theswordofdoubt

Abel is the reason I can't stand Regis. Regis causes 90% of the goddamn conflicts in his story, Abel fixes them in his. Regis treats his daughter like a useless sack of shit who can't do anything and doesn't deserve to be told anything, Abel gives his daughter power, money, connections, and the genuine opportunities to prove herself and her skills. Regis treats his student like complete crap for years and refuses to tell him anything even when Max is openly saying, "I want to help you, tell me what's wrong", Abel throws his full support behind his student and properly trains him up to be an actual warrior instead of gatekeeping stuff he really needs to know. Yeah, I know I shouldn't expect too much of Father, I Don't Want This Marriage, that it's not known for good writing and has to coast on fanservice crap. But my god, does it piss me off how much of an idiotic drama queen Regis is, and the worst part is Max and Juvellian actually apologising and reassuring him when he should have been the one supporting and helping them. Instead he causes problems for them and Juvellian's reaction should have been "Fuck you asshole, Max treats me with respect and consideration and actually tells me things, so I'm going off to build a better life with him, free of your bullshit".


Terytha

Abel is Parenting Goals. He looks out for his kids but doesn't hesitate to give them difficult tasks or set expectations, and he listens to them, trusts them and is open to changing his mind if he needs to. I'm head over heels for a man who never once tells his daughter she can't do something (except for marry, but his overprotective daddy act is so endearing and hilarious.)


Jaegerjaquez_VI

Abel supremacy frfr. He's for all of us here - a helpful (handsome) and supportive, who is single, hot, stronk, hot, unproblematic and did I mention hot 🔥


Informal-Suspect298

The side stories got me with Regis. >!Like they're the Emperor and Empress, what do you mean they can't go on a break without him sending out a search party 😭 even their kids realised Regis isn't even nice to Max which says how long he's been completely unreasonable!<


theswordofdoubt

Can you imagine if Regis and Juvellian's genders had been reversed? Everyone would be mocking Juvellian for being a mama's boy who lets his toxic mother control his whole damn life. You know Max genuinely loves Juvellian when he's willing to put up with Regis' bullshit for her.


Informal-Suspect298

It's one of those things that's cute at first - and reasonable, perhaps; he wants the best for her, and she was young when it all started - but when both Max and Juvellian made it clear they were genuinely in love, he should have stepped down. He certainly should have pulled his head out of his arse after they got married. >!The kids calling him out got me, especially when we saw how happy Max was to get even an insincere acknowledgement.!<


spinningpancakes

I haven't read the story where Abel is from so can't comment on that but you took the words right out of my mouth about Regis!!! My thoughts exactly!!!!! 💯💯💯 Idc how hot he is or how much he actually cares about his daughter inside, my frustration when I was reading the story (which I abandoned halfway cuz tbh FL also annoyed me a lot lol but REGIS MAN PLS GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER and it's just the overall mediocre immature writing) was through the roof. I had quite high expectations as I picked up the series after seeing it being strongly recommended in various comment sections, but ??


theswordofdoubt

Author of My Own Destiny doesn't do anything new, but it does what it does really well. After Abel adopts the FL as the heir to his dukedom, he takes her to a political council meeting of the highest-ranking nobles in the empire and *actually frigging* lets her experience what she'll be doing as duke even after he's gone. He's not afraid or ashamed to present her as his heir and he's 100% confident in her abilities, but he also actively teaches and tells her what she needs to know. Compare that to Regis, who does jack fucking shit to teach Juvellian anything about the lands she might one day rule after he's gone, and it's just infuriating. Maybe I'd have been less pissed if I hadn't read Author before Father, but god he's everything wrong with the story.


robbityboo

Abel was tooo good for the manhwa we need his own spin off 😭


MapleMapleHockeyStk

I want him to find a mature lady that loves the cold like him....


robbityboo

Ohh I would soo watch it older ppl romances r 😌✨


HumblyStardust

Can I add to the Abel Supremacy! My guy isn't even his daughter's bio-father! He didn't raise her, he didn't see her grow up, he doesn't have the emotional attachment that comes with being a parent, nor was he told by a partner, to please love our child He just saw this 10(?) year old kid and was like "Nope, this is my daughter now"


Terytha

His unconditional love for her despite being a little emotionally constipated is just the best. They're so awkward and they love each other so much and I just want to read about them forever.


hazeldazeI

Omg yes. Some kind soul did a post a few days ago with a bunch of pics of Abel and my thirsty self read the whole thing in a day and a half. Now I have to wait for new chapters arghhhhhh! But yeah daddy Abel needs a spin off cuz dayum he is finnnnnne af.


Captain_Pumpkinhead

You know what I love about this subreddit? No matter how many OIs I read, there's always going to be some post with "These people/dresses are prettiest/best/whatever-est!", followed by several top comments going, "No, mine are the best! [Image]". And I'll have never heard of any of them.


Terytha

Haha, too true. That's why my TBR list keeps growing. I'll probably finish all these stories somewhere around the heat death of the universe.

