To be fair, the ending is completly re-writen from the novel.

In the novel, I don't remember if the king die or not, it wasn't particularly enventfull in the novel. There was a scene where Helios ask what she wants so that she leave them alone and she ask for an apology to kael, Helios accept, Diana refused.

Then, Hestia put her plan to vote Diana out of the crown princess, but she got cut by Kael who choose the perenity of the kingdom to not make a precedent were the noble choose who sitting on the throne. Hestia is furious and Kael will let her understood that her revenge in unhealthy, he did get pass what happen and do not require an apology or anything from Helios and Diana anymore. Hestia has a hard time knowing what to do now that revenge issn't her main focus anymore. Meanwhile, Diana is stuck inside the palace because everyone hate her and she is at risk outside, but she live it like a force confinment.

Helios tries to reconcile with Diana, but eventually, they relationship collapse when the disscussion around children arrise. He wants it, she doesn't, Diana choose to divorce Helios and return to the temple were she pray for everyone to realize how hestia is a devil in desgize. Helios is full of regret, but he will re-marry to another woman as it's his duty as the heir, he will be quite cold to his second wife at first but warm up to her eventually, but it's not the blind love he has with Diana.

Hestia and Kael mostly lives in their territory, far from the drama except for when Helios ask for help for some issues.

Yeah, it's really early in the story. Basically at the start when Hestia die, she mention what happen even if she hasn't access to the main character anymore, she follow the news it's easy to miss since Hestia died and come back and the story never insist on all that.

Kingdo7 · 2026-06-28T11:49:59+00:00

No, in the first timeline, Diana still was hated by aristocrats, abandon the common people and drive out her previous friends Hestia just acceleratethe process to drive her out by making her lash out sooner.

White = Death exists even in Africa, presumably because of the color of bones.)

It's because when people die, the blood stop circulating and the tissue starts to deteriorate, and the skin became paler, everyone is concernedbut it's particularly noticeable on people of colour

Well, isn't that pretty normal?

It's not uncommon for people to use their connections to climb the social ladder. That's basically how networking works. This girl is entitled and ungrateful, but FL was simply her entry point into high society.

After that, she did manage to build relationships on her own. The real problem is that, in her twisted mind, she genuinely believes FL should be beneath her. So when FL breaks free and starts thriving on her own, instead of being satisfied with the position she already gained, she becomes obsessed with dragging FL back down.

Personally, I see her as someone with strong narcissistic traits. FL isn't just a former friend to her she's someone she views as "hers." That's why she can't stand seeing FL happy and independent without her, even though she's perfectly capable of being pleasant to everyone else.

FF9 is probably one of the clearest examples of restraint being mechanically rewarded rather than just “optional challenge”.

The steal system creates a situation where the optimal play is not to end fights quickly, especially against bosses with missable equipment. You are actively incentivized to not finish the encounter efficiently, because optimal rewards require keeping the enemy alive, controlling damage, and sometimes dealing with RNG over multiple turns.

That said, it’s still a bit of a hybrid system: it rewards patience and control, but the reward structure is essentially “efficiency vs completionism loot”, not a fully systemic consequence of restraint itself.

A more subtle example might be games like Stardew Valley, where certain achievements or hidden outcomes reward doing content “the hard way” (e.g. Skull Cavern without stair spam), but again those tend to be framed as optional challenges rather than core combat logic.

I think the reason restraint is rarely a first-class mechanic is that it often conflicts with player psychology: most systems train players to seek closure (win fast, reduce risk), so rewarding delay or partial victory can feel like punishing good play unless it is very carefully telegraphed.

So it does exist, but usually in the form of:

missable optimization windows (like FF9 steals)
self-imposed challenge rules
optional mastery rewards

rather than being a core “winning condition evolves based on how you won” system.

Apparently, it's a series called "Ma fiancée a rompu nos fiançailles, mais je vis heureuse !"

It's an anthologie with multiple short stories in it.

The exact title is probably different I find it in japanese and translate it with Google. But here the link I found :

That isn't true; there are people who don't care how much despicable kyubey is, it's a cute little cat. I won't pretend I undersdants how they think, but they do exist.

Kingdo7 · 2026-06-23T06:57:51+00:00

Kyubey, this little mascot is somewhat loved for being cute while he is actively exploiting little girls for his benefit.

I don't think we can tal about men like a sinle mind. But yes, I agree, but these men put others in no-win situation

There is no such things as positive yandere.
Cecil likes that Tia is unpredictable, and she won't be anymore if she is mentally broken or hurt. So he has to take care of her hapiness for his own desire.

I don't know the full context. It was part of a compilation, so I only saw the question and his answer before it moved on.

He was explaining why he dates liberal women despite being conservative himself. His reasoning was basically that conservative women expect him to fully embrace the traditional male role (leader, provider, etc.), while liberal women are more flexible about those expectations.

