This webtoon is gonna be licensed later in february ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
On Manta (it’s an app and website)
It works with a subscrition system so you pay 3.99$ per month. Even if you read one manwha regularly it’s cheaper than paying for each episodes individually
So yeah, even if you can’t afford for more than a month, don’t forget to support the author ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

I hate how the story make excuses for the mother’s behavior witch BS such as « she didn’t know how to communicate with her child », as if that is a good reason for abuse #-.-)
Not saying that the father was any better though since he basically did nothing during Mc’s childhood
The BS hits close to home since I have similar parents and they would rather say stuffs like « we didn’t know how to handle you » rather than admit they are toxic people

The definition of abuse is not limited to physical agression and letting one’s starve. If that’s what you think, then that downplays all the others types of abuse (such as psychological) and their victims.
When it comes to neglect though, yes she definitely neglected her. The fact that she bought Mc dresses doesn’t mean she took care of her...
Finally, when it comes to the mother cutting Mc’s hair, that is not the only reason why I talked about « abuse », I took all of her actions into consideration. Even though, this scene definitely shows the signs of an abusive behavior and « being angry » is never a good reason.

Ok stop cause we missing a huuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggge chunk of her life to begin with and if you go back and see how they greet each other there is no way she was abused. Fl felt upset that she was kept out of the loop and that her mother didn't like her being a magician and that her father was hardly there but that about it. we honestly dont know anything from age 7ish - 17.......

We don’t decide whether or not someone was abused by the way they greet their potential abusor, that is not a reliable proof.
I am judging the mother on the scenes from Mc’s childhood. We have a timeline of how the mother educated her child and it’s pretty clear. We can make our assumptions because that’s the purpose of these flashbacks. And if you say that these are not enough for us to think that Mc was mistreated, then you can’t say for sure that she was not either.

Omg I’m wheezing! This is so cool and cute! I loved this chapter and it’s so nice that it got updated right when I was rereading the raws because I couldn’t wait! X’D I like Ripley, she makes the story fun and dynamic and with the duke, they make an entertaining bickering couple x)

In chapter 35 there is a very cute kiss

I read a (good) translation in another language and let me tell you the main reason why the characters’ actions don’t make sense is because of bad translation. For example, the mc’s inner monologue (that enable us to understand his intentions) is mistranslated. There is also a missing scene in a chapter.
Some people just don’t care about who translate projects - whether it is the original scan team or not - and read whatever come. And I would understand that to some extent if the current translator was doing a good job respecting the author’s intents and the thoughts she puts into her work. But it’s not the case. Reading this, you feel like this manhwa turned into a typical shitty BL with inconsistent characterization and an uke that accepts too much shit from the seme. BUT the original work is more subtle than that. Yet nobody can understand shit with this translation anyway ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ My point is this matter is not just about respecting the original scan team anymore but also respecting the author’s writing!! Put you in her shoes for a second: her work is illegally translated in a way that makes it look shitty.... (imagine yourself publishing a good novel but then someone translate it into a wattpad nonsense fiction lmao)
If you have infos about whether or not rainbow orchid scans is still willing to translate this project, I would like to know please ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ To them, thank you for your work and patience!
FYI, chapters are often uploaded by bots from an hosting site to another! It’s basic knowleadge for most scanlators and regular online manga readers. Hence the current translator’s note comes off as disingenuous / uninformed (or dumb).
*heavy sigh*
I like when both of the characters have a cute vibe and see each other as cute too ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
A refreshing read (⌒▽⌒)
