apopoi's manga / #historical(148)

There is only one chapter on this website but officially on Webtoon there are 41 chapters currently and I have read upto 40. My thoughts on it? Beautiful art style, interesting lore, unhinged characters etc.. I feel that some aspects that makes this story original are left underutilized and we keep going around in circles, leaving so many plot points behind in order to pursue what's popping at the moment. I was hooked from the first chapter feeling that I have found another treasure only to feel disappointment at how the author treats their work. Things didn't go the way I expected, the parts I found refreshing and intriguing were left to rot only to give importance to some mundane things. After the nine tailed fox was introduced, it split a lot of fans and before solidifying itself, so many of its audience left cause they felt disgusted or betrayed. Leaving the borderline incest stuff as it is, the story isn't progressing.. Right now forty chapters in I expected to get some answers but the story is halted for some beauty shots and some splash of comedy with a pinch of action scenes that are there just for the sake of it (or perhaps to showcase the cool side of the characters so that we could gush over the MC). The MC is complex, she is very unhinged, she doesn't have a moral compass and she is very vengeful holding a 1000 worth of grudge destroying herself over it. She isn't just a celestial mage, she is the one in charge of the birth, death and rebirth of the humans so without her the human realm is in jeopardy. Cool so there are stakes to this.. And? I feel like stuff are said but we don't see the effect of it, where are the consequences?! The fact that the ML isn't the Woodcutter is a nice misdirect, I'll give it that. I want to see the ML backstory.. We want to know more. It's fine and dandy that things aren't vomited out and we have to think for ourselves and come to our own conclusions but the author has been dangling this in front of us and forty chapters in? I'm not even interested anymore, it would be fine if the characters were engaging enough and the cast has more meat to them but it feels draining. I keep checking how many chapters there are left and although the art style is pretty, that's not enough.

This has gone on for far too long.. I wasn't really crazy about it from the start but atleast I wasn't rolling my eyes the whole time. This could have been wrapped up in fifty chapters or less and it isn't even done although it spans for 110 chapters. There will be a season 4. I find everything ridiculous. The ML isn't a nice man which I don't mind because I've read worse but the fact that he is portrayed to be one in this story irks me. He killed a princess, killed innocents, turned a blind eye to his subordinates indecent behavior all this time but now he suddenly cares. When he thought to himself that he should've killed Leo, that made me once again roll my eyes, he only cares because it's Chloe. And why the fuck is this manhwa called 'Beatrice' when she identifies as Chloe and that's her og name. Now the problem I have with Chloe is her innocence, her kindness, her purity, her willingness to forgive anyone and everyone regardless of what they did to her. First of all, the way she acts.. It's like the author wanted to remind us she is a girl everytime she is on screen so we don't forget.. With the S line, her screaming 'Kyaaaa' whenever she's surprised, her aegyo...even though she is mistaken time and time again as a boy (her haircut and attire plays a part) but it was made worthy of note she doesn't care how others see her..basically like a tomboy. Her telling herself that Allen is a kind man.. Bitch u witnessed him kill the princess, threatened to kill you, the reason you're a slave and heard from the little girl that you serve that he hits women but because you saw him do the bare minimum he is a 'kind man'?!! The ML blames himself for Chloe's current situation as he should but then this pussy is like I'm satisfied with my life blah blah blah..then her heart pounds badum badum out of nowhere.. Probably because of his handsome face and incredible body (eyeroll). Then he becomes Shakespearean.. Talking on and on about how he doesn't want to love in a world without her and whenever she refuses, he gives these puppy eyes and basically love bombs her. This dude love bombed her so hard. This bitch has never been shown affection her whole life and the most 'wonderful' man loves her.. That alone is one thing but hey he is willing to abandon his whole life for you.. Surely you must love him back right!? And the thing I hate the most is that Chloe never acts out of her own agency.. She is being pulled by his current, she gives into him all the time..Also the motherfucking Duke is redeemed!! Whoa how did that happen? Did this dick repent? Uh no! He felt sorry but he still didn't tell Allen about his sister and mother. Knowing his son's wishes to not marry, he pushes it onto him regardless.. Making him go out in the battlefield at a young age.. Oh what else? He had to take time to think about if he should take in Chloe and an adopted child in the family registry. The only way he agreed was not because he became a better man Oh no! It was because she is technically royalty and since she is the only remaining royalty.. She is worthy of being a princess.. Yay.. Also the sister forgives him? What! Of course she did!! After hearing the saintly Chloe talk about forgiving her ex husband.. She forgives the father who abandoned her.. The very one who didn't want her cuz she was a girl and only cared for her brother. Another fun fact is she didn't even cross his mind once! He felt guilty but not enough to do anything about it and don't remind me of that half-assed apology with tears streaming down his face. Now back to Chloe... This bitch read the diary, so she knows what he did but says 'it's been twenty years, that's plenty of time for a person to change'.. Yes girly forgive him. It's not even her place to forgive that man.. Ugh also her holding Allen back from killing Leo? Even after that sexual harassment.. What a saint. The only good thing is the Sadist × masochist ship that sailed.

