The Grand Princess Chapter 198 Discussion

MC is tr*sh character, but a great story nonetheless.

It's a great story. The male lead (ML) CARRIES this story on his back. This may be a biased perspective from a guy, as I feel a female won't see the same issues I see with this story.

The ML is amazing. His internal dialogue and struggles are captivating and feel somewhat realistic. However, after reading this story I CANNOT stop daydreaming about an alternate timeline/novel where the ML does not choose the MC (FL), and instead finds a FL that respects and loves him.

The main character (FL) is not worthy of the male lead. Simple as that. The author themselves confirm this at the end, I guarantee you. That's why I say for females this is probably a great read, but for guys although you will enjoy it, you will be beating your head against the wall asking why there is no other love interest for the ML, that he can find solace in. He is an amazing guy, super thoughtful, but also realistically rash and emotional. He feels like the only REAL character in the whole story tbh. And to have him mindlessly in love with this MC who is soooo emotionally underdeveloped, is just heartbreaking. GRANTED her personality is realistic for the environment she grew up in. She doesn't make 'real' connections as she grew up in royalty where it's all kind of fake relationships that are also deadly, however this leads to her developing a sh*t personality in her first life, and 90% of her second life.

Spoiler for why she doesn't deserve him below:

Once reincarnated, the ML looks at his mistakes and choices, and re-evaluates them all. He doesn't become genius right away, but through struggling and self-reflection he realizes his own negative qualities and works to change them. This starts for our ML around like chapter 1, and it's a continuous growth while debating which path to take. This happens for our FL around the 2nd to last chapter, like chapter 165. ALL throughout the novel, the FL does not recognize her feelings shoving them down instead. She also makes ML jealous by connecting with her past 'lover' in first life, and doing s*upid ass stuff like calling a harem of men to entertain her for the night. Ya really... She is just a bit*h for 160 chapters, hurting the ML the whole time, and in the last few chapters she realizes all her mistakes and gives one apology, so now their a happy family of course. what bulllllllshiittttttt. That's why I think this novel is too gender oriented. The FL is upset that the ML thought he loved another girl in his first lifetime. HE NEVER laid hands on her, or made romantic advances, he was just like a friend. So FL decides to cuckold him by having a male eunuch (no pen*s so no sex) servant that she makes out with and has an 'emotional connection' towards.

Also to those saying they were rooting for the 2nd ML.... damn.... How can you be so... insane.... that guy has 0, nada, none, character development, and his character is SHITTY from the start to the end... Soooo shitty... in comparison to ML.

Why the 2nd ML is tr*sh:

Spoiler

The only reason to like this guy, is because he was described as wealthy (wealthy origins, like amazing family) and he is somewhat smart. He also 'understands' MC (FL) feelings pretty well, but he doesn't act to help her, instead he uses this knowledge to actually make her life much worse. In both lifetimes. So I don't personally see any positive qualities. He is a HONEYTRAP, he took advantage of female at her lowest emotional state, for his own political purposes. He may have liked her eventually, but not enough to not kill her haha, what a JOKE. so not that much. And he still has this perspective in second life, and you guys STILL want him to win??? f*cking insane.... I feel like some people just want to go against the grain for the sake of it.. or they wanna see FL die again.

Realistically think about what he did in the first lifetime (and even second). He is a POS. He acted as a honeypot and assassin for the princess, destroying the possibility of a relationship between FL and ML. After doing this, HE KILLS THE FEMALE LEAD (MC). He kills her, and blames it on the husband so that she kills him. This right there is enough for me to say f*ck him, no redemption necessary, he's done, goneso. But for some reason FL doesn't care that much now that she realizes it was him and not her husband. when it was her husband she was PISSED though..... so s*upid...

The reasoning for why she is close to the 2nd ML is because they both have the same emotional distrust of others, so neither fully fall in love, as their more concerned about politics... that's just not convincing.... It makes for a really shitty couple though that's for sure. Where they are constantly lying to each other and willing to kill the other person to advance their political goals... And some readers still ship the 2nd ml.... Anyone who ships the 2nd ML should delete their novel updates account, or at least stop leaving reviews.

I ship the 2nd ml, ONLY IF the ML could have another girl. Then the ML would actually be respected and loved, and those 2 psychopaths could love and eventually kill each other. That would've made this novel 10/10 for me.
