I Woke Up as an Imprisoned Villainess - Vol. 3 Ch. 13

[Scipo0419]

So... let me get this straight. The Grand Duke murdered his sister, is trying to murder his nephew (the prince) and then likely wants to either murder or be executed by his brother (the King), and get Violet put on the throne... for revenge against his dead douchebag father?

Bro literally killed an innocent person, is trying to kill an innocent person, and wants a third innocent person to lose their son and siblings, because his dad didn't love him because he had magic.

What an absolute fucking moron. The biggest "revenge" would be to solve the food crisis through magic (which he did) and show the kingdom how great magic really is, and work with his siblings to prevent discrimination like their father's from ever happening again.

But this walking shitstain calling itself a human chose to kill the innocent members of his family instead. Fuck him and I hope he's forced to realize what he's done and live a long life bearing that guilt.

Thanks so much for picking this back up!! I've been so excited to see where it goes. I just love these characters

I decided to check on this series, and I'm so glad you guys are continuing to post!

Also, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO STOP ON A CLIFFHANGER?!

I... don't think they had therapy back then,

but why waste money with therapy when hobbies do just as much or a better job?

Hell with that; my fantasy magic world has therapy from now on.

Besides, isn't that why they have a tavern in the adventurers guild? You drink and chat with people who have the same problems, right?

Honestly, that's what bars used to be, before they made them non-smoking and half of them closed... free-associated group therapy.

By golly, that was one cringeworthy chapter.

I mean, if he was just going to kill them without revealing his revenge then he may as well have used magic or a sword and had a proper regicide coup. As it is, they would die without ever knowing why since he is trying to keep his distance from their deaths, losing a major aspect of revenge. And really, the primary target for revenge was his father who is already dead, his brother may not even know what happened that caused his desire for revenge.

Agreed, the fact he harmed and murdered his siblings, and niece and nephew in order to get revenge on a long dead man is cowardly imo.

I know revenge isn't reasonable or logical but it doesn't prove the previous king wrong, it doesn't make anything better and it certainly doesn't counteract discrimination he faced by choosing to discriminate but different (TM) this time.

When I started this, I thought it would be similar to The Holy Grail of Eris. How wrong I was

What a poorly written character. I'm not even mad that he's bad as a villain, he's just bad as a character. This writer is not cooking, definitely needs to go back to school 🙃

 

[Saintrhon]

So...why exactly was the priest a magic supremacist? Dude just grew up that way so randomly and seemingly would not stop espousing his views to everyone and got kicked out on the streets because of it.

That is so ridiculous it can only be funny.

 

[Scrabbleman]

You have all the choices, and you've picked all the wrong ones.

When all your available choices are bad choices, the best you can do is pick the one that's least bad.

When all your available choices are bad choices, the best you can do is pick the one that's least bad.

Sure, but that's not relevant to his choices.

I'm guessing the priest's fanaticism is actually caused by the drugs that hide his magic, though I wonder why he didn't attach to the uncle instead?
Speaking of the Uncle, ugh, his hypocrisy is driving me up the wall; "I was treated bad, therefore I must have REVENGE!! Also, I killed someone's mother for no reason, and am blackmailing others... because you know... revenge?"
Just a really obnoxious character - he wasn't denied the crown because of his magic, he was denied it because he's an ass!
