Being the first to do it doesn't make it good unfortunately. No idea how they're gonna jus...

Ironically I think his redemption is like the one good thing/best part it pulls off. Which is why I think the genre has so many character archetypes so similar to him to this day.

Can you tell me when that happens? Because I stopped at chapter 23 because I got so bored
I might give it another try sometime

It’s gradual. Tbh I wouldn’t bother, it’s not worth it. I think the childhood arc begins to get better around chapter 40ish and keeps going good but it quickly falls off after the timeskip and she gets older. I stopped somewhere around chapter like 170 I think? You’d be better off checking out the authors newer works or other titles in the same genre. There are a lot of newer ones that do it better.

Ok, nice, I had it open in a different tab, I'm gonna close it now. I've read so many of this genre I started trying the ones I skipped over before, and this was one of them. Looks like I'm gonna skip over it again.
Thank you!

I agree with you; the concept and the world-building through the fairies and the FL's grandparents' era are interesting.

However, the FL never grows up herself nor gains any skills; her naughty, spoilt attitude was cute when she was a child, but those traits don't pass on well into adulthood, especially when everyone around her is way more qualified.

It was my first villainess/histroical romance manwha and it sucks to see how they failed the MC.

It’s kinda a fault of the era because stories like these all have a very solid starter premise but always fail to consider the end goal. They begin with good worldbuilding and action but often struggle with pacing and end goals. Like “what is the MCs objective” and the romance usually kills it entirely. Often it makes it end up feeling rather 2 dimensional and directionless, no meat to the actual story. The story has to actually be about something after you finish the period of the character adapting to the world.
