The Abandoned Empress
As someone who kept coming back to this despite having dropped it several times (like a victim to their abuser lol), my opinion on this has never changed since the first time I dropped it. It's shit. Honestly. The worst thing is that this had such amazing potential. I love angst and I love redemption arcs (I'm a serious Kylo Ren fan if that says anything lol) and I love character whump as much as the next person. But this thing made me physically ill. TRIGGER WARNING: SHE GOT WITH HER ABUSER & RAPIST IN THE END. A friendly reminder that no, having had an abusive past does not excuse you from committing abusive acts against someone. He literally had her killed. I would have understood if MC's 1st life was her being an utter deserving b*tch. BUT NO. He used her, then later raped her when they were married JUST BECAUSE, and then had her killed. WTF. THIS IS SHIT.
Abandoned wife has a new husband.
WHAT THE ACTUAL MISOGYNISTIC PIECE OF SHIT IS THIS??? I mean it doesn't have to be perfect and there is some misogyny expected in most shoujo works but this just crossed the line of unnecessary misogyny just like in "They Say I Was Born A King's Daughter" FUCK THIS SHITASS STORY
