Hi. Does anyone here know where I can find the official novel? Thanks in advance.
Is it just me, or has the art changed? Some panels make Edric’s body look weird compared to his head. Honestly, I’m just here for the art—the plot’s been so frustrating. I think I’ll put this on hold and come back when there are more chapters. By the way, does anyone have a link to the novel? Thanks in advance!
I started reading This is the Law after finishing Judge Lee Han Young (which isn’t finished yet). It's a good manhwa, but as I got deeper into the story, something started to feel off. By chapter 30, I realized it was the way women were portrayed.
Their facial expressions are often exaggerated, like they’re always on the verge of tears, which feels unnatural and makes it hard to connect with them. On top of that, the women are often shown as weak, with little agency or importance in the story. It feels like they’re there just to highlight the MC's strengths, making the story feel one-sided.
Don’t get me wrong—the story itself has its strengths, and there are plenty of enjoyable moments. But for me, the lack of depth and balance in the portrayal of women somewhat makes me feel off. It’s a small thing that might not bother everyone, but it became more noticeable as I kept reading.
This had potential—the start and the art were good. But right after she ran away, the pacing suddenly felt rushed, and some of the situations felt forced and ridiculous. For example, at the hunting competition—I mean, it doesn’t make sense—they have guns! Why didn’t they just shoot the boar? It felt like the author ran out of ideas and was in a hurry to finish the story.
If you're wondering whether this story is worth reading, it really depends on what kind of reader you are, and there’s nothing wrong with whatever type of reader you happen to be.(⌒▽⌒)
If you like stories with clear "good vs. bad" characters, this book might not be for you. Mathias, the ML, is a bloody red flag at the start, he’s arrogant, manipulative, and downright unlikable. His actions are hard to justify, and if you’re someone who prefers clear-cut morality, you might not vibe with his morally gray redemption arc.
But if you enjoy messy, flawed, and morally ambiguous characters, this story could work for you. Mathias has a redemption arc that digs into why he’s so toxic and how his past shaped him. It’s not a simple “bad guy turns good” story but more about understanding him as a complex person. If you’re into stories that make you think about human behavior, forgiveness, and redemption, this one might feel rewarding.
Fiction is meant to provoke thought, not just dictate morality. This story challenges the black-and-white view of right and wrong by diving into flawed characters and their motivations. It’s meant to make you think about things like personal growth and the boundaries of forgiveness, not just present easy answers. If that kind of complexity appeals to you, it’s worth reading. But if you prefer stories that stick to clear morality, this one might not be your cup of tea,and that’s okay!
That said, let’s be real: in real life, if you met someone like Mathias, girl, RUN! Don’t even entertain the “I can change him” mindset. People don’t come with guaranteed redemption arcs, and in reality, you wouldn’t have time to analyze behaviors if your safety or well-being is on the line. Fiction allows us to explore these dynamics safely, but it’s not a guide for real-life relationships.
Ultimately, this story’s appeal depends on whether you’re willing to engage with a character who starts off deeply toxic and see where his journey leads. Whatever kind of reader you are, there’s no right or wrong way to approach fiction, just find stories that resonate with you. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Op I'm going read this because of your comment but if this is shit I'll come back to laugh at you
You should try reading the novel instead, the manhwa is still ongoing and might just leave you frustrated waiting for updates. If you don’t like it, you can always stop reading. No one’s forcing you to, after all. :)
Can you please share the link where to read the novel? I was on chapter 100 before but I stopped for some reason and now I lost the tab and forgot the website
Hi. You can read it on Webnovel, but keep in mind that the translation might differ from the original. The original version is available on Yonder.

Wat how do you know theres a "redemption" arc? Even the novel hasnt gotten that far, untranslated novel maybe ?
The novel is completed. The official translation is on Yonder, but you can also read it for free on Webnovel—just know the translations might differ. By the way, Mathias’s redemption arc starts around chapters 136–137.
Oh, I just realized the chapters on Webnovel aren’t complete. Sorry about that! Wuxiaworld’s the same, and Novel Updates has taken it down completely since it got licensed.
Wuxiaworld managed to upload up to chapter 143. There are a total of 170 chapters, including the Epilogue and Side Story.
I cant find it on wuxiaworld, can you please send me a ling
I love you so much （/TДT)/

Your speculation about this novel is so well define.
Yes, it’s depends on the readers view how he or she perceive it, and what kinda story they enjoy. There is nothing wrong about loving to read toxic fiction unless that doesn’t harm ones life, and one could endure it psychologically. But if not please be aware and quit it.
I love your description so much i just have to leave a reply. (▰˘◡˘▰)
Leaving a reply because I’m so obsessed with the way you wrote this review. I’m also reading the novel and I couldn’t agree more with your point of view. I love this story mainly because I’m attracted to flawed and imperfect characters. And lastly, to be honest, I think I would undoubtedly read whatever you recommended, your descriptions are just that good. Do you perhaps post reviews anywhere else as well?
Thank you! That’s so kind of you. This novel is definitely well written, and we're all looking at it through different lenses, which is what makes it so compelling. The characters' flaws and complexities really stand out, and I think that’s what keeps people hooked, even if we all have different takes on them. (=・ω・=)
Oh, thank you, that’s really kind of you! No, I don't really post reviews, I just saw a few comments asking if it’s worth reading, so I just felt like leaving a comment. The diversity of opinions really shows how powerful well-written, morally complex characters can be. (=・ω・=)
It's my go to novel. I love it so much how everything unfolds
@ch2 I'm confused, the father is a Baron, and the son(ML) is a young Duke?(⊙…⊙ ) Is this a mistranslation?
This gives off the same vibes as 'Cry, Even Better if You Beg'.
The title is disturbing. But it's 8.9 rating, so I'll give it a try.
Hi, for anyone who’s read the novel— is it finished? Does Rezef get a redemption arc? Does the manhwa still follow the novel? And where can I find the official translation? Thanks!
