Oh thank god they deleted the entire mess of translations happening past Ch. 22.
(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I was so worried that another webtoon had been ruined by bad translations.
Gaaaah! He's so freaking TOXIC!
And yet I can't hate this story, or even Arhad as a character. I still really like it so much it FRUSTRATES ME...!
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
This is a complete rip-off of Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu xD
Only I liked that one better... ╮(￣▽￣)╭
most isekai are the same tbh
Well... If you view Isekai stories as a new sub genre of fantasy, then yes and no.
But I have read a LOT of Isekai, and though there are many similarities and common tropes, I have not yet read two stories that are THIS similar.
The similarities are sooo specific.
A woman wearing glasses gets summoned to another world along with another girl, because that world needs a saintess. Then, because the other girl is more beautiful, she is immidiately assumed to be the saintess while the mc is overlooked.
The prince takes immidiate interest in other-girl, while mc is left to fend for herself and thus gets a job close to the castle.
She meets the commander of the knights and gets friendly with him and romance insues.
Along the way some knights are injured and mc uses her powers to heal them, which makes people suspect that she is in fact the saintess - not the other girl.
She also gets rid off her glasses at some point, making others notice her beauty...
Sound familiar yet? Yeah, I just summarized Seijo.
It's just kinda funny ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I really wish ppl would stop doing half-assed translations like this latest chapter.
Especially when there's already another group who's working on it AND providing high quality translations.
Lol. She's an arch mage, Kilian.
She could blow up a mountain if she wanted to, or just teleport out of danger.
She can take care of herself, so no need to be such a worry wart.

This ML suffers a serious case of yaoi hands in some of the panels, lol
Wtf is up with the ML completely disregarding the FL's wish to not be married?
If you just want to take responsibility, then give up when the woman doesn't want it.
She's definitely going to be forced into the marriage, despite any half-hearted protests.
Then she'll end up falling for her husband anyway, so the emperor won't ever have to apologise for or reflect on his forceful and inconsiderate behaviour.
The art style is pretty, but that's about the extent of the compliments I can give this Webtoon.
The plot is really basic, the FL is kinda boring, the ML is misogynistic, the circumstances of their engagement is unrealistic...
Yeah, this is def not for me...
That's not a fair statement. He already announced that they are engaged to a large group of people and even put someone in jail for disrespecting his fiancee. This was bound to happen. Like what was he supposed to do just be like it was joke everyone hahaha. The bitch that was in jail would basically be in jail for no reason and her whole family would ask for compensation. If turned out to be a joke the FL would be a laughing stock 10x. The FL is kinda stupid in my opinion for not seeing that coming. She enjoyed teaching that girl a lesson with the help of the prince and now it's time to pay the piper. Sorry for the grammar I am on mobile.
I mean he have to though. She an idiot if she didn’t see that coming. She basically used the emperor to get revenge on that girl instead of sticking up for herself and saying what she thinks in a classy way. He put a woman in jail because of her so do you really expect him to publicly admit that they aren’t getting married and that he just said it to help out the girl he “love” first off her social life will be over and the emperor will definitely get in trouble or face some backlash. If the FL just learn how to handle her own problems instead of being scared and trying to get out of the situation that SHE cause then she wouldn’t even have to worry about being his wife. The fl cause this mess so now she have to pay for her actions.
Exactly!!
Yeah, she should've known the ship had already sailed the moment he professed that they were engaged in front of everyone.
However, that was done without her involvement or consent, so it still comes down to him being inconsiderate and controlling.
Look, I'm not going to defend FL.
She needs to grow a back bone and learn to fend for herself.
I'm just saying that ML put her in a situation with no way out, which was selfish and inconsiderate.
Using the excuse of "defending her in the moment" to force her into marriage - something that will shape and change her life permanently - is a prime example of controlling behaviour imo.
Buy yeah, they're both stupid, so maybe it's a waste of time to critize them ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Controlling? Sure but inconsiderate is a bit of a stretch. What do you expect him to do in that situation? Call it off and say it was a joke or say that she dumped him? She would be made out as a fool. She better off skipping towns or living in the mountains because her social life would be ruined. And she might also need to compensate the family of the female that she had gotten put in jail for insulting the emperor fiancée. She was using him to get out of a situation that she caused. She had the choice to not go to that event especially when she knew that the countress was just going to try to publicly humiliate her. At the end of the day she have no choice but to agree to be his fiancée since it was already known publicly.
If she cares that much about not marrying him then she should have never caused a problem in the first place. She slapped her. Sure it was for a good cause but she still slapped her. And she didn’t even try to defend herself after she slapped her. If she gonna act tough and defend others then she should also defend herself.
Um I sort of get where you're coming fr but I think you're missing something. The fact of the matter is they may or may not have slept together. That would have ruined her without the engagement especially if she were to get married eventually. She would have been known as a loose woman without her virginity. Also there's a chance that she could be pregnant. Her life would have been even more hell if that turned out to be the case and she's not married to or engaged to the emperor. Plus it's not like he's a womaniser or something. From the flashbacks it is hinted that he has had feelings for her for a very long time. He's being pushy yes but at the end of the day he knows what he wants. Also how can mere commoners like ourself ever understand him. He GREW UP in an environment where he is entitled and probably been told that he is right even when he "wrong". I personally don't see anything wrong with it. He helped her out big time and he's always been interested in her. The only reason why she acting the way she acting is because she insecure and she all bark but no bite.
I'm saying: don't announce an engagement in front of a large group of people, without consulting your fiancee to be, in the first place.
THAT is what is inconsiderate.
If she wanted to risk being known as a loose woman or an illegitimate pregnancy, then that would be her choice to make.
