I Am the Real One - Vol. 1 Ch. 28

[zastanna]

her great aunt has the same name as me thats definitely a first seeing it somewhere lol

Listen, I have said this before and I will say it again, the only redemption arc that would make me look at him as a good-ish character would be if he sacrificed himself for MC, no exceptions.

@eminyan

he can better himself and admit his mistakes

If he betters himself, admits his mistakes, and does at least the minimum of the remaining actions available to him as a Dad (i.e protecting/supporting her from the shadows since she clearly doesn't want anything to do with him instead of supporting her openly, intruding on her personal space)

That itself is considered redemption.
Redemption does not mean the girl has to forgive him and be a family again, nor does it mean erasing his sins.

As long as his character moves on from "Grade-A Abusive Asshole" to "Was once an asshole, now a moron" its "sufficient" redemption (sufficient being subjective).

Whitened Chocolate Milk's (I'm not a bad person just because i can use darkness LN)

Spoiler

mother

is one example of "somewhat redeemed but not forgiven". This dad here can reach this state at best.

 

[Queen1500]

No no, this is not how easy it should be to redeem yourself if you are a piece of shit

 

[feebii]

@Rel_ same, it would bother me a lot if the dad was the same all throughout the whole story. he would be, as you said, 2 dimensional

 

[zastanna]

im glad she is not trying to earn his love and attention on this life

 

[ninanimator]

I wonder how this story would go if this world has therapists and family counseling lol

 

[GrandfatherClock]

I would accept a redemption arc if he suffers a bit. But he should not get off easy

Today episode on How to cripple relationship with your children and Get them to never visit you again.

@eminyan
There actually was one point where the dad might be having some future mistake whiplash deja vu and regretting it(i believe he's been having nightmares about it, aka his changes might not just be the MC's fault, that said

Spoiler

he did kill her in her previous life, and he was responsible for everything that happened when he did (won't spoil that unless asked, that's basically the mother of all spoilers for this story and explains half the plot) whether you think the dad is trying to better himself or not depends strongly on your interpretations of a few things in that spoiler i can't spoil easily, but he is acting a bit better this time around.

@Tatsuya-Kai Where can I find the novel to read?

 

[lucyshiki]

Ugh I dislike him with a passion

Spoiler

so glad she and her brother dump his ass. He deserves to be alone

 

[Tatsuya-Kai]

@Wyzarka
I didn't read the novel, there's a spoiler thread on novelupdates that has extensive spoilers on it that getting a breakdown of the story is pretty easy, i did consider reading it but i decided to stick to the manhwa since a few things seem slightly changed.

@lucyshiki
If i remember right

Spoiler

she comes back to him at the very end of the series, the brother still loathes him but i guess she wants to try.

 

[sweet-potato]

Yes. Suffer some more daddy...
I'm reminded of Claude from Who made me a princess. Was he as bad?

 

[berryoragami]

Thanks so much for the chapter!!

 

[themadmeg]

@Tatsuya-Kai spoil me please.

 

[Aliy]

this has been bothering me for awhile but do keira and her brother have the same mother? or is her brother her step brother?

 

[Kanika]

The dad looks so much similar to dark Claude 😂

 

[Akera93]

Honestly, I'm a sucker for a cute parent who can't express himself and I find myself feeling for him

Spoiler

especially since I read that she leaves him in the end

but then I remember that he literally stood there as she was executed and how much torture she had to endure because he was an imbecile...even if he thought she wasn't his real daughter, the fact that she has lived with him for that long should've meant something....Anyway, the second I remember that he is a shitty miserable existence, I forget my sympathy towards him

 

[Wyzarka]

@Tatsuya-Kai Oh, I see. Do you know where I can find it, tho? Is the novel under a different name on Novel Updates (or at all)?
