somnia's Manga

You start reading, it's fine, it's fun. An enjoyable storyline for all it's worth. The twins had spice, went through a lot and it was exciting to see them discover their heritage and talents. But then the sus sets in. For whatever reason marriage is brought up, specifically only for the sister and a whole side-plot begins where she's the center point of EVERYTHING. Her abduction, her perils in love or what have you, meanwhile her poor brother is left at the sidelines and is so irrelevant all of the sudden. If the author wanted to show how the siblings matured and grew to develop seperate identities, wow that was a poor ass job. The focus of the story was always the twins and their goal towards freedom and happiness, they wanted to explore this new world they were born into after being confined in a mansion for most of their childhood. Romance was so out of theme here. Especially a romance with their own fucking spirit animal... Why make the girl fall in love with him out of all the options?? Like it's so awkward because they SHARE their guardian, making the bro ok with it doesn't fucking help esp since he was always the one who admired their magic pocket puppy the most???? The chemistry is just not there, it's the same energy as talking to that one 2nd degree cousin at a cook-out that you don't remember. They left the brother in the dust with no significant journey of his own, and even if he did have one I wouldn't want to see it bc of how poorly the sister's was handled.
Never thought I'd say this but I hope the artist and author just give up, there's no hope.

Your usual basic shoujo drama plot + coffee talk.
FL is forced to marry a duke from another country, easy task bc she was abused all her life and can't wait to get away. She was a barista in the life before and remembers it, so that's where the coffee knowledge comes from. Basically the same thing as the Duchess' 50 tea recipes, but with coffee.

It's interesting in the way that you wanna see what the past and new villains will be up to, but other than that I'm lukewarm about this. I simply cannot feel FL's betrayal bc her once-friends are such shallow one-dimensional characters, so obviously caricatures of your usual 3 flavors of potential love interests.
None of these people's intereactions so far had any spice, only when FL faces a bad guy does it get spicy ffs, and I bet the translations we got going on rn ain't helping. FL herself I don't find all that charming either. She knows that their friendship was based on their romantic interest, but is upset (I get the fiance but I'm talking more about the dragon and priest) that they leave her for another woman. She also got those weird nostalgic flashbacks where all of them are obviously seeing her in a romantic light or being vaguely romantic, and then she's like "we were friends, oh and yea I only reciprocated my fiance ofc". Maybe it's bc all character got pretty shallow personalities. In a story that lacks so much you notice this type of shit very quickly, and it basically ruins the whole plot. Like, Grace's whole thing with seducing the fishies makes no sense if you know the spoilers. There is no reason for it, but it's the title of the manhwa anyway? Ok, ig.

I don't know why this is so highly rated tbh, it feels so basic to me. The author didn't bother to actually look into how divorce procedures or business works, so it just feels like the world is bending around MC to make her look successful. I'm no businessman myself, but this void of detail is so obvious bc everytime MC wants to outdo other businesses (or literally anyone) she just spends more money. Speaking of money, in a manwha all about money you'd think it would be explained how much money is worth where, or at least the value compared to Won, Dollars or whatever... but it never is. You just have to take MC's word for it when she says this much is little for that without any explanation as to why. The only reason, I think, people can overlook that is bc they're caught up in projecting themselves on a MC that literally cannot go wrong no matter what she does. The world building in this story is also close to nothing, we're just left with assuming the basics, while MC goes through the 10 things a perfect reincarnated shoujo protagonist has to face in every generic isekai romance list. The only times when I read something close to world building, it's something bad that MC has to try and fix because it's bad.
