The FL is annoying, self righteous and insufferable tbh. I couldn't make it beyond chapter 40
Can't wait for Helios to hear his wife and her defunct ass divine powers yelled at the wife of a high ranking and influential noble over a man she rejected so she could social climb her way to being a princess. Also can't wait for Hestia's husband to hear the defective crown princess threw tea on his wife. We are finally about the cinnamon roll confront these backstabbing ex friends of his
Leoni wanting to avoid the child version of her indifferent, awkward 3rd ex husband is completely normal and valid. She doesn't owe him shit, child or not. She doesn't owe a random child affection, help, or friendship. Her helping him during the trial was more than enough tbh. Ya'll absolutely MUST unpack why yall feel like males who beg for attention automatically deserve it. He's a child, so his guardians owe him all the love and attention. Meanwhile, I've seen ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKE toward the uncaring emperor who essentially left him for dead. Leoni doesn't owe the 8th prince a damn thing.
While I love how laid back the lifestyle is once he gets the treason thing resolved, the leads have zero chemistry with each other. I like their comedic element, but they are are platonic roommates at this point and it's a touch dry. The surrounding story is kinda sorta interesting though

Got to 31 and couldn't take it anymore. She's so damn dumb
I fucking love Viola lol. I get so TIRED of the bashful "omg he's too close" scared of touch female leads. Sis was ready to get piped and I stan a FL who isn't irrationally afraid of sex. Ivan is such an adorable cinnamon roll and we stan a guy who doesn't need to be an asshole to be manly. Can't wait to see Kyle and Robina's dumb ass team up lol
So the female lead blurting stuff out and being weird af is for comedic effect? Pass
For all the intelligence the FL is supposed to have (which is mentioned ad nauseum), she seems to be painfully devoid of any common sense. Any instances of her failing to utilize common sense is attributed to her being a scholar. She is a doormat with incredibly poor communication skills and even worse reasoning. This is probably the author struggling with how to incorporate the hyper intelligence they attributed to the FL but the needs for her to be dumb enough to allow easily resolvable conflict to play out around her for the sake of the plot. All this useless chatter she does with the emperor and repeatedly fails to mention the severe disrespect being shown to the imperial family. The ML is even worse. He's essentially a murder puppet with zero communication skills. I bought the chapters legally on tappytoon and regret it tbh. Had to come here to vent
Anybody else think the previous king was cursed and that's why he had his whole family annihilated for his mistress?
Tristan is CLEAR husband material for one reason imo. He immediately sensed the snake ass nature in the current king who I'm certain is pretending to be weak and helpless while happily letting his deranged ass mother be the villain on his behalf. The Queen Dowager did heavy lifting to make him king and relegate the legitimate heir to a cursed puppet. His sis con vibes are so damn obvious that the Queen dowager is trying to make him marry so he stops trying to fuck his sister. I wouldn't be surprised if we find out he was behind the curse so she wouldn't be able to say no once he finally tries to sleep with her.
I read a story that's tagged "strong female lead"
The story does NOT contain a strong female lead. Just a ditzy, weak idiot who didn't even consider that the princess of a beheaded queen would have been targeted for a curse on purpose. Also, literally everyone has informed her that the monastery is a fast track to assassination. She's afraid of assassination. So what does she do? Beg to go to the monastery lol so she can beg a pope who let other royals die on his watch. Didn't even consider escaping to the country where her brother is. Just groveling instead of fighting back. Waiting for a rescuer while refusing all suitable rescuers. A moron truly.
Got to chapter 9 and noped out. It's pretty much a rape fantasy story. If you want action and graphic rape scenes, then this is for you. Glad I didn't pay for this
Yooooo Ginger is a fucking moron lol
Like I was taken aback by how dumb she was
