Henkyou Mobu Kizoku no Uchi ni Totsuidekita Akuyaku Reijou ga, Mechakucha Dekiru Ii Yome nandaga? - Vol. 3 Ch. 14

[Tymo]

Ragna is such a lapdog for his girl

 

[jokerxhisoka]

???? His immediate reaction to the insult was whether he should kill the prince or not and only didn't because it would be perhaps a bad idea to kill royalty. He then didn't step in because his fiancee stopped him so she could handle it herself. She's not just a victim to be protected, she wanted to defend herself and he let her.

and just like the previous chapter, he did nothing. No balls.

 

[Narehate]

and just like the previous chapter, he did nothing. No balls.

He’d be stupid as hell to do it are you joking?

He could have done anything besides standing there like a good doggy.

 

[ICryWhenIFart]

Bruh the prince isn't officially on the train! If we can't commit lese majeste for that reason, he can apologize for that same reason.

 

[Narehate]

Tell me what he should’ve done when Alicia stood up for herself then. In your ideal story does the Gigachad Gary Stu MC step in and say “no” to her and solve her problems for her instead of allowing her character growth?

Letting Alicia do her thing was fine, but he should've had a plan for when it failed. And frankly, Alicia did fail; the dipshit Prince only backed down because Mariana was willing to risk summary execution to get through to him.

This is a society where duels are a thing. After all, that's how Patricia and the Prince got away with burning Alicia's face in the first place.

Ragna has more and better options than (1) stand there like a lump or (2) blindly lash out.

Ragna is a hammer that has the ability to turn his problems into nails. He's a complete schmuk if he isn't keeping that (and possibly other options, it really shouldn't be on the readers to figure out Ragna's options) on the table, especially when he knows he, his fiance, and their commoner friend are all being targeted by idiots, psychopaths, and idiot psychopaths.

She did so great that the other girl had to step in, while the protagonist was there looking like a doormat.

I agree with a lot of what you said but we really don’t know if Alicia would have succeeded or not because Mariana stepped in before she even got to respond, and because Mariana stepped in we don’t even know if Ragna had a backup plan or not — he ended up not needing one. i.e. handwringing about whether or not he should have done something is meaningless because he ended up not needing to do anything in the first place. We’re arguing about a potential future that never happened.

See above.

Really do love trains in these kinds of stories. And it honestly doesn’t seem too out of place in terms of tech development either. Really the only missing tech so far I can think of would be guns, but that’s another can of worms that most authors don’t usually want to deal with.

 

[bait10]

Wtf? he complains about sense of superiority when getting informed royalty SHOULDNT be in this carriage, then also not apologize cause he's ROYALTY.

Breaking norms as royalty, then playing the royalty card and not apologize be some bs.

 

[lupus_in_fabula]

Well I give the Prince points for conceding here. I still think he is an idiot but he is at least not actively "trying" to be malicious. That at least gives him a "chance" ... though I also assume he is not smart enough to utilize it.

Frankly, looks like he's just incredibly sheltered. When confronted with the reality of the situation by a witness that's not in his usual circle, he immediately conceded and admitted fault as graciously as his station allows him to. His intentions are good, but he's naive and (in part maliciously) ill informed. He needs to know how the world he's in actually works.

 

[Xonthelon]

But it wouldn't be hard to track him (Reminder he's going to Brave Territory BECAUSE of a "Certain Girl's suggestion) so yes it would be figured out (You don't want him DYING or "going missing" as Ragna would be held responsible as the Lord of that Territory even if it was the Prince's fault! for suffering either or BOTH of those listed fates!)

Well, the prince is just annoying, so removing him was meant as just a joke. But there are other antagonists who plainly stated their evil designs on his fiancée and the MC decided to... do nothing.

 

[pachingching]

BRO FUCK THE KINGDOM UP! THIS GASLIGHTING BITCH IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUTURE KING AND HE ACTS LIKE A SHITHEAD?!

BURN IT THE FUCK DOOOOOWN!

 

[RollOmega]

"Ragna sucks because he respected his fiancée's wishes, he would have been way better if he did what she explicitly didn't want him to do" is a hell of a take.

 

[jokerxhisoka]

"Ragna sucks because he respected his fiancée's wishes, he would have been way better if he did what she explicitly didn't want him to do" is a hell of a take.

Yet here are you all praising the other girl for "disrespecting the FMC wishes". He sucks because he was disrespected in two chapters in a row, but the only thing he did was think "I could do this, I could do that". When he shown and resemblance of taking action, he stood there like a good dog because his wife told him so. Like some delusional teenager that thinks what he could do, but in the end just cowers in the corner.

So she woke up from fainting, got in front of the prince, slapped him, talked a lot, but somehow the protagonist didn't have time to do anything.

This has nothing to do with Mariana, which is why I didn't comment on her. Ragna did what his fiancée asked him to do, because he respects her. Speaking as someone that's married, if I was confronted by someone else with whom I have a very personal problem, a problem about which I am far more informed than my spouse is, I ask my spouse to let me handle it, and my spouse ignores me and tries to do something about it, I'm looking into divorce proceedings as soon as the situation is resolved. If I can't trust my spouse in a situation like that, I can't trust them at all.

If my spouse really wants to help me out in situations like that, I appreciate the sentiment, and we can talk about what to do in the future after the present is taken care of.

I will say that, from what I remember, this is actually my main criticism of him while reading the WN. That is, that his mind always goes toward killing. He says it's just the way of the brave territory but he takes it too far. It's too much to insist that a school tournament match has to be a death battle, even when it's against his friend. It's his go-to course of action and he's way to willing to act on it. It honestly put me off of the novel a bit.

Omg he rEsPectss her and her fetish of humiliating herself and also humiliating him indirectly.
