I don't really like this series. The main couple is a non-consensual relationship. And if the sister seriously wanted to help the main character she could have helped her earlier so that she wouldn't have been driven out of the Kingdom. Even if she was sick she could have still sent the MC invitations to talk.

 

[BrotherCoa]

Let go little sister, make this world a better place for everyone - including beastkin and Karina.

Aurora was the best thing in her entire life, hopefully she will be so again when she make sure Karina can have some peace in the end.

The main couple is a non-consensual relationship.

How exactly when Karina agreed to be married to her? Maybe she did used her and she is regretting that but the wolf lady definitely love her and she had saved her life. The wolf lady made her an offer and she accepted as she didn't had anything else to go for at that moment, it's a big stretch to try and call that "non-consensual" when both parties have something to gain from it.

Hell, you can even make a case that wolf lady has it worse as Karina is just using her for her revenge while she is genuinely in love with her and wants to protect and care for her.

 

[Senros]

I wonder what kind of drugs the little sister is on, because what the fuck?
She can't be that oblivious. She actively sabotaged her sister over and over, she even thinks her sister is a cruel person, and NOW she wants to save her because she treasures her!? After she took her fiance? Holy, she must be high out of her mind. Maybe a genetic mutation makes normal air act like weed in her brain, because she can't be serious.

I only want the prince and all of Karina's family to suffer greatly for about 30 years. That's seems about right. Then she could maybe call it even at that point.

 

[Jenst]

Yeah this is going the dumb , she was actually good and cared for her sister hurr durr. If it wasen't for the fucking wolf karina would be dead already. The sister and her family nor the royals should earn any forgiveness.

 

[Jackal-Lantern]

Yep, like I thought... Karina will need Aurora to save her... Typical...

But this does answer a question I have earlier. How was Aurora (who was mostly sickly her life) able to easily silence the prince and get him to back off when she needs to, but Karina couldn't hope to do that in a hundred years. Aside from the obvious "Prince doesn't want Karina, he wants Aurora", it's simply that Karina doesn't have it in her to be an authoritative figure. She acts based on how she imagines others would want her to act, and yet for Aurora who admired her sister, she probably saw her as a respectable figure and not only successfully emulated that but also made it her own as a 'future queen'.

Honestly, at this point I ain't rooting for anyone. They're pretty much all trash and scum, save for maybe Eve and her lover. I'd have preferred a series about them.

Thanks for tl

"I want to be the one to save her"
Way too fucking late

 

[skywardgem]

can't have a complete picture without all of the necessary POVs, really curious how this interview will shake out

thanks for the chapter!

Now this may just be my brainrot in action but I see the story is determined not to leave Aurora behind and introduces Charlotte as her wife-to-be lmao.

Aurora's explanation is semi-reasonable here, Karina has hated her for a long time now but mainly for things that Aurora herself had little power over. Things that were simply done by other people to favor Aurora over Karina. A problem that got worse as Karina's reputation plummeted because same as in real life all bad things happen because of straight men (joke)

But wowee I do kind of hope the conclusion to this story is that the crown prince ends up tragically dead survived by his queen consort Aurora who rules fair and just and will be remarked by historians to have been very close to her royal guard Charlotte.

 

[Litreara]

So let me get this straight:

Karina always felt like she had to give things up for Aurora. Things started going wrong when she had to take Aurora’s place as Prince Orlando’s fiancée. She was mistreated by everyone, which made her change for the worse.

As for Aurora, she never really understood Karina or how she felt. So even though she’s trying to help Karina, even in a self-sacrificing way, now that everything has gone to shit for Karina, it doesn’t come across that way to her.

So, on the surface, it feels like it all boils down to a big misunderstanding caused by a lack of communication, and as a major plot point, it ends up feeling kind of underwhelming. But I think the real issue goes a bit deeper than that, and honestly, I just don’t really like how it’s written.

It’s not just that the misunderstanding trope is overused. It’s that the story treats a power imbalance as if it’s just a communication problem. Karina didn’t really misunderstand Aurora; she actually lived through all of it. She was the disposable sister, the one who had to be sacrificed when Aurora was sick, and then pushed aside again once Aurora was fine. Her downfall isn’t random; it comes directly from that.

