This is the first time I've routed for a couple to die after just getting their happiness. The dad literally neglected his child but was nice asl to his ex-lovers child, and the fl mom working there meant she knew everything going on but still saw that man as nice and wanted to get back with him. Now, I love the whole long lost lovers getting together but not when its built on a child being neglected as the way to bring them together. It honestly left a bad taste in my mouth, and made me drop it right after.
Yeah i was actually relieved when they died bc that whole plotline felt so fucked up like no I dont support y'all continuing an emotional affair and treating everyone not resulting from this woman like trash bc awh lost love.. plus imagine they got married and stuck around then ML and FL got together.. Weird all around
I'm still not over his name being Ex, but I did love how the story was from the male point of view. Which is rare to come by, especially ones that are more wholesome. This was a nice & cute read, nothing over the top or to serious, it just felt like a quick & nice story to read. I did adore how much he loved the fl, and kinda wished more stories were like this. Overall I really enjoyed it, but got annoyed everytime I read his name.
Her brother cross dressing was not what I thought he had planned, but I'm definitely in love with his decision. Plus he looks so beautiful and handsome, imagine being able to pull of both. Its giving troye sivan in one of your girls <3
She's slow, but she's getting there. I'm just mad she's only realizing it b/c she's in love. I love when fl do it b/c they want to better themselves, not for others. Still, they're a cute but frustrating couple.
Nope! Those villagers deserved a proper face to face apology from her. They legit wanted to die & give up when they were in their cells. I always hate how manhwa brush off very quickly serious topic/scenarios like this. Its like they just want the mc to collect good deed so they looks like a hero/good. Its always saving a slave, helping a village or an abused prince, or opening and helping an orphanage.
Yup. Typical white savior attitude. Especially since she already knew about all of this ahead of time. She didn't have to lock them up or give harsh accusations like she did since she already knew about it all AND how to find the evidence.
It reminds me of this other story where these miners went on strike and in exchange for losing their right to strike in the future the mc(?) gave them her “word”. Like strikes are instrumental in making changes to workplace and someone from the modern era (it was an isekai) should know that.
The saving the slaves ones always piss me off to no end because it's always just glazed over like the fix would be super easy.
Sadly its another horrible cliche. Even has the usual scenario of fl almost getting assaulted, gets saved by the ml, only for him to assualt her. And she legit had no reaction to him forcing a kiss. I wanna give it the benefit of the doubt but just these few chapter showed me otherwise.
I really hate how every manhwa handles evil/abused children. Like rn the king could of handled the girl better instead of just having her sent away. Its not her fault that his brother & her mom feed her mind with delusions, shes just a product of her environment. So I wish at least one manga took the issue seriously instead of just using it for the good ole cliche plot. I even read one story where the dad tells his daughter to bully his illegitimate daughter, but soon him & his sons start to bond/love the illegitimate daughter. So he punishes his daughter for the bullying ,that he literally told her to do, by killing her trusted servant and secluded her far away. I understand they are evil and have done stuff, but to not give them any sort of a chance to change is wild to me. Though some are truly evil, majority are just a result of their bad environment.
The ml not yelling at his uncle, not even a little pissed me off. He literally needs you even if you're powerless, so you can set terms & conditions. This story really seems like just fast pacing with no one actually thinking for a second or at the bigger picture.
Personally I loce this manga, it's like soap opera bad, and unfortunately I was a victim to them as I child. And I feel the dads reaction at the end is like what you see in novelas.
What chapter was his reaction?
The end of the recently uploaded chapter, when he realizes he sent his real daughter to the hearsay interrogation. It felt very over the top and the close up shot felt like what they show in soap operas/telenovellas. They always do a close of their shocked face with suspenseful music in the background.
Never in my life have a I seen a more annoying, dumb, and cliche cast of characters ever. I legit only like Julian & the mom, and even then the story is still badly executed.
