I must say, i really dislike when some select ppl notice the value and power of another erson that is known for being weak amd powerless and despised for it and hate themselves bc of it, and they will internally praise them elevate their status and responsibility matching their real abilities and not their perceived inadequacy, but they won't ever tell the despised person about their value.
just throwing them to the wolves without a shred of direction.
and yes, I'm talking about the old guy who gave her books and made her meet the guardian beast and made her the 1st consort.
nonchalant x overly expressive
I'm not reading it bc I'm sick of overly expressive characters to the point that it feels like I'm a toddler who can't yet recognize emotions and expressions unless its over exaggerated. to me, it diminishes the story and makes it unbearable to actually enjoy as anything other than a fool being ridiculous to entertain the court
yet another "i challenge you to a duel, if i win you will never talk to fl ever again, if you win you will marry fl" without ever asking what fl wants to do. it's just shallow peacocking and fl is still clueless about the other's feelings for her.
I'm dropping that shit, that kind of plotline infuriates me. it dismisses the fl's agency over herself.
honestly, oto is utterly stupid. "i don't wanna inconvenience the actual father of my child that obviously loves and treasures him, so I'm gonna prevent him from exercising his parental rights and the opportunity to be a father, steal his child from him, and marry someone who doesn't even love me or the child"











the story is cute, but like it's really a case of "mmmh how can i make this huge age feel okay? past life romance? check. what else can i add? hoe and what if i made the older woman act like a child and the younger guy act more mature so mentally they seem like they'd fit together" bc she sure as hell doesn't act like a 40yo
