Its quite hilarious how little empathy people have towards ruby lmao

To be fair I assume part of the issue is story being poorly adapted, I would imagine the original novel does a way better job at making her sympathetic cause she's a walking ball of mental issues

It also doesn't help that a lot of readers are extremely emotionally immature and possibly mildly psychopaths, so many times I've seen people making braindead comments that protagonist should just kill anyone that gets in their way or other stupid actions

Hell, there's one isekai where dude has crafting powers and he wants to make a train so him and his friend can easily go between two cities so she can go to magic university while they stay working as adventures, a few people basically saying mc should just tell the noble to fuck off, build the train tracks in his land + through the mountains because fuck any possible consequences

The sad reality is that a lot of readers have low emotional and intellectual IQ and believe the protagonist should just freely kill or do anything they want because they're the protagonist, especially if they're overpowered

When it comes to half of manga readers media literacy is just not one of their skills, example, whining about sad backstory as if it's excusing a character actions when it's just explaining why they're like that

Also to everyone saying dropping this, pls do, hopefully we don't see you guys next ch(we will)

For all their bitching they just can't drop mangas like this, deep down they enjoy it but are too tsundere to admit, cue various posts about how bad it is.

Guys, you're not convincing anyone when you come post every single chapter ok?

I still don't want Ruby to be harmed dawg. She needs to grow and change as a person.

According to weebs if you're bad you don't deserve empathy or second chance even if you actually had a life shitty enough to justify it

Hell I remember some people calling for the death of a child because he's a shitty brat even though we see he was treated as worthless trash his whole life due being child of a mistress

You can't expect much of some manga readers unfortunately

 

[Wolvenworks]

Oh don’t you dare forgive her, Lloyd. You need to get over your abusive ex-boss. Don’t Stockholm yourself into this.

 

[Scipo0419]

Ah yes the bully cf still needs her redemption arc, our goody 2 shoes mc absolutely has to go after her to save her and forgive her (even though she never felt an ounce of remorse) instead of making progress with his beautiful saint gf
I bet somehow they’ll end protecting that demon cf from the saint hero even
Thanks for the translation

Well, what if her redemption arc included feeling remorse? Right now, both she and Lloyd feels they're the ones who's right without even trying to see where the other person is coming from. Lloyd has his own faults in this situation and, while they're not as bad as Ruby's, he still should take accountability for not talking with her about how she was treating him and running away instead. He had plenty of opportunities to open up to her about his treatment and refused to do so, and while she absolutely should have realized what a jerk she was being she also didn't want to lose her best and only friend and wanted them to live better than when they were orphans.

You actually see this a lot in parents who were raised poor focusing solely on the money and not on their child's emotional happiness, a cheap meal of butter rice/noodles may be nd Ruby did the childhood friend equivalent.

 

[SuperBigMac]

If he thinks she ain’t that bad after all

He definitely still thinks she's bad and deserves punishment, but there's a difference between death doled out by a random Hero Saint and him finally getting closure by her crimes being brought to light and her being thrown in jail for the rest of her life.

I know this is a fictional manga, but even the worst criminal needs to have their rights. If criminals don't have rights, then suddenly there's a very, very thin line between you having rights, and those rights being revoked. All the people in power need to do is decide you're a criminal, even if they have no evidence.

I'll be disappointed if they try to redeem her to the point of getting off scot-free, but her getting any amount of punishment other than "a swift death after one fight" would be good imo.

The Spirit Dragon looks like Porunga had a baby with a Face-Hugger. Nasty!

What, it's just Blue Dragon seen from behind?

 

[CountryMage]

how pops told me what was like when he went to school
View attachment 24876

They didn't have paper back in those days, so what she's carrying there are her textbooks and homework, she had a book report to do too so that's a couple more logs.

 

[outinthegardener]

Regarding Ruby and forgiveness/redemption: Lloyd is an excessively kind person. He is positive and optimistic, always trying to see the good in his situation. It's how he grew up into a hard working and respected person, while Ruby took her negativity in the opposite direction. Llyod is too kind because he let Ruby walk all over him for so long. Even now, he's trying to see the best positive outcome.

My take is even though I agree that Ruby's crimes are far greater than her possible redemption, it wouldn't be within Lloyd's character to destroy her or give her the coup-de-grace. He'll try to help her until she destroys herself or turns herself in. Rule of Llyod, baby!

 

[AnotherDuck]

Maid is super excited for cake.

Very saintly, that hero saint.

"Even a first class cake artisan!"
"You've got it wrong."

Results beg to differ.

And then she went off the sharp end.

"Cake first!"

Hungry maid is always hungry.

Hungry saint is also hungry.

And a bigger threat appears. Of course.

Its quite hilarious how little empathy people have towards ruby lmao

Why would they have empathy towards her?

Ah yes, anyone that have a different opinion than you guys must have a low iq, live in their mom’s basement and straight be some psychopath huh

Well, first thing is that Lloyd didn’t runaway. He clearly told her he was leaving and why. So I don’t see the fault he has, it’s not his fault if she didn’t believe he would follow his worlds. Well, maybe the fact that he let her do all the shit she did to him for years without arguing much could be seen has a fault, dunno.
Here, what’s bugging me is that the coming redemption only happens cuz Lloyd do all the work. Ruby so far hasn’t shown any regrets, everything that happens to her is not her fault. Every time she acts, she does more shit. Where is the limit ? Aside being somewhat cute, she legit has nothing for her. Any other char in this story have something more in their character except her.
I’m pretty sure that if she was a dude instead of a cute girl, way less people would defend her and waiting for her redemption arc.

 

[Kreate]

Did we really need an even bigger threat suddenly appearing to fuck things up more now? There are so many manga authors that are piss poor at managing tension in their series.

Neat, that last panel is based on The Great Red Dragon by William Blake.

THANK YOU! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THE SAME THING!!!

I like the bit of censoring the gore, and then revealing that it's actually illusion magic.

You know, by completely ignoring the points I'm making and boiling it down to different opinions you're kinda proving my point :v

Especially since I'm pretty clearly talking about a specific type of comments that think a protagonist should be a murderous sociopath, that sad backstories = excuse bad actions or that if a character was a bad person they deserve death and have no chance of redemption

 

[T-sama]

For anyone interested the two mangas I mentioned before are Another World Craft Life: The Heartwarming Slow Life of a Free-spirited Production Worker and The Amazing Village Creator: Slow Living With the Village Building Cheat

No link for second one cause it's licensed but you can find it in places, I didn't give link cause it might be against the rules :v

 

[deathmailrock]

The big boobed maid..... she's the one who really needs an arc

Can we not get this whole I need to save her?
She literally abused him and refused to even acknowledge his work.

The reason for the redemption is because she BECAME sh*tty.... she wasn't sh*tty at the start.

They originally had a great relationship that turned bad later on.....

 

[Ricrod]

Ruby so far hasn’t shown any regrets

She doesn't need to, Lloyd is such an idiot that at this point I really prefer him going back to being her slave. He deserves worse.
