Thank you!!! I just stop reading when it gets to the good part. What a shitshow at the end
Thank you for this. I'm dropping it.
NOOOOOO AHHHHHHH
WTF welp can't be help #－.－)
Guys chill. Let’s all have hope for the manhwa artist to completely avoid that massive F and improve it to a W. Hopefully….(￣∇￣")
I actually love the twist but it could've been done some much better... It sounds like the author just gave up and did whatever just to finish the story
SO from what I could find this novel turns into a sh!tshow lol.
"If you want to fall in love with a lovely romance story only to feel completely betrayed by the last two volumes, this is it.
Everything was going well—beautiful development between the leads, heartfelt and fun moments, the duke discovering her true identity as a reader from another world, and their mutual love confession. But then... it all goes downhill.
Out of nowhere, Anri falls into an identity crisis. Despite having a loving husband, a luxurious life, and happiness within reach, she decides to leave everything behind to live as a man and go to university. This breaks the duke’s heart.
She’s incredibly indecisive throughout the story. First, she wants a happily-ever-after with the duke. Then she wants to “create her own story” and walks away. Later, when she learns the duke has been killed, she regrets it all and suddenly wants to be with him again. But it’s too late—his dream of being a good husband and father is gone because he's dead.
So what does she do? She contacts the author of the book and resets the story back to their first carriage encounter. Everything is rushed: they get engaged in two days, meet each other's families, and hop on a ship to France. That’s it. No wedding, no closure for the villain, no explanation for the murdered prince (twice!), the duke’s staff, or whether they have kids. Just… “Let’s sail off to a new adventure” and The End .
Many readers on Korean and English forums were upset. It seems like even the author didn’t know what to do after abandoning the romance and derailing all the characters, so she slapped on a rushed, incomplete ending."
The conflict about Anri not wanting to be “just a wife” was hinted at from early on, so her desire to pursue higher education had some foundation. But since women couldn’t attend university, she ends up leaving Edwin, disguises herself as a man, and goes to study.
The issue is that Anri never communicates with Edwin—despite the fact that he probably would’ve supported her and even worked to reform the laws to give women access to education. As a duchess, she had real power to start social change, but instead, she selfishly chooses to leave everything behind and turns to Erze, the villainess, for help."
That said, some manhwa fans still hope for a better outcome. The artist has already made several changes in the adaptation, so there's a chance the ending might be reworked.
