Ugh I can’t tell whether that Vinka girl is trying to become a princess by pretending to be Win’s sister or if she’s trying to seduce him.
Either way, I wish they hadn’t introduced her quite yet. The whole shadowy figure seems separate from Elia and her fake dad, so I honestly don’t care at this point about Vinka. She just icks me the hell out, and if she gets worse I might have to drop this title for a while so I can binge past her parts.
She’s the redhead uncle’s daughter. ( ￣□￣)
I believe in true love, I really do, but this man thinks what he has is “true”? If it were the case, he would either have given up his title to be a commoner or figured out a way to have Aria titled as a noble so he could marry her.
The fact is he took the coward’s way out. It’s not true love, it’s selfishness. I’m betting he likes the class difference between him and his lover, either to stoke his own ego or to “preserve her innocence”.
It’s the way he harps on about not being bewitched and straying from the path of a knight. . . .but that’s literally what he’s been doing even before she got involved. She approached him after being saved and admiring him. It’s very likely that his “true love” was similar. He didn’t asked to be called a hero but he didn’t reject any of the benefits of that title either. His entire family loves and supports her and yet he still thinks she is the one who’s the problem. I could bet money that his family has never even met the mistress #－.－)
HE DIDNT ASK TO BE CALLED A HERO BUT HE DIDNT REJECT ANY OF THE BENEFITS OF THAT TITLE EITHER!
The side characters are all really interesting. Seira must have clung to the duke as her only support after the genocide, and hence become obsessed with earning a rightful (stable) place by his side. Lara has a complicated relationship with her coddling family, and Niobe has lofty ambitions even if she’s a creep. Even Gerard is not just an innocent kid, blindly trusting his master, but is someone with a sense of righteousness.
It just sucks that the story doesn’t spend much time on any of it! My only hope they’ll do side stories at the end to really explore what it was like for these characters to face their unique problems.
Of course as soon as the prince “swears” he won’t tell, he blurts out the secret. This goes beyond “golden retriever energy”, he’s just stupid. Like, buddy, you couldn’t even come up with a decent lie? You folded like a tower of cards at the slightest pressure.
Honestly, if this is how he handles national affairs, he deserves whatever bad ending comes his way.
Damn! I agree tho
I thought he was cute at first but he is a freaking prince how could he be so stupid
I don’t know if it’s better or worse that the servants are talking about the duke (not) marrying his sister, instead of the people involved.
And it’s. It’s not a joke, or at least doesn’t feel like one. The writing is not comical or show that the characters feel the idea is absurd. So what is happening here.
I understand that equality is important inside the academy, but the crown prince’s health isn’t just confined to inside the academy. If he fell ill and died of overwork, that has political ramifications beyond any school council’s authority.
And Eldegarde is clearly taking advantage of that. The school is trying to be a bubble, a small world where monarchy doesn’t exist. But it’s all fake. What they do at school HAS to impact those outside it, otherwise the school actually has no purpose. So Eldegarde uses this false pretense of a world where he has more authority than the crown prince to affect the real world where the crown prince has more authority than him.
Overall it’s a stupid system and the ML should have contacted his parents the moment official duties were being delayed.
There are so many things I like about this. The pack dynamics are so far accurate, including the part where a strong female naturally takes leadership. Also the wolves seem monogamous so far which is also realistic. And while we don’t quite know what Hwan’s situation is, it’s also known for solo males to join up and wander around looking for a pack to join or a mate to start their own pack.
But my favorite part was Hwan’s arm transforming. Like, YES give me beastmen who aren’t all on or all off. Give me beastmen who have more than cute ears and maybe a tail (outside of chibi anyways). Let’s do this the interesting way and really show why these half beasts are different from humans.
The series ending with the chapter 1 title actually gave me a chill. It’s not easy explaining past life/time travel succinctly, but I’m glad they did because that was so cool!!!
Now he’s finding out :)
This is the cold hard truth about tsuderes: it’s cute when you’re flirting, but impossible when you’re considering any kind of long term arrangement.
He thought this was a cute game where she would always run after him and give in, but it’s not. She’s clearly getting tired of being the one to meet him where he is (emotionally and physically), while he gets to change the rules around on her whenever he wants. Genuinely hoping he gets his head out of his insecurities and understands this is a medical need for her.
Someone get me into this kind of bookclub lmao
