They keep mentioning her passing the bar exam, her being a prosecutor and whatnot to show she smart.... but why is she so dumb!?
Maybe dumb was too harsh but not as "smart" as the author is hyping her up to be for me at least.
For example. In the beginning for her escape, she doesn't do any research or have a concrete escape plan. She wasted 4-5 yrs. She just burst out crying after being caught. What kind of "prosecutor" is that? If she did have clever plans, I wish the author would've shown us.
Who the hell asks straight out if your "villianous" husband has a deal with ur father? Obviously after all the things she did, of course they have a deal. But she should figure out What kind of deal. Isn't she a prosecutor???? "Please tell me what it is"... girl u a prosecutor! Find out. Ask more probing questions, investigate, connect the dots. What is the use of this prosecutor background when the author is not going to use it? It feels like the author just slapped on the "prosecutor" label to make her "smart" without actually showing us.
Even if she had a bias of the crown prince being nice cuz he the og ml, who the f just asks for marriage out of nowhere on a dance floor?? Was she smart then??? Hell no.
This would be better if the author didnt just slap on a prosecutor label to make the Mc smart. The Mc would look so much smarter if we could just see her figuring and decoding things on her own. Not "I'm a prosecutor so I'm smart".... it should be she's so smart she should be a prosecutor.
But do u see anyone in the story saying she smart? No.
She says its similar to her past life but she's not putting anything to use.
And her ultimate technique to get her husband to stay home is be sick?? She couldn't be more creative?
And this lady is rich! Why isn't she using her money?!?!
And why is she surprised the assassin went missing??? They already assumed it was the imperial family who sent the assassin. Why is she so surprised they would hide the evidence?!
Under pressure?? What pressure. She figured it out after she cured the saintness and was relaxed. Not during chaos. Also she has the cheat code of reading novel. All those hints helped her.
She not dumb. But she not as smart as the author is hyping her to be.
Gworl. I get what you're trying to say, but characters in a story can only be as smart as the author or atleast as smart as the effort the author put in. For the korean manhwa industry, with it needing updates every single week and mass producing stories, clearly the poor author probably didn't have time to flesh it out as well as you expected it to be.
Everything you say is valid but again, clearly the manhwa didn't put that much focus on it's mystery ish elements. But they really have done a good job with the characterisation and the plot and the overall coherence of the manhwa and you HAVE to agree that this one is way better than a lot others out there.
So cut the author some slack and read the story for what it is, instead of imagining a better story and expecting things that it wasn't designed to have from the first place.
Hmm, no. That is true to all mangaka, webtoon artist etc. And we still have great stories from other ppl. Heck sometimes even from ppl who do doujinshi. The excuse of not having time to flesh out your character so the story is not up to par is exactly that. The story is not up to par.
Yeah, maybe it's better than those stories that are like 1 or 2 stars but it is not a 5 stars.
No. Criticism is criticism. I'm not imagining anything. Just saying it is what it is. It's like those stories where they make the FL physical strong and keep hyping on it, only to have her be a damsel in distress and have the ML save her when she could have physical done it herself. Like why even mention it?????











I only read this cuz someone said the future husband-to-be had his own happy ending.... that was a complete lie! I feel bad for the future husband. They would've bonded so much better.
