Please tell me I’m not the only one who sees the resemblance

This was wild for me to see! If I brought out more photos then they’d really would look identical. Minus the height. What P3 Protag would look like in royal wear is what my brain is thinking. But between the two, of course I’d choose my dear S.E.E.S leader. Especially given the past actions of the other guy (but he’s not bad in the second timeline though, he became a different person.)

Like, seriously fandom; and fanfic writers who all differed the ending and broke the canon ship up from blindness, 2nd Ruve does NOT deserve your ire, he’s a seriously sweet and considerate gentleman, so let them be together damn it! He does get character growth, and he understood Aristia’s trauma and was respectful of her personal space.

He’s practically helped her more than anyone in the story. Ruveliss is gentlemanly, respectful, he doesn’t pull any tricks or manipulation, he makes genuine conversations, he’s not cruel to Aristia or anyone else, he’s rational and understanding. He reads the room and knows not to push (like giving Aristia space from him). Being the only person to talk about what her mother was like when no one else really does. Help when she’s troubled, give her time on the Empress decision between her and the rival girl. He does a lot. And she grows to understand that and reciprocate in turn. Comforting him on his father’s funeral, and wanting him to live when he’s poisoned. She even cries for him. Ruveliss even has a good friendship/professional relationship with his assistant; who even offers words of comfort to the Prince in a chapter.

There are plenty of characters who’ve gone that route yet will win favours by fans, that just makes it hypocrisy, and 2nd Ruve is a saint compared to others! Has nobody heard of timelines? Nature vs nurture? How the world can influence you and how you influence back? Reformed/isekai/past life characters are in pretty much the same boat, yet they don’t get this kind of heat. Like:

Claude & Anastasius de Alger Obelia, Casian Spenner, cast of The Strongest Characters In The World Are Obsessed With Me, cast of The Twin Siblings’ New Life, Arsene Graroy, Killian Devonshire, Dillon Von Vasilios & Kyle Chrysia from The Reason Why The Twin Lady Crossdresses (which is considered as a sort of successor to The Abandoned Empress. I wouldn’t have called it that though. But honestly 2/3 male love interests are real jerks in the beginning. One with ulterior motives/blackmail on FL, the other just being arrogant and narcissistic), Rupert from Your Majesty, Please Don’t Kill Me (This one has tons of similarities that readers are blind to also. He has a rough and mean personality in the beginning, like a hard tsundere. It’s amazing how there’s so many positive comments for the main ship yet Ruve and Aristia’s get majorly belittled), I could keep going. It’s honestly ridiculous.

2nd Ruve and Aristia’s relationship is a healthy one. If the subjective POV of Aristia’s 1st life wasn’t told in the beginning or ever or another manner, 2nd Ruve and the ending would’ve gotten better support and care. I’m not undermining Aristia’s trauma, but I’m also not going to agree that 2nd Ruve should take blame and responsibility for it. This was random but I just thought to share this, I found it interesting.

So,can I say my own ship with sovieshu? Because I shipped sovieshu with Dion from how to protect the heroines older brother? I you are curious who Dion's personality is like and how he looks,here he is(fun fact,Dion is totally dangerous and a red flag): https://how-to-protect-the-heroines-older-brother.fandom.com/wiki/Deon_Agrece

I know Roxana's older Bro. 😌

Well, Dion really not my type but fan of him despite his every crimes. He really younger version of Lant Agriche (MY FAV ZADDY). 😍

I don't have any problem about shipping character x character, even crossovers. It's your free-will to do.

For example, if I want to have intense and great dynamic Ship. Then this ship I imagine:

Sovieshu x Ruvellis Kamaludin Shana Castina (Abandoned Empress)

Sovieshu x Mag (that ML from Villainess Tames the Beast)

Sovieshu x Dylan Blade ( The Taming of the Tyrant.)

