literally can't get over how mid this story is ;-; people are saying it's super good but i'm 45 chapters in out of 80 and all i know is that she's an airhead and he's cranky. i say cranky with a grain of salt but airhead with my whole chest btw.
the mc makes the story feel like i'm reading a children's book. her thought process and little quirks are very... immature i guess you can say? like she's genuinely childish. i think theyre trying to make her funny/cute/lovable but it's not hitting for me, she's a grown ass woman acting clueless ugh TT
the only time she is smart or makes good decisions js WHILE she's cooking. anything other than that is as if she's a dunce who doesn't know anything EVEN THOUGH she's from another world + lived her life as an (abandoned) princess. what really did it for me was when she first defended her "sister" against the emperor. like girl you know damn well............
i never understand why people are like "why would i feel bad for a character who had their whole childhood+ to confess" as if being childhood friends ISNT a big reason why they never want to confess. losing someone who was such a big part of your life bc of a confession is a possibility that can happen in real life (happened to me lmao) so i feel for oushi. he took it very well and i really love his dynamic character.
tbh, at first i didn't trust itsuomi due to my trauma of having hot male leads be trash lmfao. turns out this whole manga is fluffy and just what everyone needs in their life!
good storyline and mentally strong fl.
in this list, you'll see more of a 'mentally strong women', which means smart, cunning, calculative and quick wicked.
i hate it when a 30 yrs old woman gets reincarnated as a 5 yrs old and acts like a baby + extra hate when they have a crush on a 5 yrs old so i'll try my best to not add those weird ass stories and instead add tolerable ones
i delete many of the stories i add later on if they become boring etc. even if they have a strong fl <3
the actress girl and hyeondo's relationship is actually a pretty good depiction of toxicity and attachment i'm shocked. i'm also shocked as hyeondo deadass stopped loving her and cut it clean off! most authors drag it out for fkn ever until the last 20 chapters lmao. he's in my top 5 list for sure.
also really like the aromantic representation here. it's fucked up how it got brought up but aye at least it exists u don't see much of that tbh
i do like the ML because i feel like he can change but like, i wish there was a 3rd guy or something. idk who or what kind of guy, i just don't want her to be sandwiched between a manipulative cheater and a guy who fucks girls like he's clearing dailies lmfao
i love how adorable she is but holy shit get a bike or something. how many times is she gonna be in her ex's car????? when she hates him so bad??? like if i was her i'd be as concise as possible wdym in 20 chapters u have been in his car almost FOUR TIMESSS!!!!!!!!???! just say NO!!! this is why dudes think "yes" means "no" bro i love her but oh my god is she a pushover rn.
i'm genuinely so confused. people are saying "dummy chapters say where to read" but i looked on b@to and there's only up to chapter 30????? and there are still some dummy chapters anyway?? what the fuh yall talking abt lmfao? just talking out of ur ass reiterating what other ppl r saying...
whyyyy do they keep fuckin and making out IN FRONT of ppl like not even pda mwah hug n kiss. bro is literally riding him while someone else is in the room PLEAAASEEE STOPPP
tbh, this is one of the more interesting stories i've read. it's conflicting.. like you know guwon has a fucked up sense of humanity but you're not sure if he just doesn't have that at all or if he needs to learn it? like how a child needs to get taught right from wrong.
it also intrigues me that we know nearly nothing about guwon at all. why doesn't he have any memories? what was his life before this? why does he do the things he does? who put these ideas in his head to uphold these "rules"? like yeah he's hot and sexy but damn if it were me i'd run away n just kill myself somewhere else
don't get me wrong, the plot is good and the way the author goes about our fl's character is very interesting but i'm literally lost 50% of the time i'm reading this manhwa.
many times it's due to mistranslation but it's also the pacing of the story like in ch 38 where cassio and emilia are talking they were all good and happy n all of a sudden she hates him and thinks he's a terrible person?? like what??? he didn't even say anything that made sense tho??
