Why are people so one sided here? Its all about perspective.
Obsidian joined to escape his husband, get a divorce and redeem the life she had lost
Pearl and Red head(I don't remember) joined for marriage
Amethyst, joined to find someone who would love her without her title as "saintess"
Alexandrite, I'm not quite sure what he's in it for bit maybe it's for love as well
Platinum joined the competition with the idea that Marianne would be in the competition. The "who is a liar game" proves that if obsidian was lying to him, he'd feel nothing hate but hate on her because she lied to him (in our generation today that's what we call CATFISHING). Looking at his backstory, tho it was short, he lived an awful life and tried redeeming himself after watching Marianne in the season 4 show. (Right after the competition, he wanted to live his to the fullest and changed. Then just by seeing Marianne happy that was enough for him). To be honest, I find platinum very pure willing to sacrifice his whole-self for Marianne and the fact that he joined for pure love. And that's why he is call platinum because platinum is PURE.
My question is, why is it that people has been hating him when the broadcast has beenn pre-determined by moon-owl himself. (Platinum doubting obsidian, adding Orange girl, and suddenly making himself one of the prospects)
Seems to me that they're playing right under moon-owl's palms. Don't get me wrong, but he seems more like the villain rather than the MC.
Just my cup of tea, don't get me wrong I'm team Moon-owl but Platinum does not deserve to be treated as the Villain here.
Platinum have been forcing himself on Obsidian since they met. That’s why most of us hate him. Even Obsidian prefered Alexandrite for his politeness and respect for her boundaries (no touch nor KISSING without her CONSENT).
Moon-Owl even tried to prevent Platinum advances on her in that “date” scene in the mountains. Platinum didn’t SAted her there thanks to the wolves Moon-Owl sent.
She did, but let me also add that she almost "got" feelings for platinum but of course moon-owl woke her up from her delusion. And as well as let's not forget that that she is a big fan of Jewel Box ever since she was young. I'm just putting it out here that, even though platinum has been forcing himself on her. She knew exactly what she was going into, tho it might be forced. She knew what the show was capable of. (Later in the chapters, it was revealed that sleeping with each other is allowed and that was the part where she was unsure if she was capable of performing - so I'm just putting it out that she knew exactly what she was going into) And let's not forget that it's Moon-owl himself who forced her to join the show and used her weakness against her (being in an abusive relationship and offering a way out by joining the jewel box).
Tho I am against SA and anything of that sort and I'm not saying platinum is any innocent. I'm just saying that both moon-owl and Obsidian isn't that pure or innocent either.
Obsidian was forced to perform in a show in which she had no choice from.
While Moon-owl himself is the show's puppet master. Controlling how the show would go on
Platinum is only a contender, who wasn't aware anything of that sort. All he knows is that obsidian "might" be Marianne, as moon,-owl forced obsidian to act like her and Mariane was also portrayed in the manga as a woman who had an elicit affair with lots and lots of men(AND ILL JUST REMIND IT AGAIN THAT, even Obsidian knew this and still joined the jewel box event.)
I'll ask u, who forced and offered a deal that obsidian can't reject so that she joins the jewel box? It's none other than Moon-owl himself. He is the game dev/puppet master.
So, Bellesac, and other dude were playing with a ball, and as I recall they didn't hit Florentia with the ball on purpose, the ball bounce off somewhere. While looking for the Ball bellesac, and other dude saw Florentia that she got hit with a ball, this caused Tia's nosebleed. By then, Bellesac started calling Florentia names again such as "half-blood", etc. This angered Florentia and tossed him some dirt, which made Bellesac Mad. When he was about to hit Florentia, the twins stopped him just on time. Florentia at that time was about to pass out and when the twins wanted to take revenge on Tia. Well, this is where the misunderstanding happen. As the manhwa stated, Tia said "Don't hurt Bellesac" and as you recall she was talking in her head(DONT HURT HIM BECAUSE IT IS MY JOB TO TAKE ON REVENGE FOR MYSELF(or context similar to that)). The twins misunderstood Florentia as a child whos very kindhearted and a child who does not want to retaliate. The rumors spread fast in the mansion, saying that Florentia is actually an angel since she didn't want to retaliate and acted really kind(The maids gossips a lot). Lulac(Grandfather), then of course heard of this and got really mad(Fyi, Lulacs favorite grandchild is Florentia) (I'm stopping here since the chapter stopped here)(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Ok so first of all I want to warn that this is a spoiler!