Sovieshu x Claude de Alger Obelia (Who made me a princess)

Sovieshu x Abel (that Zaddy Step-father from Author of my own Destiny)

Sovieshu x Lant Agriche (AAARGGUH YES THAT I LOVE IT )

Etc. (I can't think cuz there are too many 😔)

But my main fav is still Cold Like Tyrant Sovieshu who has no feelings for every character in whole mutiverse and like idgaf. He doesn't like people who has no common senses like navier and Heinrey and other characters. (Yes I made up.)

Romance manhwas/webtoons I highly recommend!!!

Look! You guys must know, by this time, I am a romance connoisseur! *ahem* self-proclaimed*ahem* Romance is my fav genre and I'm not ashamed to say that aloud!! Since valentines day is coming and I'm still single, I simply fill the empty space in my heart with these cute manhwas/webtoons!!! I love reading them so much! But there are some really good romance manhwas that really give me hope about love. These are my recommendations, the ones I really enjoyed.

Daytime star

This manhwa is one of my most fav!! If you haven't heard of it, or read it...GO READ THIS RIGHT NOW!!....or whenever you have time, BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MANHWA! It's not just about its beautiful art style, but the story is AMAZING! If you're like me, who loves mature adult romance (and by 'mature adult romance' I don't mean a story like 50 shades of grey, but a more natural realistic romance between two fully grown adults) then this is the manhwa for you! I swear! I was binge-reading this manhwa the whole day, while eating, while playing games, while sleeping I was dreaming about this manhwa. The story is about a struggling actress falling in love with a very popular actor. It sounds simple, but it's really really REALLY GOOD! It's worth your time! There's nothing bad I have to say about this manhwa. It's truly outstanding.

Marry my husband

What? You want a revenge drama with the female lead in her comeback era? I recommend Marry my husband. I saw the Kdrama adapted from this manhwa and although the actors are really good....the story changes drastically towards the end. The Kdrama has so many....'Kdrama' elements which I'm not really a fan of and it just makes the story unnecessarily complicated for no reason. So I highly recommend you read the manhwa version. The manhwa version is more straightforward and simple compared to the kdrama and doesn't have any unnecessary drama to waste your time. All the characters are so good. Even the side characters have stories. I love how simple the story is and how satisfying it is. I'm sure you will enjoy the manhwa and fall in love the characters. Again, highly recommend this. This is the 2nd manhwa that I binged the whole day, and re-read it again yesterday. It's really good!

A Marriage of Convenience

I'll be honest, I was ignoring this manhwa for god knows why? Looking at the art, it just gave Under the Oak tree vibes.....and I'll be honest again, I got bored of under the oak tree. Everyone seems to love it, but I just got bored after 20 chaps or so. But this one, I finally decided to read it and again! I JUST CANNOT STOP READING IT!! I wonder why I'm so in love with it...it's because the female lead is so cool! I LOVE THE FEMALE LEAD IN THIS MANHWA!!! and you will know why once you read it. I feel like the female lead really carries the story on her back. Its so beautiful to see her growing and then comparing her present self to how she used to be in beginning of the story. Hey! I'm telling you! Go read it!! *points my gun*

I Thought It's A Common Possession (Ongoing!)

Isekai villainess manhwas are the trend guys! I wonder when is cybird going to release their own ver. of isekai villainess game? Well...I have not seen many people talking about this manhwa, so I wanna shed some light. It's a slow-burn but a really good one! At the first chap, you'd hate the male lead....but at the end of the latest chap, you guys will surely love the male lead. You'll think that the story is just a simple villainess manhwa were everyone hates the villainess but soon end up liking her...but no, it's much darker. You'll find out when you read it. Also the female lead...is a mommy!!! She gives me mommy vibes!! She's so beautiful!!

For My Lost Love (Ongoing!)

