purplethylacine's Manga

6/10 tbh but mangago has an inflated rating system I think. Setz is an unfavorite princess who is the daughter of a very bitchy concubine. Rayton is prophesied cursed bb who will murder everyone. When he murders everyone, Seitz goes back in time to 5 years prior and she decides she doesn’t want to be murdered so she tried to get on Reyton’s hood side. They’re half siblings but I think reyton is secretly not the emperors kiddo. There’s some shallow royal scheming going on. Everyone is up to something but it’s all very “oooo I’ll secure power for myself hyuhhyuh” so far I haven’t felt like there’s a lot of mystery.

Rating could go up as the story goes on. I’m not lovi my the beginning but I’m enjoying it.

I0/10 This one is spicy and has great art. It has everything I look for in a manhwa: fucked up family, poison, torture, hot ML, hot FL, General Shenanigans

Objectively I’d give this an 8/10 bc the pacing is all over the place and tbh FL’s powers are explained pretty poorly and make very little sense. The world also makes very little sense. Like, what’s the economy? What do the nobles do all day besides try to kill each other? What’s up with the peasants? This is not a basis for a system of government. But it’s not supposed to be. It’s supposed to be ficked up and fun. And it is, hence 10/10

9/10 My girl is in a time loop and she is DONE with everyone in this timeline.

Art is excellent. FL is a bit too cold for me to super love her, but also that’s a Me Problem. Cold is her aesthetic and she wears it well. Plus she’s got all that trauma.

Can I also just say THE ART OMG

I kinda like the ML

8.5/10 I’m not much for author-gets-trucked-into-their-own-universe plots so I guess I’m biased here. But the ML is wonderful tho.

Plot: author gets isekaied into her own basic shojo fantasy plot, only she had casually made it an angst fest and she now must witness the trauma of her characters. Interesting premise!! Decent execution! Honestly idk how they managed to make child soldiers a point of commentary but SURE! Have at it.

My only gripe is FL is too OP. Means most of the stakes don’t feel threatening and all conflict scenes seem a little bit trivial.

Also Abel is my favorite character. Love a man who holds his daughter and stomps on a dick like a worm on a wet sidewalk. Squish.

8/10 for quality but 10/10 for enjoyment. Summary: daisy lives the abuse timeline, is murdered, goes back in time to before shit really hit the fan, and turns it all around through strategic butterfly effects.

ML is another guy named Killian. Why is every other ML named Killin??

I love FL. She is so competent. And I love their relationship. They communicate pretty well and have a great friendship where they’re bother gloriously in denial of feelings.

I’m not sure where all of FL’s character development came from tbh. She just woke up, shook off 8 years of abuse, and proceeded to girlboss just close enough to the sun to cook her enemies. Like, I love that for her. I also don’t know where it came from? But eh I don’t care really this is a good escapism time.

Also highkey I ship the murder butler and the fashion twink

Solidly 7.5/10. A good time. Would be better if the ML was even slightly desirable. Alas, he is less interesting than a rotting plum, and less delicious too.

FL lives the timeline where her sister marries the monarch, wants to find love, but he has a mistress and the mistress has a bunch of sway over him and she ruins FL’s family and mistress also frames sister for treason and the whole family dies yada yada. FL goes back in time to before sister was going to meet the monarch (I legit can’t remember if he’s king or emperor. I think emperor. Whatever) and FL goes in sisters place bc she has no illusion about this being a loveless marriage and she already knows to watch out for The Mistress. FL is a girl boss. I love watcher her succeed and scheme and succeed. ML is pretty uncompelling, though. He’s not even hot. He’s just some horny boi who wants to keep his dink wet. Honestly I’m just writing this comment to insult the ML. Why won’t the FL just have an affair with her beautiful and loyal lady knight? This is beyond science.
