i dropped this manhwa awhile ago when there were less than a hundred chapters bc of how cliche it was getting. back then, the story never felt natural bc the fl was too naive/innocent while her family was too overprotective. there was no drama at all, no hardships, and it was just too boring. every chapter, it’s just the same old “let’s worship and take care of estelle castiello” lmao it was too repetitive and the character seemed to be a mary sue.
however, i decided to pick this up now and started reading it again from where i rmmbr i left off, and i’m starting to like it. estelle is finally starting to become a bad bitch !!!!!! that scene where she humiliates the princess in front of everyone and how she’s starting to learn of the viciousness that life has to offer her, it’s starting to become entertaining. when her family had to go to war before to fight a dragon and how she was tasked to manage their estate.... all of it just goes to show that she’s not a damsel in distress anymore. she can save people such as her using her power to save roy but she can also kill people to save her loved ones. back then, it felt like she couldn’t do anything without her family’s help or permission. but now, she’s handling herself well alone even without anyone’s help by her side. she knows how to use people and how to get them on her side. i’m liking this new estelle more !!!!

did yeonwoo’s fears while being locked in that dark room breed those monsters in the house?

well, one of Yeonwoo's fears was losing Taejun so maybe that's why he gets the ability to see them, or both Yeonwoo's and Taejun's fear created the darkness, and then once it killed his parents it gained hands to kill others and just kept adding to its power. It obviously gets happy when Yeonwoo and Taejun do bad things so it's definitely something evil (≧∀≦)
can't wait until more stuff is explained in detail ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

man this would be trippy af if it was taejun who summoned that thing in the house instead of yeonwoo in an effort to protect yeonwoo from his parents lol i’m saying this bc even in chapter 1, it’s only taejun whose reflection in the mirror smiles back at him even until recent chapters.
and same i just want taejun to remember more of his memories that he’s been suppressing so we can finally have all the pieces to the puzzle ahhhh i cant wait

Yes! That could totally be the reason cause we just saw Taejun remember seeing Yeonwoo being dragged away by his parents into the room and maybe that's also why Yeonwoo is so mad at Taejun for blocking it out plus Yeonwoo seemed like a timid child. I feel like we're only seeing more of Taejun reflections to kinda throw us off plus maybe his fear/memories are making the reflection appear more and since Yeonwoo has already accepted it...it doesn't use him as much OR since Yeonwoo's fear was darkness maybe reflections have something to do with Taejun....so it kinda goes back to their fears created something (⊙…⊙ )

i’m reading chapter 1 and the english translations are kinda... bad and it’s affecting the way i’m processing and understanding the story. it reminds me of s2manga in a way lmao is it still worth continuing this even if the translations are iffy?

Yeah, some have been trying to tell the translator that their translations are going to scare people away and I think they dropped this now, so you can probably come back to this when this gets official English translations. It's reaching a really good point rn, so I say to maybe put this in a One-Day-I'll-Read-This list?

I'm sorry if you don't understand any of the chapter but isn't it good because you're just reading it free, and there is some tl team that gonna continue translating this, and the name of there tl team is the freaking" and I don't know if there translation is good cuz I don't want to know and thats the tl team I'm talking about who translate this in other site so yea I'm done.

this could’ve been a yuri but the author decided to make the mc straight for some reason

Well yeah. But I am a bit unconfortable with yuri so maybe thats why I would not have liked the story that much if that was true, or even dropped it. I have no problem with bisexuals or lesbians or gay people and I read yaoi and shounen ai, but yuri is somehow unconfortable to read about for me. So I avoid them.
┗( T﹏T )┛

Dunno. I do not hate it, but somehow its makes me uneasy. Maybe cos I do not want to realise that I may be into girls as well.Or its just hard for me to understand lesbians a bit. But I am not sure, so I just avoid the theme altogether. Lol, I am such a coward.
╥﹏╥( ̄∇ ̄")
I mean I love handsome boys, and even had a boyfriend, but I feel like it is not that out of question if a girl asked me out that I would aggree. And there are women I find pretty or sexy in not the usual way I did as when I was younger. Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
but its maybe cos my boyfriend was not the best experience that I started to think about being bi. I am a bit confused about myself right now. ╥﹏╥
Sadly my parents only accept any not straight people as long as they are not within our family. And if I tried to speak with them I would just get told that its cearten that its just cos of the bad experience and that its just psychological and I should just find another boyfriend and its gonna be over.( ̄∇ ̄")
Sorry I sould not have written this here.#-.-)

ohhh thanks for explaining! i was really confused bc u said u were okay w lesbians and then the next u were saying u didn’t find it comfortable to read yuri stories. it just didn’t make any sense to me.
but, damn, hope you’ll learn to understand yourself better soon. stay strong thru this identity crisis (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ i’m sure as you gradually go thru life and experience more, you’ll be able to tell what your sexuality really is and you won’t have to avoid such topics.

Oh no don’t be sorry. I am glad you opened up. You see I am kind of in the same situation as you, but my family are homophobic and they would not like it if I said that I was bi. I was quite confused at first and thought that this feeling I had was just a fling or it would go over. I thought that cause I was afraid of what they might have done, so maybe you are kind of denying that part of yourself because you’re afraid to be treated differently or being different? Idk. It really is not my place to talk about.
Well I am glad you opened up cause I thought you hated yuri or something like that, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
I really don’t know where I am going with this tbh ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

yess :( i feel sad for the dragon boi as well. but tbh the tragedy is what makes this manga even better– because to me, it feels like all the characters are real and have their own thoughts & feelings. and the fact that rebecca doesn't force her feelings on sasha makes me like her even more (if thats possible..)

that’s true. whether they end up together or not, the only thing rebecca really wants is for sasha to be happy. actually, saying that made me even more sad lol bc given the time period of this manhwa, they’re already destined to not be together from the start since same sex relationships are probably frowned upon during that time aaahh... why is the author doing this

but in "i choose the emperor ending" while the mc was crossdressing as a boi, everyone was pretty accepting of the "sodomy" though ╥﹏╥ or was that just because the mc was actually a girl? sjjskss
im currently making up an au in my head where sasha & rebecca meet again in their next lives and fall in love :D

ooohh i see i forgot abt that... i was just going along w the narrative of nobles during that time placing more importance on producing heirs to further their lineage more than anything which is why man-woman were the standard and what is considered acceptable by society in the story. so maybe i thought it was the same for this manhwa... but idk too the author needs to explain more on this lol.
and ksjskks maybe in another life (/TДT)/ we can see our ship sail and be happy together and maybe adopt some kids too.

his trauma is still there.... istg i hate his parents so much for raising him like this. and the chapter couldn’t have said it any better. it’s not bad to be selfish bc of a person you love. if anything, it only means fei yue is starting to show some character devt and i am here for it. i hope yan an gives him more love in the future and continues to reassure him
i kinda feel bad for rapelle.... the fl is being unnecessarily mean to him all the time even tho he’s just joking around. also the ml is right. he should be free to choose what he wants to do in the future, but the fl is sheltering him too much and won’t allow him to do anything. i had high hopes for this from the start bc the plot was interesting but the fl is getting kinda annoying
