I never hated Wilfried. I have been frustrated with him at times, but that’s as far as it goes. Does not mean I thought he was fit to be Aub. That’s a different topic entirely, but I still saw him as a frustrating child who needed better guidance and needed to be protected from many of the adults in his life.
Archduke Candidates strive to be worthy of the Title of Aub because it is something that is normally earned. The unworthy can become worthy if earning the title aligns with their desires, that's why we normally see Candidates competing with each other for the title. For Wilfried, it's not something that he really strives to be worthy for because he didn't really have a desire to become Aub. Only the people around him wanted him to be the Aub, including Rozemyne because the job would make her too busy to enjoy books. Because the title was assigned to him since birth, it was all he ever really knew and is just trying to meet his parent's expectations. When he can't meet these expectations, he's essentially being forced to take on the title anyway against his will all while being insulted on never being good enough over others who actually want the title like his sister Charlotte. I think this will resonate with readers who share similar experiences. For Wilfried, I wish for him to find his true calling in life and to pursue it with the same passion as Rozemyne and her books.
You know… I just thought of it… but… If Melchoir just tends to the temple and does the deep dive similar to Rosemyne, and learns her compression methods, and perhaps learns additional ones or discovers how own, he COULD rival maybe the royal family if not reach Rozemyne’s (earlier) mana levels depending on the gap… What if he ends up doing the prayer thing at all those temples at the academy while he’s there just pouring his mana in regular and is suddenly gets the g-book. You can bet your bottom dollar they’d be marrying him off to one of the royal family members… if not full-out adoption… Cause you know… I can see Rosemyne being Zent, but I also see many bloody carnivals due to her reading time being non existent. ;) 😂😅. Meanwhile she could support Melchoir easily regardless of where she ends up.
"We" is a strong word. Give him 3 seasons. I give it a 15% chance for him to not make another foolish blunder. There just wasn't anything to bash him on. And I'm not about to make memes bashing my fellow fans. Edit: "why don't you forgive him? Don't you feel bad for him you sociopath?" The best apology is changed behavior. Wilfried has still not apologized but rather took a victory lap of the chaos that's about to follow while asking "what happens to me." If I am to believe he's a changed person he still has to not treat others like their achievements belong to him, treat the retainers of others with respect and not order them around, learn to stick to the script he is given to avoid chaos, and start treating Rozemyne like the actual ally she has been for him since before his debut. I am not one to accept that a character has changed until its demonstrated.
Well, as always, Wildumb is treated as softly by the community as he is by his entourage, he really is a meta character. Unfortunately, that very kind of treatment is an aggravating factor for him, meaning that, in many ways, Wildumb's fans are his worst enemies and the very people who are the meanest to him :p. And I really wrote " aggravating factor " and not " very reason ", since Wildumb isn't the " good kid at heart " that so many people desperately want to see in him. Sure, he's easily swayed by others but there is a consistency in his swaying : every time he has a choice in what advice he should follow, he always chooses the most comfortable for his ego, that which is the most convenient for his short-term comfort ( in his own subjective perception, of course, and he's way too short-sighted to succeed every time ). Could a so inherently self-centered and egotistic person really be a " good one " ?
Personally, I think melchior will be the next aub ehrenfest. Why? Among Sylvester's children he will be the oldest male that will be affected by the reform in the academy. Specifically, getting the divine gift near graduation. What that means is melchior would acquire his wand that matches his max growth. Add to that, he started taking his religious duty early, which means he has a good chance of having plenty of divine protections. Add to that myne's mana compression.
If I was near Rozemyne or Melchior, I would need to be in a very, very high rank in the Kingdom. "Sir, as adorable as those two are, picking them up and giving them 'wuggy' hugs is entirely inappropriate. I don't care how much they like it or how every looks so envious they can't do it."
Hopefully tomorrow the next prepub will get to the good stuff. Namely, how much Roze’s retainers are going to flip their lids when they find out whats really going on
I am not 100% up to date, but you do great work on a topic I want to keep up with. Do you run games (ttrpg) in this setting? I am curious since I would like to run or play a game in this setting.
