All my fellow people, please stop saying the main character is stupid, the whole writing of this piece falls flat, the ending can be guessed by reading the first five chapters, I doubt the author will bring never seen before plot-twist, but with all that in mind, saying that the main character is stupid simply because he is stubborn and doesn't want help from a manipulative person is short-sighted. Media suffers from people illiteracy and it seems like this is the proof of that. A person that acted like you were a prostitute, didn't respect you in the past, tries to make moves on you now even though you asked to stop, simply because they think that they are on top of the world, you mean to tell me you would agree to their help? I'm not saying this is a classic or a work that shpuld be held high, but do we really need everything spelled out(even though it was spelled out and highlighted how the main character feels). PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, try to think how the character would feel in the moment, just because there is an undying need for romance, it wouldn't make sense for him to just be happy with the situation. I hope some of the readers in the future try to see things from the characters perspective and understand it. I'm not trying to say that people are stupid, but the comments lack real critique, just because there's a dislike to character writing, doesn't mean there is a need to parrot the comments, about how annoying are the characters. I hope anyone who reads has a fantastic day.
Okay first and foremost, this is great, the art is beautiful and the whole transmigation arc is not like the others, yes we got the clichè, where transmigator suddenly becomes the target of the main characters, however it truly feels like it's because of her merits and quick thinking skills. Second of all, i really appreaciate the author for not making this a fluffy love story, as we can see mc felt some affection to the emperor, however she, as probably most of us, couldn't look past that the ml could kill anyone and anywhere simply for his satisfaction. Would anyone believe from such a man, who enjoys hurting other people for fun, that he loves them. Lastly, i see a lot of complaints about the mc being spineless, but in my humble opinion, she is one of the most 3d and human like characters i've ever seen. As creatures with thinking, we fear a lot of things especially dying, so of course she feels fears the emperor, it's even highlighted why would anyone enjoy living a fairytale dream that's not real, she needed to wapk on eggshells all the time. And let's not forget that when you are presented with the task of killing another human and you are painfully aware, that they are inhumanely stronger than you, of course you'd feel not up to the task.
To conclude, i love the story for being a bit more realistic that were pumped out in recent years and how we actually face moral dillemas , especially how it's portrayed through mc.
Recently i noticed a trend in these types of stories where sa is weirdly justified? I mean this story could have these dark themes if the main guy (i don't know their names) got to live a good life with his brother without the blond, show casing how he overcame this sort of trauma. But instead it's justified because he sorta likes the blond??? LIKE BABES there was no redemption he is still doing what he pleases and while this is fiction in the real life it would be a horror story. Your abuser controls your life, then you live with him and eventually the stockholm syndrome just kicks in, so you get the happily ever after? I follow this story for a long time but the more i read the more deppressing it seems.
