kyumi234's Favorite

I don't know what to say. this was awesome, I guess. I liked a lot of things about it. It amazes me how this manga was able to tackle relevant issues in just a few pages. Every page was filled with depth. My favorite was definitely how the male mc immediately cut the girl off, when she was starting to compare their lives, how she thought the boy had it so much harder than her. Because he's right, they both suffered. You can't ever quantify someones suffering especially if you weren't in their position. I also liked the hopeful ending. The boy might have been dealt with a "miss" in this life, but with the girl there, with a friend like that, the rest of his life might not be a "miss" after all.

Fucking finaly!!!

I don't understand these protagonists who think themselve to be smart. They want to avoid their death flags? So you think all you can do is avoid the main leads? By divorcing? By running away? Why do they always think that these characters who they believe to just be a character from the book or game they know will behave according to the script?
It just frustrate me because they all want a "normal life" or "live a peaceful life far a way from the main leads" or "let the main lead marry the heroin because the script says so" without even consider the other characters feelings.

I can understand the protagonist's thoughts. She thinks that there is no way that she can stop the plot or that unless she disappears the plot will continue tormenting her. But has she ever consider that she isn't the same person as in the books or games? She is a different person. She behaves differently as the book or game intended her to do.

I don't really care what she wants to do with her life but don't try to excuse yourself by saying "I can't do anything because plot", "He is happier that way. Without me, he and the heroin can be happy together" or "Go away, I just want to live an ordinary life. I don't want to die" etc.
I have seen these over and over again and it's getting very frustrating. I can just not read these kind of stories and I try to avoid them but I like stories about transmigrating protagonists. So I can't just not try reading one then I see one.

Is it more interesting when the protagonist tries to not act according to the plot? Yes is it. Is it even better when the protagonist is just living her life the way she wants without caring about whether she is getting close to the main leads or not and without caring about the plot? Yes, absolutely.

Who cares about the plot. The only advantage is knowing the future (which is not absolute and can differ from the protagonists memories) but that's all. So what? the future is not set in stone. It can change.

So fucking stop trying to be selfless and wanting the best for others while not even trying the best for oneself. Just be selfish (the kind of selfishness where you are not purposely causing harm to others) and see the characters as people and live your life instead of being narrow-minded and thinking the world as a book or game.

Puhhh. Sorry for the rant. I am very happy Canaria realized it too and is living for herself.

When u realize most ish of transmigrated girls have blonde hair. Like i want purple galaxy hairs too idem seaweed green

The name is also not far off yes I know its a translated name but jenny and jeanie wow
But the way she died is really scary tho.
In a lonely dark tunnel（ΟΔΟ；；）

1.) The maids who are freaking scared of a child who has done nothing at all to them freaking makes me angry it was the maid's fault that she spilled the drink on Claudia's but then she gets all scared and quits cause of her stupid misconception.

2.) The freaking mom. Wow. Just wow. You are so scared of your newborn daughter just because she's different and is blessed by the dark spirit king. She was just born and the mom freaking judged HER DAUGHTER to be evil. So sad that Claudia is so happy cause her mom looked at her once...she deserves so much more no words can describe my disdain for the mom

3.) The flip-side of the same coin: the freaking dad. Slightly better than mom in actually communicating with daughter but still a freaking douche. He laments over the fact that Claudia calls him "Duke" instead of "Father"....I totally wonder why she does that? Is it cause you walk on pin-cushions around her and view her as a world-destroyer? Is it cause you're scared of her and what she "could" do? Yeah. No freaking duh that she doesn't call you anything other than "Duke."

This is a really good plot, but I just need to rant and say how much I hate when people mistreat others based on differences and misconceptions. Uuuuurgh. Just makes me so mad and sad at the same time. People have feelings no matter how different they are and people just need to

FREAKING.
ACCEPT.
IT.

