I know Camilla was instinctively hated because she wasn't the real Camilla but.. why was Ravi ignored? I love these stories where the heroine is doted on but cant help but feel like these stories have a kind of "positive" misogyny if that makes sense. If MC was a man, they likely wouldn't care for her as much. It feels like daughters are seen as harmless, helpless little creatures that need protecting and sons are only competition to each other.. like the only reason Ravi was neglected is probably bc Ludville is the "true" son and objectively stronger. I feel like the author intends Ravi to be "healed" by Camilla's acknowledgement of him but that doesnt address the fundamental issue. Overall I love this story tho and I'm atleast glad Camilla shows clear favouritism to Ravi lol its so nice how she thinks of him before anyone else
Exactly.
ooh you hate with thissss. I am reading a book called the talented squirrel and the way the fl is treated as to her brothers is soo weirddd. This happens in so many books that centre sibling relationships too. The brother would sent off to war, never receive love from their father but the sister will be doted on and protected.
Also thinking of dropping that one. I don't like these manhuas that introduce the ML early on and make him the MC's protector. It's exhausting and creepy.
the fact their dad keeps calling her “my baby” makes me want to kms acc
oh I dropped that manhwa.
the way they doted on her kinda too cringey to my liking. lol
I want to see more that they worried about the Male... Not always the female... It also makes me cringe
I love Laria's relative indifference and even tho she schemes a lot, she's actually genuinely kind and empathetic. I don't blame her for trying not to be attached to him but Evan's backstory is making me tear up ):
FL is just a standard shoujo protagonist and shes meant to be in her 30s? Idk why manga romances still do the timid FL who blushes at everything. She just got cheated on but new man looks at her: blush, badump. Says her name: blush, badump. Like girl??
IKR. I’m kind of thinking maybe in the next few chapters will see some progress with it making “josei”
No i think rather than FL's personality josei refers to the audience and again i agree this should be a shoujo bc she doesnt act her age and this feels like teen love thanks to her. but i'm guessing its bc there might be some sexual references and images on next episodes and shoujo has more strict rules but idk
You're probably right, considering the setting sexual themes are inevitable but it would be nice if josei wasn't just shoujo with smut. Do older women really want to read ab a FL who is completely at the whims of a man?
As a girl who is old enough no not really. And im 22 so im guessing the older i get the less i will like it
I'm 26 and can confirm, it was never cute but is even less cute the older you get hahaha this is largely why I only read manga for action series, bc romance is so far behind vs korean webtoons and manhua
I love an OP MC but I really hate the "might makes right" setting here. What is the point of the social hierarchy when literal SERVANTS can blatantly talk shit to your face?? Even a weak Duke's daughter shouldn't be treated that way. Even the ML wouldnt care ab her if she wasnt OP. Also there are so many contradictions.. apparently being weak means you lose your nobility? But then Sedin is strong but treated badly for being a commoner. Alte dislikes her bc he sees her as pampered and spoiled but fails to see that everyone in and outside of their home is allowed to disrespect her? Please just have the FL wipe them all out at this point.
Yeah this story is just uh...not that good. The arts cute and I'm reading for the male lead mostly and cause I want to see the three constellations but other than that eh,not that gorundbreaking or interesting
Pretty obvious the brother has loved FL since childhood. I feel like he's going to start begging her and saying he only tried to bring her down so they could be equal/together OR that his plan was to get her kicked out, become the Duke's successor and then force her to marry him lol whatever those pining looks are, they are not brotherly
Damn its like going down a checklist. They just got married and now shes probably pregnant lol
That's the thing tho.. they're not married yet. Her father is gonna kill him lol
I think the Dad will wanna kill him anyway lol
I feel like we just brushed over that one of them literally stabbed Ellie with no hesitation at all. I know she was posessed but while everyone else was in shock and didnt want to hurt her, he just was like immediate shank lol now they're all happy family again like it never happened ??
well depending it’s a fantasy novel she probably healed up quick with one of the guys of wtv it’s not that complicated
Its not really about her physical condition. If someone who "loves" you stabbed you, would it be okay aslong as you healed? Its more about the emotional impact. Hope this helps!
In the flashbacks, it always shows him rejecting ogFL and talking about his lost love who he isnt over.. how did FL interpret that to mean he loved ogFL? There seems to be no explicit mention of him loving her and its super obvious she used the Temple/Holy Knights to control him lol
I think she interprets him dying for her as him expressing love for her. It's dumb and she shouldn't feel guilty for changing for "stealing" him when if she didn't it would lead to his death she's just being super dumb honestly. But I can be surprised since in her first life her husband killed her as she was trying to get his affection.
