I feel like Laila’s trauma has kinda…not been addressed? Like at some point the story lost its more serious edge, and now its just going smoothly with some not-really-tense romance drama going on. I dunno it just doesnt feel satisfying. Dont get me wrong i understand Sion’s past and mentality, revenge was the only thing he could cling to so logically i get it. But that doesn’t excuse the fact that Laila lived many many years repeating life over and trying to escape death, only to be hunted down and murdered by him each time. Until she had to learn to smile through her terror and befriend him.
It just feels like their current relationship is…unearned maybe?
And I dont so much have an issue with them ending up together, instead it’s how it seems the story isn't really addressing the past from Laila’s PoV anymore and thus all she went through is being swept under the rug. Like i expected her to show some fear or ptsd to see “grown up Sion,” even if just for a moment, and then for then to finally address it and talk about it. But instead she just smiled to see him and the story moved onto matchmaking?
I dunno it feels…off. Like the story isnt allowing her any anger and grief anymore and thus not letting her work through her own trauma. Maybe it’ll happen next few chapters but it would feel a bit late i guess
Also the fact that she’s instead so guilty and haunted about being the villain’s daughter instead is so frustrating to me because she literally didnt do anything and yet suffered so much for it. Like i feel the story is focusing on the wrong thing here??
10000000% ! And what’s even the point of throwing the repeated murder in there if it’s barely explored outside of sion unlearning his hate for her? like you wrote, they barely touch on how it would affect her. I’m hoping that once she finds out that he has also come back to life with her that it will trigger something in her. I think there’d be a big difference knowing he is the same person and consciously killed her over and over again. Not some ‘this is a different person who hasn’t killed me yet and is ignorant of his past lives’ both is bad but I feel like being murdering once vs several times makes it worse
very well said. I feel the story focuses more on Sion's guilt but didnt touch that much on how this could affect Laila. going through 7th lives and getting killed by the same person each time isnt something someone should shrug over. each life costs her almost 20 years of repeating the same fate. At one point she was even abused by her husband. Normally that will cause severe trauma. Yet, author makes it feel like those years were nothing to Laila. No one can be that optimistic after going through hell like that.
Exactly, and the fact that Shion remembered each life as well and yet still chose to kill her repeatedly? That's not something the story should just excuse or minimize like it currently is. What happened to the Laila who boldly cursed at him every time he killed her? Again, her father's actions are inexcusable, but that doesn't justify Shion's towards her (Altho in early chapters the story acknowledged Shion's actions were crazy, but now it seems to be minimized or at least the consequences of it sort of ignored...)
Yes, thank you, well put! I also noticed that the author is increasingly making this "Shion's" story and sort of using his trauma to underplay Laila's. Again the choice to make her feel so guilty about who her father is....i'm frustrated by it, I really am. Especially since she destroyed her family in this timeline, so any culpability she might have had (just from being born mind you, so i personally dont think she had any) should be long gone. I found it weird that the author is focusing on Shion's guilt over the murders instead of Laila's trauma towards them and her past multiple years of struggle
It was honestly so satisfying seeing her curse him out, wish she kept more of that attitude at least for her inner thoughts. It’s disappointing it brushes past her PTSD and trauma, unless it’s to show her feeling guilty. I guess the only “excuse” is that she doesn’t know he remembers everything too, so from her side, it might feel like he’s a totally different person.
not the most mature thing, but I get revenge! can be a bit vengeful too sometimes lol (not proud of it). But the whole “daughter of my enemy” thing means nothing to me. She was an innocent and has nothing to repent for, so it annoyed me when even the sister glared at her.
Have you read “your majesty, please don’t kill me again” ? Has a similar setup, but I think it handled things way better so far









Read the raws, and now writing a fic to get closure on this. I can't stomach the growing possibility that Leon is just stuck with them and it'll only get worse. Anyone interested here's the link, but pls mind the tags (especially in chapter 1). Fair warning, I'm going to keep everyone in character.

(I hope the author proves me wrong about Leon's fate, cause I really do think this story had potential.)
Where did you read the raws?
My replies keep getting deleted, trying looking in the comments below for a link
