Did we need this? Feels like filler to the plot we didn’t need when people wanted season two to get to the face off finally
These chapters appear quite clearly to be set up so that we can be told WHY time needed to be turned back. In any case I think we need those answers. Don't know why we wouldn't need to know that tbh.
I noticed there’s a calm trope in media “The abuser isn’t that bad trope” it’s in a ton of anime and manga. Where a character is abused by a parent or sibling but the trauma of the victim is just used as angst as to why a character acts a certain way and nothing more. Just for the story to then focus on their abuser and give them a sort of redemption arc.
There’s many forms of this whether it be a parent, bulky, or love interest. Characters (usually men) show unforgivable abusive behavior just for the story to go out of its way to validate their violent behavior with a “jerk with a heart of gold mindset”
Yep I thought it was only in yaoi but the more I read these villain reincarnated shoujo stuff I see it a lot
Anyone know any bls without rape or a toxic relationship? All the ones with clout suck

I DONT CARE ABOUT THE PAST GOD DAMMIT we already know Joseph was best sweet boi and Dad is asshole
Speaking of which. This is off topic but the dad’s redemption arc so far is pretty weak is that just me? “If this was a female mother character who treated her daughter like this could you forgive her?” The answer was no.
He is very similar to Claude from “Who Made me a Princess” in being a parent to neglect, and ultimately kill the protagonist. Claude by comparison is extremely well written from beginning to end in his arc of redemption.
This father however isn’t written to be rooted for, the author wants us to like him but ultimately it isn’t making us grow to cherish and care for his growth like in the instance of Claude. I’m rambling but has anyone else noticed that?
I’ve read a lot of reincarnation stories and I mean a lot. I really love ones with well written redemption buts it hard to write so it’s rare that it makes a point. Usually it’s “Sorry I abused you for decades of you child and adult life” with no real force behind their change as a person. I hope the story chooses not for redeem the father or give us something to root for bc neglect is abuse. It’s even more prevalent and heartbreaking I’m the novel that he was plainly cruel. At first I wanted to cut him some slack but I thought to myself
I completely agree with you bc I also thought of the same thing.
