JK kara Yarinaosu Silver Plan - Vol. 2 Ch. 8 - Miracles Will Happen

[goarachnidlaser]

There was a tv show with the guy from You about an unhappy guy who died at 35 and went back to the early nineties as his teen self. He tried to get his old man to invest in Intel microchips, but of course his dad ignored him and invested in whatever random companies his broker recommended.

dam, this chapter was both depressing and inspiring

 

[nivinator]

The MC had no place to tell that girl to apologize to her father. In my opinion, he does not deserve ANY respect at all. He literally does not care about his daughter and even when she was being patient with him, he lashed out at her. As the adult, he should be more responsible. HE should be the one apologizing, not his daughter. In real life, he would be labeled as an abusive drunkard asshole.

Meanwhile, the MC is just being a totally selfish bitch, projecting her own feelings of guilt and regret onto this random other girl. She basically tells her "Yeah, your dad's a total piece of shit, but he's your father--so tough luck! Deal with it!" and even has the gall to tell her to APOLOGIZE. MC, your experiences do not equal someone else's. Just because you treated your nice father poorly doesn't mean everyone else who treats their father poorly has a nice father lmaoo. Jesus Christ, even after 20 years on the streets, she's still stuck in her own little privileged bubble.

I'm sorry for the rant but this made me really, really mad. It's so bullshit, I'm done.

This chapter got too real and made me appreciate this story even further.
Two solid points are juxtaposed here:

[ul]A father who is failing as a parent. Deserves all the hate you throw at him.[/ul]
[ul]The MCs point that hating your dad till the end and not being able to forgive him after he dies will hurt her more than the anger that is consuming her right now./ul]

 

[me474]

this is the same saying as "welp your father is mass murder and terrorist and hit you on daily basis and basically sold you in the black market and has no concern for your well begin but he is your father and you gotta love him"
gambling /alcoholic/abusive parents deserve no sympathy because they chose to be this way don't assume every dad is nice like your own

 

[Kuraiaku]

@nivinator I get where you're coming from but I also get the MC's point, I think both points are basically true. But to explain the MC's point, if his father actually kills himself right after she said he should've died, I bet she probably will kill herself too out of guilt. As shitty as he is, not everyone can stomach that they're indirectly causing someone else's death.

PS: The father is POS, I'm not arguing with that.

 

[nivinator]

@Kuraiaku True, but what I was mad about was the MC telling her to "Apologize, now." That was the FIRST thing she said. She didn't even acknowledge the fact that the dad was a piece of shit. Instead, she immediately latched on to what the girl said in the heat of the moment. That's not the MC trying to help Kashimura out, that's her living in her own regrets and trying to amend it through someone else. I feel like the right thing to do would be to try and resolve the situation in that moment, then talk to Kashimura about it later (bc you're right, wouldn't want him to actually kill himself and have her live with the guilt). Either way, Kashimura shouldn't have to be the first one to apologize for what she did because simply telling her dad to die doesn't even come close to what her dad did to her.
@me474 that's facts

maybe I should call my dad ....

OKAY I'M FEELIN THIS

 

[kelohmello]

That "rich people work hard" bit thrown in there feels incredibly fucking random in a story about a girl whose family ended up destitute from mindlessly squandering all their wealth.

 

[sujinko]

This dad and your dad is different case you dumbass, you are 40+ years old and cant think about that ?
your dad were bankrupted and this fker is a gambler and drunkard !

 

[Dadorable]

forget the bento, I would pay for just seeing a villainous princess on full blast

 

[charkan]

@kelohmello
I believe that the author wants to point out the virtues of a rich person. A virtuous person will always be a pillar of society.

@sujinko
The author must make a comparison because the result may be the same in both cases. It can incite the father to commit suicide by making him feel hated.

 

[rarelambo21]

@Nihilist1 I feel u bro

 

[kelohmello]

@charkan what "virtues of a rich person"? Whatever virtues she learned, she learned them after losing all her cash and becoming poor. If the point was purely the value of being virtuous then the way it was said makes no sense. It's actively contradicted by the story itself.

 

[shimpgod]

a bunch of rich kids here, well, when you all face some hardship on your life, then ddrown in hatred for the rest until you die

 

[Kuraiaku]

@nivinator yeah indeed she's choosing the not so good/smart action right there, but that's inline with her established character: a former selfish idiot with heavy trauma attached in her past learning to change by honestly wearing her true feelings/regrets on the sleeves. Personality wise, she's a nutcrack with good intention. I'm honestly surprised the author have the guts to roll with it lol.

 

[berryoragami]

Thanks so much for the chapter!

 

[mangolover]

@kelohmello i actually don’t think the author intends to portray rich people as a group in a positive light; rather, i think the focus is on the pres’ mindset changing and that allowing her to get along with and open up to our (exceptional) mc more easily
