I'm writing a very long analysis post about Elriel and I don't want to miss any scene to back me up.
So, I wanted your help to find with me an Elriel scene or scenes (can be easily more than one, that would be better) where Elain and Azriel show comfort with one another. The more complete the scene and which book came the better.
Some details to help us identify them is that "their posture, facial expressions, and overall demeanor are calm, open, and welcoming when they're together. They don't feel the need to stay guarded and can simply be themselves."
It can be just a passing scene, but I'm trying to find the little clues SJM gave us about the Elriel romance building since they met.
Thank you!
It seems the new cover.
Look at the date under the screen: July 16
Hello! I don't know if it's my algorithm, but I have been recommended "Between Life and Death" by Jaclyn Knot and "Wish" by Sara Flanagan several times.
I wanted to know from non-influencer people what are your opinions.
Thank you!
Look, I love a good yandere in love girl getting their ass kicked after causing mysery to the FMC and sometimes the MMC too. But I'm getting tired of always the same girl with different name, different hair and maybe dresses and class position, but it's always the same poses, the same degree of obsession and cartoon insanity, attempts to kill the FMC (a lot of time with poison), and existing purely to lose.
When I discovered Stepmother's Märchen, one of the first things that called my attention was Ohara. In the first timeline she was the betrothed to Jeremy >!who made Shuri believe she wasn't wanted by Jeremy in his wedding because!< she was jealous of Shuri close relationship with Jeremy, >!and that's how Shuri ended up in a carriage with few guards and died!<. But in the new timeline, you learn much more about her, like that yeah, she was jealous, but her attitude was explained in a human way, and that she was a victim, like all of the young characters, from the adults. Was it justified what she did in the first timeline? No, but there was a human explanation to understand she didn't act out of malice. And you end up loving Ohara at the end.
I don't expect another OI to have the same level of complexity SM gave us, but I would like to read a story where a rival girl is just a lady who genuinely believes she is the correct match for the MMC. That she's not "I love him so much I’ll destroy the FMC for daring to court him!!", but more alike "The FMC is disrupting an arrangement that benefits everyone."
Is there something like that around?
I don't mind it if it's a manhwa or a novel, I like to read novels too.
Thank you!
