As a general rule, I hate rape stories. If it is in a story, I prefer it to be treated with the gravity it deserves. Have the character go through the whole range of emotions, and work towards healing. Or don't have them heal. Instead, have them descend into more negative emotions. But it needs to be complex and believable. I hate it when authors just use rape as a shortcut to justify a murder rampage, without ever addressing the emotional trauma the character went through. We're probably going to go that route, since the god seems to have spared Elizabeth of the worst of the memories of her being raped and murdered.Always... It's fucking always the same bullshit about this Isekai gore violence with a Fem MC. If she's not getting rape in the first chapter, she will be in the next ones or someone will attempt to.
And everytime the case is treated like shit. It's like a casual bad event. "She get raped ? That's just bad luck. It happens to everyone women. We will just forget about it and go on with our life. Yay ! If we have some chance we will kill the bad guys and everything will be fine."
Rape is something that breaks people for life. I'm so tired to see it used so lightly like some bad think that happens in your day.
It wasn't necessary to go to that expend to show how shitty it is for a woman to make it a name in a world ruled by men. Other mangas did it and they didn't get their Fem MC get gang raped and beheaded for that.
Spared, spared. She vaguely remember what happened the first two days. For a goddess she could have cut her memories before anything happens to her and give them back if she asks how she died.since the god seems to have spared Elizabeth of the worst of the memories of her being raped and murdered.
The goddess didn't do anything, she just forgot about the most painful moments because human bodies are designed to do that. Also, it does turn into a trauma as the Yuri tag kinda gave it away. Men have traumatized her so she would now seek comfort in women instead... I agree that it feels cheap on the author's part though.I hate it when authors just use rape as a shortcut to justify a murder rampage, without ever addressing the emotional trauma the character went through.

FR had a gut feeling that it's gonna be madly disgusting/messed up, so I safed it for later. It kinda had the gardens of Gehenna vibe or more like the general sexual violence themed mangas. and I believe thanks to your post, I could go at least prepared. So thank you very much, I don't know why but this really really messes with me. Even though its fiction. Really thank you ❤️ to everyone who has been pointing it out.yeah this does look cool though i'd argue that even if mostly left to implication the fact that she got raped to death would warrant either a tag chance or a warning note if you'd ask me.
It was certainly something I had to take a stop and ready myself to continue reading over.
All in all though, I do like that the goddess just straight up says "yeah it just doesn't matter how strong you are, I need someone who'd actually execute on my will once I get that checked off I just make you the strongest person around, it's just that simple" and then in addition that the goddess went with timechamber training since Elizabeth didn't just want to be handed ultimate power like it's nothing.
I understand why it may disgust and disturb someone. I admit that. If it wasn't for the fact I was more focused on cleaning stuff up than on the story, I'd have been at least unsettled too for sure >_<FR had a gut feeling that it's gonna be madly disgusting/messed up, so I safed it for later.

I love my gut feeling
I mean, I think that's reading too much into why it'd have the yuri tag, like it's not like she showed any interest in men for this entire chapter so there's no reason to frame it as "only a lesbian because of trauma from men" instead of "lesbian who also happened to get traumatized by men". Feels disingenuous.The goddess didn't do anything, she just forgot about the most painful moments because human bodies are designed to do that.

Not to mention that everyone who did her dirty were all men, including those who seemed decent at first.
Usually a yuri series would be completely devoid of men (or they just somehow blend into the background), so it's up to the readers to imagine why the yuri took place. In this chapter though, how can anyone be enamored of men when even Sir Glorious turned out to be a scum?I mean, I think that's reading too much into why it'd have the yuri tag, like it's not like she showed any interest in men for this entire chapter so there's no reason to frame it as "only a lesbian because of trauma from men" instead of "lesbian who also happened to get traumatized by men".

There's still plenty of yuri that have guys in them (and tbh more yuri manga should include guys in them, make the stories more realistic). There's also girls in this manga already that are enamored with the men, the two Loretta talks to seem head over heels for Sir Glorious and seem excited about the chance to bear his kids (this also setting up Loretta as being not into guys, definitely who Elizabeth is gonna get with in the end). Idk feels weird to read into this stuff as lesbians only being able to happen because of trauma with men/a complete lack of men/all the men around are awful, rather than just she happens to be gay.Usually a yuri series would be completely devoid of men (or they just somehow blend into the background), so it's up to the readers to imagine why the yuri took place.

