I'm trying really hard to trust the author
This ML hasn't scored lots of brownie points with us so far
Yeah him allowing the emperor to use her in his political war with the other dukedom really erased any favor I had for him… This flashback isn’t helping him either… (〜￣△￣)〜
Damn I forgot how hilarious this was and how fun the action scenes were
Welp
Time to reread it all ╮(￣▽￣)╭
We get one chapter of Ines being all happy and smushy for Carcel and then in the next one she's taken over with rage again
Man...
We can't catch a break
I LOVE that she's finally learning how to do it properly and that she's aware the way they've tried things so far haven't been the safest
Courtney's personality hits just right for me
A mix of natural confidence and maturity, but also insecurity and in a way innocence of someone who's learning and seeing bdsm for the first time ever
And I said it, but I'll say it again: Richard is surprisingly mature when it comes to Courtney
He's like the opposite of the standard male lead lol
Usually they are extremely competent at being crown princes/dukes/etc but somewhat inept at relationships and romance
Richard here hates being crown prince and has to be constantly strong armed into the role, but apparently he excels in being a great husband, lover and bdsm partner
I'd say geonwoo is too vanilla
But to be honest his crazy stamina (and the monster between his legs) make even his vanillaness hardcore
One session with that monster we're gonna need a wheelchair
I'd never expect doomed straight romance in a bl story
I get it
But I still think he should've told her
At least leave a note, send a letter or something
It really wasn't necessary for her to go through her whole life wondering what the fuck happened to him
I kinda wish in the next chapters they discover she somehow knew someone was wrong with him that made him leave
I think his memories loss effect the way he thinks.
My grandpa had Alzheimer and by the way it showed and how sensitive she must have been, she knew something was up.
Yeah, that's what I thought as well
When you live with loved ones, it's very haed not to realize something is up with them
Especially something as crucial as memory loss
I love how emotional intelligent this whole thing is
What she's feeling is completely normal, she decided to fully embrace how in love she is while accepting it may not work
But even if you make a conscious, logical decision, your emotions can't be controlled
The yearning is so real
Yeaaaah
A good ML will make the readers fall for him before the FL
At this point, he's still a meh character
Zero introductions given, no context whatsoever, feels like a weird way to introduce such an important character
But to be honest?
I kinda like it
Not the ML, but how the story is going, feels very different from the usual "look at this handsome dude, he's from an old family, loaded as fuck, smart, strong, etc, but oh no he's got a terrible reputation"
This is actually intriguing
If author is capable of writing wonderful women so far, I hope this means that this man has the potential to be a top notch ultimate ML
I can't explain it, but this sates something in me
The storytelling is impeccable, the plot is not groundbreaking, there have been stories of isekai from the perspective of a villainess before
But I've never seen one done so well like this
I often see people complaining that the protagonist isn't really a villainess, she's just a good girl that was targeted and bullied
And it's true, Lydia is the first true villainess I've seen getting isekaied and choosing a different path
God I love so much how her character was built
She's the type of character that people would comment death threats to, and SHE is the one who got a second chance
How fucking balsy is this author? Lol
And ironically, Lyrica would get so mad at all of you for hating on her mother mindlessly
Sure, these are fictional characters and we don't owe them anything, but isn't it incredible how these characters are so full of life and so fleshed out that I can totally see Lyrica berating the haters and then quietly confiding in Atil or the Bharat boy how she can't and doesn't want to understand people hating on her mother?
I bet one of the most emotional moments is definitely gonna be the moment Lyrica learns about her mother's resurrection
Goddamn I can't stop being awed at Lydia's sheer existence
So poetic that a person who learned that familial love only hurts, that you can't trust anybody in the world and that vulnerability is just weakness, could bring Lyrica to the world and be the focus of a love so great that she got a second chance at LIFE
Ughhhh I love it
It's such a bold narrative choice
If I see the physical copies of this anywhere, I'm definitely buying them
This story is too tragically poetic for me not to love it
A broken and neglected person neglected and harmed others. She just didn’t understand her actions
