Akuyaku Reijoutachi wa Yuruganai - Ch. 5

[usman1000]

Interesting thought: last chapter, the little brother (Gerald) said that he was “instructed” to escort Sandra to the gathering in his brother’s place. But at the end there, muscle brain says “when did Gerald and Sandra even-?!“

it could just be that Olva was so out of touch that he didn’t know Gerald was sent as the substitute in his place and was thinking how the two of them got so close lol

However it could also be that either Gerald substituted without Olva or his family knowing he did, or his family did knowing that muscle butt was no longer worthy of being the successor and slowly planning to replace him. Either way would be interesting to see… 🤔

Gerald said that he used his mother’s connections to buy a paired brooch for Sandra, so at least his mother knew and approved of what Gerald was doing.

omg yess

You go girl, kick that useless fuck to the curb.

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

this is the reason i think some peope is worthy to be NTRed.

I'm honestly surprised that ethical NTR against bad marriages(abusive, deadbeat, dysfunctional, etc. partners) aren't a much larger genre.

Sandra mentioned an incident with his mother. ( Most likely about adultery) She probably heard about Olva and the saints then pushed Gerald to take over.

Based on what I learned from someone I knew who read NTR, it’s all about the “spice” of the betrayal and the sex scenes.

Honestly wish ethical NTR was more popular too, it makes it all more justified and satisfying when the “betrayal” happens.

It's in every one of the chinese many many many copy paste "cultivator in the city/wargod returns" novels, theres like 1000+ of them.
All of them have "ethical NTR", though it's quite bullshit just how the FL falls for the MC in every one of them.
If you see it for what it is, author mind control forcing the FL to love the ML, it's far from ethical...

Well anyway, this manga is good.

 

[Haru777]

Nice way of taking things for granted and not self reflecting. Dumbass.

Also, romantic love is overrated. Respect lasts and is way more sexy.

 

[Kimochi-kun]

Honestly Olva gets what he deserved.

And all the things he said in this chapter showed how little he cared and paid attention to things concerning his fiancee or well other stuffs except Aini and "playing knight". No sympathy at all for him.

 

[Gudachiz]

EAT SHIT BOY

ISTG the characters here are so good

 

[Amimikamoon]

What an entitled fool. He disregarded Sandra at every opportunity and then when she has the sense to drop him he starts spouting nonsense about love? Moron

 

[Neko98]

even if I want to say he got NTR'd, there's no love between them in the first place to call it that

Wouldn’t be the other way because he was the one cheating at first with the Saint, at least emotional cheating.
Also it wouldn’t be considered cheating because while the younger brother proposed they technically didn’t start having a relationship right then and there. They probably only got into a relationship after both family agreed to have them engaged instead of if the older brother. So no she didn’t actually cheat on him but the other way around. The older brother just hear last because he couldn’t care less about what was happening to his fiancé anyway and this family knew that.

Dude was enjoying the power trip he has on Sandra, thinking she's head over heels for him with all that angry "nagging" and "jealous" shouts but she's just doing it for her own honor. Now that she dumped him, got the gall to act like the victim. Get rekt and stay down forever.

Delicious, delicious karma!

 

[zekilee]

Bro's dumber and denser than the average dense harem protagonists

Satisfyingg~

I love villainesses ;-;

"how could this have happened to me, the perfect fiance"

That's just most American romcoms. Really, think about any of the ones you've seen. A very large amount of them involve the female lead already in a bad relationship before meeting the male lead, or the male lead in one that the female lead has to "save him" from.

Spoiler: annulment...

maybe because their series is so refined and the characters are eloquent that it doesn't right with me that annulment was used. for it's exact usage, annulment is used after marriage. it may sound like divorce but the law defines the two as 'ending a valid marriage' and 'recognizing it as a void marriage.'
from what I understand while in divorce you may call your spouse your 'ex,' that would not be the case with annulment, with annulment that status will be perceived as if it never happened. it's used in religious practice to not recognize the marriage as if it didn't exist.
annulment examples would be ones not recognized by the law, without legal documentation, like group marriage. and annulment is also a desirable result from contesting forced marriages as well. divorce is on terms agreed by the two parties involved, usually to split properties and payouts, but annulment can be recognized with only one party if one of them applies. they can also be made if it's believed that one of the parties is 'incompetent' without a guardian to advocate for their decision. last example I can think about is a shotgun wedding done while one of the parties is inebriated, meaning if they can prove they were incapable of making a decision the marriage will not be recognized, or 'annuled'
it's not annulment but a termination of an agreement made by two households. not only was it an agreement made by her family meaning she herself does not have full autonomy for her arrange marriage, it requires his signature as well in order to terminate the contract.
edit: but I reread it and it's Orva who says 'annulment', which is quite fitting because his IQ is pitiless

I was confused about page 16 w/lady bernadetta, I wonder if it's foreshadowing the next chapter
also I loved the aldini family meeting where they reasoned with Sandra, it's very charming

Sandra explaining to Olva how he dug his own grave was honestly a lot more satisfying than the Saintess getting dressed down.
