This started out so promising, but soon began to go downhill. It's vastly different from what I thought the plot was going to be like. The Emperor ignores his child for 9 years, gets angry when she tries to lead the country when is presumed dead in battle, tries to lock her up again, denounces her existence to her face, but suddenly cares enough about her to take a magic bullet for her and then has the nerve to plead with her not to abandon him!! WTH?? And after all this, she still wants to stay in the palace?? Also, no one questions how she knew the Dark Magic user of the forest?? Nobody??
9 Years Later -- Nothing is resolved!! They aren't close; no parent to child relationship. They don't have any sort of connection. They eat together a few times and that's it. No development; and now it's onto the next phase of her life in a human body. Which I might point out again -- nobody questioned her about that conversation with the Dark Lord all those years ago. Instead of skipping over those 9 years, I wish there had been some progress on their relationship, which is why I started reading this story in the first place to see some Father-Daughter dynamics in play. Disappointed.
So, now that she's in a human body are wishes going unfulfilled?? ⚆_⚆
I just started reading this, but parts of this plot reminds me heavily of the "Happy Ending for the Time-Limited Villainess" story. Red-haired villainess in love with a White/Silver-haired Duke, makes a deal/trade with their life, coughing up blood, ends up in a contractual marriage for a limited time.
I'm not saying either author plagiarized the other, but the usage of certain elements, shows they were definitely inspired by one another. ◔ ⌣ ◔
I don't know if the adaptors or the artists are tired, but they sure are moving quickly to end this series. Season 1 ended with Ara and the Gang still leery around each other and trying to find a working balance without revealing too much information about each other.
Season 2: We got the Gang hanging out in Ara's palace like its their second headquarters. No sense of confusion of being too welcoming or nice to Ara despite what they are planning to accomplish. Now Ara is a full-on asset to the Rebel Alliance. The sense of needing to be confidential, quiet, and quick as the Gang schemes in the shadows is completely gone. They sit around her home and openly plot against the royal family. Ara is gaining way too much insider information about the rebel leaders, albeit she already knew most of it, so I can't fathom them wanting to kill her now.
It's not just the art style has changed, but the mood and tone has changed too. The first season had a feeling of suspicion, melancholy, and grim resolve. This second season is too brightly colored and moving much more faster than I would like. I'm almost tempted to drop it due to the change in direction by the author/adaptor.
I can understand the group's frustration with how slowly the story is moving, plus how obtuse and dense the MLs are toward each other, but this is a breath of fresh air considering some of the other stories I read on here. I still smile and chuckle at it, so I'm still here for the long haul.
(Latest chapter, 42, I secretly want that Cat Flex shirt. ^_^ )
Sleep wakes in beast world. Befriends wolf and kinda white lion. Returns her world for 10 minutes -- back to beast world; 10 years have passed. Summoning circle?? Suddenly white lion wants to be her mate?? Wolf is too shy around FL?? Healing magic?? Traitors?? Whaaa...@_@
What happened to my strong FL?? She isn't a poison queen nor is she adapt at being a cultivator anymore. The first few chapters she shined brightly, but soon her shine started to dull and she couldn't do anything without help from a male. So many plot points dropped: being a poison doctor, traveling the country, the virginity beast transmigration, finding out the truth about her father's death, and other little major incidents.
Also, it majorly bothers me that the FL is 13 years old while the ML is over 100 years old. Couldn't the author have written her at least as an adult considering how many men keep lustily chasing after child-form. I thought this series resembled Hades and TongTong -- I was grossly mistaken; they aren't even close, and I regret thinking they were. Hades & TongTong are way better leads than this couple.
This was a good idea that's been poorly executed. It's like the author decided to put every ABO cliche in this story: traumatized omega, pretending to be a beta, SA attempts every day, hating being an Omega, in heat/releasing pheromones all the time, and savior good Alpha. This storyline is so disjointed and unable to follow its own plot from end-to-end. I don't know how this story made it pass an editor as the panels don't flow making it feel like 3 different people were working on this story and none of them talked to each other. Seriously, don't read this trash otherwise you'll end up with whiplash trying to follow the plot.
I was hoping for something better considering the use of "feisty" in the title. I thought it would be an established throuple and sexy hijinks between them with modest drama.
I didn't add this to any of my reading lists as the plot seems derivative of other stories with the starting points: forced/contractual marriage & nasty (untrue) rumors about the other party. So much so, I ended up scanning the last three chapters to see if anything interesting happened to the FL. Nope. So far I only really like the FLs brother as he is the only person who has his head right: knows his family struggling financially and wants to get a job, doesn't truly accept their sudden blessings, and advises his sister to not throw away her life for them and to runaway. For now, I'll not officially "drop" it, but I'll bookmark it and see if it gets any better after some marination. And if it continues to follow cliche: have the female runaway pregnant or leave pregnant and have the ML struggle to find her years later.
What do you mean "The End"?? Did this get canceled?? There are too many loose ends for it to be ending now!! What about the possible revenge from the moneylenders?? Or MC regaining his freedom?? Was the ML officially approved as the heir to both sides of his grandfather's business??
I feel cheated out of a real second season. ☹
I let this marinate for a bit hoping it would be over when I got back to it. But, alas, it wasn't, so I decided to catch-up on where I last left off reading it. Hestia is awesome, but I totally forgot how gorgeous Caelus is in this story...so many many times I had to resist from taking screenshots of just how beautifully drawn the ML is...so so pretty. And the story's good too.
Let me get this straight -- you (FL) think the half-brother who tried to rape you will help you get a divorce from ML without any immoral actions/thoughts on his part?? And you trust going back to him -- to that home?? *smh*
This is such a sweet story with very little drama. But it does make me wonder if all mermaids start off as fishes before transforming into their mermaid form?? (●●)
I need more chapters, I'm not ready to let them go, plus there were a few loose ends that needed closure. (I wanna see the sister in her mermaid form and the underwater society.)
(So, are they just gonna let the kids swim unattended and not worry about sea predators or fishermen??)
Once again, I was really thrilled that a manga I thought had been dropped had finally updated only to see that it wasn't a real update -- just another uploader who thinks the official version needs to be uploaded here. >_<
Did MC learn nothing from being with the mafia for 17 years?! He is ridiculously unprepared to exact any revenge for himself and his family. He doesn't have his own team to help him, very little knowledge about the underworld of SK, even less political acuity, and his freaking knives keep getting broken. I kept hoping he would call upon his mafia family for help once he found himself barely threading water, but all he does is continuously fall into his cousin's traps. Seriously, did MC only learn to kill and nothing else?? This is a good story, so far, but someone should slap some sense into the MC.
Although, I see the end of the tunnel for this story, I'm struggling to get there. Honestly, I lost all interest in this story once the true crux of the plot was revealed. Hopefully, my pain won't be prolonged and I can finally move this to my Read section. (︶︿︶)
I'm only on the 1st chapter, but why didn't his teammates just quit and form their own guild if they were out for the money and not the people?? They could have easily spun their disassociation due to ideological strife or something similar to paint the MC in an unappealing light, instead of resorting to murder. Plus, this chapter is reminding me of another, better done, hero betrayal dungeon manhwa. ◔◔
My love for complete villainy has risen once again!! MC is an utterly insane psychopath and I am here for it!! Plus he's really pretty.