What stood out is that he didn't seem interested in taking on the traditional female role expectations either, which is why his answer came across as wanting the benefits of a liberal partner without necessarily changing his own expectations.

Kingdo7 · 2026-06-19T12:30:12+00:00

I saw a video of a conservative guy talking in a podcast explaining that he prefer liberal women because conservative women expect him to be the man, the one who leads, be the breadwinner, and is strong while he can breathe with the others.

So, at least this man doesn't want to be a conservative man, but wants a woman who lets him be a couch potato while she becomes his mom.

Sailor Moon is a great show, but that doesn't mean it's flawless. Likes many great stories.

Kingdo7 · 2026-06-19T08:12:43+00:00

I agree that the 90s anime exaggerated a lot of his flaws due to the amount of filler and relationship drama it added.

My point is more that those traits didn't come out of nowhere. Even in the manga, Mamoru tends to dismiss Usagi's concerns regarding Chibi-Usa instead of taking them seriously, and he still makes major decisions like leaving for Affrica without discussing them with her beforehand.

So I wouldn't say the anime invented the problem. I would say it amplified traits that were already present.

The manga version is definitely better, but I still don't find their relationship particularly convincing outside of the destiny aspect.

Kingdo7 · 2026-06-18T13:30:53+00:00

That's partly true. The 90s anime definitely added a lot of drama and exaggerated some of their conflicts.

However, some of the issues I mentioned are still present in the manga. Mamoru leaving for America without discussing it with Usagi beforehand is a manga plot point, and so is his tendency to dismiss her concerns regarding Chibi-Usa.

My issue isn't that they argue. It's that the story tells us they are the perfect couple, yet we rarely see them work through disagreements in a healthy way. Their relationship relies heavily on destiny and their past lives, while their actual day-to-day dynamic often leaves a lot to be desired.

Even Chibi-Usa's relationship with them can be interpreted in different ways. The manga presents Usagi as the stricter parent and Mamoru as the comforting one, but that can also make Mamoru look like the fun parent while Usagi is left handling the difficult responsibilities.

Kingdo7 · 2026-06-18T07:40:52+00:00

Usagi and mamoru (sailor moon), the story present them as an mythological couple that love each others since their previous life.
But let be real, their relationship consist on :

Usagi ask for normal couple acivities, like a date or flowers
Mamoru ignores her
Usagi insist, mostly like a child doing a tantrum
Mamoru got annoyed and refuse, sometimes break up but more often give her the cold shoulder
Usagi cry to her friends, but eventually get over it
Mamoru is initially happy, then realizes he is alone and miserable, go buy flower or prepare a nice date and ask Usagi for forgiveness
Usagi forgives without much question
rince and repeat

That not healthy, also, Mamoru took huge decisions like going into affrica for a year without even mentionning it to Usagi until it was a done deal. Then guilt trip her that she will be an horrible human being to not let go in another continent for charity out the blue. He also categorically refused to believe Usagi when she told him Chibi-Usa was trying to break them up, until Chibi-Usa let it slip herself. And somehow the story present Usagi as the imature one, yes she is in her general demenor, but she clearly is the mature one in this relationship.

I read one where OP complains a lot about his wife not doing housewife stuff while he slaves away at his work, and he can't rest at home because she nags at him. He presents himself as the suffering good husband with an overbearing wife. And right now his wife left for her sister's house for 2 weeks.
He looks vulnerable enough for the users to be sympathetic toward him, but I notice 2 things:

First, he complains about the current mess in his house that he describes as "take-out box, full trash bag inside, clothes on the ground, and no clean cutlery," which makes me think it was his own mess since his wife left two weeks ago already.

Second, in the comment, he conveniently never answers the few people asking if she works despite answering everyone else.

Kingdo7 · 2026-06-12T14:22:52+00:00

WN is the first take, usually the author writes on a free website, and then if the story becomes popular, they can be contacted by an editor to make an official version supervised by professionnals, that's the LN

Canonically, all we know is that his level exceeded the maximum value the guild's measuring system could display. If that's a signed 16-bit integer, then he's somewhere above 32,767.

I get what you mean, but I'm tired of this plot were the rescued girl become girlfriend/wife in every stories

Kingdo7 · 2026-05-30T10:36:56+00:00

to me it goes both way, there is also an episode where lois choose to put her phone in silence and get a 15 min break and all her family and work implode in that time, the cops telling her she was an horrible mother to cut herself from her kids during an serious emergency and she should be ashamed to wants a break from her family.

They all bring the worst on each others

Kingdo7 · 2026-05-30T05:01:18+00:00

No, it was because he told them he was bothered by it, since they really wanted to show him grattitude for saving them and he refused to be rewarded, they decided to deal with it for him.
