Got baited by the cool cover and got massively disappointed. Just another harem dream where the plot armor is the only reason women are interested in the mc. He is not as handsome as in the cover, not as intelligent as author wants to make him be and not as charismatic as such a character should be to be a good comic with these settings.
The cursed/blessed to get attention from evil aligned peope is such have such a great potential for a interesting comic... but it's wated on an harem... and really this isn't even one of those where mc has multiple women falling for him as result of the plot... is one of those where the plot and everything else revolves around women being exageratedly into mc... and worse, competing with each other for him.
I should've expected this from that first chapter but it was such a waste... even the art that is cool and with detailed clothes feel wasted by giving the female students miniskirts and heels when theres fighting involved.. I feel even more betrayed cuz the cover looks nice...
I like the fact that it's fast paced... now... I just wish mc had been honest with them and them with her... I don't think this "misunderstanding" will affect the plot enough for it to exist tbh...
However... I don't really see anything that really makes me want to read it. Like... it has nothing really special about it. The main point to me is really it being fast paced and the hope it will end in less than 200 chapters... if less than a 100 even better. It's not like I think it's bad and want it to just end... I'm just... honestly tired of never-ending stories.. like.. with weekly chapters it takes years to finish them... sometimes I just want to read something short yn...
Yeah no... the art change was not it... they're so ugly I don't think I'll keep up with this one... such a downgrade...
To go and read the novel again

Thank you
Omg... the hair drill curls... I can't... I can overlook her bratty and arrogant behavior since she is a literal princess as it seems... but good Lord... her hair is horrendous! It's even worse than MC's white shirt! Let's hope she doesn't stay for long... her hair really trows me off...
At least she didn't go all snob on him like most do; she's taking it in strides and seeing she was smart not to approach him in such a way.
Welp... she did see him with one of his OP teachers on that boat right? But she did try... just got ignored the 1st time and got that reality check by everyone praising him before she could try again...
Her blessing in disguise o_o she was saved humiliation. Wonder how it went in the novel though LOL
Yeah... at least she didn't go all tsundere with an inferiority complex on him... what I like most in this is that it doesn't use women as plot device all the time with a bunch of guys hating on mc because he is popular with women and picking a fight all the time... and he brought blondie with him cuz she traded something useful with him..
Like... people are normal... guys don't hate on mc and have inferiority complex all the time and women don't throw themselves at mc and try to cling on him cuz he is strong... got tired of seeing that in most ch comics...
So no matter how mc never changes clothes... I'll still keep reading it...
Oh blondie, are you talking about the thief chick? This webtoon took out most of the details from the novel, but she really earns her way and isn't useless. Most of the women around him really are hardworking and strong-willed. Not a fan how they are cutting it out, but just keep in mind no woman in this series is weak, they do actually help when they can even if they don't draw it.
Similar to how lazy the clothes changes are is how lazy they do the other characters. The story is great. It's just a shame we aren't shown how great the other characters are unless it's needed for the plot. =,=
The crown princess is a villainess for sure but I don't really hate her... married to a man that doesn't love her, losing a child and everything she went through... she's not really right in the head and I mean... her actions are at least understandable...
But the cp? Yeah... he's the root of it all ain't he? I mean... even that son turning into a vampire probably wouldn't happen if he was given a proper burial and a place in the imperial family's grave right? I won't even mention he not marrying 2 women cuz maybe he couldn't control that... but the rest? Its on him tbh...
100% agreed with you..all of them is victim beside the CP ..the wife that lost her child become insane, the stillborn child that should be freed but become a vile being instead and also the neglected 2nd child that really love his mother but always got treated as a substitute, the second wife ..died protecting her two children and the husband wasn't even there ..the eldest son become bedridden but he only visit then go on hunting his dead child ..the neglected young 7 th prince that lost her mother Infront of him and also getting despised by his biological brother ....the crown prince does not fit to be the emperor..he can't even protect his family
The plagiarizing aside... there's a lot not to like this... I get he wanting revenge... and he knows well the company and all... but it's unbelievably stupid for him to go there again... even more so then he is going against that nepobaby that already has a bunch of insiders there. It would be smarter to go somewhere else and poach talent from them before they bloom. I mean... that's their family company and he's just making more money for them...it's not bad overall... just dumb...
