Wish the royal family wasn't portrayed this stupid... Yeah, real life royalty wasn't very smart either, but it's fiction, and fiction appreciates more charismatic villains.
To add more, the view from the other side is not really persuasive. They are not characters but a plot carbon card devices.
Good enough for rofan I guess?
"The more toxic, the better" - writer, you are so real for this.
Pretty good, but I don't really like how rape scenes are handled. I think the direction doesn't fit the overall tone of the manhwa.
Pretty engaging, glad that I've clicked on the cover!
The art and composition in season one was what made me drawn to the story and, most importantly, the heroine. Of course, it never offered the best imagery you could imagine, especially the dynamic scenes like fighting (which weren't really the focus of the story, so it's alright), but you could see how the heroine was frail, sick, ethereal even. The portrayed emotions were more genuine and sincere.
Now, the new art is not the worst, but it's too... trite. Would be quite a good match for your run-of-the-mill reincarnation into the "villainess" webtoon. The raised saturation surely was a choice though. Furthermore, the proportions are distinctly off, and the eyes, although very bright with high contrast and blacks, ironically lack the soul. Still, they look quite doll-ish, I will give them that
Regardless, it's good that the adaptation gets the continuation.
The cover is way too intense and misleading, which is sad - I really looked forward to, as someone said in the comments, a thriller.
It's still an okay somewhat fluff story though.
It's really not way too intense or misleading at all from my point of view. He's smiling while enduring pain and suffering (physical and not just emotional), which is one of the key points of the story. He has to overcome misfortunes to keep other people safe if not actually alive, even if it means getting hurt in the process (like shielding the female character from the falling flower pot).
Cute art, but it's so boring... Quite unfortunate.
I don't think it's boring if you find the story interesting.
