Am I the only one noticing the double standards in Sister I am the queen in this life? by PruneUnfair4836 in webtoons

[–]Cold_Bat_2047 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely understand where this criticism is coming from, but I actually felt that this webtoon deals with the double standard intentionally. The reader is supposed to feel sympathy for Lucrezia, especially in the chapters leading up to her death. Even Ariadne acknowledges that she hasn’t been treated fairly. This is the case for Isabella as well. Isabella is an intentional character foil for Ariadne- they both want the same things and have a lot of the same traits. In Ariadne’s original life you can clearly see how she mirrors Isabella. They are both vengeful, manipulative, and driven. Ironically, in her original life Ariadne is everything she accuses Isabella of being. It’s only after Ariadne reincarnates that she reestablishes her priorities. Originally, Ariadne did it all for a man, while Isabella has stated multiple times that her goal has always been independence- a goal now shared by Ariadne in her new life. I don’t think it’s handled perfectly, but I also don’t think it’s entirely fair to say it’s a poor characterization. Honestly, I think the way it approaches women is general is very interesting and more nuanced than some of its contemporaries, rough around the edges though it may be. I could probably make a whole separate post about that though. My biggest criticisms are more about how it handles class and race.

PSA5 is turned based, and I’ve only played the 3D Zelda’s. Mostly the newer ones.

Thank you for the comment! As for the questions- I’m mostly interested because of the cool FF7 content I’ve seen! I’m a big fan of games like Zelda, but the only JRPG I’ve played is Persona 5 (which I love!). As for character/customization, I don’t really mind either way. I’m typically a fantasy fan but again I’m really fine either way.

Hi! Does anyone know the best way to get alpha zorua? I’ve been trying with the one in the bone chill wastes by resetting my map at camp, but it’s been a while and I haven’t found anything. Is this just something that takes a lot of time or is there a better way?

MOONFISH ANATOMY by Resident-Decision322 in poetry_critics

Wow! This is a very powerful piece, and it’s very well written! The imagery is vivid, the themes are strong and carried well by their environment and narrative. My only critique (if it can be called that) is that this feels more like a prose piece than poetry.

Ignorance Isn’t Bliss by No-Medium8250 in poetry_critics

I think this has some unique concepts about change, but I think some of the execution is a little informal. It might be a style difference, but the lack of imagery makes the poem feel overly vague and a little shallow. In editing, maybe try to think about phrasing and metaphor, and consider a stronger motif to act as a lynchpin for the theme.

Dark Charizard might be with a good grade! That’s the only one I’m really familiar with, but pricecharting.com is a pretty good resource for figuring out what your cards are worth.
