Man I feel old! This show made no sense and from the comments that manga didn't make any sense and was cancelled? Damn, well at least I'll get to refresh my memory I suppose. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Yeah, this ain't fooling no one. This is Remarried Empress copy-pasted and the fact its managed to get this far is crazy. I know that original ideas are getting harder and harder to come up with, but seriously? Doing nothing but making the "Navia" more emotive and making the "Trashta" more outwardly evil is diabolical.
Sorry, not sorry because I can't support this. I won't be reading it. I can't even wish luck towards whoever this plagiarizer is just due to their sheer laziness.
At least make it less obvious you're ripping off another story. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
The premise is interesting I guess, but beyond that, nothing interesting has happened beyond the obvious duplicity with the backstory for this otome game. The game makes it seem that the princess CHOSE to sacrifice herself when it was the complete opposite. She's framed and forced to sacrifice herself for a world that doesn't care about her. Now she's gone with the Demon King and there's something he's aware of that she's not due to the vagueness the otome game likely had. It's not completely offensive but its also not that interesting until there's more to see I guess.
I love how collectively we're all just telling Caesar to just fuck off LMAO
I feel like this is the first time where the 2nd ML hasn't captured me. But tbh, there was never a competition here. Why settle for a puppy when you can have a tiger? ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I will not lie. Out of the millions of zombie apocalypse stories, this surge of environmental apocalypse stories isn't a bad thing. I've noticed that they get shorter preparation time in comparison to others, but that also make things a little more interesting. What I don't understand is people's fascination with having these things take place in NYC. XD
Now this is just Luo Binghe! They thought we didn't notice, but we did! XD
So this is usually my favorite "genre" of fantasy. The exiled noble with "useless" magic leave their toxic home environment to find happiness somewhere they can build a life for themselves, but this? It's a great premise, but subpar execution.
If the development of his new home was stretched out more, I could see myself continuing to read this. But with how it is now? I don't much care for it. I thought it would be a couple of chapters of him and Wood bonding and making a home, but the moment an Elf girl showed up. My expectations plummeted. As if it couldn't get any worse, suddenly when he needs skilled craftsmen, who should appear but a group of random dwarves? A group of random dwarves falling all over themselves to be his labor force because he slapped some bandages on them? Yeah, if my hopes for this hadn't hit rock bottom already, it was kicked off a cliff into the void.
Yeah, no.
Hell, the Dragon thing makes sense more than the other two seeing as the forest is seemingly said to be teeming with monsters. If the Dragon had been the first encounter he had, it would have led to him receiving a blessing from them after he rendered them help. Then I could understand other beings showing up one after the other, maybe due to some luck he gains from the blessing. He seemingly has had no luck in anything else, so getting a blessing would've been able to explain why he's suddenly getting all the luck now.
The whole thing with his sister and brother suddenly caring about their "useless" brother is just stupid. There's no build up to this. Sure, we can just assume that the MC is an unreliable narrator. However, its clear that at least the younger sister didn't seem to care much as the two of them hadn't even held a conversation in such a long time that the MC was sure she didn't care for him. The father is a piece of work, because as someone who has a hand in the military, why would he think his son's nature magic is useless?
He can literally grow crops. The same crops that can feed your troops, feed your territory, etc. Like just because he can't club someone in the head with the magic, doesn't make it useless. It doesn't matter how many enemies you can take out with a lightning spell if your troops and people are starving. Ugh, whatever. I'm just done with this one.
All of it as it is presented is contrived and as if the mangaka is just fulfilling a checklist of magical beings to get out of the way just so they can focus on stuff they want to do. Everything is just conveniently happening to and for the MC with little actual effort on his part. That's lame.
┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I'll give this a 2/5. 1 star for the premise and the second for Wood, because they are adorable! (▰˘◡˘▰)
Got any recommendations on similar (but better) stories?
You became a mistress only to fail in getting the equal standing you were hoping for!
I don't even know what to think. It was interesting. Dark, and real messed up with the noncon/dubcon, but overall great? Uh, good thing its short. If this were any longer than it was then it likely wasn't gonna end well. (￣∇￣")
