"author of my own destiny"

my love for smiley passive aggressive female leads knowns no bounds

all-time fave! everything about this is so lovely. it encapsulates the trope I would always eat up: regret. no flat character, no one is ever too good (except shuri), and the flaws are well-executed. the artist(s) dare I say is the best of all time, utilizing a foreshadowing line of a character chapters ago and bringing it to life with so much care is honestly breathtaking. so many manwhas don't usually pursue that level of depth. 10/10

richelieu and shuri's tension though

liked this because she didn't take the dad's bullshit. will pick up again