End of rant Sorry if you read all of that, but that's how I feel and, if you don't like it, don't really know why your still reading this

Happier note Claudia is so cute I loved how she's portrayed and it's shitty what happened in her past life and how she's treated in her reincarnated one as the story progresses, I hope she finds all the happiness she deserves

After reading Doctor Elise and then this drivel, I was greatly disappointed.
Dr. Elise is an slightly OP protagonist but only when it comes to medicene. She's rubbish at the rest of life. And her skills have a reason. It took her multiple lifetimes, but all of her achievements are her own. Her character development is well fleshed out and isn't driven solely by the Male Lead and the potential romance between them. Many of the side characters are also well developed with their own desires and motivations. The world building is good as is the plot flow and dynamics. It really is a stand alone piece. The only thing that could make it better is a few more plot points not involving the ML at all. Maybe with her family or other females. To better show that her world is filled with more relationships, important relationships, that aren't romance driven. A bit more pathos in general wouldn't be bad actually. Show us her failures as well as her sucess.
Anyways...
This one is.... terrible in comparison. Absolute drivel. Utterly forgetable, cliche, and quite boring.
OP, Mary Sue, Saint of a protagonist whose only sin was being born to the wrong family is magically given instant master level skill in any pursuit she desires all in order to help poor, less talented, folks who actually worked for their skills and in doing so inadvertedly heal and capture the OP Male lead's heart.

(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
She has all the personality of a stick. The random masters she helps are more interesting than either her or the ML. Her world consists of a vague war and her miniature garden like workplace, the palace, with no hint of anything beyond.
Now before I go ranting on on that point, there has only been 8 chapters so far. Maybe more world building will occur (must occur). But if in those same 8 chapters she can become a super maid, master sculptor, and master composer all while already driving the ML crazy with her mysterious nature, there bloody well could have been some better foreshadowing and world building. So far all we've got is the ML saying if he ever catches that Princess, its marriage to him or death for her. That scene. That one scene giving us some background on the war and foreshadowing that she eventually will get caught and she will be forced into marriage.
And the reason for the war? Her family were tyrants or some vaguely bad people or something. But not her. She's the saint of her people. Cause a princess with no power or authority locked in a back room somewhere with no life skills somehow is able to set up an underground charity ring without being caught by tyrant parents. I don't know. The details are stupidly vague. The whole scene is just to establish that the prince isn't totally blood thirsty and she is at least useful as a political tool.
Ugh.
Anyways, the main point in all this is I was super disapointed when comparing the two. To the point where I suspected they were written by different people...
And guess what guys...
THEY ARE.
Or at least the author portion is different between the two suggesting different authors, but maybe same illustrator?

I hate senseless men/women with mistresses.such lowlifes

Normally I don't hate MLs in fantasy/isekai stories even if they're dicks in the beginning but this guy is incredibly bland. Maybe it's because he doesn't have enough scenes? I don't care what happens to him tbh. I'd just shrug if he gets executed.

I just hope tia and the prince would end up together.....

The reason (in my opinion) why the prince mistreated tia in the past is that The prince is jealous of tia and the jealousy slowly turns into hatred or something. the people around the prince or the castle or even the noble thinks that TIA is Better than the PRINCE. They keep comparing the two.

At first, i shipped the cabbage man (allen) and tia, but as the story goes allen gives me this kind of yandare vibe.

God does nobody know about the butterfly effect? It's exactly because Aristia changed herself and her destiny that everybody and everything changed. The events and their timeline, as well as the characters and their personalities all changed. We should judge the prince in this timeline now and he is good so far. The ultimate test for his character development will be when Jieun appears and how he will act then. And also since Aristia changed why can't the prince change too? Even Allendis and Carsein changed and developed at even earlier age because of Aristia. So all of you shouldn't hate but let the story go and judge his character at the end OR when he really does something bad in this timeline

I can understand why people wouldn't ship Aristia and the prince and I agree to some extent. Aristia directly suffered and was abused by him in the first life so the trauma she has in this life is more then enough reason to not be with him. The only way I could see them together is if Aristia gets over her trauma and starts loving him in this timeline, and also if he proves himself that he won't change when Jieun shows up again.

As for Allendis he was cute to me in the beginning and I shipped them but when I saw how obsessed he was I was done with that ship lol. Also the fact that he wanted to turn against Aristias dad because he didn't allow contact was a little to much. All in all I think he has issues and is not for Aristia that deserves a normal relationship full of love.

Carsein is my ship and I think he is ideal for Aristia cause he doesn't think she is weak and sees her as an equal. Also she can laugh and be relaxed around him the most. And it's a big plus that they are sooo cute(▰˘◡˘▰)

Ok, incoming rant here about the "spoiler” listed in the comments about why the prince is/ was an asshole in the webtoon vs the novel.

If it’s due to a hate poison... If that’s truly the webtoon’s edited excuse for Prince Ruve, BRUH, I GOT FIFTY TONS OF BEEF.

