It's funny. I wouldn't mind if it delves more into mystery genre though! Something like maybe there's fake Meridian/Kyros (?) outside that's deceiving their family or they find a dark secret in the island...
Rereading it again, I'm very sus of Sally the personal maid, as the mage in the cloak :(
Ginger be like (づ ๑❛3❛๑)づ
Wish she's a bit clever tho :( also I don't really like how Ginger/Lijerie here are so head over heels over men like they'll solve all problems in the world
Trueeee, the way Ginger looks at the prince is just .... smh.
Wow I love Kate so much, she's level-headed and calculating smart (instead of wicked smart or textbook smart like other stories of similar genre). The romance is subtle but intimate, love ittt.
Wow, this is really good. The worldbuilding is quite developed (the concept of magic, the politics of the country, the monster/djinn beasts). And I like that it has little romance so far. I'm very much enjoying this as a fantasy read rather than romance read, and I hope it stays that way.
If I got to nitpick tho, I don't quite like how Nadir is portrayed as the absolute evil villain so far. I'd rather he has his own reasons for doing what he did rather than just being whiny "I'm just an illegitimate child anyway~~" and feeling somewhat inferior to his brother.
At first I was curious because everyone seem to have rave reviews about this, but upon further reading I could see why the original publication wasn't popular.
My main problem is the writing. I had to wait for 32 chapters to know the "truth" that has been hinted since chapter 2-3. Meanwhile, what I see is a boorish FL that doesn't seem to have manners, slightly ignorant, and flirty, who also deceives people around her.
Only after the truth was revealed that she was redeemed in my eyes and I felt less annoyed. But then again, I feel like the Oracle thing is just a plot device to be thrown around a classic romance plot but with reversed gender. The Oracle issue is the one that causes the whole thing but it wasn't touched for tens of chapters. So.. that's that.
It's unfortunate but I was just really agitated during reading. Which is a shame because the art is exquisite.
I felt upset because Eliana was surrounded by people who couldn't see her worth, from her discriminating father, greedy sister, foolish king and thoughtless crown prince ughhhhhh I'm angry!! Greed was the only good thing that happened after who knows how many years of her life
I ded several times reading the last chapter because Nine was so cute
So we will never know what Haru was going to say, huh.
I wouldn't mind William x Charlotte, not at all :)