Men aren't really inherently stronger than women. It is that they typically build up muscle mass faster. That's what science shows. More weight lifting would literally overcome this issue. It would just take longer for her. The whole reason why men tend to be stronger than women is that it's easier, they tend to be taller and that it's societally reinforced (e.g. beauty standards on muscle mass, gym culture etc.). Though we are talking about averages here, it can always be that individual people (regardless of gender) are particularly good or bad at gaining strength.Thank you for all of your hard work in scanlating this work.
"If you don't have the strength to wield a longsword with one hand, then just use both of them"
Women are physically weaker than men. No amount of weight lifting will ever overcome this. I'm glad that the author addresses this natural handicap, and how Elizabeth compensates for it. She has the unique, self taught sword fighting style from her father. And she wields her sword in both hands. However, that still leaves her at a disadvantage. If a male swordsman is holding a long sword in both hands, he'll be able to swing it with more force than her. "A shield which never gets hit is unnecessary!" I'm glad they address this aspect. It sounds like her fighting style will focus on dodging attacks, instead of blocking. I appreciate that the author put this much thought into this.
The story addresses Elizabeth's disadvantage again later on: "Range, power, stamina. Physical traits far superior to what I, as a woman, have... Meanwhile men..." I like that the story is addressing this, instead of just giving Elizabeth magical strength, like so many other manga give female character, to overcome the gap.
Lionel defeating Elizabeth, due to brute strength. Lionel even acknowledged that she has better technique than him. The author is doing a good job of making Elizabeth's disadvantage realistic.
I like that Elizabeth's main rival has respect for her skills. And I like that he is currently more skilled than Elizabeth. He's a real rival for her to overcome. I'm also reading the manga "This is Screwed Up, but I was Reincarnated as a GIRL in Another World!" What annoys me about that manga, is how the author makes almost every male character seem silly or an idiot. It's a sign of a poor writer, if they have to constantly make almost everyone else incompetent, in order to make the main character look better. I'm glad the author for "The Brave Do Not Fear" seems to be avoiding that pitfall.
And then we come to the duel. The story at this point, takes a huge tonal shift. The guys that seemed normal previously, suddenly become cartoonishly evil. Before this point, the author stroke a balance between the real physical differences between men and women, and how they would disadvantage a female sword fighter. And the men were reasonable in how they treated Elizabeth. And then, out nowhere, two of them become mustache twirling villains that give villain speeches about how women should behave. I want the author to make the villains more believable than this. I'll let it slide for now, but we'll see where this heads.
At first, it seems like Beaubert's a good guy. He acknowledges that he'll never beat Elizabeth and gives her his assignment, so she still has a chance to become a hero. Humility, self sacrifice, and kindness. But that turns out to be a lie. Beaubert is just setting up Elizabeth to die. I like yuri. But I don't like it when authors create worlds where every single guy is bad in their world. Can't we get just one guy that isn't evil? You don't have to make all the men scum, to make the women look better. Give us a good male character. And give us an evil female character. Otherwise, the story becomes predictable. When you see a new male character, you'll know immediately that they will be bad.
I'm shocked that Elizabeth died. I was not expecting that severed head. Props to the author for having the balls to kill off the main character like that. Lesser authors would have had her miraculously kill 13 guys, with a broken arm and fever. I'm curious as to whether Elizabeth got sent back in time, or if she simply got resurrected with a new body. Very strong start to this series.
NO FUCKING WAY KARL MARX???[...]
It is heavily implied in the discussion with the goddess of what happened and the dude also said it directly (a fate worse than death)Didn't see sexual violence scene here, maybe next chapter?
What..?... what? Necro dialogue count? I didn't get boner just from that ...
If you just want to see women getting graped, you should definitely look somewhere else. though I am, in general, not interested in what people get off to. Keep those comments to some pr0n comment section... because this isn't thatDidn't see sexual violence scene here, maybe next chapter?
... what? Necro dialogue count? I didn't get boner just from that ...
Anyway, this one is okay, I guess. Start, everyone nice, then mc insecure angst, then everyone became asshole. Its like... What just happen.
I'm waiting for the gey. Lol
