the author tries to frame the mc as a clever, seductive villainess, but the writing leans on exaggerated dialogue and constant “look how smart i am” moments. instead of feeling genuinely cunning, it comes off as forced and a little corny. the mc is written like she’s always one step ahead. oh someone is picking on her? that woman’s husband is cheating. oh jediah is flustered by her? she wants the merchant guild, not his actual attention. oh her husband is complaining? she talks back to him like she’s got the upper hand. it feels like a gimmick. the author keeps trying to push this narrative that the mc is enticing. the countess likes her suddenly because she wore a dress from the past. the prince disguised as a duke likes her because she’s so different. her husband is starting to like her because she’s so different and alluring. that one guy is liking her too. even her knight blushes. and it’s like ? how did you all start to like her? there’s no real groundwork for why she’s so alluring. it just feels thrown together. i wish we could’ve gotten more development.
for example: the countess begins to like her after five chapters. let’s say, the countess was interested at first because she wore a similar dress from her debutant days. but then the mc shows how smart she is! they portrayed the countess to be this girl character but she folded within two panels? i mean, i like the story but with the recent chapters, it feels so corny. she’s not a villainess, she’s just playing a very bad role. also, maybe it’s because i haven’t reread the chapters, but how does she even know the baron seamus wants influence and is talking to the merchants?? like girl, you’re powerless, how tf do you know that?
I DONT EVEN LIKE THAT FUCK ASS REDHEAD GIVE ME SIR MIOOOOO MY HEART IS SHATTEREDDDD
i love the “stuck on an island trope” just not when it resorts to cannibalism (≧∀≦)
this is the shit that needs to be dragged on for 100 chapters !!! i love wholesome yaoi
i feel like this will lead to the butler bei n hired for fl’s family since he cares for fl
she better than me, would’ve castrated him and shoved his own dick down his throat
putting aside the risk boob to waist ratio, for some reason the body portions of the characters feel a little odd to me. i think their heads are too big and their necks are too thick, they look like bobble heads to me
put me, taeksoo, and taeui from passion in one room, and they’re BOTH walking out pregnant
FUCK IT if the author wants to make it toxic, we gotta go all the way. only way to redeem this story is 1.) he kills him or 2.) makes ian fall in love so deeply with him and then kills himself to make him despair
when we said we wanted old man yaoi…this isn’t what we meant…
she’s better than me. if my husband did that to me, i would’ve loaded my gun and found that mf myself and killed him
wait it’s kinda sad and bittersweet how the kitty was the only one who realized og elliot died
i hate these type of plots and i genuinely don’t understand why the author included it. i hate when a person in less power and authority suddenly becomes the most powerful person ever i.e. “oh he was actually the illegitimate prince” - “he got adopted by the duke and now he’s the next duke” - “he’s a prince from another country!” this whole “he was actually the illegitimate son of a billionaire” doesn’t make any sense. this isn’t even the og story now ? i was okay with the leads changing and now the mc is in the place of the og bottom, but now they’re making the poor ml rich now ??? dude his whole story is that he’s poor and struggling and that’s why his grandma died and he was tormented by og mc! why tf is he suddenly the son of a rich man ???
bahara my love..you never stood a chance why would the author bring in a second person when it’s clear mc and ml are only interested in each other. it could’ve clearly been platonic like with alice but NOOO because bahara is a MAN he obviously has to fall in love with her
this story is like if the cops caught me consuming drugs, arrested me and handcuffed me to a pole and then proceed to lay a bag of drugs in front of me. i’m going crazy. it’s an addiction and i need like 100 chapter by today
rip seohyun, you would’ve loved tumblr and twitter. my girl is the ultimate dark lord master
??? ain’t she his kid too fuck you mean concubine?????
helen’s dress is fucking ugly. it’s a crime to even claim that her dress is a matching dress to eliana’s. why would the artist put her in such an ugly dress! also it kinda bugs me that eliana is the only one wearing a bodycon dress when everyone else has a petticoat. so out of place
