I feel like I should like both of the MCs, but I just can't feel empathetic about Psyche. I know it may be hopeless, but I just don't want to see Helios falling for Psyche in Medea's body (or in any body, for this matter). I want him to not fall for the stupid act Psyche is gonna throw to convince him she's Medea. And for god, Medea should't marry that crappy prince just for the throne. Let's agree it's not worth it.
Pls Helios, look for the real Medea and do what you do. I just can't stand seeing the bond between them being tossed away. Like, if Helios comes to love Psyche, he will only do things to "protect" her , like, if she doesn't want someone executed, them he wouldn't do it, or would do it in secret and if her wishes were to contradict Medea's, he would always back her, unless it was something that could harm Psyche (for example) and the story would be <again> like a fairy-tale towards Psyche, while following this line, the best Medea would get is to crack that prince with her intelligence and strenght and make him fall for her, then we would have that old, princely romance (and wouldn't make much sense since she's already kinda at the top. Like, she becomes empress and what then? ). If we could get Medea x Helios, it would be possible to see some real character development, specially if we could have Helios POV, since at this point (we know he is where he is now beacause of Medea) he doesn't seem to have romantic feelings towards Medea and vice-versa and they have known each other for seven years. If he could make Medea open herself to him in the middle of the story (which wouldn't cost us her real villainess attitude, which he understand its kinda a part of her) it would be really nice. The development I see Psyche getting is tottaly based on her being more fierce and strong, something kinda cliché, if I were to say (and not the kind of character I'm wanting to see, but if it's bound to happen I'll bear with it just for Medea).
Don't get me wrong, I want Psyche to be happy, just away from Helios. Maybe I'll change my mind? Yeah, maybe. I just feel for Medea when I see images popping up in my mind of Helios teaching Psyche everything about sparring, books and etc.
Well, I'm definetly going to read it, its one of the few manhwas that has an actual villainess and seems interesting. Also, I never wrote so much about a story with only a few chapters 😅😄
