Imagine being gay and homophobic that shit is crazy to me lmaooo

mc: is described to be intelligent and perceptive
also mc: has not done anything that reflects intelligence or perception

the princess of shu is like those isekai manga villain where she was poised, graceful, calm and smart where the mc is the typical villainess that gets on everybodys nerve. well i guess having this kind of switched roles is okay. the mc herself has depth into her character, but not the way she was initially introduced so i was a bit thrown off to see what shes becoming

I just realized that after 21 chapters, this story feels like it has gone no where. It can be summarized all into 1 -2 ch but instead it’s dragged on by going into circles with barely any character depth. All ik is communication doesn’t exist here :3

I think that all of the characters in this case are very real, and even though their actions can be insensitive or wrong, I can understand were they're coming from.

I really like Somi, and I want to support her because of her personality. I get where she's coming from, and she has the right to get annoyed at Naru. He's her boyfriend but he almost doesn't seem to realise that. She's probably tried her best to put up with Sungjoon because he makes Naru happy, but unless she's willing to talk to Naru, then I don't see this conflict being resolved.

I can understand Sungjoon because he likes Naru in a society where there's stigma towards this kind of thing. I think, if anything, he's scared, which pushes him to make decisions that are, in the end, manipulative and generally not too nice. Perhaps if he were in an environment where he could be more open, then the story would have developed very differently. This is where I personally relate to him most, and that is why, even though he's a lil shit, I want him to be happy.

Naru is a fricking idiot, and he can be quite oblivious. He's extremely likeable IMO, but the way that he approaches things is quite insensitive. He's not thought of the possibility that Somi would dislike being around sungjoon, and he's way more attached to sungjoon than he knows. I can understand that he'd want Somi to tell him about her dislike for sungjoon as soon as she could, as he seems to be aware of his obliviousness to a certain degree. He needs to buck up and figure out a solution as he's the main character.


Ultimately, I just want all of them to be happy, no matter the couple pairing. and character development. that would be nice.

Back to ch. 82.
Well, what can I say? Somi has some guts and a very sharp gut feeling. Despite promising to to interfere that's basically all Sungjoon does. And his reason is what frightens me the most. I mean, Naru had a terrible experience as a child and has been desperately trying to overcome it as much as he could. But Sungjoon seems to be enjoying the fact Naru couldn't overcome it completely, and he keeps isolating Naru in misery. Like, all those discouraging words that no one will even understand Naru - what the hell? Sungjoon doesn't want Naru to grow as a person at all. I've seen something similar in real life, and it's terrifying to the core, it can distort even a normal person's sense of perception let alone someone as disturbed as Naru. So I can totally relate to Somi's terror in this situation.

Even Naru himself has admitted he needs to grow into an independent person (yet keeps wallowing in sorrow at his own convenience). I thought the neighbour guy would lit a spark in Naru (not meaning anything romantic here, although later on the author might tie them into a relationship later on)... doesn't seem the to be the case, at least, not now. Sora's boyfriend is right: Naru doesn't quite grasp the meaning of being in a relationship, he just likes the idea of him being in a relationship as it makes him seem normal. But that's just using another person in your interests... although he seems to genuinely like Somi, so he needs to work on his part a bit more. And Some also needs time to figure him out, he's some demanding fellow.

But I start seeing glimpses of what the author is slowly driving at. And I don't quite like what I see.

Fuck all these shitty MLs. My Queens deserve better.

I feel like this is likely to go down the route of "Oh, he was just misunderstood~" Or, "Oh deary me, his childhood was sad. He doesn't know how to act like a decent human being!!"
Blegh! Get that trash out of here. He neglected her for two years, and yet he has the audacity to get jealous when she so much as looks at another guy, this case in point her own guard who is likely the only actual companion she has in that stinky palace. What a fucking tool. She's not an object. She a Queen who's beautiful and smart as hell who is out there finding solutions for problems. While ML is just locked in his office being a sad sack with a protective group of followers licking his wounds cause it's probably going to turn out later that oh no his father treated him like shit. Oh no, he's being compared to shadow of another person or some other 'oh no pity him ' 'reason.' And all will be forgiven cause he is 'cute'.

Okay. I'm done. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. Hmu if you want to rant about shitty MLs with me thx.

He doesn't get what he deserves in my opinion so I'm going to stop reading but here is a Huge Spoiler I copy pasted by chintzy

So it's revealed that the "angel" isn't even the mistress but just a girl that Hubert sees as a little sister (which is why he was so ANGRY when Opal mistook her for a mistress, but seriously wtf did he expect). Opal even dryly mentions that no sane legal wife would put up with a non-blood related girl buzzing around the husband with the support of the "ride or DIE for our OTP" servants & when Hubert has to remarry after the divorce, his fiancee is immediately like "get rid of her NOW".