Also... their lips make me think of JOJO and it's trowing me off..
Or Christelle is becoming manlier by the chapter??? Like... I'm not talking about being ladylike... but literally looking more manly... when she was talking with her stepmother in the streets she was looking like a man... I even thought I saw an adam apple on her neck... and the nicknale Oli is also way manlier than calling her Chris or Ellie (I know the middle name thing) would...
I'm not complaining about it... I wouldn't mind even if her gender changed or something... just... curious to know if I was the only one that noticed... and btw... I ship her more with Haynes tbh...the idea of a trouple is interesting... but I think she fits better with him... personality-wise... dealing with both her and Cp seems tiring af... I pity Jesse for it. I know Cp will need to have both a religious and a political partner and she's the best candidate for now because of their friendship but... She and Cp really have no romantic chemistry at all... I wonder how things will go...
I'm open to spoilers...
So far, all the strong womans here look like men, and the men like Jesse stepfather and Cedric father look femenine.
Even madame Monette drees like a man and her fiance who is the servan of Jesse looks kinda femenine… the only man that looks manly here is Cedric lol and I shipp him with Jesse hahaha
True... and I'm lovin it tbh... maybe it's that... at first she was more feminine and it's slowly becoming less... I also shipp them...
True.. Sometimes it feels weird. I have no problem if it's really how they look but making them look like that when they're originally not is when it starts bothering me.
I mean, I guess that's just character growth? Christelle wasn't originally a knight-in-training or anything if I remember right. But she's been training for a while now, so it makes sense that her physique has changed since then to reflect that.
Ah.. That could be.. But I think it was mostly because of her face, hair and neck combo in the latest chapter.. Especially the neck..
This is what I call a smut josei... she is gorgeous, the guy is gorgeous, and she is willing and not swept into it. And you can see that it's made for female gaze when you see her wearing beautiful lingerie and they don't draw her making werid faces during the smut... I'm thankful they chose not to draw her mouth when she was giving hd cuz when they do... at least to other girls, they look ugly af... maybe men find that attractive but honestly I can't help but think: do we look that ugly doing it?? Heck no... so yeah... they are cute
Tbh when I first stardes the novel I didn't like too much.. ended dropping and not getting why the hype. Mainly because the writing style didn't fit well with me at the time... when the comic came up i liked it but felt it was... way lighter and less mysterious than the novel. This new art seems to fit the work better.
But lets be honest... I have 0 patience for a chapter every other week... and they seem very short as well. I'll keep reading this to have a guideline to the characters looks but will probably go for the novel. I'm kinda tired of comics that go on for years and years with no end in sight. It's torture for binge-readers... novel it is. I guess now that I'm older I'll like the novel better.
Get ready for peak, once you finish the first volume you will know why it’s soo hyped up because it’s a trend that continues to the end
Oh I believe you! I guess I was just too young and new into novels at the time... and it was long ago... like 4yrs at least? And I wasn't so much into the plot's vibe... I'm sure I'll like it more now...
Totally feel you in this!! I also started reading this back when this comic got its first release so I started to read the novel. Or well, I tried lol. Dropped it pretty quickly because I could just not get through it, however like a year ago I started again and I was flying through it. It’s so good! And actually hype worthy which is rare these days. If you ever feel like picking it up again I hope you have a better reading experience, just like I did <3
Can you reccomend a link to read it? Idk if there are multiple translated versions, but possibly the one most fitting with the original?
The official translation is on Webnovel
You can also find epubs which have the same translation
Webnovel... that's a place I haven't gone to in some time... I used it a whole effing lot at the beginning... when they were still promising most novels would stay free... then... they slowly started pay-walling things... till it became basically pay per read... I wonder if there's still anything free there... last time I've been there even the fandics written by readers were paid already...
