The Duchess of the Attic - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

Reading this just makes me angry.
First, she didn't even do anything to mend or even deal with the rumors that popped up because of the incident. She could have called for an investigations to make it so that people know that she was actually almost assaulted rather than it being a meeting with a man. She just accepted the rumors and allowed herself to be labeled as a slut.
Second, she could have at least explained to her new "husband" about the truth of the rumors. She just went quiet and felt bad for herself.
I tend to like stories like these because the FMC are usually strong-willed or has a charm that makes them likeable, but this girl, she just irritates me.

@LayZzz
Yeah... I'll go along with it for a few more chapters (if it gets translated further) before I decide to drop it... She seems like a retarded character that won't really do anything herself

 

[Fuko]

It would be perfect if it was isekai

"However, the Duchess doesn't like losing, so it won't end like this!" according to the description. The fact that she didn't even try to correct or deal with the rumors does not support this sentence. She excepted her loss and moved on to something else.

i'm expecting a pro at plotting. not a pro at being the plot's victim...

@LayZzz : I mean, there was SIX years that was skipped (the incident happened early on in her first year, she graduate after 3 years, then 3 more years skipped), maybe she did try but nobody listen cuz 'oh you're just making excuses hohohohohoho' nobles.

Alternatively, she was meek before, and only after getting into this position that she decide "ok fuck them all, fuck this house, fuck my father, I'm going to make myself so independent I don't have to rely on them for my life"...her now being old enough to considered an adult and thus not have her assets belong to her family might also factor into this.

Looking for some inner meaning the culprit of all accident is her father thought..

And do you all ever experiencing narated public shaming..?

 

[Siquall]

So, she was attacked in the garden, and others crap nobles immediately said she had affair with multiple mans because of this ?
Wow, slow down ppl. It's too unnatural, someone must be behind this.

 

[blueoddog]

Damn this seems as if its gonna hurt

 

[fffume]

4 10*'s with only one mediocre chapter? People need to chill out.

 

[Hoezell]

As far as the description goes for this chapter, that's a lie.

 

[versub]

The plot makes 0 sense or author/artist is bad at explaining/portraying events and situations.
Why would everyone suspect she's having an affair with a person who broke into her house at a party.
Why would her dad(?) marry her off to some fallen duke family? What are the circumstances that lead to it and what are the benefits?
Why wouldn't she protest against the marriage?

so on and so forth.
this is just lazy writing

 

[Hollow7F]

man girls in otome have the shittiest luck ever, also am i the only one that thinks that the childhood friend was the attacker?

 

[alonerone]

Weak woman, can't fight by her ownself

 

[Karma95]

Feel like that was a bit of poor writing right there, I see the plot wholes and just the nonsense.
But im desperate to read new things, so I guess ill see where this goes :/

 

[cherokeemoon]

awww poor opal... poor bby..... poor wittle itty bitty babey

 

[labanbes]

here are spoilers from someone that I accidentally read,...

I dont really know how it will happen but

Spoiler

Opal will be able to improve her territory, and the blonde male lead will eventually fall for her, and wants to marry her for real, BUT Opal doesnt want to and divorces him. She marries with the brown haired male lead (her childhood friend) instead

from the novel that I read using google translate lol /sighs/ like the first 3 chapters because Im getting confused

Spoiler

Her father is wealth obsessed because her mother died early. And hes really all about reputation.
at the duke's house his houseworkers it is Opal that they consider the mistress . She stays in a separate room far drom the masters where blonde and """angel""" are staying together. guys the gotdamn servants are so fickng mean and rude to her (I wish she leaves him penniless)

 

[Reademup]

Hope things turn around for her, unfair she is a victim of an assault but the ppl around her twisted it to make her a slut.

 

[Pokari]

Wow, her new husbando is really getting off on the wrong foot, huh.