Hubert goes to Opal for advice on how to deal with this "overly headstrong" fiancee, but Opal's just like "why should I care, we have no relations with each other -sips tea-"

Hubert: but we were married for 7 years.
Opal: and now we're not. so again, why should I care about YOUR issues?

PRE-DIVORCE:
So Opal exiles herself to the attic to keep away from the obnoxious household staff (& Hubert) only to find during her readings that there is serious embezzlement going on in the duchy's finances. Hubert, being a colossal naive entitled only child, wholeheartedly believed in his staff & didn't check ANYTHING they sent him.
Turns out one of them has serious gambling issues - even when Opal brings this up to Hubert (with evidence), he's just like "you're an evil villainous whore, you probably made all that up to steal from my finances & take it over, how dare you accuse my loyal servant!!!"

Opal's just like "fuck this" & books it back to her parents' place, lays down what happened & they basically devise a simple plan to take over the duchy's finances in one blow so that Opal will now hold the power (since she can't divorce him - it'll just worsen her already horrible rep).

So Opal has a document forged & smuggled over saying that all the moneys AND properties now belong to her. And Hubert signs it.

Opal: "Btw if you kill me or if I die, it'll all just go to charity instead~".

Hubert throws a tantrum but he's beaten down by her logic (& also because she has all the power) & he finally calms down enough that he starts working hard for 7 years until he's able to buy back all his territory from her piece by piece.

He confesses to her that he fell in love with her & wants to marry her for real, but she rejects him.

I think he said something sappy about their first dance at their wedding but all Opal could remember was the fact that he accused her of being a whore right afterwards. And she says that to him.:blob_patpat:

POST-DIVORCE:
So Hubert's been bumped up to a B- rank in terms of male leads & that's mostly because he actually denies the rumors still floating in high society of her being a whore & actually tried to do something about them - making clear what the reason of their divorce was for (aka it wasn't because she cheated on him).

.....But later he gets jelly of her closeness with BFF & insinuates that she cheated on him & Opal's just like "why are you so disappointing....BFF's been out of the country for YEARS even before I married you."

BFF's the exiled prince of a neighboring country (hiding out as a baron's son) so he went back to reclaim his homeland & also to be a worthy man of Opal (but rip, she got married before that could happen - he's still putting down civil unrest & antagonistic factions even 7 years later). He respects Opal 100%, but sadly his friends don't.

They immediately believe the rumors of her being a whore & make comments to her why she's acting like she's not experienced with "those types of things" when she makes an offhand comment at a party they're all at.

Opal straight up tells them (politely) to fuck off & that she doesn't care if they don't like her, she'll stay out of their way & vice versa. BFF shows up & he's pretty disappointed in his friends, especially since they were acquainted with her a bit before the party started.
She might have dumped wine on them, I forget if she did.

Anyway, later she heads to the foreign country with BFF to support him but gets kidnapped by an anti-BFF faction & they lock her in an attic for now, saying that they'll spread rumors (since she a slut) that she ran off with another man in order to shake BFF's conviction.

Opal: how dumb do you think he is
Bad guys: it doesn't matter if he believes it or not, other people will

And that's where the raws end I think? With her stuck in the attic for now.

Bonus with the maid who bullied Opal the most - she ends up being kicked out of Hubert's household for getting pregnant (Opal: ..... *even more disappointed in Hubert*). Hubert talks about it like it's all the maid's fault & Opal's just like *men never take responsibility for their actions.....he could at least tracked down the father & not just kicked her out immediately.....:facepalm:*. Turns out she was swindled by a nobleman's son who promised to make her his wife (he did this with a lot of women). Opal is running a women's shelter & is trying to push forward women's rights (since she knows what it's like to suffer from misogyny after being denounced a slut for defending herself against a would-be rapist), tracks down the maid & offers to take her & her bastard baby in to one of the shelters.

Out of guilt (& some small bits of pride), the maid keeps refusing to impose on Opal until Opal's just like "listen I don't care about YOU, I care about your kid. You gonna let an innocent baby starve because of your incompetence?".

Opal gets testimonies from the maid & other women while BFF is gathering other evidence (nobleman's son was connected to some major bandit attacks along a highway so this is 2 birds with 1 stone). Together they destroy him in public, have him arrested for both charges & Opal finally gets the maid to realize that her child's father was 100% lying the whole time. Maid finally accepts to be taken into the women's shelter & thanks Opal repeatedly.

