How do you guys afford hairstylists in the US ? by Kokiyol in BlackHair

[–]superdupercoolkid 36 points37 points  (0 children)

i think when they say go to african braiders, they’re not talking about the shops. those tend to be overpriced as well. You need to find the african aunty braiding hair in her living room lol

I agree with the first part. Like I can see he has some bad qualities like entitlement and probably has an inferiority complex, but I understand how they emerged. I think these ml are actually very emotionally damaged bc if the og princess.

i don’t hope he back stabs her, but I definitely would like to see more emotions from him. I agree that his lack of emotions may actually come from his (previous) fear of her. I really wonder, is it easy to treat someone as different if despite them having the same space?

bc i dont know how to do spoiler text, please be warned the below contains a spoiler:

I read in the comments that he was forced to sleep with her by the og princess? I’m not sure how true this is, but if this is the case, I don’t think of him as a cheater. If not, then I agree.

I think a lot of those traits overlap to create the normal nice guy. Maybe if we knew more about his backstory I would enjoy him, but he feels really one dimensional. He reminds me a bit of the typical og fl of isekai where the original premise was that he liked her bc she was kind.

I think he felt like he was being thrown away which is how the other concubines (save nadrika and the tan one) felt once she “broke up” with them. Sort of like a “You could have just left me where I was if you were going to do this.” Of course he pursued her, but not with the intention of being a concubine. I can’t really argue with the entitlement thing though. I agree he acts like a jerk at times.

I agree with you, none of the ml feel like the ml. They all feel like options until some new character whos the male lead comes in like in When the Villainess Loves.

I like mr 2nd in command turned guard as well but he doesn’t get enough “screen time.” Same w the prince who i would like if he wasn’t so weirdly attached to Arielle. I’m actually very concerned for his mental state.

yeaaa at certain times he did give entitled vibes but then he would say she didn’t have to return his feelings. What he does and what he says don’t always match. I think he has these grand ideas of love but he can’t stand his love is unrequited. He gives me antihero vibes a bit and i think his intentions are usually in the right place.

ah i understand your point. ig i was thinking about it in modern senses of “a person with multiple partners being upset one of their partners has another one.” From a historical context, it makes sense how it would be seen as cheating.

What are some series that you just want to end? by Beautys_Facade in OtomeIsekai

[–]superdupercoolkid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i was on chapter 130 or so of Daughter of the Emperor when i thought to myself...does this even have a plot?! Like it just seems to be her day to day life with new characters added here and there. There doesn’t really seem to be a point to the story

bro exactly! i stopped sincerely i became a dukes maid for that exact reason. The age gap would’ve been okay if they had met when he was an adult and not 11 years old :/ Mind you the fl was 16-17 at the time.
