster myself, I too torture my loved ones instead of communicating that I'd like to spend time with them. It's crazy how the main character never understood that torture equals brotherly/fatherly love in her family.

Ragebait (〜￣△￣)〜
'As a monster myself' lmaooo real
Love this, love that, do these people not know the definition of abuser or toxic?
Abusive love is still love, love is neither purely good nor purely evil, it's a complicated concept. So yes Riette is abusive to Noah, but yes she also loves him. The fact she was unwilling to kill him as a natural born s class is enough proof of that.
