I read this several months back, and I can say that this is SUCH a good manhwa in general - even outside of the isekai genre. It felt so... real? Like - all of the characters are super well-written, and so are their relationships and the way they interact with one another. It actually has a unique plot, lore, AND ending.
I'm so used to most of reincarnation manhwas being the typical "I got reincarnated as the Villainess, and now I have to avoid my death" and the plot is always them falling in love with some tall, dark, and handsome duke, while the "main character of the novel" is some blondie innocent-looking bitch that is manipulating everyone, or whatever.
The entire concept with the dragons and witches of the world is also so interesting. I legit CRIED reading this shit and specifically reading the ending. I really loved how she ACTUALLY fought to go back to her original world, and didn't simply settle down with some duke in a fantasy world. I remember the first time I finished reading this I deadass felt numb for 2 days LMAO.
Literally 20/10 read, don't remember reading anything as good as this in a WHILE.
Really LOVED this, but I haven't been able to find anything with the same feel. I'd really like some reccs! I don't mind whether its mlm, wlw or mlw, that's irrelevant, I just want something that has similar feel to this ╮(￣▽￣)╭ (and preferrably not smut, doesn't matter if it is smut though, as long as the story's good ig)
Murderous Lewellyn’s Candlelit Dinner at least for me has a very similar vibe. I don’t know if it’s gonna be like that for you but you should give it a try!
Taming the tyrant has similar vibe.
literally JUST finished reading it. it was such a rollercoaster i LOVED IT.
read this a WHILE back, however i dropped it, got boring for me :[ maybe I'll re-read and finish it at one point
Glad u liked it!! It’s one of my faves
To address the elephant in the room first, student x teacher is NOT it. At all.
Second - Considering the fact that the FL is 25 AND a teacher, I find it painfully stupid that she's written like a highschooler. Several times I had to stop reading and wonder whether the author has ever attended a school. She does not only behave childishly, girl does NOT defend herself in front of literal CHILDREN considering that she's their superior.
Third - As cute as I find the ML at times, and as much as I like his character development, that boy has absolutely no right to behave towards his teacher that way.
Overall, if it wasn't student x teacher, and if the FL wasn't so idiotically written, maybe it would've been better.
real, well said. That is why i am not fully immersed with the "romance" part. Im focusing more on ml's development...
I'm sorry but there are people who are actually like the FL- who's completely/ partially has no idea of situations and circumstances but they try their best to be kind and available for people who need them (or thinks people need them). These people are not always motivated by rewards and thus, can come off as dense and clumsy. I also have a friend who's so much like the FL. She doesn't even use social media so, she has almost zero idea of what and how the world is like since she limits herself in a very small world of hers as her comfort zone. Also, even after reading the latest raws, I can't help but observe that she's also learning as an adult (besides being a teacher) from her surroundings esp. from Raejun (and from her sunbae). I think the author has every right to shape the personality of the characters as even in the real world, we can see that people are of different personalities. If you're looking for a strong and smart FL, then I think it's not your cup of tea.
Again, I apologise if my reply offended you in any way.
I mean… if u knew that it’s teacherxstudent, why are you here? And it’s obvious she’s the way she is because of her family and trauma. FL doesn’t have any feelings for ML rn, so I’m not sure yet would even date in this point of time. Who knows maybe later?
ML is acting the way he is bc of trauma too, it’s like Youre not even reading it? Characters can multi layered and Hes distrustful and rude towards or assertive bc Hes that way bc of his mother not to saying that FL and ML dynamic isn’t weird or unique. But it’s the whole process and plot of the story, obviously they will developed better later
"they are acting the way they are because of trauma" ok okay so what now? i should go around and be rude to teacher just because i dont have a father and my mother used to hit me? trauma is not an excuse, and trauma certanly doesnt work that way. ML is multilayered sure, FL is written just blantly in my opinion. once again, her trauma aint got shxt to do with her literally letting kids humiliate her. if she was, say 16, sure, I'd understand not standing ul for herself, but at big 25 in front of STUDENTS? cut the crap
Girl I never said it was an excuse stop putting words in my mouth it was the reason why he acted the way he did. Not everyone reacts the same towards trauma, you can’t dictate a way ppl react it to it jusy bc u wouldn’t do the same LMAOO
It’s like you don’t read it. Her whole life she let her mother dictate what She had to do with her life, even to the point where her mom is controlling what she wears., obviously she’s a pushover with her students. Like duh??? Trauma affect you into your adulthood too.