But honestly tho, Leslie said something REALLY important -“ why should the victim feel embarrassed about it?”
And that’s true , abuse is not something to feel embarrassed about, nor ashamed because your scars show your strength. The abused should NEVER be at fault . It’s the abusers fault , he/she are the ones who should feel ashamed and embarrassed for preying on a weaker or younger person.

Personally, what I liked about this manga was that she was focused on her work and magic - on the things that interest and learning more/getting better at them. Not for My Fair Lady when she's perfectly fine as she is. Even the character who is presumably her love interest seemed to like this version of her.

I suppose there must be lots of people who love seeing female characters becoming fancy and "ladylike," and that's why this is in here.

Personally, I feel that, if you're creating any world you want for your MC to end up in, it's really boring and backward to create one where your strong, intelligent, naturally-attractive-just-as-she-is MC has to learn to adhere to various conventions and restrictions for women. It's worse (in my opinion) because the ways it's presented and the amount of time spent on it implies that she is lacking if she can't conform to these things and that learning to wear impractical dresses, heels and a corset and to follow restrictive conventions is somehow empowering her.

I mean, fine if you want your character to have challenges in the new world, but you could make this world anything you like, and you choose to make it one where your naturally strong, graceful-natured and intelligent character gets put back in the box women fought long and hard to be free of. Like it's a good thing.

I'm not having a go at anyone who does enjoy seeing characters get blinged-up and dance around it pretty dresses. I'm just disappointed personally because it's the opposite of what I originally liked about this story. Along with a few other things, it seems to be turning into the kind of manga I avoid.

Lol if I was her, I would have gotten married to the rich old man. Taken a dagger with me and killed him on the first night , and then made a devious plan to push the blame to someone else. And then I would have lived my rich single life with one or two lovers on the side. I know I sound cold hearted but everyone has different ways of dealing with high society ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Let me explain: Yialos has one simple goal and that is power just like Meadea. He doesn't really care about Psyche, he only sees her as an easy to manipulate and control pawn. He never targeted Meadea as a candidate for marriage since she is powerful and equally crafty and smart, someone he simply can't control. That's why Psyche(in the body of Meadea) admitted how jealous she actually is of her being free and powerful. Yialos didn't suspect anything, in fact he really thought that was real Psyche, he just wanted to get rid of her for his plans. He is that cruel and merciless.

Wouldn't she stop blowing up, if she learned to control her emotions? It seems she only blows up when she gets emmotionally about something.

Don’t want to sound like a Chad but I don’t like her personality like there it cool beauty done right but then there her I can’t put my hand on why I don’t like her maybe it just not my cup of tea

No offense,though the story seems to be going well and I’ve taken a liking to it , however why is it that literally all of the stories in this kind of genres go this way, like how the main character had a regretful and sometimes pathetic life ;then at the most miserable time of their life, they turn back time to live a life without any regrets, i know it’s a novel full of fancy and imaginary things but i really would appreciate it if the story would continue even after the regretful life they’ve been living; it’s not like it would be impossible. In my opinion at some point it would even be able to give hope to some people who have lots to regret in the past, showing that you do not necessarily need to turn back time you can make everything even better if you try to live a better life even from this point on.
Again i say no offense. I’m just giving my opinion about the manhwa as i have the right to. I’ve been seeing alot of manhwas recently going on in this line of story. I suggest if you are considering writing about the life of a person full of regrets please change it a bit as i said. Thanks for all your hardwork.

I love how this manga present those two as siblings. They're not overly affectionate and sweet too each other. She sees him as a brat and he saw her as a meal ticket. Their interactions as siblings are realistic and hilarious!

I kinda didn't like the beginning so I stopped after the first two chapters... Is this manga worth reading you guys? I am afraid it is kinda obvious...

These “i woke up in a book/alternate reality” webtoons are all starting to blend together.

the originally story has strayed so far, I think Ares already picked up on the slight shit Edith has been pulling on Alicia and wants to ruin the proud princess LOL

mc wasn't kidding, her sister's novel has some pretty bad flaws.
Don't see how the original story's fans could support a rude MC who treats a somewhat important character(side tho) like that ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

Kinda cute to see the emperor showing like 1% of a soft side for his sister even if he is pretty realistically a shitty brat Lancelot picked up on that and I assume the guy he's thinking of must be Ares.

it is quite surprising, how short the "jump" was.
generally we talk of decades + another life. go and come back etc.
but this time around: 1 year back and be done.