Meanwhile, Aurora’s late attempts to help, even when they’re self-sacrificing, are kind of framed as reasonable, while Karina’s bitterness is treated as the real issue. Calling it a misunderstanding makes it seem like both sides share the blame, but that doesn’t really hold up. One sister lost everything, while the other mostly just has to deal with guilt.

That imbalance is what makes the whole thing frustrating instead of tragic. It doesn’t feel like something a simple conversation could fix, because the damage runs deeper than that, and that’s why it feels more frustrating than compelling.

Thanks for the chapter!

The way she said "mostly true" felt like a "Political Response" then a Geninue one! Because of her "position" she can't out and say they were "all true/false" so Mostly felt "safe" as you have to ask "which ones!"

Felt like she married the spoiled brat out of obligation and her "shutting him down" last chapter was her FINALLY having enough of his BULLSHIT and making it clear "this is the hill she will DIE ON, if he LOVES AND CHERISHS HER" like he CLAIMED he does, he will shut the fuck up and "quietly wait in the corner for her to come back with Karina ALIVE!"

I think now she has SOME political pull, not enough to protect Karina from the "Demonization" her "dear in-laws and husband" did to her. But enough that they can't play this game TWICE! They already made a big deal in getting Karina considered "so vile and evil, they erased her from history to make up for THEIR MISTAKE!" All while pushing Aurora as this Saintess! For the Prince this BACKFIRES HARD when he tried his "Oh Aurora, you're too kind, now stay over there and let me do everything" with her biting back! If they try this shit again with Aurora, it WILL fail and start raising "questions!" So in a sense, his spoiling parents only helped in WEAKENING his hold on Aurora, not strengten it! She likely secretly HATES him, that moment last chapter was her "letting the mask off!" In the end I feel he's going to get the fate of the Prince from "Kill the Villainess" where in public and so, they will be "The best couple ever" but behind close doors, shit gets COLD and he will be unloved! Her likely plan is to save Karina and just have her move elsewhere FAR from the grasp of her "in-laws and husband" with it being a DEALBREAKER if they dare try what was done early chapter in going after her! Even with the "Wedding humilation!" It will be a slight they "have to let go" for the sake of "family stability" AKA her not being a problem causer, because Aurora "perfect Symbosis" with them they build up while bringing Karina down HAS to be maintain! As they ALL suffer otherwise! You saw what she went through with that POS prince! Even when PUBLICALLY showing off his "Charmlessness" that can be factored on "Being Karina's victim" even though others witness OTHERWISE and know he's a POS! If people question just "how much of that was Karina's BAD actions, and how much of that was him throwing a manchild tantrum at not getting the DOLL/Aurora he wanted and acting a vile abuser to Karina" is not what they want! Hence trying to ERASE Karina and just conclude SHE was vile! To protect HIM

It's why I wish that FATE of the Prince from "Kill the Villainess" as it would be the ULTIMATE fuck you to him. Knowing he is not LOVED but tolerated, and his parents can't do SHIT because they already used their "one time scapegoating" in this regard for at least 1-2 generations. So as long as Aurora causes no problems publically, they can't do so either and for their COLOSSUS ego's especially HIS "earth size" one! That will be the ULTIMATE defeat! They keep their rep, but they lose what is important that they'll suffer for THE REST OF THEIR DAYS regretably! (Because it was likely "accepted" that this worked out for them AND Karina's family! Only SHE takes the fall and is removed from "the perfect picture" even erase EVERYTHING so future historian's won't discover the disgrace THEY HOPED as they were under the impression she was dead and so no evidence will crop up....even though they usually do and her actions only INSURED their "sense of victory and security" in this is GONE as this means they're WILL be some evidence to cause conjucture at the point they can do NOTHING AKA when they are long dead! Egotistical Rulers love their "making and controlling history after their gone!" Makes it funny when history goes in a direction they didn't want and if real, can only ROLL in their graves when their "History" takes a turn they didn't see coming NOR WANT!)

But this is just my thoughts so far. Maybe I'm wrong or right

 

[NinjaGoemon]

Reshutoka knowing that her wife is still upset but how will she reach out to her?

Soon we shall have cuddles, soon!

Or better, he suffers the fate of the Prince from "Kill the Villainess!"