If you have such a hard time comprehending the people at a certain way because of trauma or because of their childhood, then you should probably stop reading. The story is obviously about growth and development and that takes time and we’re only on chapter 40. Also onto the teacher student it was obviously right off the bat, so you decided to continue to read it and complain about the story. Since you know how much the teacher is a pushover I would assume that you continue to read it up to the most recent chapter so just leave if it the story really upsets you.
Off topic but how will she be a teacher at 16
i meant it as like - if she was a normal 16 y.o. student, i'd understand if she couldn't stand up for herself, does that make sense..? LMAO
(I did not read the novel, so this is only a manhwa-based opinion)
Okay so, stay with me on this, but considering its title, I thought it was gonna blow me away. I LOVED the plot twist where the author got revealed, and the entire thing with the author controlling the story, an unique concept if you ask me.
However, when you DO look at the big picture, it really IS a common isekai/reincarnation story, let's be real. We have this flawless MC which reincarnated as the villainess (how shocking) and is now trying to go down the different path, not to mention that she never makes mistakes and somehow always chooses the right path; so she marries this hot desired black haired duke who at first seems icy cold and who loathes her, but soon enough he starts falling for her! Shocker! So she's put against this innocent looking big-eyed blondie who, as it turns out, manipulates everyone (another shocker). And so a billion hardships and false accusations later she gets her happily ever after with the duke. Once again, don't get me wrong, story was amazing, solid 4/5 stars for me, but at the end of the day, it IS like every other reincarnation manhwa just reformatted and a bit more original.
I'm aware that majority of isekai manhwas are bound to go down this cliché path, but I just wish to see more originality, esp. if you specifically name your work "I thought it was a common isekai story", or "Not your typical reincarnation story" as the WEBTOON's title says.
Don't get me wrong, their love story is cute and all of that, but you know, in the beginning it was all about "Why did I go back in time? Why does Edwin keep regressing?" and typically in this genre of manhwas, regression happens to the MC so she could prevent some sort of big tragedy, you know? I expected a oittle bit of mystery, plot twists, THINGS HAPPENING. Their regression was never explained, and the worldbuilding lacks A BUNCH. I thought that I was in for an interesing story, but no. Over the time the entire manhwa just revolved around their cliché relationship, that everything else was overlooked and left in the dark.
Overall, I cannot say "Oh it's a bad story.", but I can say that it didn't move me, not even once. Everything that happened was very bland and predictable. Compared to some other manhwas of this genre, this one is just boring.
ALSO, what I forgot to add: HOW in the hell can Kit say that he was her first LOVE when she previously had not talked to him EVEN ONCE. At this point every pretty man that I've encountered in my life could be my first love. Kit, that's called a crush.
Well she's not wrong its not as if she love anyone else except him, so technically his her first and last love perhaps
So like... that's just it? Just like that? After everything?
I expected the ex-emperor to go down in a more... yk, tragic way? The sudden appereance of spirit kings and so many other things left unexplained.
Marquess Vlemir is also such a random love interest. IMO, she didn't even need one if it were going to be this random.
Didn't understand half of the things regarding big Leon. I was also hoping to see kiddos grow up. Like how in "Who made me a Princess" we can see Athanasia grow up as the time passes.
Last chapter was so random and rushed.
Honestly disappointed in the ending, as this has been one of my favorites for a while.
Honestly I don’t think the king guy was that bad? He did what a king should do and raised an heir while maintaining the nobles on both sides. Yeah he’s an ass but you know a decent king. The love interest thing was always kinda hinted at, when the building was crumbling a couple chapters back we could tell that they were both interested in the second empress. To the point even the king guy was like “hey bro that’s my second wife.” As for the ending I don’t have much to say but I see that others are saying it’s the same as the novel, so ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I actually liked his character, but not HIM. If that makes sense.
I'm just saying how I expected him to go down more tragically. Like he just died like that.
And I get that the love interest was building up. But he became the ML SO RANDOMLY.
It really does make sense because he did so little to be a good villain while all the other antagonists like blew up building and killed people
so like who's son is dead??? and what happened to the kid FL saved??? is the "dead son" that child FL saved or what? and WHOSE SON IS HE? Elise and emperor's or Elise and that other magician's?? ALSO WHY WON'T VALETTA AND REINHART JUST KISSSSSS LORDDDD
My guess is the son is either the prince somehow or the sword kid, but I'm here for the mystery lol so I'll accept the wait for now
I was so invested in this story and I really liked the mix of psychological topics and comedy, but what the hell is up with the sudden end? I wanted Miss Kim's backstory, and I really wanted to see in which direction the kids are going to go. Wtf
