Lee Yeon, a college student majoring in Law, one day runs into Kihoon, his Sunbae* and former middle...

I haven’t read the side stories yet and never will because things went downhill fast. The arc where she’s a child, bonding with the MLs, is the peak of the story—nothing after that even comes close. After the time skip, she and every other character become increasingly annoying until you start regretting spending time on this.

I kept reading only in the desperate hope that all the MLs would fight each other to the death and that the MC would finally start using her brain—but I was heavily disappointed.

If you like stories with obsessive, possessive ML whose only personality trait is liking the MC despite barely knowing her, then this is for you. But don’t expect anything else (she isn't even mad herself even slightly she just ignores what he is and what he does to continue living in La La land). Every character—MC included—becomes dull, uninteresting, and one-dimensional. Even her extended family is just there with no real depth. By the end, the system has more personality than the main characters combined.

Recently, historical romantasy manhwas have been getting worse and worse. I'm desperate, so my expectations are practically underground at this point—I don’t care if it’s full of clichés or lacks originality, but damn at least execute it well. Spoilers ahead!

This one is such a disappointment that I can’t even make it past chapter 17.

Strike 1: The story teases us with an interesting dynamic—the FL seems like a true villain, bloodthirsty and unhinged… for about five seconds. Then, like magic, she transforms into the ML’s obedient, blindly loyal puppy.

Strike 2: There’s a scene where he chokes her in her sleep under the guise of "training," straight out of a bad Western romantasy novel (I can’t remember the name, but the MC was the whitest special snowflake to ever white). Worse, he finds it arousing, and she has zero issues with it.

Strike 3: She’s been mostly useless, dull, and uninteresting—except when she thinks about revenge. But those moments never last long enough to be satisfying and the rest of the time she is just his lapdog.

Strike 4: Everyone acts like a five-year-old with no common sense. Even the supposed scheming villains are too dumb to be a real threat. If the enemies are so incompetent that defeating them is child’s play, then what’s the point? It just isn’t engaging. Dumb emperor is one thing but the family of both leads sharing 1 brain cell is just too much.

Example: The empress hates the emperor because he killed her family—a valid reason. However, this also means she has no political backing, making her essentially useless as an ally. Yet, for some unexplained reason, both the MC and ML are desperate for her support. (They want her to crown him after he usurps the throne but is she has no political standing it's the same as some random person doing it.)

Now, back to the point—she has a cat she brought from home and absolutely adores. During a ball, she overhears the main characters casually mentioning it, and instead of handling it with even a shred of composure, she impulsively causes a scene. Then, she drags the MC outside, yells at her, and collapses into sobs three seconds later. Her reaction is understandable, but it reinforces her weak character, complete lack of political acumen, and emotional instability.

If she were the protagonist, with room to grow and develop, this could be an interesting arc. But as a side character who will probably get zero meaningful screen time? She’ll just miraculously transform into the smartest, most cunning woman in three chapters—out of nowhere if the creators could even write a cunning character.

Don't waste your time with that.

The best part of finding a new manhwa to read is being delulu about how it's gonna end. Imagining how after years of unhappy marriage she finally sees the blond ml for who he really is and leaves him to find happiness either with the dark-haired ml or on her own is much better than suffering through 150 chapters of her going back to and forgiving her abuser which is probably how it ends.

Can someone explain to me why monsters r*pe people? I have seen it many times but I still can't get my head around it. They are completely different species and lack common sense, so why even bother? I get simply killing or eating humans because of "survival of the fittest" but how does r*pe relate to that? Also if they do for some reason r*pe humans why stop at girls (or humans for that matter)? Not that I want to see it go both ways but why would they make distinction between genders? It doesn't seem to be due to a need for reproducing so there is no obvious explanation. Overall, the story has some potential (ignoring the many potholes) but it repeats meaningless and boring cliches that don't lead anywhere or/and aren't consistent. (For example why r*pe every other girl but keep FL to eat? Or is it only some monsters that r*pe? Then why some do while some don't?)
