I don't mind a lot of chapters for any manga, manhwa, or manhua, but you gotta at least keep the story line interesting. All long series have areas where they drag and the between feels like filler, but if you have it too often then you risk losing your audience and plot. And this manhwa has accomplished that for me. It dragged on way too much and I feel like it's deviated from the original premise of why Calliope went back into time. So, I gave up. It started off very strong but somewhere it lost its plot.
I'm more interested in Renee using her skills than seeing her hookup with a potential ML. I actually want to see her use her abilities in fighting monsters and training Seydin. What's the point of taking him as a disciple when we don't get to see her teaching him anything. I need my girl to let loose and shine in front of everybody and not get held down by a love side quest. Also, you know, if she has time, find out what happened to Larin and the OGFL.
She keeps mentioning her former brother in her last life, but is he going to show up? Is there going to be any resolution on this major-minor plot point in the storyline? Or was it just needless background filling for the protagonist? The story kept hinting that her brother was in this world with her, so I figured that's why she was pushing so hard to be a commoner in order to hide herself better from him. I'm disappointed if this is how it ends without any major conflict with him that leads to a better life for her. Because as she is -- she is still very much broken and in need of more therapy than making bread can bring her.
Re-read. While the unofficial translation was full of grammatical errors, I think it was slightly superior to the official translation. The official translation changed some minor details to connect to an international audience. That being said, I also noticed that the original scanlation has been removed or uploaded over, which is a shame as it gave notes and cute translator reactions to the storyline.
As for the story itself -- too short. Juheon forgave Kang way too easily. Kang should definitely thank Muchan for being tsundere/yandere type toward Juheon and tried to use the sister to trap him. Forcing Juheon back into Kang's arms. Instead I wished Muchan would have changed since HS and seriously sought a real relationship with Juheon and challenging Kang's right to be back in Juheon and Taeyang's life. Kang barely repented, still struggles with trusting Juheon, but he still won in the end using his family's money and power.
WTH??!! That's the ending?? What kind of redemption arch was that? I feel let down!! I wanted to see the CP suffer more; I wanted to see a chase; I wanted to see them reconnecting using communication. I wanted to see the General have a good ending. I wanted to see the sister get what was coming to her. There are so many threads left blowing in the wind with this sudden ending. I know the original novel was hugely abusive so much of it was toned down for the manhwa adaption, but whole sections were missing!! So, the CP (now Emperor) went on a bandit killing spree; found Yeon after 2 years; rescues him; says I can't live without you -- and I'm supposed to accept that ending?! Trash!! I refuse it!! >_<
I'm having a hard time reading this NOT due the upcoming manipulative behavior, but for that nasty apartment. BLEACH!! Use it please!! Yes, you're in a financial tight spot and you don't live in an elegant neighborhood, but that's no excuse for your living environment to be so dirty. The amount of mold in that apartment is driving me crazy and grossing me out. I can barely focus on the story every time the main characters are inside that cramped area with all the mold growing around them. All I wanna do is donate a ton of bleach and mold resistant paint to the MC to clean his place adequately and make it actually livable.
Dang, Sooyoung!! How big of a red flag do you need?! It is flashing furiously in front of your face!! Open your eyes!! Also, you have crappy friends!! All of them can see that huge walking red flag named Jihwan, but none of them are saying anything to you -- not even a secret message!! Red flags. So many of them. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
It's time for a inter-planetary, inter-speceices, inter-dimensional war!! Warriors assemble!! It sucks to be on Earth now!! Just think if they could have held out just a little bit more, Kang Min probably would have returned to Hela since he was so tired of the humans on Earth. But y'all got greedy and now it's time to pay the blood price for that greed.
While it was probably hard for others to read, I miss her lisp. I figured with Mia's first awakening as a demon it would disappear. But the official translation didn't even give her a chance to show that kind of growth.
We need to put out an APB (all points bulletin) immediately on the missing Papa, Baek-ri Uigang, as he's been missing in action for several chapters. I assume he may have been abducted by one of his many rabid fans!!
This manhwa is highly dangerous!! I've read it twice and now I have 5 shelves full of assorted teas!! (▰˘◡˘▰)
Poor SY -- possessive people everywhere he turns. Also, this comic has some serious side-eye action going on in it. I couldn't help side-eye glancing around me as I rereading from the beginning again.
We have a former assassin who is now auditioning as Lt. Dan with the help of Roman Dmitri. ☆_☆
I'm laughing clapping like I'm on Family Feud -- "Good Answer!! Good Answer!!" And it is -- if you're in battle, unless it's a mock battle, your best bet is to properly kill your opponent when they are scared, confused, or unsure of their abilities before they discover a hidden strength or determination. And if you're only out to wound them, you know those people always come back for revenge, so the best solution is total annihilation from the start. (▰˘◡˘▰)
I heard this was dropped, so I was super excited to see an update, but the art has changed. Jinsung doesn't even look like himself; also, where are your glasses?? That is seriously bothering me. I know new artist like to put their spin on the characters when they take over, but can't they at least try somewhat to copy the old art style, so fans don't get that jolt when they see it. The last thing I'll mention is Seyun at least looks better in the new art style, in the old one she looked raggedy and worn out. Now she's much prettier without it going overboard.
The story is interesting and the artwork is very soft...however, it bugs me. The FL is supposed to be young and vibrant, but she looks like a middle-aged woman in most of her depictions even her pre-isekai awakening flashbacks she doesn't look mid-twenties. I think once at the orphanage she kinda looked young. As for the ML he (to my eyes) isn't that pretty/handsome/cute as the story raves. He's all right but that's about it. Whenever, I see his face all I can see is a little boy playing grown-up in his father's clothes. He looks awkward most of the time and less like a war hero beauty. That said I'll keep reading and perhaps the shiny eyes will finally drag me into them. (︶︿︶)
This story gets boring after the ex-husband and the mistress incidents get resolved. Afterwards, it becomes a slice-of-life series where the Countess gets involved in one issue after another with none of it is pertaining to the main premise of the story. While I applaud the author in tiding up the main part of the story in several chapters, I can't condone this meandering plot that comes later. It feels like it doesn't have any substance and the author is reaching for drama just to make a quota. You wrapped it up. Now let it go author-nim.
Seeing all the hate for Jina/Shae in the comments breaks my heart. I'm enjoying her character and herself as a true otome otaku. I just want her to have the realization that because her brother changed his character, and the game's potential MLs, the true endgame is a BL finale.
Story stop pop-blocking me!! I need my Daddy and daughter reunion!! Also also, I'm starting to slide to the Team Yayul side.