Sorry this is a warning(another) THIS IS AJ ACTUAL SPOILER FROM THE NOVEL SO PLEASE IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE SPOILED LEAVE.
JUST A LITTLE MORE
YOUR ALMOST THERE
PFFTTT ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Actual spoilers down here
As I remember after the "ready to make clothes". Pellet will resign as Lombardis teacher ordered by Tia. By then Pellet will now be "on his own". Tia instructed pellet to tell lilac that he will still be continuing to teach tia because she's smart(they wouldn't have anymore reason to meet so ...). Tia then instructed pellet to buy a building.(THE START OF PELLET CORPORATION, sorry my English sux but if you have questions regarding the novel feel free to ask me and I'll try to answer them).
That's probably bellesac. So what happened is bellesac annoyed tia (probably he called her half-blood). Tia and bellesac and the other Lombardi fought and apparently bellesac got really mad at tia and Tia's nose started to drip blood. She then lost consciousness. The twins saw bellesac abusing tia and they ran to her. She uttered "Don't touch bellesac"(in her mind, don't touch him because I'll be the one getting my revenge). People misunderstood Tia and they thought that Tia is an angel that doesn't want to retaliate. This got Lulac mad and got Bellesac to stay away from Tia for awhile. Also Viege got a nice scolding from Lulac.
11y/o(not sure), Lulac wabted to use the 2nd pronce to pressure the empress. So, it was known that the 2nd prince was missing(he cannot be found). And florentia actually heard his grandfather and helped in looking for the 2nd prince(he was in the abandoned annex) and so, Florentia said she knows where Perez is and she will guilde grandpa. And so that happened thus the Reunion happened. (Poor perez, he was abused af). So, whay happened next is, Lulac sponsored Perez and Lavini won't be able to touch him anymore since Lulac is protecting the 2nd prince
I thought the other prince was the second lead
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Anyways this is my last question, as much as I want you to tell me everything I'm gonna save everything else. You know the thing with Tia's Auntie? The divorce thing, did it actually happen? Or did his Aunt's husband had a change of heart? What happened to the twins??
The husband of shannet has an affair with someone for 6years. In the past the husband was extorting money from the Lombardis and got away with it but in this timeline he got caught thanks to the help of tia. Also in the past timeline, after the divorce of shannet she isolated herself from everyone but in this timeline all I can say is that she is an MVP(๑•ㅂ•)و✧ trust me THE HUSBAND IS A PIECE OF SHIT. Also regarding the twins, they went with their father in the past timeline. But in this one, they despised their father after finding out the truth. Also bonus: The husband got into a debt and was put into prison alongside with his affair(good for them)
This is all part of Moon-owl's manipulation to garner views from the audience. Getting Obsidian to fall for platinum, tricking platinum into thinking that Amber is the real Marianne.
And as well as forcing Obsidian to join the competition against her will (Tempting her with an offer she can't refuse "freedom to her husband).
Like literally. Everyone is under Moon-owl's puppetry. It's all going according to his plan.
Yep he's a show coordinator so it makes sense but the fact that he may be the boy in the library has me holding on, I mean when you think about it its sus MC, someone already married, was scouted in the first place, it must be because she was on his radar since forever.
NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS LIKE THAT OMG
I don't mind that but I don't like the idea that he has been playing with everyone's emotion. Especially Obsidian's and Platinum. Don't get me wrong, I don't like Platinum. But with his backstory. The only reason he joined the competition was due to Marianne. With that he was also willing to sacrifice his remaining lifespan so that Marianne can succeed the throne. (The only reason Marianne joined the competition was due to the fact that she needed someone to play king for her. The problem is, people sought for her due to the fact that she's a widow. People are vying for the position of Emperor. Whilst platinum on the other hand. He's goal is to help Marianne succeed the throne by becoming king and making a law that allows women to succeed the throne).
They didn't put much details into it but I'm a person who nitpicks on details so...
True, it's also the reason I may not want other male contestants to win but at the same time it's obvious they want Marinn
It cut off but anyway, that's the same reason I don't think platinum would fit well because he doesn't seem to be mature enough at least in my opinion.
idk if you watched reality shows before but this is actually how it's done. its moon owl's jod to gain ppl's attention bc its all part of the show
