oh my goodness. poor original astrid i canāt believe she actually sacrificed herself when she barely even knew what was going on..and the fact she disappeared and no one noticed my girl
this is such a non issue and i know this is literally a magical fantasy setting but i hate how short her skirts are they look tacky imo
stone me i guess but i really donāt give a shit about mariartyās revenge or her love story with alfie. maybe itās because her backstory was half a chapter but i just didnāt connect with it, didnāt care and then the sudden romance between alfie and her. this manhwa is written really well but i just canāt get over the sudden romance between her and alfie. i get it, most of it was obscured so it could be revealed into one big mystery but because of that plot point, it doesnāt feel very genuine. it was like āoh and just so you guys know! theyāre in love!ā i wouldāve been more interested if she was actually a cold hearted killer but no of course she had to love alfie and thatās why she hesitated. if she had just killed the mc by slicing her throat, i wouldāve gave her her tens but of course she was in love and hesitated.
perhaps if this was written from mariartyās pov, i wouldāve cared more. i also donāt care that she wanted revenge on duke adler when it was HER countryās leader that said to protect the mana stone research shit and not their citizens. personally, i feel like it doesnāt make sense? like sure youāre mad at the enemy? but your leader literally sent your sister to her death by pulling troops out from protecting the citizens. so why are you not mad at him? seems a bit hypocritical. iām not defending the previous duke but itās like, homie your leader didnāt give a shit about you or your sister and thatās why the girl is dead lmao.
i do think a missed opportunity was writing out alfieās character more. we didnāt really know him so i genuinely did not give a shit when he was revealed to be a cortina spy. maybe if we actually got to see more scenes with him, the betrayal wouldāve hit harder but it was just one of those moments where i was like āoh shit? heās a spy too?ā ugh the story has been written really well but for some reason, this climax felt a little anticlimax. itās still a good story but i hated the way ch 65-66 were written.
wait the lust cookies actually looked really good. now iām hungry
sera looks extra bad this episode like bro sheās so bad i fucking love a hot bitch who will stand her ground
i will absolutely be the person who takes everything seriously. the one thing i hate the most about childcaring manhwas (this one included) is the fact that the ādadā is NEVER the biological father. now iām not talking about the daddy-daughter manhwas where the mother has died. iām talking about the very specific niche where the female lead is taking care of the child of the male lead. iāve noticed that 9 times out of 10, the ml is never the real dad. itās either a distant relative, a niece or nephew, or even a fucking orphan.
and i hate this narrative that a lot of authors love to paint and overuseāa virgin male lead. the deliberate distancing of any romantic or sexual experience feels a lot like purity culture. and i understand the appeal: āheās never loved anyone BUT the fl.ā but this is a childcaring manhwa? so why is he not a biological dad? like you want the hot dad baggage but not the actual dad part?
heās a virgin. heās never loved another woman. he hates other women oh but HER. the female lead is the ONLY one who can change him. yikes. this narrative flattens the character of the male lead SO much. like dude, heās a fucking adult. YES he should have an ex. YES he should have been in love before. YES he should have had sex. especially if heās like in his 20-30s. like what do you mean this grown ass man has NEVER touched a woman or even talked to another woman?
it makes me sick. it cheapens the romance and it doesnāt even feel like a true āheās a dadā story. obviously, iām not discrediting that adoptive dads arenāt real dads but if itās EVERY manhwa? like single dads exist!!
it also feels a little misogynistic like oh no woman was important enough or special enough to ever wow him. i believe that authors and readers tend to insert themselves into the flās perspective and feel like theyāre special because a man so successful has never looked at another woman but HER. and honestly, this is a very shitty take at romance. love is not always gonna be āhe never loved anyone but herā itās so boring like i LOVE a story where thereās an ex, it shows that the ml HAS some complexity to his character besides being the virgin ml.
honestly i could go on and on about this. the manhwa is cute ofc but i rolled my eyes after realizing heās not the actual dad.
if priest noel wasnāt already religious, i wouldāve shown him heaven really does exist
not to be the bitch whoās always taking things serious and ruining the fun, but i saw this one story of this girl giving her bf head while he was driving, they got hit and her jaw locked in place because she died on impact. because she was dead and her jaw was locked, she bit his dick and he started bleeding and when the paramedics arrived, he was losing blood from his crotch. and ever since i saw that story, everytime i read a scene about giving head while driving, i cant even enjoy it cus this is in the back of my mind
i shouldnāt have expected much from a smut anyways but the ending was still disappointing. story is 4/10. get ready for a yap session, otherwise scroll.
first off, the smut wasnāt even that good. it was mediocre at best. i do like the dynamic and thatās the only reason i look at it in a positive light. otherwise the explicit scenes were absolute shit.
charlotte is a little deranged and sheās ugly. hated those fuck ass bangs but when it comes to femdom stories, iād eat dog shit if it was served to me. iām so desperate for a good femdom story and this one unfortunately disappointed me as well.
obviously this story was never meant to be taken seriously but as a reader, iāll still critique it. i still donāt understand how tf dale fell in love. i guess homie is just a master masochist. heād fall in love with a dildo if it fucked his ass hard enough. i donāt know how charlotte fell in love either. i guess if her dog turned into a human, she wouldāve fucked it too.
i canāt help but mourn what couldāve been a good femdom like if they wanted to go the romance route, it wouldāve been so nice to see the development from dale fulfilling his duty to his conflict with falling in love with charlotte. it kinda just felt like someone turned off the lights and when they turned back on, suddenly both dale and charlotte were in love. also not to mention the shit ass ending with the marriage done in like two panels and then the random time skip such a waste
i wouldnāt even recommend this to someone who wants to read it for the smut. skip
adrian mogs them both. the mc and the ml are ugly and basic as fuck
straight omegaverse? both the mls in a originally bl novel are obsessed with her? double homicide
i will say i was confused and did not realize that larriette and liliette were different ppl LMAO even the names are similar
i mourn the father-son relationship they had in the other timeline
i support the princess getting her villain origin story from chris. sheās so sweet and innocent, she doesnāt deserve to be played by a fucker who canāt even admit his own feelings and instead obsesses and mentally torments the girl he likes.
the rotting, wrinkly, decaying fucker better die soon