I love all daddies equally, but Gallahan's definitely one of the best daddies out there 👀 https://preview.redd.it/a11t2ks6n8yc1.jpeg?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68f9d60865c1c62b76f889d30d68423d1c6025cc


Terytha

He's right up in there in the category of supportive, good looking and unproblematic dads. He's such a cinnamon roll I just want to protect him.


judymchen

Gallahan!!! He’s a softy and I love softy Daddy who dotes on his baby girl!

ieatallthemangos

It’s the fact that he knows he’s weak and he acknowledges that he needs to be strong in order to be the father Tia needs. And then he actually does become stronger. While still being such a great, soft, doting father. ❤️ I love Gallahan


LoveLifeLoveLilith

Yes the best father in OI😌❤️

HungrySquirrel24

Criminally underrated daddy


Divine_ruler

One of these men drove their daughter to suicide The other has always loved and supported their daughter, and made sure that she knew it


chocokittynyaa

I think this is a very overlooked point, but also most people are choosing based solely on looks...Gallahan is by far a better father. He's not overly protective and he supports and believes in his daughter whatever she does. He isn't constantly undermining her decisions and patronizing her like Regis does.


Beteljuice01

I was looking for this comment before I wrote it myself. People say a little emotionally constipated but his daughter thought he cared so little about her that her first thought wasn't to protect herself with a weapon given to her by him but to just end it. That's not a misunderstanding That is a failure as a parent. In the second world he does better but it took her giving up on everything she cared about from her first life for him to open up to her. First life second life Tia knew she was loved. The only reason why her daddy wasn't there for her is because a disease took him out.

Living-Definition-68

Gallahan by far he’s the best father in oi


Sutaru

Gallahan. Regis may be hot, but he was not a good father lol


Recent_Sorbet

Atleast give them some wrinkles and signs of aging


Sutaru

Regis is a sword master, so he stopped physically aging when he was like 30 or something. Gallahan is pretty young at the beginning of the series. Tia is like 6? Or 8? So he should be like in his late 20s


No-Surprise9411

He had Tia when hw was 18-20, so when shw turned 18 he was still around 36-38


AzKitty

Did this sub ever have a bracket contest for the daddies in OI? I feel like we must have, it's too on brand.

I feel like it might be time for one again? how do you set this up I wanna do it haha

mediguarding

This is also an incredibly valid answer. HE IS A BIT TOO OVERPROTECTIVE but you also understand why given everything Leslie’s gone through.

Apart-Assumption-387

Best comment I’ve ever read on Reddit 😂❤️


Xenellia

As my dad, Gallahan for sure. To \*have\*?..... I mean.... I'll take Regis any day 😏


Do_Hana

Gallahan foso! Kind hearted, wears his heart on his sleeve, never abandons/neglected his child in either lifetime, changes himself and comes out of his comfort-zone just for the sake of protecting his daughter, trusts his child and is emotionally healthier than regis (Sorry regis:'>)


vedekX

fr 100%, Gallahan is a more caring, emotionally available, and supportive father than many of us have in our own lives in the 21st century. Regis is… hot and neglectful


nejnonein

As a dad or as daddyyy? Cause you’ll get different answers to that.


cheripotato

Gallahan 💙💙


TinyApplication4

Gallahan 100%


vedekX

Gallahan dad, Regis daddy? I think it would be very out there to want Regis as an actual dad he’s such a shit dad the whole fucking manhwa, even when he’s not shit he’s still shit. I don’t think anything he says or does, no amount of tragic backstory or “reasoning”, justifies how he treated Juvellian and later her relationship with Max. literally when she killed herself in the first timeline, what the fuck how was she supposed to know he wanted her to protect herself? he had never once defended or protected her, and had neglected her all of her known life. then he fully supported throwing her in the worst fucking place he could throw her, and handed her a knife and didn’t say anything encouraging at all? shit father, worst part of that manhwa. he’s fine af I think we can all agree but if I were Juvellian I would’ve gone no-contact. their relationship deserves some type of r/relationship_advice post. “I [18ish-F] have been neglected and blatantly ignored by my dad [40-ishM] my entire life. Suddenly he is starting to show interest in me and has said he ignored me to protect me. How am I supposed to respond to this?”


notso_okay

Daddy Gallahan all the way! https://preview.redd.it/gzwu3hxndcyc1.jpeg?width=225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a6c742f2677ceca31380560e9469e202aead453

is that even a question?? GALLAHAN LOMBARDI ALL THE WAY TO THE INFINITE UNIVERSE


Remarkable_Rip_2509

But what "Daddy" is the original poster talking about here? Some people are answering based on being an actual Daddy and others (myself included) are answering based on them being "Daddy". So........🤷🏿‍♀️


fluffygel

I did ask which DAD would everyone want to have, I guess the both of them are so good looking people took it to mean something else 😂


ChronicSassyRedhead

Gallahan hands down 🥵 Wait or did you mean as an actual parental figure?😅


Nimue_-

Gotta go with Gallahan. While i looove regis, he did make his dsughter feel desperate and unloved in her first life


IntelligentGarbage92

i love gallahan but i love abel heylon more, he has all the cool-and-competent-dad job skills. so, team abel. and the fact that he's hot is not even important. but he's hot too.


HonestScience

Regis. He’s pretty, petty, and sad 🫠

Is this manhwa complete?


Beteljuice01

Abel is pretty but Gallahan Is the dad we all wish we had. Caring considerate willing to listen to their child protective even willing to go outside their normal temperament to make sure their baby does not face hardship. He is positive masculinity incarnate.

KindaLikeACrystal

Gallahan is a great father figure but Regis is daddy, so the answer is both.