I like it. I like the subject it deals with. PTSD from war. I like the MC, she is akin to a pacifier and she seems to have a good head on her shoulder though she can be dense. She knows something is amiss but chooses to ignore it since she can't do anything about it. The deal with Halt, the Emperor's lover having a strong divine power, the deal with the eighth batallion and the spells used for their 'training' etc. I like that the ML hasn't completely lost it. I feel like we can delve into the whole PTSD thing a lot deeper but I digress. I just knew there was something fishy about that man and viola there he is with that second prince talking about some sketchy thing. I hope we can get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. Also CH 26&27 are the same.. Please fix it.

Another transmigration into a novel story. This time too possessing a villainess body. She is for sure misunderstood, she clearly loves the Emperor and with their history together, there has to be more to the story. The deal with his mother I'm not sure but maybe it has something to do with the Emoress Dowager. It was nice to see that the Duchess was the real power all along but even that can be questioned. The art style is nice, the plot is sub par. I hate this thing they keep doing with the Emperor and Ethan literally butting heads over the MC, the sudden switch of Ethan though understandable to some extent is too overplayed. He is still the Emperor after all. Also another complaint I have for this genre is regarding the accuracy of the novel that they read before they came into this world, like why does it miss out so many important information. I'd get it if it were minor but this is some pretty big stuff. Moreover thr fact that in the novel she was executed by the Emperor because she begged him to reconsider spending money on building a greenhouse for the og FL since they were on a tight budget makes no sense. I hope they give a satisfying reason for that.

I would rate this a 2.5 if I could. I know that the MC is a demon but I had a shocked Pikachu face when he acted like one. I wish he didn't kill Campbell, I was very fond of him. I keep forgetting the body he possess is a girl as well. The translation can be better but it's still understandable. Edwin is such an annoying brat and he's only the son of a Baron. The pedophile fat Priest made me uncomfortable everytime he was on screen and the fact that even while knowing his true nature, he still gets protected.. Ugh ew.. The corruption in the Church. I know it's a real thing as well especially towards boys so it was too real for me. Wait.. Does that mean the MC killed all the commoners, the Baron, the knight, Edwin, the Baroness, Campbell and all the servants and maids? Wow talk about being ruthless.. The maids looked out for him so much too. That's actually so unfortunate. Currently at Ch20.

