Went back and skimmed the whole thing and I guess its cute? Everything from her disappearing the second time to the end wasn't that great though.
Still not a fan of the art, though the colors are pretty, but I did like the Pharaoh's hair and some of his outfits.
I did think long and hard about why I didn't completely like this and I figured it out. Minus the time travel thing, I read a harlequin historical novel with similar plot and a different pharaoh. It did kind of involve magic and time travel but there was no going back and forth and she was from the 17-1800s + there was no recorded history of Egypt for the heroine to draw ideas from.
I read through the first 10 chapters and I have to agree, it's just not interesting to me. The story lays heavily into the romance, particularly teenage romance which is on my opinion unrealistic/childish and annoying. The main pair meet for the first time and are immediately attracted to each other, do not consider it to be love yet are ridiculously jealous and behaving like selfish kids. The FL would've been beheaded ten times over for her insubordinateness. And after she came back we suddenly hear how the brother would like to be more than siblings but is aware that incest is no good. Although I like the ancient Egypt setting it's not enough to keep me entertained
Right? It was too hard for me to take it seriously. Funny enough, I found a manga mentioned in the comments as having a similar premise, Ouke no Monshou. It was made in the 1970s and the main female lead was even more irritating, but I liked that more than I did this because it makes the story setting more interesting.
The story is just so cliche I kept cringing in second hand embarrassment. Even with the setting its like other Chinese manhuas I've read with the domineering guy and the headstrong girl and instant attraction = love. It was cute, it just wasn't that memorable.
Exactly. This seems to be a common theme in Chinese manhuas, maybe that's why I've only read a few of them. I often end up starting one just to quit reading it after a few chapters.
So true, funnily enough chinese BL stories are more interesting than the shoujo counterparts
I have to agree with you =_= I don't give a crap about ancient Egypt and the ML is soo annoying and cliche. I'm not even going to talk about the problems and how dumb the FL.
I skimmed from chapter 50 to the end after going through some of the beginning chapters. Its cute but very cliche. I'm also not a fan of the art, sorry. Even though the setting is ancient Egypt its pretty typical Chinese manhua.
Besides, the setting is surprisingly not interesting to me. I guess my interest in ancient Egypt began and ended with yugioh - and some cartoon I watched as a kid ╮(￣▽￣)╭
