I might drop this.
and before anyone comes at me for no reason, this hasn't been a random decision. I've just lost trust in the writer.
I've been reading this since it's early days, when at some point this story was dropped by the original translation team for like 4 to 6 months and all we got was melted pages and ai translations that would melt your brain. When most people disappeared.
I stuck through it cause the main story was fascinating.
A cursed kingdom and monarchy, an heiress who saw ghosts and couldn't reveal her magic bloodline or suffer execution or the downfall of her family.
her going under disguise to save the prince and break his curse but also get freedom for magical folk. Even the flashback arc where we followed the couple who started it all and doomed everyone for generations to come.
The nuance of it all was just so fascinating and the love story thrilling.
Characters that acted grown cause they were grown folk.
but now I feel like the main story is lost in the trial to build a new one to continue this all.
maybe unpopular opinion but I feel like this should have ended when she went to the seaside.
Her spending so much time there just to reveal it all amounted to nothing was like a slap in the face to the stories og lore imo.
Like maybe hint at a reuniting to satisfy the romance part of the story but leave it open ended because now the true story could continue in their world (ikr counter productive to what I've been saying) but that's just my thoughts.
idk,
maybe I'll come back to it one day when it's finished and be proven wrong,
but even after writing all this I realised just how we started and what's been long forgotten for the sense of "fresh plot" and It's just not for me.

I'm a bit confused by what you mean by losing the essence of the original plot.
It's the start of a new season so obviously there's gonna be new plot lines. Not to mention, after the side story, there's a whole question mark surrounding the Vishtein kingdom and what happened to the third prince who, spoiler, is called Lucien just like ML's aide??
Also, the translation is really bad and it's clear a lot is not being properly explained, the official translation comes out in a couple days, so just wait for that before making a decision.

I guess the magic, this current plot is the second set up we've seen and it's showing it's moving to the political intrigue part which is a side of it's own but just that alone is a no for me. I have plenty more manhwa with that as the main plot with more compelling rivals.
honestly waiting for this to finish would be the beter way to go for me i think.

funny enough because of the side story I had the biggest whiplash when after all that everything was seemingly wrapped up (obviously minus the curse on the kingdom and the last secret), moved on and any efforts to continue the story (her going to the sea side) pointless. Like sure the corruption and cheating of the nobles there was bad but it wasn't what they were looking for.
I guess after a while you just develop some self love over multiple soul crashing manhwas ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

This story is testing me, I saw his necklace was gone and I got so excited cause then that means they took his damn ring too
BUT HIS ASS IS STILL BLOND!
THIS SHITY ASS THIEVE ORGANISATION! YOU CALL YOURSELF PROS????????
I HOPE THE WEREWOLVES TEAR THEIR ASSES UP!
I'm in literal tears right now ╥﹏╥ I just wanted our demon king back!
I don't mind the minimal romance and honestly find the story lacking when it focuses on it. Like this girl was put through hell in her previous life, who cares if they kiss and hold hands. Burn that family to the ground and the people with it ✧ヾ(☆▽☆)
Nah I personally like it because everyone and their mama says if you get your revenge you feel empty. But she gets to have her cake and eat it too. She is literally living her best life as she makes her enemies suffer slowly but surely. And when you ask her what she will have when it all said and done she can say an empire with subjects that adore me and a husband that favors me and friends that are irreplaceable. It makes me want to smile devilishly
ikr, like yes evil queen, have your moment!
The contrast of her family squirming and her “I’m spinning like a ballerina” is delicious
Yeah legit though. Prioritise ruining that family and getting your revenge. Romance is just a bonus hahahaha
Glad I’m not the only one