If the webtoon artist believed that explanation was going to go over better than the author’s side story from Ruve’s point of view, she is sorely mistaken. That reeks of forced contrivance and railroading the narrative to do something that is illogical. If the author or artist wanted Ruve to be sympathetic.. Maybe not have a forced sexual encounter with substantial coercion, a lost child, her father’s execution being revealed after getting her to beg for his life, and the MC’s gruesome death at Ruve’s hands.

Moreover, if this is indeed a webtoon spoiler that Ruve was under the spell of some hatred poison against Tia at Jieun’s hands that’s nonsense. In the previous timeline he was cruel to her when they were children prior to Jieun’s arrival.

Honestly, one of the greatest lessons a story teller can learn is to listen to your characters and trust who they become/ are as you draft the story rather than forcing them into your initial concept like square pegs into round holes.

If Tia’s gift from god is the power to forge her own fate, receive the name of pioneer -- have her do something truly revolutionary. Railroading her into this plot line of “but the prince wasn’t so bad!” defeats the impetus to Tia’s entire character growth and motivation, not to mention her source of mentally debilitating PTSD. She exists as she is now because of that experience regardless of the reason or face of the person doing the trauma.

Having Jieun give Ruve a hate poison just serves to offset fan hate onto a character who is more interesting when she’s selfish, ignorant and.. humanly petty. Making her either a conniving villainess or an unwitting participant/ victim like the prince must now be post-hate poison undercuts the heartbreaking banality of evil present in the story by those who put their own comfort/ greed/ power/ pride/ ego first.

The story is at its strongest when it’s about what these characters *choose* to be, influencing who they become or what they do. Mind control/ hate poisons are the types of excuses you’d expect from 1990s Sailor Moon when Darien gets amnesia for the 99th time that season and suddenly hates Usagi now for d R a M a. It was stupid then, it’s dumber now. Evil committed by people in full knowledge or, hell, misinformed self-righteousness is far more interesting than a dues ex machina hate poison. It’s so stupid a path to take I can’t fathom anyone in their right mind using it as an excuse outside of bargain basket fantasy harlequin novels that were secretly plagiarized by someone’s middle school fanfiction on FF.net written in the mid 2000s.

So if this spoiler is true, we’re left with the only possible conclusion that can be made with this work: the author wanted the abuse and trauma Tia suffered for shock value drama and nothing more. It was the packet of flavor in her ramen bowl of plot. She had no interest in making the prince culpable for his actions because she liked the UwU *spice* making Tia and her former abuser love each other "added" to the story.

TL:DR; I’m too old for this shit. Maybe Truck-kun will isekai me into another world where I can slap shittily implemented cliches from the minds of writers and in turn wash me clean of the perpetual saltiness of life experience.

After reading the comment section i was expecting an absolute bitch ruler but she isn't even that bad? I mean yeah she's lazy and has concubines (which mind you a lot of other manhua emperors have) but she can have great character development

Idk why ya'll want absolute perfect, badass female leads if everyone was alike it would get boring.

Man, I feel for everyone here. Dani has such a realistic existential crisis in regards to this world that I can really feel for her and can understand why she has such a hard time developing her relationships with the people in the "fictional" world. And of course, I feel for the "fictional" people who are struggling to stabilize their relationship with her but don't know what's going on.

It's such an absurd situation that it'd be difficult to explain and expect people to believe her (I mean, imagine someone I consider kind of a friend seriously telling me I'm not real and neither is my entire world. I would think they were crazy or joking before I even entertain the thought that they were telling me the truth).

Man the people I want to be together never end up together.

Whenever I read this I get really mad I don’t know y I end up go back to it
The heroine always blaming herself when she never at fault
The dude betrayed her then also act like a victim I don’t know don’t play with a pure maiden heart
Dude ‘s friend comes in and act like he knows everything when the heroine already in much pain
I hate that she has to apologize for things when things happen really was out of her control

Seriously! I've fall with this comic! , the MC are too different with other romance comic! It's give me a good vibes LOL

For some reason i like this one the most probably cuz the other stories had the same plot got into a car crash got reborn but into the Palace things like that evil person wants to destroy her etc etc...
Those stories i did find them intresting but as soon more stories like that with the same plot is just ugh
..

pretty good, but I find that the way that he fell for her was kind of just thrown in there, but that's okay. I also felt that there wasn't that much substance to the story. Like it was long but also short at the same time if that makes sense? Like they didn't really dive that deep into the setting and didn't make it that real or intense in my opinion. It was more like very surface level which is fine too, it was just something that I didn't expect. Kind of like how they have to deal with their jobs and duties as well as inner conflicts. I think it would have been good if they learned more about the politics of things in the palace and stuff but this was a good read. Currently on ch 86. But yeah somethings about this just wasn't wow or my favorite but its a good read. Also they're cute together ><

So, I have some major qualms about this Shoujo. Where do I even begin?

