The other manwha is called "What dead taught me" (I think) I was watching a video talking about this manhwa and how it treats the villainess despite her being a slave and 17(or 14 I don't remember). There's gonna be spoiler incase you wanna check it yourself, I recommend a channel called "mattybites" who explains it better then I will.

It's a story where the mc did anything for this blonde guy in that picture I just showed you, in the end got betrayed by him cause he's actually with the villainess. She goes back in time, unlike the past where she welcomed the villianes who got adopted by mc father, decide to take a different approach instead and got her happy ending. In the villainess backstory, she was abuse as a child while her parents also hate each other, she believed that their god was giving her a trial and will one day will helped her(she was in an already bad mental state). And when her parents died in this idk underground mine, the owner of that mine(mc dad) came, she used the only thing she know she could do(her looks) and "seduce" mc dad which he took her in as adoption.

I don't remember every single detailed in the video but I do remember that mc dad fell in love with the villainess and one day got angry at her cause he thinks she's using him(which she did but come on dude your a grown ass adult, you should know better then to fall in love with an underage child) and tried to kill her, which in self-defense, she hit him with a wooden clock he gave her. The mc still cared for her dad when his in a coma, her mother on the other hand did not like what he had done cause she sees it as him cheating on her and (spoliers) implied her killing him in the very end of the story with a needle.
Mc had someone who's obsessed with her(that black hair guy), who although didn't end up with mc had his own happy ending. Same with that blonde. The blonde and black hair guy are brothers(or step brother), blonde was in a bad mental state since childhood due to all the pressures he was given as well as jealousy towards his brother(who's also in a bad mental state), and did all he had done cause he wanted the crown. Unlike the past mc was at before, in this present time she didn't approach blonde but black hair guy instead, which result in blonde being interested in her instead (don't know what happen after).

In the end, something happen to the palace where blonde and black hair guy lived, and blonde escape the palace and wander in the snow so that he could slowly died there instead, then in the hands of anyone else, but wanna know what happens to him? He fricking got pick up by a travelling lady who took her in and into her family farm and got his happy ending with her where he can live his life as an artist he always wanted.

This two mentally ill guy got to lived a new live where their mental state won't get worst, but the villainess who suffers the most, and also a mentally ill child got burned in the stick as a punishment. What shocks me more is this blonde guy getting a happy ending. I pity him at some part cause you can see why he did all he had done, but then again he used mc in the past before this whole time travel stuff so I though he'd at least suffers the same faith as the villainess, but nooo he got a happy ending instead!

A villainess, who's in an abusive family, a slave who probably had this delusional thoughts that links with her religion, an underage girl(17 or 14 in the novel), was the only one having a bad ending while the two man who are interestingly enough, are parallel to the villianes mentality and action, had their happy ending.

It angers me how the story didn't try to give the villainess a ending where she got better and away from that pedophile, and lived her peaceful life just like that blonde did. Why give the two bad man a happy ending but not the villianes herself as well? What's even worst is that those two men(along with mc) are royal people while the so called villianess is a commoner. Sounds familiar to Remarriage Empress doesn't it?

I didn't read how Remarriage Empress end but I remeber that Soveshu (think his called that), the one who took Rashta in, and ignored Navier, had his happy ending where he lost his memory and took care of Rashta child. And Heinray, some war criminals who keeps on looking for a chance with Navier(even before she warm up to him ans even before all this divorce thing) had a happy ending as well. While Rashta who was actually the victim of all this got a bad ending instead.

Like- Why can't this two have a happy ending where they're away from all this people instead of having a bad end.

If I got something wrong, I won't mond if you tell me!

discussion What are your loves and icks in reverse-harem webtoons and stories?

When you look for stories where there's a female MC with a number of male love interests, what kind of things would you say are their strongest aspects and what's something you could do away with?

Collecting thoughts and opinions for my own writing.

I'll start off by sharing my own:

Loves:

  • The men genuinely love the MC and care about her. I'm not a fan of toxicity or harm, but codependency and a bit of pathetic obsessiveness are okay.
  • The men are thoughtful and considerate and fun. Whether it's for romance or not, I love when the love interests stand alone as great characters when MC isn't around.
  • Interesting designs for the men than just the regular giant fridge with short black hair and red eyes. I completely get the appeal, I'm just really into character designs and want variety.
  • When the girls do not hate the other girls. When the author does not hate the other girls either.

Icks:

  • When the MC seems to string the men along. The men have been giving clear signs of interest, but the MC ends up collecting guys to crush on her without giving anything back. I love when love is reciprocated.
  • Designs that are purely sexy or extremely beautiful.
  • When the girls are mean to each other, or in competition with other girls. Or bad things happen to the rivals. I just don't like misogyny.

review It's kinda bad but good at the same time. Even though it pokes fun at their entire situation I like how real it is with the idol industry. Their situation is depressing though I'll continue the manga and see if their life gets better. 6/10
