I don't know if it's something wrong with the adaptation from novel to comic but the height difference between FL and ML currently is extreme because she looks like a preschool and he looks like he's in the middle of high school. Her head heightwise is way below his hip height. She is shorter than dick height WTF. This feels illegal.
I think its her malnutrition and the special species
It's that manhwa height logic at work where boys are always a foot taller than girls before puberty
I'm not sure how well that arguement is gonna hold up because the story rarely references what meals she had and they never really actually explain the special species aside from a few lines of dialogue but also the visual imagery of her being below dick height and practically a third of his height/size is really off putting considering that she is going to get hitched to the guy. It's kind of like making the 1000 year old loli arguement like yeah in context this "isn't pedophilic" but the imagery kind of speaks for itself when my knee jerk reaction is "get the fuck away from that child" it doesn't help that she's really naive and ignorant adding more to her innocent childlike vibe while her love interest is a slimey little shit who thinks she deserves to eat and die cause she used to be poor and it shows.(but he's pretty so the story forgives him for being an asshole because that's shoujo )
Basically the story keeps not only implying that she's a child through her design but also through the way she acts and thinks( the way she thinks and acts is different from all the other characters because she's "pure") . The story is basically screaming, crying, whispering, muttering, speaking all to say this is an innocent little child.
Trigger warning for sexual assualt, some light slut shaming from me and rape
Ch.1- porno bullshit where sexual activities cause magic to be "absorbed" into one another.
Ch.2 - MC is acting more like a generic FL with how naive, oblivious and "innocent" they portray her as, ML feels like he only likes her because she's poor, also they're pulling some bullshit where the character she possessed made the ML fall in love with her so he isn't really in love with her but the original mob character, tldr he doesn't fall in love with her because he already fell in love with OG mob character.
Ch.3 - YAAASSS HE DESERVES TO BE WITH OG MOB NOT YOU BITCH. You can't make me feel bad story these two were basically just fuck buddies.
Ch.4- OG fl is kind of a creep but ML is also a creepy rapey kind of guy so I guess they deserve each other. They just made FL a generic female like omg she's such a basic bitch. God I hate this rapey ML. WHAT!! NO!! I DON'T WANT THEM TOGETHER HE SUCKS AND SHE SUCKS FOR PRETENDING TO BE HIS FIRST LOVE THIS IS ALL AWFUL.
Ch.5- and then they fucked in the bath. Oh hey OG fl is doing some shit thank god hope she fucks over the FL. And now he wants to take her on a trip alone together. God I'm just so tired.
Ch.6- Bitch what do you mean it's different ML raped you the first time unless she's a shallow little slut who only cares about looks wait... Oh my god she really only likes ML because of his looks and his dick. JUST BE FUCK BUDDIES. OG fl please I beg of you just get rid of FL or ML PLEASE.
Ch.7- what kind of rescue romance bullcrap was that??? NOW HE'S ACTING EMBARRASSED WHEN SHE'S TOLD THAT HE KEPT TRYING TO MARRY HER BEFORE???AND THAT IT'S "EMBARRASSING" THAT HE COULDN'T GO TO SCHOOL BECAUSE OF HIS "SPECIAL" POWERS. Dude its not your girl it's some other bitch in her body. I hate how weak willed and dependent she is on ML like have some of your own skills and attributes to bring to the table because basic human decency is not a desired trait but an expected one. God FL is such a whore in a useless slut way not in a sexy "you go gurl" bad bitch way.
Overall hate everyone but OG fl because she's trying to fuck over the annoying ML and FL. Think OG fl and ML should get together because they both suck and are therefore perfect for each other. Also it would show how shitty that shallow slut of a FL is because she knows jack shit about this guy other than the fact that he is rich and hot. but fucks him and gets jealous over other girls she doesn't even do anything for him other than have sex with him she like sew his clothes once but he's basically doing everything for her in return for having sex with her. Lets not forget to mention he likes her because "She's not like other girls"
Rest of the chapters are ads for a sketchy anime website.
I wanted to read based on how passionate this review is XD
It IS really bad. Im accustomed to selfish, shitty, self-serving MLs.
But when would authors realise that they cant jump into a concept without making sure your MC is likable. No one and i mean NO ONE likes an incompetent, passive, weak-minded MC that needs others to mind her.
Also, I never understand why authors would choose the villainess for MCs to transmigrate and give them MOB personalities. She's A Villainess!! If you want to make her kind then fine! She can be arrogant, scheming, confident And Kind.
If MC transmigrates into a villainess, let her have some villainess qualities.
But if authors want to make MC act like a MOB, let her be a MOB!!
