What with all the face cards? I can't focus on a character because they are all distracting me ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Didn't know his yearning is this strong cause dayum another ML in the yearning list
When you read the novel or this manhwa you will see the crude realities of being a woman especially those who are unwanted and lusted. In my opinion this manhwa is the peak epitome of showing the femme fatale of the Female Lead and the deep rooted misogyny in the society. Additionally, topics like prostitution and some very more explicit topics will be present in this manhwa it's sad to say that everything here in this manhwa is like a mirror to our world. Especially exposing the aristocrats lives. It's going to be frustrating in the future chapters especially those who don't like damsels in distress or the ML saving the FL but in this case I hope readers will understand the men (in this historical era) are "needed" like how women in the 19s need a men in for a approval in everything (like bank accounts, business, marriage, safety and authority).
And the "pick me's" or people who crave male validation are a lot in this story. And oh my lord the predatory looks or preferences of men disgusts me the most. Y'all should read the novel it's graphic as hell, like how FL or the women are very aware the preferences of predatory men youthful, curvy ( like bountiful fat on the breast and back) plus thin waist and skin as pale white. Like body dysphoria is very real in this manhwa.
I hope y'all up your media literacy here in this manhwa because it's going to get more uncomfortable as each chapters go by.
I feel like I'm the host of the Silverwood Tree because this series is feeding of my hopes and comfort because each page that I thought will be fluffy the next chapter Coco faces something bad or something happens that is irreversible and worried about the people find out the magic and makes things worst... Like this story is PEAK at the same it's giving me the highest stress levels I can't even think off.
Even if the war is won on the enemy side the victims will always be the inoccent people being violated because of hate and prejudice. No matter what race, religion or gender the one who will be blamed or being used as a punching bag to whom they want to vent their frustration against injustice are the people in their homes and nearby neighbourhoods whom they deemed as week and vulnerable. Violence doesn't happen in one place it happens anywhere at the same timeline.
I'm talking to people who mentions "free" that one country only and ignore what's happening to other countries. The only time that country is truly is free is when it's leader hold accountability to their actions they cause and make sure the citizens aren't harmed by the agenda of hatred or using them as propaganda to gain favor using their sufferings for sympathy from others. The worst kind of violence are those from your own people or those who have the same beliefs as you because only few will report or take notice of it since it's already normalized or the mastermind within that country controls the narrative of the violence they cause. I notice that most viral news are those war that have another country involved in it.
THE WAY RYDER (or Rider) CARRIES MIRIA WHILE SHE'S CUDDLING WITH BABY MORI IS KILLING ME!!! (I'm a sucker for wholesome family tropes)
When you are in a yearning competition and your opponent is Jio's Celestial
I can be brain dead sometimes with other series especially with similar tropes. I don't nitpick or complain any series that have similar tropes with a hint of twists here and there. I just LOVE reading and experiencing different kind of emotions whether they are good and bad. I appreciate where tropes show some realistic takes when it comes to any cliché in the story.
Now when it comes to transmigration ESPECIALLY when it's from (Eastern Asia) MODERN to (Western) HISTORICAL expect that WE will get SECOND HAND EMBARRASSMENT when the FMC acts differently from the society that they transmigrated to and our inner dialogue be like
"Just please stay calm and stay where you are and don't do anything stupid". But remember our FMC here transmigrate into a role with AUTHORITY and RESPONSIBILITY to take care of her people/subjects sooo she NEEDS to get her head together and start taking action because IF NOT y'all will call her like those trending Y/N scenarios where the background characters get extra work and WILL call the MC here a HEARTLESS, SELFISH, and LAZY for disregarding her role. I won't talk about her profession since some comments called it out about it already but like have y'all read history about the western society? TO MANY RULES, LAW AND MANNERISMS FOR WOMEN TO FOLLOW (no matter which position) I CAN'T KEEP UP WTF
IF the FMC here is written differently where she could solve any problem, intergrate in a foreign society, and the "I don't need help from any characters (especially from men) since I can do it by myself", it's either two reactions "OMG SHE IS SOO GIRL BOSSS SLAYYYY" or "OMG SHE'S SUCH MARY SUEE and THIS IS CLICHE OR BORING AF".
Yes, she may be dumb and sometimes other characters appear smarter than her, BUT its consider a charm for me even when it's embarrassing because she TRIES to fit in the society, did her best in what she knows (which is from business), takes responsibility for her subjects (look at the title) and once in a while other characters lends her a hand in developing and showing her the realistic part in the world she transmigrating in like connection, socialization are important to make her territory flourish (Business 101).
And genuine hot take: Some people have a hard time intergrating in today's present society especially when there's a generational gap, any individual circumstances or systematic problems they currently face. So don't mock those people. Give them time, educate and help them understand that even though they are different to what is considered the "norm" they are still human beings after all. With the EXCEPTION of some WORST PEOPLE of course.
As for the romance in this story I have nothing to say and I'm brain dead about it LMAO.