all the men in this story have no substance too btw.
tldr -- 8.99/10 good story, good art, but BE WARNED it is a bit on the slower side in terms of progression. highly recommend to marinate this manhwa!!
mc is a mary sue and is incredibly OP but it is not explained why due to this story being a slowburn (?). despite catching up to 69 chapters, there is still untapped territory such as her past, before the dragon expedition. i also wish they expanded more on the life elkinas lead in the 80 years our mc was gone.
they almost seem to forget their child in the middle of the story and it seems less about the three of them and more about demons lol. it's almost like they put the kid in every other 10 chapters bc they remember he exists. they sprinkle around that "family" plotline throughout the story as well.
her "act first, think later" mentality can get old very quick. it's pretty refreshing to see elkinas' character, a man who has lived a century but looks and feels young around his lover. his patience also compliments aryn's straightforwardness as well.
the art style so goooddd the plot is also captivatingg but goddamn i hate how chaser is her "brother" like eughhh... if they were gonna make him her adoptive brother why the weird romantic tension?!! why couldnt he be traumatized in a "ill protect u bc i lost everything" kinda way why is he a "ill protect u bc ur mine" wayyyy!!! i'm also afraid of what happened pre-transmigrated/pre-prison to make her hate him so bad that she made a vow to never talk to him again. also in her room?? like she had to move rooms and chaser saying "it will never happen again" bro wtf happened. they did a whole 3 yr time skip not mentioning it too brahhh
i also feel bad for renag he seems like such a good guy :,(
such a beautiful story and art :,) the ending was great, no excessive holes in the story, just plain yearning and pining ugghhhhh..!!!!!! love to see it so much!!!! a great breath of fresh air from other manhwas lol
am i tweaking like why does she have control over the land... like it can't be bc the land "knew" she bought it? how tf does it know when do what she says also i'm confused on the relationship between the black haired dude and mc, it feels so rushed that it looks forced. we know basically nothing about either of them yet theyre doing things most manhwas would take 50 chapters to get to lol!
www i didn't know so many ppl hated the capitalism arc. i lowkey love it bro, i love an independent mc who can usurp standing in an unfamiliar world where she was at all odds with everything and everyone.
also, if the author is smart, this is the perfect setup for a "once you hit the top all there is to go is down" arc. there ARE many things that have not been addressed yet (like basically the entire plot with red hair guy, mia, and even the guildmaster ;-;) but i feel like this story will be a good slowburn! they have already shown the weird cult group mia is unintentionally part of, so i definitely think the next season or 2 will involve overcoming them.
maybe it's because so many manhwas are 100-150 chapters by the time theyre finished, people are getting uncomfortable about a real slowburn manhwa. it's not a bad thing, but i just love some freshness like this story where i can see a lot of potential rising. it's a very hit-or-miss method though, since as everyone can agree in the comments that "the plot is lost" ... just waittt i have faith in the author!!
i do agree with what everyone saying that the princess's chapters seem unnecessary but idk maybe this is the author's way of introducing the emperor's position in the upcoming arc
*hand over mouth crying* this shit is so ass off the top of my head, i don’t even know what’s going on because it’s like we’re just plopped into the story. the world building is straight bunz, who even are those two maids mc brought in?? wouldve been nice to SEE their loyalty and not just be told in one text bubble she likes them lol. we know nothing abt the family, the duke, shiiiit i probably know more about catherine (whose personality can be summed up in 2 sentences) than the mc who i only know for being a saintess mage from a rich family i know there are less than 20 chapters out rn but i’ve definitely read way better manhwas where they actually set up a stage for revenge to happen in like 10 chapters. mc thinks she’s aurafarming when in reality it just feels like every panel is filler
mfs just be putting low stars on anything like an older white woman on amazon. “didn’t look good on me, 2/5 stars” “idk how it looks i havent opened it yet, 3/5 stars” ass