Spoiler: Spoilers on that for those who haven't seen the end of that Manhua

He got to marry Helena, but he forever is STUCK with his lingering love for Eris who is BEYOND him now back in her world, and Helena HATES HIM fully for the shit he put BOTH her and Eris through because of his selfishness! She will be Queen, but to his HORROR she gives him the Professionalism and "Queenly mask" he saw his mother give his father! Meaning to his HORROR he will suffer the same LOVELESS MARRIAGE his parents were in! The queen is pitiful because her husband, the King was a POS obsessed with her, and STILL can't see that he killed ANY love between them when he killed their son! Losing it forever and going INSANE trying to win a LOSING GAME that resulted in her HELPING Eris, for the chance to "get her murder/suicide" with the POS! While that last part won't happen! It's poetic to the Prince after all the shit he did

And in this case, the Prince here gets his wish, but will NEVER be happy or get the LOVE from Aurora he expected once "Karina" was out the way! His fantasy FOREVER out of reach, and he can do NOTHING to change the outcome! Him dead FEELS nice, but it means he's out of reach of anymore karma! So living LONG without EVER knowing the love his PARENTS had with each other he obsessed over! And Aurora NO LONGER a pushover would be poetic!

And all the stuff would be nice as well! Ultimently he succeeds in erasing or downplaying KArina in history.....only to be treated like a JOKE compared to Aurora who would OUTSHINE his and his parents egotistical asses! For his parents, they'll ROLL in their graves, cause I'm sure their happy the family "reputation" is kept, but unhappy it came at the cost of their Prince Charmless son being overshadowed and UNHAPPY since they did and allowed all those vile things for him after All

 

[darkniter123]

What the hell? Everyone treats the she-wolf like she's the most monstrous monster, just because some book from who-knows-where says so. I mean, damn, it's hard to find the words: basically, the sister takes the rumors of Karina's villainous acts as true, but wants to save her from the monster, have mercy on her, and spare her life? Damn, this is a fucking act of moral superiority.

I can already imagine the ending: the sister saves Karina and offers her almighty forgiveness; Karina stumbles, cries, and repents for all the fictional villainous acts she never committed—or rather, they were committed against her; Karina appreciates her sister's forgiveness and begs for forgiveness from her sister and her ex-fiancé; everyone lives happily ever after and reconciles: the end.

What a beautiful story, give me another one, but with less revenge, because this one went too far.

 

[Stahlregen]

Still not sure if tragedy full of misunderstandings or justified revenge porn on truly evil people.

Also, the sexually suggestive meanings of getting "eaten" by a "wolf".

Thanks for the chapter!

It feels like Aurora could do NOTHING nor had the full story, and by this point, she's now ATTACHED along with the family to those POS Royals. So has to be MINDFUL of her words (saying MOSTLY TRUE felt like a "not the whole!" as in how much IS "mostly!" as it could mean "out of the 100, only 10-25 is true, the rest are lies" as remember, if the royal family gets humilated, so will her family suffer!) The irony in a way is that by PROMOTING Aurora so heavily, they gave HER some political POWER as anything UPSETTING that 'saintly reputation" will blow back on them now that she's married, they can't afford to make her "another Karina" and that is likely WHY her "shutting the prince up" worked this time! She likely "let the mask slip" but it was affordable as he can't "back out or change his behavior towards her without all the careful work his parents and supporters did to push all the BAD on him onto Karina go to waste!" He's a spoiled Brat, so to be PUT IN HIS PLACE for once and told to shut up when Aurora never did this before is "ego wounding" for such a Self-absorbed asshole!

Aurora isn’t married to the prince yet. The wedding was postponed.

 

[Zhangar]

Pretty much all I got from all of this is that Aurora definitely doesn't understand her sister in the slightest, and even seems completely oblivious to everything Katrina went through.

I'm really curious as to what leverage Aurora apparently has over the Prince

 

[KuraiTora]

It boils my blood when I see family structured like this, the golden child and the scapegoat.

The best thing for Karina is to leave this shitty country behind along with a family who says that they love her, but don't act like it.

Years of resentment won't wash away like Aurora seems to expect.

 

[Baffled]

This story is all over the place and is full of plot holes, that make the whole situation look really fucking stupid 🚬

MC's parents are dumb as hell, her sister is REALLY dumb and I can't believe someone can be this dense, and the prince is just an absolute piece of shit that made MC feel miserable over and over again, and made her life insufferable, and somehow nobody thinks that he's THE problem

So yeah, this author sure can draw, but holy fuck this writing is just ain't it chief
