The premise of the story had potential and the art is great but the execution is trash. It makes no sense.
1. Why on earth was a noble lady out in the forest looking for medicinal herbs all by herself without even one single guard even when forests are known to have monsters in it??? From the looks of it, they probably wouldn't have let her go so she snuck out, which makes her even more stupid. I know she wanted to help her sister, but how can you help others by putting yourself in danger? She's the freaking young lady of the house, even if the servants were against it, she could've just insisted in going and taken a few knights with her. She should have a knight or a guard with her even when going to town, so even more when going the the forest, like WTF. Also, the way she just asked her savior to help her gather herbs just like that with no reservations was rude af (although this might be because of the translation or maybe she's used to being a young lady so she doesn't think much of ordering people around, who knows. It rubbed me the wrong way)
2. Why is the noble lady barging into the room of a guest in the morning when the guest is still sleeping without knocking and asking if she could come in? Rude and intrusive af. Even if it's your house, that's such a poor display of manners.
3. What's the point of having servants when all they did was just guide the guest to the room and nothing else? They as the host's servants didn't prepare anything for the guest except for a room even when it was their lady who invited him to stay over. No offer for a bath, no explanation of the facilities, no sleeping clothes, no towels, no clothes for the next day. They knew he didn't have anything on him except for the clothes on his back.
4. The young lady said she'd never seen clothes like the MC's, which were just a button up shirt, a neck tie, and dress pants. But on chapter 6 when they go to the tailor, the tailor was wearing exactly the same clothes, except with a vest on top. It's ridiculous that she wouldn't recognize the clothes just because of a missing vest.
5. Why are thieves trying to rob a noble lady and her group which includes her butler and 2 knights plus others in broad daylight in the middle of a normal street? Supposedly the thieves justified it by saying they were 6 thieves against 2 knights, but the thieves only had a knife while the knights had swords. Plus, knights are trained. Just WTF is with that logic? Plus, are thieves in that town so brazen that they can just rob a noble while showing their faces? How does that even make sense? They weren't even in a back alley. This is so stupid
I'm so glad he didn't actually start to travel with the elf servant. The moment she said those mean words to him just because he has a bad job even though she cared for him his entire life made me completely dislike her (not that I liked her in the first place). I hope he never forgives her, because that kind of betrayal SHOULD NOT be forgiven
It's quite interesting to see an MC that looks so much like a villain, with that bright red hair and sharp eyes, but still quite pretty. But most of all, I freaking love the 3 children, they are so freaking cute! Especially Raon. Did you notice how at first, even though Raon would follow Cale, he did it from a distance? And then even when Raon started following Cale more closely, he would just fly next to Cale and rarely even touch Cale, but from some time ago Raon started to hang on Cale's shoulder instead of flying next to him and he even hugs Cale a lot. My heart freaking melts every time I see that.
Let me melt it even more. In the novel, around the time they take the whales back to explore the forest of darkness, Raon sits down next to Cale and then the text states that he rests his head on Cale's knee "like it belongs there" And most time when Cale is sitting down and Raon is visible, he will rest his head on his knees!!!
Really cute and all, but the whole trip to the capital bit really irritated me. This manga spent chapters upon chapters showing and explaining how Mil's fox instincts are very strong and that's why even though she has memories of being human and understands human behavior and knew the soldiers wouldn't harm her, she couldn't help being on guard and vigilant against them. Then for whatever reason "she isn't even as vigilant as a normal fox, even though spirits are supposed to have even higher senses than regular foxes" and completely loses her fox instincts and doesn't even notice there's a whole group of soldiers and horses following and observing her from right behind her. Where is the consistency?
Plus, I understand her young body affects her emotionally, so she's more playful and emotionally dependent on people, but since when does that mean she's naive and dumb? She still understands sex because she becomes shy and closes her eyes when there are naked men around and figured out who her father is by listening to the very explicit but equally puzzling conversation for a young child that her mother and the fire spirit had, so it's not like she can't think like an adult or doesn't understand concepts that adults do. But for whatever reason, she thinks an ugly plushy left her jerky and money in her bag, doesn't ask the value of money and price of produce before deciding how much to buy and just hands out all of her money to buy one single type of fruit and follows a really suspicious hooded stranger without questioning it at all. WTF. What's the point of her being reincarnated at all? She's just a child spirit at this point. The previous strongly established premise completely flew out the window with this trip.
This is a no for me. I don't care about his age, but I can't stand his personality. Because of his impulsiveness he causes some trouble and because of that he escapes into the forest to avoid any human interaction because he's scared to cause more trouble. Next thing he does is get involved in a huge conflict without knowing the entire story and ends up killing 2 people only to make a face like crying after the fact even though he knew he was going to kill them. GTFO
Plus, by going to another world he had the opportunity to spot smoking, but actively decides not to.
This is really interesting but the last chapter made no sense. Like the whole plan makes sense except for the proposal. Like why would you propose and get engaged when the beloved Saintess is still missing? Plus you haven't officially broken the engagement with her yet. Feels so inappropriate. Like you don't respect her as someone who was your fiance at all or even as a beloved person of the kingdom
What's the point of translations when they're so bad that I have no fucking idea what's going on anyways? They just keep the webtoon from being picked up by actual decent translation groups. At this point it might just be easier to learn Korean and read the raws than to expect decent translations
