Married Thrice to Salted Fish Chapter 87 Discussion

I feel betrayed by this seriously high amount of good reviews towards this story. The story was good at the beginning with the main couple scheming their way towards the annoying members of their current in law family was enjoyable as the mc's motive and reasoning for resentment towards them was within logic and acceptance. Until later on, he went too far at times.

The fact that he decieved and manipulated the shadow guard into killing the crown prince who he love, who thought of him as friend felt way too much for me. Especially how the crown prince originally didn't even kill the shadow guard's family in the first place, it wouldn't have been this bad if the author had the crown prince actually killing the shadow guard's family to make the revenge justified as well as MC making the shadow guard doing so didn't feel as immoral. I don't mind it if he schemed towards people who deserves it, but don't involve people who don't deserve it. You could just imagine how hurt he was by it.

Another major point that bothered me was how judgemental MC is, especially towards the fourth prince who was simple minded and naive. Like not everyone needs to be a shitty person like you. My disliking towards the MC grew worse when I heard about what the MC and the ML did towards the fourth prince and his half brother.

Everything MC and ML did feels excessive at times even towards the people who are considered to have wrong them, it feels like I am reading two villains with a protagonist buff at this point.

What bothered me the most as well was how easily the crown prince and there was barely details on it, and how things with his shadow guard just ended there, they were just one of the characters who existed in order to promote the main couple when they were originally the main protagonist. Even if the author excused them with the reason of they already have their spotlight with their past novel, the way things had led to felt too cheap with how bad the protagonist buff is with his death considering how it was portrayed that he was supposed tot be hard to get rid of with his novel protagonist buff. Maybe he was actually still alive and that I just dropped early but seeing how no one mentioning them, I guess the story of the shadow guard and the crown prince simply ended there.

I don't mind a villainous MC that are bad as long as it all written realistically where his actions are held accountable to some degree but no since everything he does is considered right because he's the protagonist so even if he manipulates and hurt innocent people for his own benefit, it's all good cause he's the protagonist here. So, everything is just aligning towards the main couple's intent, it was all that easy.

Honestly, I really did enjoy the novel at first until several innocent people are manipulated for the mc's use. The ML was also refreshing to read at first but now he's just as bad as the MC.
