Unfortunately, this got boring quite fast for me. Without reading the comments or tags, I was not expecting this to have time regression in it. And I probably should have realized it did have regression in it from the title. But I was hoping this would be a true abandoned Saintess story -- where she leaves her empire for another, but because of what she went through she has also hardened herself and heart against getting close to any new love interests. In the meantime, the empire is starting to fail without the representative Saintess.

I had high-hopes for the story's FL -- but every other interaction has her blushing at the ML or thinking about the ML in sexy poses. She can deny all she wants, but we all know who is gonna be end game, and I'm not sticking around for it.

I enjoyed reading this in the beginning, but, to me, it started getting boring. Nothing really interesting or exciting was happening. Even the humor is muted or just outright repetitive. The only saving grace for this story is the little black snake Kanus; although, I do wonder when his family will come looking for him. Perhaps, it'll be explained in later chapters.

Honestly, I was going to drop it, but another comment said the story will pickup soon, so I'm staying my hand and giving it another chance to gain my attention. But for now, I'll bookmark it for later.

This story started out promising, but it soon lost my interest as the FL's quest for vengeance dragged on and got too convoluted. (But I powered through!!) There are two things I can say that I liked about this story: 3-pairs of half-siblings who aren't out to kill each other and the youngest pair actually tries to protect one another from harm real or perceived. The other part of the story I liked was the Commoners revenge on the grandmother; although I wished they would have let her view the empty vault.

Also, honestly, I would have preferred the younger sister's parents to have survived. Living as cast-out nobels who are no better than commoners. They would have to watch their daughter(s) grow up without them.

And how are you going to announce the Celestial Custodians return to the empire with 1.5 CCs?? If they were going to be part of this story -- how about having some of them survive but live in hiding or living in another country waiting to return. Or show the decline of the empire without the CCs living amongst the people of the empire. Otherwise, the author could have made the FL a descendent of witches and it would be the same amount of impact to the storyline, which is nothing at all. Final Score: 2-Stars.

This story had a lot of interesting elements but unfortunately the author couldn't pull them together to make a cohesive storyline. The FL is neither strong nor weak -- she is just there as a catalyst. The circumstances surrounding the MLs were way more interesting, but, unfortunately, they too suffered from plot holes and poorly fleshed out motivations.

Issues:
-- FL was saved by Demios from the Human side of the world. What happened there??
-- So in those 5 years FL never once tried to be intimate with her husband. Not even trying with willpower to hold his hand??
-- ML1 was the child between the former emperor and his lover, so was the Empress really his mate?? Or did he just carry her name on his body??
-- Former emperor knew his son was unfit for ruling from a young age, why not make his nephew CP?? Why wait??
-- Annihilate a whole beastkin fam over black magic just because you're afraid of what MIGHT happen instead of what happened??
-- Antagonist what was your true motivation?? Revenge for family's death?? Why the whole beastkin world instead of just the imperial family??
-- FL never learned anything else about her abilities as saint/star of the empire??
-- All the black magic being tossed around and Sea Priest doesn't even mention it or do anything??

I have other issues, but I don't feel like typing anymore. LOL!! Lastly, I feel sorry for Demios ending. Was he truly the villain?? I don't think he was, yes he did villainous things, but I can't see him as a true villain more like a victim.

This started out very interesting with a found family and a mysterious tribe who dies if no one remembers them. It even had an enemy fake-out as the Boss enemy was unexpected. Unfortunately, when the officials took over, I started to see missing panels and the plot seemed to shift focus and speed up toward a bad ending leaving many holes in the story.

I agree with others who said to stop reading at chapters 85 or 90. Really don't read any further if you can make it that far despite the missing panels, dialogue, information, and events alluded to but never shown. (Issac)

Lastly, this story didn't require a ML, especially not an ML who was essentially the FLs father-figure. FL has two mothers so it's all right for her to have two fathers, too. I wish authors would stop doing that; it's gross and icky!!

This is some crazy Stockholm Syndrome shit right here!! Dropped!!

Kidnapped and raped first life. Deluded into believing y'all were real lovers.
Kidnapped and raped second life. Still delusional about your relationship. There is no need to tame your rapist!! Your only thought should be how to escape.

HEAs should NOT be given to rapists!!

It's been a while since I read this, but wasn't the Emperor supposed to be a master of both the sword and magic?? Defeating assassination attempts since he was a child. A blood-thirsty tyrant of the battlefield. Yet, people keep sneaking up behind him and bashing his head in -- what happened to his sense of awareness??

Was Benjamin a reincarnation of the first Ferdinand?? It would make a lot more sense if it had been the case as I don't see how he too was obsessed with Yvonne/Eve.

Time Skip: Did they change the people's perception about black haired people?? Evidence required.

Empress Ras & Emperor Jevon are my second favorite power couple. Plus, their couple outfits are on point every time!!

Yes!! Finally, Arwin got his Latte back!! (▰˘◡˘▰)

But can we also talk about how Latte was going to throw down in the bar!! This is actually a good lesson: if you know how to fight, and if you're wearing heels kick them off, unless you have superb balance and step...BUT...if you don't know how to fight, still kick your heels off and use them as a weapons to defend and attack. ಠ‿↼

Despite my title, this was an enjoyable read. I blindly picked it up after seeing the title and the thumbnail. And when I said blindly, I meant it. I didn't read any of the comments, reviews, or tags. I just started reading it. And boy was I surprised!!

I was not expecting the graphic sexual scenes at all. Nor was I expecting this manga to be so well-written depicting such harsh truths about love, yourself, and what you value in life. Plus it was really funny in certain moments too. A few times, I had to stop reading because I was laughing too hard -- mostly at Tevon's dialogue.

I will say this: I knew the CP was really in love with the FL but arrogance was his downfall. Just as I knew the FL was deeply in love but her modern society thinking would not allow her to play second fiddle in CP's life after all she had sacrificed.

As for the elves: Those beautiful, horny, lying MFs!! You learned all your techniques from a tree??
