Really good for several reasons! The main character has wits and manage to get herself out of several tough situation, she goes ahead and take actions to help her friend get out of the future that awaits her. I honestly really enjoyed the relationship between her and the ML, it was a lot of bickering, of playing game and trying to get the upper hand, only to reveal how much they cared about each other. The ML’s struggles which explains his actions are pretty sad. It’s a shame it was short- I guess it makes it appealing in some way as well, the fact that it doesn’t take that much time to end. But it could’ve been a bit longer on a few aspects (like how the ultimate trial was brought up for example). I guess we could say some characters do disappear a bit (like her friend’s dad) but overall it was a very enjoyable read, that I could see myself come back to!
This story was nice and the drawings are frankly beautiful! But I will say that I think there’s a lot of drama, maybe too much drama for the length of it. Which means that it felt like the story should have spent more time on some aspects - like Carlyle’s twin brother is evoked a bit abruptly and then settled a bit abruptly as well, and it’s just such a sad and horrible thing that it should occupy a bigger part. It’s a bit the same feeling with other aspects of the story. Overall it was still a nice and sweet read, but it’s not my favorite. The drawings do raise its rating a bit.
I guess I’m happy to have read it as it was overall working pretty well and it wasn’t this hard to read (as it’s relatively short) but I don’t think it’s the kind of story that I’ll come back to reread.
I really adored this story for many things. It’s very satisfying to be honest. The way Jaina goes through every plan and every time successfully destroys Angela is really really enjoyable to read. You could think it gets boring when it’s this long, but not at all. It’s actually really good. I like this story because Jaina is strong and powerful, she has wits and she manages to make use of her future really well. On the other hand, I also enjoy the way she doesn’t return to her former fiance. He’s very pitiful for sure but I like it. Too many times in those stories the girl go back to her fiancé as if nothing happened, even if he killed her. It’s refreshing to see how she actually kept trauma from it and how it stops her from liking him again, from making everything go back to once it was. I was hoping so badly for Dane and Jaina to end up together and was happy when it happened. The relationship between Jaina and her dad is also very sweet. So this story has a lot of positive aspects really and I will come back to reread it. I didn’t want to finish it truly!
This story is pretty simple and without any headache or even deep thoughts that need to be put into it. Quite simply, it’s a love story. But it also shows how a story that doesn’t really count any obstacles can get a bit boring. Without any antagonists, you just get the two main characters that love each other, and get together, and then he comes back from war and then they get married… but it’s pretty plain. I honestly liked the drawings, but I think I maybe liked them better with the young version of themselves. The adult ones were sometimes a bit … ehh in terms of proportions maybe?
I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with how it unfolded. With 50 chapters I knew the plot wouldn’t be too deep, but the start was fun in some ways. Her friendship with the other girl and then the prince, their bond, it made it interesting and good to read, but the moment where she gets with the ML, things slow down and become less hooking.
Overall, it’s not bad but I probably wouldn’t find myself rereading it.
I’m sorry but the haircut was so sudden that I literally thought it wasn’t the right guy asking her for a dance and that the ML would appear and swoop her away… like he looks nice with short hair but I preferred him with long ones? And really… should have warned more
This story has a lot of potential. I like the drawings and I feel like the plot isn’t too bad, but the translation isn’t good and confusing. Also I kinda don’t understand why suddenly the prince and the rival fall in love with her. It just seems too convenient to install a love triangle. Overall I guess I’ll give it a 3/5 for the potential but it’s a shame that it’s a bit wasted by other defaults!
Obsidian going back to where she was before the show but she definitely got more confident, I thought it was great that she tried to save that girl and then to face her ex husband (a piece of crap). Moon owl finding her and helping her to gain the confidence she was missing to get rid of her ex, was amazing as well! What a nice turn, I can’t wait for the next chapter as he will tell her more about himself, so maybe she’ll finally know he was the boy in the library??
Also Marianne appearing in a really badass way, surprising but also good twist! Just hoping she’s gonna be a great character
I’m gonna add this as a supposition but maybe there’s no real antagonist in there, they’re just wary of each other because they think the other may be plotting something. But given we still don’t have the reasons for Marianne’s disappearance in the first place (that maybe we’ll get soon), it also could be that it has nothing to do with at least Moon Owl and Alexandrite. I was just thinking as Alexandrite has been quite “kind” to Obsidian, at least in terms of helping her to get out + giving her stuff + telling her the truth about how it was not him and he’s older. Some of his previous actions seemed sus to me, but he had no reason to confirm he was not that boy if he wanted to keep her “in his pocket”, also in the same fashion Marianne had no reason to come back in the jewel box and to save him if he was the danger, so I’m just emitting the theory that whatever made Marianne disappear didn’t have to do with him and Moon Owl…
Honestly everyone has their different tastes and is free to like and dislike stories, but if you did not like this story, nothing keeps you from just stepping out. Insulting other readers and judging them for liking a story is not the flex that you think. It costs nothing to be respectful of other people’s tastes, I didn’t think it needed to be said but apparently it’s a useful reminder for some people…
negative opinions/criticism is very helpful in getting a more well rounded view on any form of media.
if i think you have shit taste, why should that bother you?
The summary didn’t appeal much to me but the story is good. I find the way everything is depicted with a sense of reality fantastic, the story gets cruel sometimes and it just seems terrible. There’s no embellishment of what’s happening.
It has a lot of strong characters that are conflicting and not always morally correct, everyone has different goal and objectives but it doesn’t mean that they’re evil in themselves, they’re just doing everything to survive. I found myself disliking the King and liking him sometimes for example - and it’s a good thing to say. You’re involved in the story, and it’s not black or white, just like it is irl.
The FL has a pretty strong character, she’s put in a rough situation right from the start, a situation where she’s uncomfortable and that she fights a bit, but she finds ways to succeed and to be smart about it. The romance with the ML isn’t overwhelmingly present but it didn’t disturb me, because I found the story captivating enough. Some speeches left me strong impressions, such as the one the Queen said to the King after she met him again about forgetfulness. It was so bittersweet but also tragic, in a beautiful way - everyone had advised against it and they got together, and she ended up regretting it. It’s all there is to the story, tragedy and drama, in a way that is very enjoyable, to me at the very least.
At chapter 42 and wow this is a dumpster fire. Like what do you mean- I can’t even wrap my head around everything that is happening. Their relationship is so rushed and unhealthy, and the fact he got pregnant and kept it doesn’t make things any better. I honestly HATED his nonchalant attitude about the pregnancy and all, but also it’s not all of his fault, he’s twenty?! And he got a traumatic past, then got the wrong gender, then got shit. It doesn’t help that he isn’t very smart. And don’t get me started on the alpha, forcing himself on him, taking no for a yes, and making him keep the baby in the first place. So far this story has made me want to reread others with healthier dynamics and just better couples. I hope it gets better but at the moment my expectations are low, what is even happening in this??
