Father I Dont Want This Marriage — Chapter 1

Whew, diving into Father, I don't Want this Marriage (Mature) Chapter 1 really hit readers hard! 💔 The first chapter sets a deeply tragic stage, leaving everyone heartbroken for our poor Juvelian.

A major theme in the comments is how Juvelian is perceived. Many argue she's absolutely *not* a villainess, but rather a victim of intense neglect and circumstance, yearning only for love. The scene with the dagger and the prince sparked a lot of debate: Was the dagger for self-defense, suicide, or something else entirely? And was the prince trying to save her or torture her? The lack of communication from the father, especially, left readers baffled and frustrated.

Speaking of the father, Duke Floyen... talk about conflicted feelings! 😂 Readers universally agree he's incredibly hot 🔥 (seriously, the art!), but his actions in this chapter – neglecting his daughter and then giving her a dagger in prison – earned him a lot of ire. There's much speculation and debate about whether he had hidden good intentions, with some readers who've read ahead hinting at major misunderstandings and even a regression twist involving him.

Overall, despite the intense sadness and frustration with the characters' actions (especially the father's!), the chapter is seen as incredibly impactful and has many hooked, with some even rereading for the 'ultimate misunderstanding' reveal and the eventual character growth. The art is also consistently praised!