Another isekai manhwa that I'm obsessed with because the male lead is too hot for my own good! I think the reason I love this manhwa is because 1. it's a slow burn 2. the male lead is so good-looking 3. The relationship developing between the male lead and the female lead is really cute! It's like you can't help but want to see these two together! Right now, the male lead is completely in love with the female lead and its' so cute to see him being possessive about her and the female lead is completely oblivious. The female lead really loves the male lead because he is her fav character of her fav novel. It's cute! I love the female lead's personality, showing heart-eyes and blushing when the male lead does something....even the smallest things like drinking his coffee or arranging flowers. It's really cute!

Remarried Empress (First 80 - 90)

This story is really popular. There is a manhwa and a game....Phew~ Another one of those that I couldn't stop reading......BUT!! As much as I love the story and it's main characters...I feel like this manhwa is better if you only read it up to...90 chapters and from there, just read the spoilers. I'll be honest, the first 80 to 90 chapters of this manhwa are FUCKING AWESOME!!!! IT'S DRAMA AFTER DRAMA AFTER DRAMA! ABUSE! VERBAL ABUSE! EMOTIONAL ABUSE! It's bad but it's also good. The abuse is just too much to handle that you can't stop reading it because you want the female lead to be happy...and in the end she gets it. I highly recommend reading 90 chapters of the manhwa and then read the spoilers because the manhwa gets very sluggish. I bet you, because you will be only invested in the 4 main characters of this story and you won't care about anyone else. The first 90 chapters mainly focuses on these 4 characters and after that the story focuses more on other side characters until it connects back to the main 4 characters. This part is a drag.....so don't waste time and read the spoilers.

The Villainess Turn The Hourglass

Ah....This manhwa....truly one of the best villainess manhwa I've ever read!! I won't say anything! This is truly a 'VILLAINESS ROMANCE' manhwa and again...a story about a woman in her comeback era. Read only the main story though, I don't really care about the spin-off. The main story is truly satisfying. Read it! READ IT RIGHT NOW!! *Points my gun*

I'll keep sharing more manhwas and webtoons with you guys because I'm never gonna stop reading it! Even on my death bed, I'll still be reading it!!

I caved and read Remarried Empress because of your post and honestly I strongly agree that the fandom is very nasty towards Rashta. I mean yeah, the story is very much set up to frame her as a villain no matter what she does since the Empress is the main character, but I feel like Rashta also has some strong points as a character and she's reacting like anyone would to some of the offences she receives from the Empress (imo the story rationalizes why Navier is mean towards Rashta a bit too much for my liking). Idk, I know it's popular to pit women against each other in romance stories so there's a scapegoat, but it's a bit infuriating when most of the fandom demonizes Rashta when she's literally just a gal who's out of her depth.

I am in desperate need for a story along these lines where you can have women in opposition to each other but neither are demonised. Please... I just want a story with flawed women who the fandom appreciates for their complexity....

I've said it in the comments of another post, but it always bears repeating that Rashta was born a slave! Slavery is one of the greater evils of society! She was physically and mentally scarred, sexually abused, had her baby stolen from her, and hounded by her slaver even after gaining freedom! Of course, she's doing everything she can not to go back to that! Like, I know suffering doesn't automatically justify your actions, but y'know, I don't blame her for trying to win the protection and love of literally the most powerful person in the country.

Navier has every right not to like Rashta, but dear god, the fact that slavery exists while she's the Empress is not a good look for her, and Navier is my favourite character!

If the author really wanted a story about a manipulative homewrecker getting her just deserts, she should have been anything other than a former slave. Otherwise, you need to treat both Navier and Rashta as two sympathetic characters in a morally-grey conflict.

In the end, Soveishu is the villain of The Remarried Empress. He refuses to tell Navier he thinks she's infertile. He refuses to tell her he loves her romantically and wants that relationship. He refuses to understand Navier's situation, and he puts Rashta in danger without care, abandoning her the moment his ploy to make Navier jealous blows up in his face. Unlike Rashta, he doesn't have any sympathetic motivation to justify his actions. He just wants Navier to be his obedient wife, accepting whatever he does without respecting her intelligence by talking to her. Soveishu is not treated like a good person, but frankly, the narrative doesn't treat him like the central antagonist he is. No, that spot goes to Rashta because she's a homewrecking harlot who's too poor to belong in high society, despite everything to the contrary.

