Maha's manga / #fantasy(751)

Such an amazing read! Truly one of my favorites, and always eagerly awaiting more updates. The MC is a strong woman, who uses her intelligence and connections to build a name for herself after being left to the dust by her own family. Accompanied by her most loyal servants, she overcomes many different obstacles and searches for her own happiness. The romance in this story feels more like an added bonus to the story, not distracting from her strong character at all, and all I approve of the ML's character and how he treats her as a person.

This was okay, but that's just it. It was okay and only okay. This story had some potential but seemed to fall short in many ways at the same time. I found myself quickly losing interest as I continued to read on. It was off-putting for me to see the female lead try to force modern fixtures and ways of life while in the alternate world while not caring for any consequences that could arise from suddenly introducing so many new technologies and ideologies into a foreign world. Then came the point of her being able to pull all of it off on top of not even trying to learn and adapt to her new environment at all. There are a few good points to this piece, however. The art itself is pleasing on the eyes, there were minimal translation/grammatical errors, and even if the story was lackluster in some aspects it was passable in terms of plot and development.

This just left me with a lot of questions? And I also really don’t like it when stories play in adopted relationships like this. When someone is adopted you become family. That’s it. As someone who is adopted I find it very uncomfortable that the main characters are supposed to be siblings but somehow develops romantic feelings for one another. Adoption doesn’t change that sibling dynamic, they are still brother and sister. The story also just kinda throws everything at the reader. I find the story to be kinda jumpy(?) and not passed very well. An overall very mediocre story.

It’s okay, I have a hard time following her logic. It seemed more sound when I was younger and didn’t really understand much but the older I get when I come back to read this it makes her reasonings kinda... bland(?) or maybe not as thought out as I’d like for a story that’s based on her attempts to try fate. It seemed deep and powerful but maybe it’s because I myself have grown as a person though hardships and trauma that I find her reasonings a little shallow(?)