I will be honest here I hate Wilfried but I must admit that this hate is less than the hate I feel for Sigiswald (his name disgusts me). the reason of my hate for Wilfried is not that much but it is simple: he gets manipulated too easily and time to time keeps forgetting just how much Rozemyne has done for him and Ehrenfest... he is a good brother but not a person who can ever love her romantically because their relationship was started as siblings he is a good guy indeed.. that being said he is just not suited for the Archduke position, and it is not his fault, he never worked for the position (thanks to Veronica and Sylvested thrusting the position to him).. In fact I don't think he ever even wanted it, THOSE around HIM wanted him to take the position. I pity him honestly.
Can anyone think of a single time Willfried has expressed a desire to be aub. Meaning something like “I want to become aub Ehrenfest” not “I am going to become aub Ehrenfest” since that was a statement of fact. I can’t but it’s a long series so I might have just forgotten.
I'd really been waiting for this one part from the web novel, as reading a poor translation really didn't do the scene justice. I think this bit may have been my favorite weekly Bookworm chapter yet.
i honestly do not get the Florencia hate. She is not in a position of doing things in the way people want her to do, either by cultural nurture or social setting. Was never fully onboard on the Willfried hate train but I do still find him exasperating, like, by the gods, will it kill you to think a bit more (insert THINK, THINK meme)
Id say while its nice Wilfried finally is expressing his own thoughts, hes not fully in my good book. He definitely abused a couple of his retainers and acted immaturely and irrationally. Time will tell if he truly turned a corner or if 5 minutes after this prepub his retainers will say something else and he’ll follow again like a lost puppy
I don't know if my hate to wilfried disappeared completely. Maybe my impression on him now is pity and maybe not really care. Because all my hate already move away to royal (especially duo lovebird (especially again eglantine) and siggy). So, sorry wilfried, you move from "hate" character to "not care" character. Maybe I have big impression in this part in charlotte. When her path is open again and see her sparkling eyes, I feel kind annoying for a second. Like "are she not care about her brother that can be killed if this happen?". But if i think objecty, she even not see wilfried as her brother. 😂😂😂 Poor him😢
@@TheChatteringMagpineeds one or two wilfried big moment from kazuki sensei to make him move from "not care" chara to "pity/sadboi" chara for me.😂😂😂 I hope this volume give that moment. 😅
The duo lovebirds really don't deserve your hate unlike siggy. I could write a 6 paragraph comment on why but I'll leave it with this. In Ferdinands letter we learn that Roz is going to be forced to move to the soverign temple next year at best, Anastasius and Eglantine don't have the ability to stop this since siggy, who as the next king has more authority than the lovebirds, is supporting it. By making Roz obtain the grutrissheit she will move to the sovreingty when she marries siggy. Now how many years are there until she would be married (hint: more than one, also the adoption isn't planned since they didn't know it would be required). I hope you realize that having Eglantine obtain the grutrissheit and starting a war that would bring Yurgenschmidt to ruin due to Siggy's obsession with the throne is not an option.
@@salie7714 I understand your point. But what I hate for this lovebird is how the threaten rozemyne. If they really want to, they can talk nicely, not talk like "ehrenfest problem is their problem, no one will care" in front of ehrenfest ADC or talk like use ferdie as hostage. And as someone that think highly to them (not really to A but to E), I feel betrayed. Ps. And after Anastasius apologize to rozemyne (in underground library), I still feel bitter in my heart. That's my opinion
For the charlotte not caring about Wilfred, she definitely does not have positive feelings about him. She expressed before Wilf went off the deep end that she doesnt have sibling feelings since she wasnt raised with him and since him and his retainers were acting like the backend of a smelly donkey, id doubt shed have many positive feelings left. Id guess shes in the “he didnt care when all this was screwing me over so why should i care now”
Absolutely NO WEB NOVEL SPOILERS on the comments. Thank youuuuu~

Melchior is radiating pure good boy energy. Much headpats
He's just so sweet and earnest >.

The turn around was os immediate that it dominated like 90% of the discussion in the reddit thread for that chapter and I find that hilarious XD

Now Wilfried needs to open his eyes to how horrible all of his retainers except Lamprecht and Alexis are and we're good. :D

I am prepub and Wilfried is still on my « don’t give a damn anymore list » even after the start of that volume. Sorry, but he really crossed a line.

not a single time he strongly desires to be the Aub..soo..

I will be filling out that Wilfried apology form. Humble pie for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Now, Siggy, your turn to be my lightning rod of hate!

Why does Wilfried Ehrenfest sound like Sans Undertale
Y'all better write and submit your Wilfried apology form >:(