#remarried empress #not art #i love my sister for tolerating my multi-hour rants on this topic #remarried empress is just *so* close to the type of story i want #i love social games #i love politicking #i love exploring women's roles in society having a focus on manipulation for personal protection #learning that the story ends with rashta dead and her children taken away from her honestly dug a pit in my chest #in a better world her ending would be living a life loving her children in peace #away from the stress and manipulation and opulence #finding a lover who will love and support her after everything's she gone through #again i love navier #but why does she get to become empress with a loving husband and children while rashta dies alone and abandoned

Oh god!!! Why must u hurt me? (Anon that sent that Azure successfully separating wukong and Macaque ask) Imagine if Peng also built up lies towards Macaque just so all misunderstandings would form between him and Wukong. "Wukong didn't come back to you, he came back to him." "You have nothing worth coming back for. Nothing worth Fighting for." Macaque becomes more rage ridden and cold, not letting people or anyone into his life, but becomes dependent on Peng's validations in some way. And Macaque's plan is to actually lure Wukong back to himself and hurt him the way Wukong did to him, but he notices the hurt and lingering glances Wukong makes towards this odd validation dependent relationship he's made with Peng and he starts to question if Wukong still has feelings for him.

"Stop this! Go back to your husband! I don't even feel like killing you anymore, pathetic."

"Why won't you believe me? I never loved him! It's you who turned your back on me with that bird!"

"I didn't do anything like that! But you know what? Maybe I will! Maybe it's him I should promise eternity with. Not you. I'm so stupid, how could I ever even think it would be nice to spend forever with someone like you? You? Tell me, did you look for me? Asked if I was hurt? If I was dead?"

"... I never stopped. I found you. Yet I still feel like you're, gone."

OH THE ANGST OF IT ALL!! I LOVE THAT

Peng feeding Macaque lies and further having him in his grasp while Wukong is desperately search for Macaque and just being absolutely heartbroken at the revelation of everything is so GOOD

Nothing infuriates me more than in The Abandoned Empress when Tia is literally given the divine right to rule by God itself and still ends up marrying the fucking rapist crown prince and allowing him to rule as Emperor instead of bloody revolution and marrying her knight friend and becoming Emperor herself

#seriously I about had an aneurysm the first time I read it #I don’t care if he’s different/better in the second timeline #he raped and killed her in the first one fuck that guy #she should have overthrown him and executed the bastard #she was a better ruler than him anyway that’s where all his jealousy stems from #she should’ve named herself emperor killed the guy and married the knight #at the very least she could’ve married the knight and inherited her father’s duchy and told the crown prince to go fuck himself #the abandoned empress #key reads Manwha

[Analysis] The Abandoned Empress Should Have Been With The Knight! (Ending Spoilers)

Source: The Abandoned Empress

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting

I don’t know about everyone else, but I hated the ending of The Abandoned Empress. I’ve been wanting to discuss it for a while now but was unable to bring myself to write about it until now because of the disappointment I felt after reading the ending. Spoilers ahead, by the way.

For those needing a reminder, and perhaps those not yet reading the story but considering it, The Abandoned Empress is a a complete romance story available on TappyToon that follows the life of Aristia, the daughter of a prestigious knight’s family, House Monique. After a tragic first life where she suffered at the hands of her abusive, cold husband, was demoted to the position of a Queen while still having to do the Empress’s work because the chosen Empress was practically useless, and other pains, Aristia is given a chance to start anew when she awakens in the body of her 10-year-old self.

The god of the story, after seeing Aristia great suffering, gives her a second chance by resetting the timeline. She is given a middle name, “Pioneer,” something that is only gifted by the god of this world. By receiving the name, Aristia is given the freedom to choose a different path from the one the god had defined for her, allowing her to go against her fate of marrying the emperor, dying at his hands, and so on.

