Need to take a break from this atm (she got him decrowned and it’s the hunting event now - Murdock!! TwT).
So, the FL is a modern Korean woman who's been in the workforce for a few years and is pretty smart, is what I’ve gathered. She was able to realize early on that the family is VERY powerful and even rivals the power of the imperial family - potentially even trumping them (since she can still win an argument with them in public - the imperials don’t just auto win). She ALSO found out kinda early ish that the original chick forced the engagement to go through. This is where I start getting annoyed by her. To her knowledge from the story, the prince NEVER liked the original chick. Now that she found out that the engagement was also forced on him by said chick, why on earth would she be pissed at him for cheating? She has 0 experience or knowledge of this dude showing affection toward her or the original. PLUS she is smart enough to know the power of the house vs the imperials. Why on earth does she want to take revenge on him (all arguments with him stem from him being forced into marriage)? And to get the crown taken from him? For cheating? I thought this woman was smart. That’s what her character was portrayed as when we started this ride and it’s what they keep showing with her business acumen, people skills, and overall foresight. She’s not a teen doped up on hormones unable to control her anger (as she’s proven she can keep calm in infuriating circumstances dispute being mad, MULTIPLE times now). Why does she want to take revenge on him as if she’s actually a woman scorned??
Yes, WE as readers now know that there is a whole lot more to this story: the queen obviously taught her messed up stuff and emotionally damaged her, that made her do some major mental damage to the prince in turn (this spreading of the trauma was shown through the prince having nightmares), and apparently they DID love eachother in the beginning of it all (this was also shown as the prince’s memories, not the FL’s). But the FL still doesn’t know any of this (I suspect she needs more memories to figure it out, since she hasn’t indicated that the webtoon said anything about it). Hence why I’m pissed about her char at this point.
Otherwise, this is an alright fluff piece (I read toxic stuff sometimes so this is pretty light for me so far - could get more intense with the mental issues tho)
TL/DR: FL char writing is broken & prince getting his crown taken for revenge makes no sense - could’ve been approached differently. Otherwise, story seems ok as a fluff piece. Tired from the FL nonsense, so will read the rest later.