This is saurr good. I love how the MC can stay so strong in such an impossibly hard situation. One thing I'll commend this on is the realistic way that the princess is strong, it's not in the realm of absurdity but in the way her situation allows her to. She practices the things she hears people say when she's sure everyone is asleep.. She can't speak clearly and has trouble constructing sentences. She doesn't have any manners since she wasn't taught, her hands shake when trying to use cutlaries to eat her food since she uses her bare hands. She tiptoes around everyone. She doesn't have common sense and doesn't get embarrassed when she's naked or talking about consummating their marriage. The tyrant is also an interesting case, it seems the incident a few or so years ago made him the way he is. Of course the incident is shrouded in mystery and only the king and the princess and that one guy knows about it. The ML is a green forest. I love how he doesn't take out his anger on the princess and how responsible he is, how patient he is and the way he is so gentle towards her. He also told his mother right away when he found out about his father cheating on her. About the couple, the father is a brute who has no political sense and neglects his duties so the ML has to shoulder everything himself. Not to mention how he cheats on his wife and made his knight(?) take in his mistress as his second wife so he can meet her regularly. Their marriage had always been purely business but after the ML's younger sister died, they became estranged. About the younger sister Rosie, it seems she's the reason why the Mother is so taken with the princess. She's seeing Rosie in the princess since they have the same coloured eyes and since Rosie died as a child, the princess' behavior mirrors that so she feels protective over her. I hate the two maids to the core, can't they die already?

This is nice. It lacks depth but reading this for a quick fix certainly makes it a desirable read. I like the MC.. It goes by a bit too fast, the emotional beats of the story, the plot, the turning into a slim and beautiful lady etc etc. I like that the character has a blunt personality so there is no miscommunication and she thinks with her head. I would like to know more about her life as Juliet and the adversities she faced as the top A list star of a country and possibly the world. Her eldest brother just by his description annoys me already. Because of him, because of his enabling of the evil step grandma's abuse.. The MC had to suffer in silent for so long. I hope that this doesn't get swept under the rug and is properly addressed. The thing with the crown prince is cool.. I guess? Also I like that they still haven't met even though this is chap 21. I would have lost interest if the story kept panning to him from the get go. He isn't the main star, our MC is and it should remain that way. The thing with her dad.. He was probably poisoned. I like this new trend of taking a dig at absent and toxic fathers who only care for their wife and forget about their children. Also how does the grandma know about Wishlet. There are some mysteries here and there that I want to get to the bottom of. The aunt and uncle.. I won't even waste my breath on them. Just pea sized villains.

This is so stinking cute!! OMG I loveeeee it! I like Eunri, I like the ML.. I just know her sweet life is gonna be turned upside down since she has that scar on her pretty face. What happened to her family? And why is she his second wife? I'm sure he only loves her but still.. Palace customs can kiss my ass.. I love the ML being so silent, caring and I live for his long hair. I love that she refers to him as 'brother with pretty eyelashes' and how she says 'you'll forget about me soon because of ladies with pretty eyelashes.. ' so cute! The scene where she slapped the merchant back after he slapped the ML? Chef's kiss

I hate the art style. I hate the MC immature ass, the plot is not plotting. The artist doesn't know how to draw a child at all. Because what is this disgusting shit!? The Royal family, the Halyas etc everything bores me.. I wanna see a flashback of the Duke and the MC's parents.. That would be cool. Especially because of the story that the Nanny told to the MC. The one shot for this was spectacular but of course we get this dogshit instead. Life is hard. The story isn't decent either so it's not too much of a shame but nevertheless. I can't believe my sister recommended this to me of all things. At Ch20.

I like the ML. I thought I would take the FL's side but that wasn't the case. Deciding things for her daughter and her bitch of a mother telling her to repay the doctor is deplorable. I hate her mom so much, bitch stay dead why you telling your daughter to be grateful and repay the doctor.. You're the reason she's in this dilemma in the first place, how ungrateful. Also I hate how demure she is but the manhwa is tryna fool us into thinking she's a resolute woman who can manage herself. Ugh.. How I hate when she says she can manage herself. Bitch you can't and how dumb do you have to be to go to the book keeper even after everything. The second male lead is genuinely so kind so I don't think I'll continue this again. I'll just end up feeling bad for him, tbh I feel bad for him even now. I wish she did this out of her feelings for him but she's still in love with ML but doing this just because she is indebted to him. Reminds me of the setting for 'Selfish Love'.. Currently at Ch20.
