My Happy Marriage (light novel)
| So, I'm up to episode 5, where the supernatural kicks-in a little more than average... and yet, I still can't stop feeling like it didn't need the supernatural theme because it hasn't done anything to make it worthwhile so far. Up to this point, everything would have worked better, or equal, in a normal setting. But what everyone else thinks? |

| otherwise the story will be so typical and predictable. There are so many works out there with the same plot after all. so yeah the story needed it |
| Nah I don't think that's true at all, it's an integral aspect of the story. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| I low-key agree with it, it feels out of place in this type of theme. |
ktg said: I needed it because that's why the main girl was treated like that in her family. Normally if someone was born into a wealthy family, they treat them with care because they will take over the family. That is wrong, Miyo is a result of a loveless marriage, her father did not wanted to marry Miyo's mother, he was forced to, so after she died, he abandoned her. |

| I don't agree, I think it's necessary for the story to continue |

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| TL;DR we mostly disagree with the "supernatural theme shouldn't exist" |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| I agree. The main theme seems like to portray the social structure of [some time period] in Japan. The historical aspect makes it likable but the unreasonable display of supernatural powers feels out of place. While having a realistic theme the supernatural aspect is not very well blended into it. |

If she had the power the marriage was arranged for, he would not have abandoned her and treated her as poorly. It’s a mix of both. |

Both things are true … The mother was in a loveless marriage But the daughter was also persecuted because they claimed she didn’t have her linage’s “power” |

Thevsamovies said: Well, since you asked for my opinion- I think that this is a seriously bad take. There are 6 episodes left (technically 7 since you're only on ep 5, but 6 for the rest of us). You can't dismiss a plot point when the series is only halfway done. Sometimes plot actually takes time to develop. Seriously, what is this take!? Do you think certain narratives should just be dropped unless they are immediately dominant in the first few episodes they are presented within the story? And yeah let's just overlook the fact that the primary motivations for many of the show's antagonists have been related to the supernatural... This post makes no sense. 0/10 It's not about being immediately dominant. It's about how much coherent it is with everything else. If you're going to use superpowers in such a sophisticated plot, you have to make it reasonable, not just a device to rationalize the motivation of the story. Since magic itself is counter-intuitive to being with, any involvement in a realistic context requires a careful world building. |

| this show is about bloodlines. each family has their own brand of supernatural power, and some are renowned as very strong, such as kudo and miyos bloodline. this is integral to the plot. it being a supernatural show is literally its skeleton. its the reason miyo is sought after, the reason she was abused, the reason the lovers have enemies. to say that the supernatural is unnecessary means you don't understand the plot of this show. |
| Without it there'd be no motivation for the antagonists |
| Agreed lol Is a bit odd |

He remarried when his wife died and his new daughter had spirit sight but Miyo showed no sign of power so he abandoned her as being worthless. I just said that ๐ |

| Nah, after the last episode of Kiyoka being a badass I think the supernatural aspect is legit great for this series |
| I would have preferred this anime to be a mature period drama without supernatural powers, but I'm order for that to happen, the villains need to stop being so comically one dimensionally evil, lol. |

| I don't know, but I've caught up with the manga, and I think without that theme, this would have turned into a purely feel-good romance story. However, there's a significant possibility that if not handled correctly, the supernatural theme could potentially ruin the plot. |

| Author just wanted an excuse to justify the absurd drama and in-your-face abuse towards FMC. Not to mention adding a supernatural aspect would attract way more readers/viewers than your average romance-drama story. |
| Author probably wanted a Cinderella with some elements mixed in. But thinking about it, Cinderella has some fantasy powers too. |
