I’ve been interested in this series for a few years now, since it first started being released, and had a positive impression of it from the get-go due to it being somewhat unique.
There were always undertones of a feminist message, and an attempt to convey something, however, to put it bluntly, it felt a bit shallow, or half-hearted.
There are many series which make you think it’s going to share with its readers a brilliant feminist story and message, only to end to end up disappointing us. A great example of this is ‘They Say I Became a King’s Daughter’.
That being said, some series do go on to have that special something. I think ‘Kill the Villainess’ is one of those which successfully sends a message, and most importantly, makes us feel something.
‘I Raised Cinderella Preciously’ does the same thing, albeit in a different way. The writing quality has always been consistently good, but the quality of the underlying feminist themes were lacking, but slowly improving over time.
By chapter 119, I can now confidently say that it has truly earned its place amongst the other top tier series. It is beautifully insightful into the minds of women, whilst not straying from its romance fantasy genre, and still being entertaining enough for the modern, everyday casual reader. I find what is most important for stories like this is that it doesn’t shove a feminist agenda down your throat, but is instead woven in very subtly into the story and the characters, which takes time, skill and finesse. Readers must first be invested and connected with the story and characters before they can ever start to comprehend any deeper, more complex sentiments about a character’s life after all. I have to give props to the writer, as it really does take thorough planning, patience and dedication. I felt the need to go pick up and read The Handmaid’s Tale after this, if that says anything haha.
I’m excited to see where it goes from here, and I hope the quality doesn’t drop.
Finally, thank you to the uploader for picking this story up again and sharing it with us.
