Mael's manga / #Magic(41)

Would not read again, as much as I love it. Maybe the last few chapters and the side stories? But it doesn't have readability for multiple times.

My review of this can be like 50 pages long. At first I felt iffy about Larmanilla. But then I realized it's just his flaws. And EVERYBODY has flaws. Him, you reading this and me. Even Romiard has his flaws. It's interesting cause Larmanilla can be cruel but Romiard can be 10 times more cruel. You could say Larmanilla is "evil' but by default. But Romiard? He will show you kindness and make your dreams come true the then destroy you. I think that would feel worse (as the recipient of his wrath). I also found it interesting how Romiard was not afraid to kill! He killed the fire magician, he killed that thief that come for the fruit and they were going to exchange items (the claw for the golden apple) but in the end he knew the other was going to die. He gave them false hope. I really enjoyed this story. Also at first I was like "DID THEY SLEEP WITH EACH OTHER OR JUST SLEEP?" cause when they started sleeping in the same bed after he killed the fire magician he once woke up without his pajamas after saying something like "he didn't just give me his powers but something else too" and I was like "SEX?!? IN THIS WHOLESOME (so far) STORY?". I guess that helped that in the future episodes I wasn't surprised by them being more active with the PDA. I actually enjoyed it how they found each other basically irresistible and couldn't keep their hands off each other. I enjoyed the character development from both. Romiard grew wise, critical and confident. Larmanilla grew more compassionate, kind and affectionate. Remember he didn't have many emotions aside from anger or boredom? Not even BEFORE he became the ice magician. People say he didn't have character development but I belief he did. He has a heart again. Hell he can even feel jealousy in a healthy way. And can feel protective of Romiard. And not in a "this is my property" type of protectiveness. It's an "this is the love of my life and I will do anything in my power to keep them safe" type of protectiveness. Overall I highly recommend this beautiful story. The art style was also very unique and although the anatomy was a bit questionable sometimes it can be overlooked because how much of an enjoyable read it was. If I had to choose only one short sentence to describe it.. it's like being a kid again reading a fairytale.

It was okay! Do not be swayed by the comments there isn't rape in the story the plot was weird cause a sex toy connected to an actual human but the user DOESN'T know? Like that is not rape idk how people can't get it through their skulls. That's like saying if you bump against someone and on accident without knowing fall or grab onto someone's chest is sa like no?? It happened without your knowledge and with you NOT wanting to do that. I liked the religious aspect about it especially the guilt it was relatable. The MCs got annoying ASF in the later half of the story. And I felt bad they were in bad situation feeling guilt for everything and anything. Like you didn't ask to fall in love with your best friend it's not a sin sobs it just happened.

It was nice. Extras surprisingly had smut?!

At first I was like "why is he lactating? Why are they not panicking? I'd think it was mastitis or a tumor or an infection" but there was a magic twist so.. 11/10 himbo and Otaku. Definitely a specific kink the author had. Cute too!

The art style wasn't the best and I ended up feeling a bit unsatisfied somehow? But I'm not upset or disappointed at all. It was a nice story and I love a strong FL. I was also very happy that we got a tsundere cute ML. I'm glad the author wrapped up most people's story too although they forgot Lunaen a bit? I'm glad everyone found love or family or a calling. The only person that didn't was Luke it's a bit of a pity he thinks he doesn't deserve love or happiness because the current him didn't do the things he did in his past life but I guess he's repenting for his karmic sin? As he remembers his past life. Kasia already spent all her past life and the current one repenting. I hope in his next life he doesn't remember his past and just lives happy! It was good read although I don't think I'd re-read it I'll say a 8/10.