The gold standard for villainess transmigration are "death is the only ending for the villainess" and "kill the villainess" because the MCs can't rely on anything or anyone but themselves because everyone thinks less of them and the only other people who don't only like them for their position or money moreover the only people who actually care about them are dead or not influential enough to help which makes it a real survival story as she has to fend for herself in what is essentially a den wolves that want to see her humilated, suffering, dead, transform into an obedient, dependent woman or just want to use her as a plaything. I like it even more if she doesn't inherit the special skills of the body she possesses because that helplessness makes it even more endearing as she doesn't have any stable relationships, power or assests she is essentially doomed become powerless and isolated but her perserverance and drive to survive to the end are so worth the read because they know damn well all the men are fickle they don't even bother with romance that they themselves intiate because the only time they ever bother with romantic relations is when THEY want to.
Tldr I like it when villainess characters are helpless in almost every sense of the word but not stupid,naive or weak enough to just lie down and accept their demise.
Can everyone say amen!!!
I did not expect her to be prejudiced to this extent like damn. I swear if she gets "mad" at him for hiding this from her here's hoping she doesn't do that shit. If she tries to kill him for this I will fully stop liking her and root for her demise and Cossete to win. I like him more than I like her.
The mother was fairly abusive but she changes when she travels back in time she does as the title suggest and enters a contract marriage with the emperor my main issue is instead of being physically abusive with her daughter she is now just neglectful of her daughter I'm pretty sure everyone around has spent more time around her then with her mother because she sometimes gets given an abhorrent amount of sugary food but her mother doesn't care that much also everytime her mother tells her something she always ignores it somewhat like talking with the emperor. IF YOU CARE SO MUCH MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN INSTEAD OF RELYING ON SOME RANDOM WORKERS TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR DAUGHTER. The entire story you are constantly thinking "where the f@ck is her mom?" because I don't think a little girl should be eating a macaron tower the same height as herself.
One thing I don't like about the daughter's writing it never feels like how a child would act it feels more like someone's idealised version of a child would act like she rarely acts out, never throws a tantrum, knows a bad person when she feels it superstitiously so she doesn't need to heed stranger danger because she "knows" which ones are "bad" even though her alcoholic mother beat her consistently she was never considered a "bad" person because she was really pretty or whatever, she never plays any games( I started watching bluey) , most of the story adults like her because she's "innocent" but all children are like that so it doesn't really feel like its her thats special but that all children are wonderful little saints which makes so that the story can be about anyone not just her, she has no friends her age but is social enough to make friends with every adult, she just doesn't act like a child which makes it weird when the story gets it right from time to time.
Lighting and colors in the art is real good with a warm summer vibe for everything except for some same face syndrome, the little girl can have a big forehead/cranium in some panels. Also I think she's supposed to be closer in age with the younger guy characters like the prince but all the younger guy characters are like twice and sometimes 2.5x her height which makes it really jarring considering one of these younger guys is the ML. She looks like a toddler and they look pubescent. Look I'm not that picky with my historical manhwa I don't care that much about the clothing but good god at some point the immersion breaks when a child character unironically is wearing heart shaped SUNGLASSES when they don't even have cars and is treated like its accurate to the time period
So you're telling me I have to be invested in the abusive and rapey ex of one of the main guys? Do you think I want him to be happy???? Then you're also going to throw in the guy you used as jealousy bait in the sides?? I don't even care about him that much he's really not that interesting aside form the fact he's not homophobic and rides a motorcycle. I'll come back when the story focuses more on the OG couple on the cover.
I hope new guy is interesting and not just bait for side romance those are usually less thought out and less interesting than the main pair. He might be used as jealousy bait for more rough sex with the main couple which might be kind of hot.
hope he gets interested in Dan and treats him really good.
Yeah he needs some TLC after Jaekyung
Finea's whole family is wearing matching outfits but she's wearing LIGHT PINK and FUR wtf. Then the Queen is wearing BLUE their families are all wearing black and red while the little blonde girl's parents and her are matching. Just feels like they should be matching because instead of making them unique they stick out like a sore thumb and make them stick out then look harmonious. IDK maybe it's just me
I thought it was weird when she asked for candy but is this a frozone situation? Like she can't heal without candy? Is the candy the fuel?
The interactions between Rubia and the other club members is like an old lady and her grand nephews/nieces or an old spinster and some neighborhood kids. Its like let this old lady rest but she won't get rid of you cause you're cute
She keeps getting into compromising positions with various men and it feels really naive and ignorant of her to assume other people won't talk shit she has rumors about her and she isn't considering her actions in how they contribute to her looking like a money and power hungry hedonistic slut. I'm not saying I want her fiancé to get a good ending but she keeps doing dumb shit rn and is acting so fucking helpless it's getting annoying istg if she ends up getting "hurt" or "ashamed" by the rumors around her I will not feel bad because really you didn't think getting held in the emperor's arms and having him sing you a lullaby would lead to rumors of you being his mistress.
Is the stupidity of the situation, HOW dumb can one be?! Every day this girl shows me there's a new level
