I think it was funny that the empire joked about getting compensation from Ologos because the King was hesitating when fighting Nicana. However you can make the argument that Ologos and Dunamis could ask for compensation from the empire because of the king's negligence in handling his kingdoms affairs. Like it would have never gotten to this point if the king had acknowledged his sister's unhealthy obsession and did something about it. He is the root cause of this and I think he should have suffered more and gotten reprimanded from the other kingdoms more.
Does anyone remember a manwha with the same art style but its about a FL who lives 100 lives in order to make her brother happy, who is the lead in a BL manwha?
The Marius hate is understandable but it seems like people are overlooking his trauma. Maruis grew up fighting his siblings and other relatives for his throne. He grew up distrusting people. Then Rebecca shows up, puts him under a spell and makes him believe he is truly in love with her. He does vile things in pursuit of his love for her, which wasn't real. Then when news breaks out that they were under a spell and the love they thought they had was false, it was extremely damaging, considering Leopold's reaction to the guilt and shame from his actions was suicide. Marius who is the king couldn't follow the same footsteps if he wanted too. He instead had to make peace with his actions and the death of Leopold. Then Edgar who tries to save lillian (who is doing the correct thing), makes Marius come face to face with his actions can only be seen as a threat to the current worldview he created to protect himself. Obviously that pain he felt wouldn't go away even when he went back in time. Even if it was childish and immature of him to hold Edgar at a distance because of what he could become. It was Marius way of protecting himself, no matter how flawed his coping skills were. That is to say I dont disagree with the hate he has going for him right now. He hasn't done anything really to make us root for him or demonstrated how he has changed from his past self, but I'm not fond of seeing people dismiss his past traumas as insignificant
It's kinda crazy that in her first life she never wondered why he acted the way he did and chalked it up to his personality. Like you had to die to realize that he also has some trauma... like you didn't slowly pierce together the pieces before? Granted they are closer in this life than the one before
I'm sorry but I don't understand why everyone is so quick to believe the rumors about ruby?? You mean to tell me that in the interaction we both saw you didn't find her body language strange?? You didn't see how her hand was bent and how stiff she was?? Not to mention the fact that she was acting unusual just moments ago thus the reason you guys became spectators. Like none of that is clicking??!! I understand Elena's reason for acting the way she does because of the trauma she has endured but everyone else has no excuse. She has been the target of hate for months in a place she was supposed to feel comfortable in. This just confirms her fears that she doesn't belong anywhere. People who have been nice to her, turn on her the moment she gives way for their bias. They didn't even begin to think about how she would be feeling until Elena talked to them. They just wanted to support their bias of Ruby.
Am I the only one who finds the ML lacking? Like I find his looks and behavior just mediocre. Like he has his moments which I find cute, but overall it's just bland? Also the way he talks about the FL just isn't appealing to me, it's more like an object then a person. I also find Edgard more appealing since he gets to know anerose more as a person then an object for revenge? Idk I'd that makes sense. It just feels like the ML is leading the fl on but also isn't since he holds feelings for her it seems
I really don't have sympathy for the girl with the bob whose brother was attacked. She gonna do this whole "I didn't know, I'm sorry thing" and I'm not buying it. She had accused Al for years and had damaged him in several ways all because she didn't want to hear him out. I also understand that she was a child and so was her brother which made the situation even worse. But it wasn't strange to no one that no investigation was done and that Al wasnt questioned for his motive? Like if i was the parent of the child who had been abused i would have had that whole manor investigated and learned about Al's motive. Instead (this is what I remember) Al was just punished by the head of the house and that was it. I don't believe Al was made to apologize or anything ( correct me if I'm wrong). I understand that she was mad that Al got to continue his life while her brother lived with the consequences of the attack but as an adult instead of lashing out she should have been asking for reparations and justice. Instead she put her family and brother in a tense situation.
Idk if the author thought that this pov was going to change our minds and make use feel sympathy for the ML but it did nothing. The ML blames the fl for his feeling of inferiority, for his inability to communicate and for basically all the issues he has surrounding emotions when the fl has been nothing but a supportive character to him. Up until the rape which is inexcusable, the fl has supported everything the ML has done. She had put up with his intolerance and lily's bullying despite her heavy feelings for him. She has even changed her behavior once she realized the ML became annoyed with her behavior. The ML feels like those alpha males who swear women are after their money, eventhough the whole time said women doesn't even care. The ML is so emotional stunted that I'm surprised he's allowed to ruin a country. I hope that the fl faces reality and leaves him like she should of done at the beginning of this manga.
This whole story could be solved if the ML was likeable and smart. Instead he's such an asshole with no thoughts. Just jello in his head. How does he find fault with the FL ( her sa of the ML was wrong) when her actions were responses of his. He has consistently been irregular to her since childhood, yet she had to trust him when it came to his relationship with Lilly. She has never felt secure in their relationship and it's completely normal to hold doubt considering his indifference to him. I hate that people around him find this to be this "oh he's just a fool in love" character when he isnt. A fool in love would be observant, loving and affectionate. He hasn't demonstrated a fragmant of interest in her at all.
The mc is truly idealist and I honestly can't bring myself to like her. She wants to make Fleta a proud member of the royal family, but that's the last thing Fleta wants. Fleta wanted to be cared for, to be treated as family. How is become a royal member going to grant her wishes? Especially, when the mc's sister hates her and the father plays favorites? Since the MC is a princess her world revolves around being part of the royal family and I think that's her downfall. She can't see outside the bubble she was raised in, that's what caused the downfall of the empire in the first place. The royal family is so focused on their lives and greed that they didn't care about others. I think the mc should let fleta live with her uncle and atleast explain the situation to her. She can't provide for Fleta in the way she needs and Fleta will only be harmed in that environment.
