So I’ve always really liked this manga, and I’ve been following it since it was like 10 chapters or something, and I liked the characters. Kurose always got a lot of hate, but I understood him and didn’t expect him to warm up to Mugi and change who he is immediately.

Now, we’re 64 chapters in, and to quote another person’s comment who described what I felt very well - “Kurose’s lines are always unsatisfactory…”

I don’t dislike him, I actually rather like all our characters, but lately it feels like the mangaka is not doing a good job of displaying character growth and helping us as readers connect emotionally with the characters. Their love and affection feels so shallow, I can’t put my finger on it as to why that is. Maybe it’s because the arcs are too short and feel rushed, but I don’t know really.

I’m not seeing any growth in Kurose, and Mugi is growing too much, past independence and into the territory of having no respect for herself. I really hope we start seeing some better treatment for Mugi soon, and for the two to really connect, not just with each other, but with us readers. Somehow, it almost feels as if they lack chemistry together. I think she had more chemistry with the piercing senpai at this point.

Anyway, I’ve always really liked this manga, although it definitely is more of a guilty-pleasure cliché shoujo manga for me, so I don’t want to see it fail to live up to my expectations. It still has potential, so I’m hoping the mangaka will really start giving us the connection and relationship Mugi and Kurose deserve to have.

Literally can’t stop laughing at how dumb he is

I’ve been interested in this series for a few years now, since it first started being released, and had a positive impression of it from the get-go due to it being somewhat unique.

There were always undertones of a feminist message, and an attempt to convey something, however, to put it bluntly, it felt a bit shallow, or half-hearted.

There are many series which make you think it’s going to share with its readers a brilliant feminist story and message, only to end to end up disappointing us. A great example of this is ‘They Say I Became a King’s Daughter’.

That being said, some series do go on to have that special something. I think ‘Kill the Villainess’ is one of those which successfully sends a message, and most importantly, makes us feel something.

‘I Raised Cinderella Preciously’ does the same thing, albeit in a different way. The writing quality has always been consistently good, but the quality of the underlying feminist themes were lacking, but slowly improving over time.

By chapter 119, I can now confidently say that it has truly earned its place amongst the other top tier series. It is beautifully insightful into the minds of women, whilst not straying from its romance fantasy genre, and still being entertaining enough for the modern, everyday casual reader. I find what is most important for stories like this is that it doesn’t shove a feminist agenda down your throat, but is instead woven in very subtly into the story and the characters, which takes time, skill and finesse. Readers must first be invested and connected with the story and characters before they can ever start to comprehend any deeper, more complex sentiments about a character’s life after all. I have to give props to the writer, as it really does take thorough planning, patience and dedication. I felt the need to go pick up and read The Handmaid’s Tale after this, if that says anything haha.

I’m excited to see where it goes from here, and I hope the quality doesn’t drop.

Finally, thank you to the uploader for picking this story up again and sharing it with us.
