@Sun I completely agree on the take of isabela. When she said that to FL i thought it was the most badass quote, she was realist. I think isabela doesnt make a sympathetic character because their doesn't seem to be any justification for her actions other than greed. FL previous actions weren't that great either, but atleast she was doing it for the love of her life. isabella doesnt even have that excuse and there doesnt seem to be much depth to her evilness. FLs flaws is a reason i lk her. A morally ambigious fl character is more interesting and she seems lk a real life person not some Mary sue. That said there are certain things that i wont be able to forgive. It seems lk FLs character is kinda lk cersie lannister from your description. At first you dislike her (incest aside cause thats a whole other can of worms), but you dont hate her. You see how she came to be, she has her badass moments, and in some aspects you can sympathize with her. Then you really get to know her and youre lk da** shes the absolute worst cant wait for her to be slaughtered. 🤔

@The girl whose a nerd Yeah I understand where you're coming from. And it's not like I completely hate the fl or smth. It's just that she would probably come at the last position in the list of fls for me. She's a morally grey character and even though I usually like morally gray character because of their realism, smth about Ariadne just ticks me off. Maybe it's because I have grown to like Alfonso the most here and her killing him is rubbing me the wrong way now. I'm not saying that Isabella is a good character or deserves to be the fl. But this manhwa has made her out to be too much of a bad character that she's not. And you see, sometimes there's no reason to gain power. Just like Ariadne was greedy for love in her past life and commited felonies for it, Isavetis greedy for power and is committing felonies for that. And I don't think love makes committing arson any right. But I do understand where you're coming from and I hope that Ariadne could self reflect.