He's missing the step where he talks to her and gets her opinion, before announcing their engagement.
He completely decides for her and THAT is why I'm saying he's being controlling and inconsiderate.
Am I missing something here?
How did the natural consequence of slapping someone become getting forced into a marriage?
There should be plenty of other ways to help her out in that situation, than to say she's the emperors fiancee.
I agree with your characterisation of the Emperor.
He was most likely raised being entitled, especially when it came to women, as he grew up in a patriarchal society.
That doesn't mean he's right, though.
Just because he has "an excuse" doesn't mean it's okay to act like that. The consequences are still the same, regardless of intentions and reasoning.
There is always an excuse, but what we should look at and judge is a person's actions.
She had the opportunity to defend herself and say that she is not marrying him. Even if it is in front of a bunch of people she could have told him that she doesn’t want to marry him.
But guess what she did? SHE used HIS name to get her ex fiancé wife thrown in jail instead of using that opportunity to clear up any misunderstandings. And explaining to people that she isn’t his fiancée even if it mean she will embarrass the emperor. She is just as much in the wrong as him.
She should be able to help herself out if the situation SHE caused. She all bark and no bite. If you’re gonna slap someone then you should also be able to handle the consequences of your actions along with be able to defend yourself and not make yourself look like a fool in front of people.
She supposed to be a “strong female lead” but the way she acting isn’t strong at all. She acts like a damsel in distress that needs a man to save her. And she got exactly that. Man who saved her from a problem she caused.
She could have ignored her ex fiancé wife and stood up for herself but she keeps putting herself in troublesome situation.
I see your point.
I still believe what he did was selfish, but she did act like a damsel in distress.
She didn't think her actions through and didn't do anything to defend herself.
That just means they are both stupid
Touché.
Using his name instead of defending herself and then thinking she could just walk away afterwards without consequence, was beyond stupid.
Guess they're a pair of idiots. They deserve each other ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Yupppp, they’re both stupid and deserve each other.
Okay same could be said about her. Just because she could slap someone doesn't give her to right to do so. Also didn't give her the right to claim she engage with the emperor to avoid said consequences. She already gave up ALL RIGHTS to disagree or not wanting to participate when SHE agreed to use his name or his cla of her being a fiancé.
You can't go to a restaurant order the food take a couple bites then be like nah bruh I don't want this or I won't pay for this cause I don't like it. You already put your grummy spoon in it and your mouth best start swallowing everything on that dish. It is what it is. How you make your bed is how you gon lay on it. 乁( •_• )ㄏ
I hope she isn't stupid enough to actually go alone and not tell anyone. Like, could Yuri be any more obvious about her intentions?
And not like the girl is smart enough to figure it out if Dani tells someone or has someone follow them anyway.
Is it worth the read?
I started to read this when there were still only a few chapters available but dropped it because it seemed messy and all over the place.
Has it improved? Would it be worth picking up again?
I would say it is still all over the place but I'm still reading it to see how it will go to the main plot
i would say its good to read, its cute and funnyyyヾ(☆▽☆)
Lol. No amount of sappy backstory is going to make me like the Emperor.
A sad past does not excuse his actions.
He still kept her in the dark, manipulated her, spied on her, tried to control her and when that failed, threatened her. Then he abused his power to make her an outlaw, hunted her, kidnapped her children and he is STILL neither explaining himself nor trying to listen to her/understand her perspective.
He isn't treating her like a lover. He's not even treating her like a person and I HATE THAT I CAN SEE WHERE THE AUTHOR IS MOST LIKELY TAKING THIS.
Imo, there are only two routes the author can take to save this story and not make it a cliché-toxic-romance:
1. Double down on the angst.
Make the Emperor more obsessive and cruel and turn the genre towards thriller/horror where the mc needs to save her kids and try to escape the Emperor for good.
2. Make the Emperor repent.
And I mean REALLY repent. Make him see EXACTLY the kind of manipulative, controlling asshole he's been and REGEET IT. BIG TIME.
I'd honestly prefer the first one at this point. Rn any attempt to make him more likeable, is going to feel forced and cliché.
So, I'm debating with myself whether I should prepare myself for disappointment, but hope for the best, and stick around or just save myself the grief and drop this...
Thank you I keep seeing comments on how she shouldn't of ran away or kept the kids from him but he seriously needs to do some growing because as far as I've seen he's been nothing but toxic and kinda emotionally abusive towards her she did what she thought was best for her and the kids safety
I hate it when authors give us their sob stories to try and make us pity them and excuse their actions for the sake of the relationship support from the readers
Ikr?
Like, he did nothing to earn her trust. He knew she was pregnant when she asked him the what he'd do if a woman confessed she was with his child, yet he still told her "she would be lying".
No encouragement, no honesty, no nothing. He just fed her insecurities and fears and for what? Amusement?
Next, when she discovers their dreams together are real, she becomes justifiably angry. He could apologise. He could beg for her forgiveness. He could profess his love. He could try to explain himself.
Yet, does he do any of these things? No.
He doubles down and tells her: "Then I'll bring you back by force".
She may not have done much to understand him better beyond the rumours, but he certainly didn't do anything to improve his reputation or earn her trust, beyond letting her sit on his lap (which gross uncles and mall Santas can also do). Lol.
It's so fakeeeeee. Like, STAPH IT.
If a neighbour killed my cat, then I found out he had a tragic backstory where cats ate his parents' corpses or some shit, it still would not change the fact THAT HE KILLED MY CAT.
It may explain why he's afraid of cats, and thus why he'd be tempted to kill my cat when he saw it on his lawn, but it wouldn't excuse his actions.