Okay so first of all. INCREDIBLE STORY. Oh my god? Yes the prince being the ML (I assume) was cliche. Many scenes were. But it was done in an incredibly attention grappling, breathtaking, tense and dark comedic manner. It's like any other transmigration story but it has its own unique twist. It really makes you tense, you think she's going to die at any moment and you feel what she feels. You desperately want her to live too!! I almost cried when the prince was on the bed begging her not to die and holding her hand. Character Review: The Duke : I hated him at first. Absolutely a horrible person. But the more I got to know him... He wasn't directly involved in Penelope's abuse. He was enabling yes he let his sons and the servants treat her worse than a bug. But he didn't directly abuse her and that's relevant TO ME personally at least. He really started repenting properly. To the point our MC started thinking of him as the father figure she and Penelope never had. It was heartbreaking AND heartwarming. That she healed that little bit of trauma even if it was only a tiny bit before she decided to just kill herself after the normal route started. The Maid Emily : She was the first character I opened my heart up to NGL. I forgave her fast. The medieval commoner life had to be one of the worst during humanities development. She got treated terrible by any and all nobility. Even just regular rich people like merchants. She was never treated well even amongst her people the poor and the commoners. No wonder she was fucking bitter about life. Humans by default love to be in power especially after being abused. But she was also being forced to be an extra piece of shit by that head maid that bitch. They set her up to abuse Penelope which as a collateral she got some venting of her pent up feelings and her own abuse. MC didn't trust her until the end of the 4th season. I was skeptical of her at first but she won me I love her. The Butler Penell: I kept reading his name as Penniel lol. He sucked ass but he fixed his attitude first. I still don't forgive him for what he let the brothers do. Eldest Brother Derrick : I can't even begin to recount you the times I screamed at my phone for him to go FUCK HIMSELF. Never liked him. Never did anything to redeem himself. And he's worse than trash now. Worst ML candidate ever. Older Brother Reynold : Oh how I hated this bitch badly at the start. If I had to choose one of the brothers I'd pick him but ugh. He tried to redeem himself a bit I guess? I LOVED when MC gave him a reality check and verbal slap over the face. She read him for filth. Like the privileged rich white straight man he was. That he's never known real struggle real hunger REAL pain. I can't say I hate him anymore I can't say I adore him. He's an okay/like. The Sorcerer Winter : Tbh I don't have any bone to pick with him aside from him deceiving our MC and threatening her life like... Multiple fucking times. And doing weird ass test. She ain't got time for that she's trying to secure HER LIFE. Thankfully it did lead her getting a ton of useful things like finding out the antagonist Ivonne and those weird cult people. He's okay I guess. Their dynamic was interesting it didn't feel romantic at all I guess because MC kept pushing him away and keeping him at a distance since she assumed he would be the one to bring forth the one that would end her life. The Swordmaster Eckles : Oh my sweet dear how I loved you at first. I love the "I can fix him" trope! But it was easy to see that the way MC was approaching and treating him girl... She never showed true affection for him. I thought he was going to be the end game at first. But the chapters went on and I was like "where's her affection for him? When does she fall in love?" IT NEVER CAME BITCH THIS IS NOT A CLICHE STORY. I locked the fuck in. I was more worried about her safety and her life then finding a romance to save her. I was preoccupied on how she was going to save HERSELF. I didn't expect him to be acting he wasn't a swordmaster tho and then he turned and bit the hand that feeds him. That was cool it took me by surprise I thought he was gonna be just an obsessive mad dog. The Crown Prince : .... Help?! I forgot his name!! The MC and everyone addresses him as such so I forgot his actual name lmao. At first... I didn't want him as the ML. I agreed with the MC he was just a death flag anywhere near her I mean their first meeting he almost slit her throat??? What the fuck dude. NOT THE WAY TO A NOBLE LADY'S HEART!! But as time went on.. he went from a black flag to a red flag! A morally grey flag and a red flag mixed in one. Just think of a grey card with red stripes. I get it tbh he's gone through a fucked up childhood like MC and tbh? He had it fucking worse. He was fighting for his life against assassins and giant bears and shit. What the fuck? And he has to be flawless ALWAYS or else there will be problems. I'm not surprised why he's so full of rage all the time. I didn't like his constant threatening to the MC but at the same time it didn't feel serious? Like he wouldn't actually kill her. He said it several times he may be very very angry but he would never just kill a random person much less a NOBLE. (He almost proved me wrong last chapter.. but he held on because of MCs influence on him.) The more I got to know him, even if it's stereotypical, I like him as the ML. He's complex. And he's on our MCs side. I hope he doesn't get brainwashed easily same for Winter I mean c'mon y'all gon let a tiny skinny girl brainwash y'all with a piece of a Malta bottle from the trash do that? Aren't they supposed to be strongest of the empire? Regardless, he's changing. Maybe he'll realize he CAN love and not just resign himself to having a political marriage and a partnership only in his life. That he can provide MC the love she DESERVES if he let's go of fears and the trauma he's held onto instead of processing it. To let himself feel ANYTHING aside from damn rage. Which he has been proving at least in the last chapter of season 4 he is. Antagonist Ivonne : Girl. You cannot be fr rn. This is our antagonist? I was not surprised at all tbh but seriously? I'd rather have a brutal villain/antagonist than those who play games and act innocent it pisses me off. But it's smart very smart! I mean she already got Derrick eating out of the palm of her hand and she's the og FL. She has to have some overpowered item or plot armor. The Villainess Penelope/MC : Oh my Penelope my sweet baby girl my love my dear darling. I love you. I love her character. If I wrote everything I like about her this already long comment will turn into a whole book I cannot afford to do that at 2am right now. The fact she was finally free from those people in her life and was going to live the life of a normal college student, make friends, fall in love, improve her health and then... BAM! Woke up in a game she was playing as a character that was treated as equally bad with the same family dynamic that tormented her in her og life. But this time worse cause she had also the servants and the knights and the entire fucking noble society against her. She did so well and clung on to life. She was so cunning and smart! Seriously. But then again she was still just a girl like hello some things she couldn't predict. She was only 20 years old and in Penelope's body she was what 17? And at the end of season 4 she was just freshly 18. With these grown ass men (aside Eckles) BULLYING her and putting her life at risk in both her lives in the game and outside. Honey I'm so sorry. And she was also an orphan on both lives without her mother and both lived in poverty. Starving. WHY HAS SHE NEVER FUCKING KNOWN PEACE? MY SHEYLLA!!! Ugh .. T-T Continuing on. I'm glad she never expected anyone to save her. She took things into her own hands and never stood idle. She didn't hold onto her pride and did what was important which was successfully confirming her survival. Sadly she failed (for now). She deserves happiness pls. When she started falling in love with the prince I was like "you're joking..." And when she asked for LOVE of be loved wholly without anything being asked of her without any ulterior motives just simply loved and he said he couldn't and it was childish? My heart broke for her. And now that idiot is going crazy cause she's in a coma and says he'll do anything love her worship her destroy the country for her. Should have said that BEFORE, dick head!! I just wish for her happy ending. Where she has everything she's ever wanted. Freedom, family and love. I can't wait for the next season.

Short and sweet! So sad all these stories with an interesting plot and good art style are so short.

VERY fast paced. I disliked that and how they didn't explain things about that world properly to OC. Also big joke in the story, he got kidnapped by the antagonist and he SAW HER FACE but didn't say anything about it? He knew who tried to kill him. They could have arrested her just for the attempt on his life and prevent the ML getting cursed. Lol wtf. It was okay tho.