This Shoujo is absolutely terrible, I cannot understand for the life of me why this is garnering such praise, and a score of 9.3/10. The characters are flat and one-dimensional, there’s no textual integrity, world-building is shoddy and the plot is too complex and hard to follow.

To begin with, none of the character’s actions make any sense. Areum finds herself in an alternate realm and somehow adjusts almost instantaneously? If someone from the 21st century were transported into what appears to be the Victorian Era, I think they’d be more than a little shocked. As the story progresses, it almost seems to forget this plot point and is rendered completely insignificant. What was even the point of the entire ‘reincarnation’ aspect if it isn’t referenced or explored further?

Some parts of the story detail her inner monologue and thoughts, however this is not effectively utilised. This could provide real opportunities to further develop her character, reveal her motivations and her feelings. Following the first few chapters, she rarely, if at all, thinks about that fact that she is somehow in an alternate universe. She doesn't question how exactly she ended up there, or how any of this is possible. She never thinks about her life on Earth, her family or friends etc. Her entire character seems to revolve around her interactions with the Duke.

She is trafficked and sold into the slave trade, facing verbal abuse from society for her appearance and doesn’t seem the least bit bothered by it. She harbours no resentment towards the people who trafficked her, the Duke who bought her and treated her terribly at first or the background characters that attack her. The effects of such a seemingly traumatic experience is hardly referenced further.

Which leads me to my next point. The motivations of background characters attacking her makes no sense. Throughout the shoujo, the fact that he is supposedly a cruel and ruthless man is repeated. So why would his workers attack someone he clearly values, if he has no problem killing them?

The character of Travis/Duke Millard/whatever is also wildly inconsistent. Other background characters continually reinforce his apathetic and cruel demeanour, however the story portrays him as essentially falling in love with the lead upon first glance. He is cold and stoic in all interactions with other people, but as soon as he talks to Areum he blushes and becomes flustered like a schoolgirl? It simply doesn't make sense at all. If he truly is hundreds of years old, a vampire etc., a pretty face isn’t going to do much for him. Nor is someone as flat and uninteresting as Areum is. Whilst I understand she resembles a vampire in whatever universe this is, her character as a whole is not unique or different than any of his other workers. The audience cannot understand WHY the Duke has taken such a liking to her, because the Shoujo makes no attempt to develop either of the leading characters.

The plot is also a major problem I have with this shoujo. The plot is simply too complex and too disjointed that I honestly don't even know where this is going. From what I remember (and I'm not going to go back and reread this garbage), a curse is placed on him, so that he dies if he falls in love with someone? And many people are invested in his death and so plot to make him fall in love? Wouldn't that make him apprehensive of everyone he meets, and wouldn't he be suspicious of Areum?

Following along this plot thread, the Duke is definitely aware of this curse. He knows that falling in love will kill him. So why hasn't he killed her, as soon as he felt himself have the smallest bit of affection towards her? Objectively considering this, he doesn't act like a duke. As this is an alternate universe, I am assuming that societal values are very against classes acquainting with one another and is very frowned upon. So why does he concern himself with Areum when he doesn't care about anyone else belonging to her class?

Their romance plot thread is too sudden. The story doesn’t show their love, but rather shows Areum spouting some sappy shit and him blushing, which again makes no sense when you consider his characterisation. I simply couldn’t empathise with any of the characters because I don’t care about them. At this point, I couldn’t care whether either of them suddenly dies or what because this story is utter garbage.

The only redeeming aspect of this shoujo I can think of is the art style. I, however, cannot think of the reason for the artistic choice to make Areum's eyes so large in comparison to all other characters. It's a personal opinion, but I think it's strange.

To conclude, I am shocked by the amount of praise this has received. Anyone that has read a decent shoujo can clearly see how terribly written this is in terms of the characters and the plot. Characters are bland, the plot is too complex and disjointed and the story does not leave me with a burning desire to find out what happens next. I don’t care about any of the characters, in fact I hate the majority of them. Their actions don't make sense. Either way, I'm already too invested in this and will finish it to see if the shoujo somehow miraculously improves.
