it’s been so long since i’ve felt like this while reading a manwha. it’s where you have to take a break from reading because the plot is getting intense and you’re scared something bad will happen to your characters. so you scroll on instagram for a bit to chill a little. AHHHHH i love it so much i don’t know why, it just has it all.

in the beginning i wasn’t so sure about the art. i thought the faces were a little wrong? but THATS CHANGED the art is so beautiful i just thought Sid’s face was a little disproportionate to her body but i got over it and overall so the art is so beautiful. and the gifs and chibis are so fucking funny i laughed out loud so many times. it has my favorite chibis where the characters are drawn squiggly hehe.

i’ve become so attached to every character i cant stand any one of them getting hurt. like borderline too attached I HAD so much anxiety when it was the thick of it. I TOOK SO MANY BREAKS. and deep breaths

i think sid is one of my fav historical manwha mcs. she is the first female aura user, she learned swordsmanship during her time in the circus and then worked her way up to the second order and after she got into the first order. although she did go back into the past, her character and skills made it believable that she is genuinely just beyond talented. at no point did i think her past life knowledge or luck contributed to her successes. she’s just a talented knight. and with her personality she even improved her skills even more after her regression. her character growth is so cute. she is finally living her life. experiencing family, friendships, and love. it’s so heartwarming. but even though she has changed her rigidness in some ways she still conducts herself to the the same morals and values. and that is so refreshing to see.

VEREMUD DARK HAIR AND FIRST EVER HETEROCHROMIA ML IVE EVER SEEN asdfghjk he is ugh beyond chefs kiss. he is so enamored by sid AND THAT confession scene with both of them confessing they love eachother and making it official to date ASDFGHJK and when veremud confessed I WAS KICKING MY FEET asdfghjk
AND MORRIS!!! the second ml syndrome in this one is SO BAD. i was so fucking sad for morris. this gentle man breaks my heart.

there is miscommunication but it’s not FUCKING ANNOYING ITS NOT its ust enough they communicate when it’s needed and im so glad SIGH

but the villain/antagonist part of the manwha is still a little iffy for me. I LOVE and hate it at the same time. like it’s doing an AMAZING job making me hate HATE the emperor, but he is kinda one note. he is just seen as a power hungry monster who cares about only himself. and the mages seem kinda dumb? DONT GET BE WRONG i hate them like when he poisoned sid and when the mage cult leader kicked sid into the wall i was about to throw hands. so they are doing a very good job of making me hate them. but they are a little one note. i wish we had more of a story or more layered characters and problem. also i do think the scene where arcana saved sid and veremud was a little bit too lucky

114 IS BREAKING MY HEART VEREMUD’s face
and i FUCKING love when veremud glared at the crown prince and said, “but… i waited three whole days” asdfghjk that whole interaction was beautiful.
