i COMPLETELY agree w u fam
i'm glad someone shares the same opinions as me, but i don't want to create an echo chamber. i hope even people who don't agree with us are able to read this and divulge in an educated conversation. i also hope this story gets better written and adapted even better than the novel!
I just wanted to praise how well construed this was. I personally agree but out curiosity (and hopes of a greater plan or unexpected twist) I’ll probably continue reading until it finishes or I eventually lose interest, as I do with most things. I did enjoy reading your review though >~<
Oh thank you so much! I really appreciate that haha.
God I wish we would have more dimensional characters. It's almost too easy to root for the main character; she's an abuse victim who went to another abusive family where she's mocked by one-dimensional characters whose sole personality is "evil and shitty." wow. so compelling.
let's see. blondina's character traits are...
nice to cats and sympathetic to people. incredible.
i don't want to mindlessly shit on this, but when you look at it objectively the story is relatively bland and the characters are all one-dimensional. all of them. Amon is a possessive cat boy who will beat anyone who touches his property, i.e. blondina, the siblings are spoiled and for some reason incredibly hostile, the emperor got blinded by his greed and doesn't give a shit about really anyone other than his two children he raised, and blondina is just a naive victim of abuse who likes cats and can talk to them. the mom is *so* far just a plot device, and her step father was just abusive.
if you want just general cliche's with a possessive ml, in a scenario VERY similar to jacob from twilight, go ahead. but so far, the characters do not seem well written and i see no further reason to read a story when there have been several opportunities to make compelling characters. the ML is too creepy for me (people calling others "theirs" is incredibly concerning for me).
let me predict the plot: she finds out she's descended from the goddess who was able to talk to amon's ancestors and that's the reason why he doesn't instantly kill her. her step-sister tries to kill her or manipulate her, maybe her step-brother is killed, her father either a) becomes sympathetic or just full fledged villain, and there will be no real suspension of disbelief. amon is possessive in a yandere-esque way, and her character will become one who just is okay with what he does and when he hurts people due to her upbringing.
this is a long post, but if you look at this story constructively it's just
very bland, cliche, with poorly written character archetypes. if you're fine with bland stories, power to you, but if you're constructive with what you read, i wouldn't recommend this, at least with how it currently stands. i HOPE that it becomes better, but first impressions are forever, and if they try to make characters more dimensional it really won't work.
