In the novel the boy is Heinrey both in the hair and eye colour but here he has Navier's blond and Heinrey's eyes
And the girl in the novel had Navier's blond and eyes but here she has Heinrey's blond
The difference might be seen as minimal for some but I love it because the boy has something from Navier now.
In the novel because the girl had 100% Navier features she was favoured by Heinrey and Sovieshu (and Sovieshu named her his heir) and Heinrey favoured her because she was 100% Navier but has his personnality (and the boy is gentle like Navier)
This made the princess a spoiled brat that I absolutely hated. She wanted BOTH the eastern and the western empire (she wanted everything and give her brother nothing even though if she is empress of the eastern empire then he should be emperor of the western empire??) and she said that she was ready to fight her twin brother for the controle of both empires (mind you they were KIDS) and the brother just stood there quietly and pitifully bc he felt like his father agreed with his sister. He knew ppl liked the girl more because she looked like Navier and he was sad to be the less loved twin (so Navier paid close attention to him because his father didn’t. She was a good mom)
It made me hate the girl because she was a hot head stubborn selfish bratty spoiled girl who only cared about what SHE wanted and didn’t love her brother as much as he loved her (her personality was wild like Heinrey's so the brother’s personnality was shadowed/silenced by hers because he is like Navier)
HERE they exchanged the hair colours and Navier said 'the princess won't bully her brother, will she?' And I read the whole novel (adult me doesn’t understand why I went through that shit but I did.) And for me this is a sign that the artist might change that dumbass dynamic of loved twin/ignored twin
If she doesn’t then fuck it.
Also lets talk about how south korea is a sexist country that favours the birth of sons and yet in manhwas the favourite child is always the daughter and the most famous fantasy manhwas always have a daughter beloved vs. sons ignored by their father?
It might be because korean women fantasize about being more loved than their brothers but its a shitty thing to do.

Dropping after the spoilers. I hope the artist will change the novel bc wtf. Why do ppl ruin their own work I will never understand

Same, I dropped this too. Thought there was potential but after that kind of hardship they go through, idk if I could see a positive ending. Just seem like it will be endless chapters of heartbreak and I'm not here for that lol my heart can't handle it. Might dip back here after a few months just to see if the story ends up changing but I doubt it.

You are in for a ride. Anyway, spoilers from @Affectionate-Guess25 in reddit
So there's a huge backstory relating to MLs mother that we piece together bit by bit through many chapters, and it's the main reason why he's doing everything
ML believes that FL has turned his mother over to his family for the reward money years ago (FL was sheltering her when she ran away), then his brother has locked his mother in a room under ML's childhood room and starved her to death, without ML's knowledge. When ML found out how his mother died, that's when he turned into a mindless killer.
The ML knew FL from long ago from a distance, he was attracted to her spirit and how she secretly listened to him playing the cello, and it was actually the ML, who told his mother to go hide at Lee-Yeon's house, so when his brother told ML that it was Lee-Yeon who turned the mother in, he went beserk
The moment he regained his memories (after 100 chapters of romantic bliss), the first thing he remembered is that the reason why he came to the island in the first place was to kill FL
That's when we readers get the first heart attack.
after this, ML decides to continue playing along FL's lies for a week, but his cruelty seeps through, he demeans and insults FL all the way through, while in some moments he's being sweet to FL so it takes her a while to catch on that he's regained his memories.
But the process is about 60 chapters of back-to-the-beginning FL being terrified half the time cause she's not sure.
--
day of the 4th round of competition, FL decides to set up an orchestra in the forest for her round, he comes in a suit, destroys a cello to shreds and with his murderous self back he cruelly insults the FL multiple times while strangling her, he tells her why he hates her (mother story) while FL is still trying to hold onto him.
It's a very brutal scene emotionally cause he says things to hurt FL to her core and he succeeds in it while smiling
FL was trying to explain the truth, that it was his mother who wanted FL to call his family, cause she wanted to see her son one more time, but by that time all the lies she made up about their marriage made it impossible for ML to even listen to her. Also, FL though the money she got after after that was the mother saying thank you for helping her. She never thought it was a reward for a fugitive, and she used it to treat his uncle's cancer
After this she slumps into a deep depression, then she pulls herself together when she finds out that she's pregnant
although I'm not sure how long is that going to last now that they're back under the same roof thanks to that sycophantic b*stard of a brother

Ik novel ppl said there was no romance but the 'blushing' that they add on every girl interacting with mc is really pissing me off especially Yua or whatever she looks like a KID

There won't be any romance Yua will become more or less a little sis, Yunaan and others girls will maybe love him ( even if fir me it's just strong admiration), there only one I'm sure will be in love wirh him ( and again it'll be a little tendancious) and im rooting for the last one cause she really make me laught and she totally kniw it's one sided

I just read chapter 107 through a link and what Hestia needs is a psychologist.
The facts here is that Kael doesn’t want to meddle in the imperial family's trouble like for him Diana can be dethroned he just doesn’t care about making it *his* move man wants his peace of mind with his wife.
Hestia doesn’t listen to a word he says and only interpretes it as however she wants. When Kael says 'I dont care about Diana I love you but as a noble from the royal party dethroning this crown prince's CONSORT is not my job' SHE HEARS 'I am a character in a novel controlled by the author who will never harm Diana I will always choose her and NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO you can never change anything the author wrote'
She will litterally shout at Kael and tell him she never wants to see him again and I was like OUCH because manhwa Cael did not deserve that anger (novel cael seems to be lowk a bitch but manhwa cael does no wrong in my book)
She will say 'do you know how hard I fought for you' and Im like for him? Or did you just use Cael's name to excuse your personnal hatred? If she was honest and said I hate Diana because of what I consider the harm she caused ME id get it but she always talks about it in the name of Cael so when Cael finally tells her how he truly feels she lost it because he doesn’t hate them and Hestia is just a girl who is blocked, TRAPPED in a novel with only ONE man she cared about which made her fall into agony after he killed himself in front of her (btw she should tell Cael the truth about his death)
As shown Cael is her lifeline. If she isn’t near him she doesn’t eat she doesn’t smile she doesn’t live she is a 'character' waiting for the 'main' character to come back.
Instead of ruining Diana's life she should let the people and nobles take care of that and see a goddamn psychologist because seriously what she needs isn’t revenge its answers and healing
Finally a dumbass enemy treated as a 2nd ML by the manhwa dies usually they give the dumbass excuse of 'iTs mOrE PaiNfuL To LiVe' to not kill the guy