Throughout her second life, Aristia makes significant changes that positively impact those around her. She forges friendships, trains in swordplay to potentially inherit her family name, and even changes the course of her romantic life by gaining two additional love interests. However, despite the numerous changes in her second life, the ending of the story put her in the same place she was before–at the Emperor’s side.

This my main issue with the ending. Particularly because Ruvellis Kamaludin Shana Castina, the Emperor, and her husband fails to develop significantly in the story. While he supposedly changes in the second life due to Aristia’s influence, his poor behavior in the first life, including emotional and physical abuse towards Aristia and her father, is not sufficiently explained or justified. The creator(s) try to use effects from prolonged poisoning as an excuse, but that fails to address his one-sided vendetta against Aristia and her family by extension. Even more so when you consider that, in their first life, he was kind to his Empress and recognized as a good leader. Things that would likely not have been possible if his aggression toward Aristia was truly a result of poisoning. Moreover, Aristia’s love for him seems unconvincing and unfounded, especially given their history and the presence of far better options among her three potential love interests.

Outside of Ruvellis, there is Allendis de Verita, an administrative officer from her past life, and Carsein de Rass, a man who becomes a knight in her past life. In this new life, the two other love interests follow somewhat similar paths with Allendis de Verita taking on an administrative role but becoming obsessed with Aristia to the point of committing treason. Meanwhile, Carsein de Rass, once more becomes the youngest knight in history.

Of the three options, I think everyone can agree that Carsein was the best option. He goes blind for his friend and always puts Aristia first. He is caring, honest, and upfront, unlike the other two options who are individually abusive and manipulative.

Moreover, and this one is a big one for me, marrying him makes the most sense for her if she truly plans to inherit her family’s house.

Carsein is the second son of another prestigious knight’s family. As the second son, he is aware he won’t inherit a title and instead focuses on building up his own name. Because of his history training as a fellow knight, he makes the most sense for her to pick as a partner, since he would be able to enter under House Montique rather than Arisitia entering House Rass. He and Aristia would have made a great knight family together and also enjoyed a loving relationship. We see that the men of House Rass are very affectionate and loving towards their partners–even if their love interests are not as in love with them, they do not falter in their care and concern. Carsein very much lives up to this at the end of the story when he accepts that Aristia has chosen Ruvellis.

The fact that she chose Ruvellis, that she chose to become Empress, that she chose to stick with her former fate as his partner really left me, as a reader, with much to be desired. Her second life was all about building herself up as the rightful heir of House Monique, and she was granted that opportunity by the god of their world and her father, who stood in opposition of the Imperial family’s expectations regarding her engagement. At the end, she is still the heir, but that is an empty title that will be secondary to her role and standing as the Empress. More likely, one of her children will become the actual heir to the house, and that felt like an insult. I mean, even choosing not to have a partner or love interest at the end would have been better because of how poorly developed Ruvellis was by the ending of the story.

Overall, The Abandoned Empress was a fascinating story and had a great cast of characters. However, the ending leaves much to be desired, particularly concerning the character development of the male lead and the resolution of Aristia’s romantic life.

If you have read it, did you feel the same? Or, did you think Ruvellis/Allendis was the right choice? Let me know, as I’d be interested in hearing why.

ill delete these in a bit but I recently had an epiphany that orlais should be more elizabethan era inspired rather than baroque/1700s france, just so the difference to late medieval-esque ferelden isn't too jarring. And of course since it's my brand I drew a bunch of characters in historical clothing yayyyy featuring empress celene > florianne > my character from the last court (that text based game that's been deleted </3 her name is marie-louise)

#and the i can imagine anything guy. i can imagine orlais.. in the 1580s. #i really do wanna draw more (briala.. VIVIENNE.. sadly also gaspard). i dont even like celene i just had a vision #she always dies in all my abandoned playthroughs of dai. long live empress briala wooh
