She's....not very bright and the plot somehow works out in this life time. Basically, logic is dead.
Based on her upbringing, its expected, but the way the story presents itself, it's seems like she's regressed so many times without ever learning or finding clues until now.
It leaves so many questions and the fact that the world building for the 4 guardian families just emphasizes those questions: after the first few deaths, why did she always think it was an accident? That doesn't make any sense. Why did she not ask her retainers? She's literally in a position of power and literally HAS power to read people's minds. I-
Anyways...subpar.
Hmm, the story is well done and the two main leads are complex rather than flat, which is the bare minimum.
The authors establishment of high society is also well done.
However, if you're going to do this world building of the plot and characters, the resolution (from the spoilers dropped in the comments) is pretty lack luster.
I'd come back to re-read it but more often than not the webtoon will follow the novel. So my rating is a 4/10.
Average story and a good way to past time. There's a plethora of historical webtoons, but that means formulas are the same but slightly tweaked. The only thing that stands out here is how rational Adele is, but given the author's plan for her, it's not worth mentioning.
A truly outstanding story would go against the grain. Considering the lack of romance tag, I had slight expectations but it seems the story won't meet or exceed it.
Tldr: Just good.
To summarize, it's like watching a bunch of kids with too much power go and wreck havoc because the adults are crazy, incompetent, or have been tossed aside by the author.
The FL is written poorly. To promote the "plot" the author forces her to deal with that silver haired saintess valentine or whatever and makes every villain so...so dumb. That in turn, makes the FL idiotic too. The choices she makes are questionable. Her growth is minimal too (we can see why, refer back to sentence 1)
Just mentioning the major things that stand out. Wasted enough of my time. Don't waste yours.
Read this lovely story after putting it off all in one to celebrate for Black Haze' return, my dear beloved (▰˘◡˘▰)
2025 IS FINALLY STARTING TO LOOK UP MY BABIES ARE BACK!
Any recs in the josei genre where the fl is mentally tough, cut throat, and won't take any shit? Basically my independent diva. As for the ml...well as long as he has a pretty face and the dynamic b/w them is good.
Chapters have to be preferably more than 30 ch if it's still ongoing. If it's a short story that's fine. These last two points are preferences not all or none (●'◡'●)ﾉ
PLEASE THERE WAS BARELY ANY ASS CLAPPING WHY MUST YOU DO THIS
Off topic, But Aaron does not play with Yujin's chest enough---It's literally sprawled out for him like bread and butter; wine and cheese; steak and potatoes.
Especially with that MOLE.
Lawd, Aaron not sucking the soul out of Yujin's tits more than 25/8 is beyond me. Smh (¬_¬)
Some of y'all entertaining the thought of jumping your Professors have got me WEAK
I'm just waiting for the day Yujin, without the snarkiness, begs for Aaron's cock like a good boy
I read the spoilers in the previous comments and my qtn is...where is Huimin getting the power to even do that??? Why did they regress, first of all???
Food for thought; maybe that gaudy necklace was something the emperor gave Ludovica when he was courting her. And yknow, since Johannes likes her, seeing Shuri receive that gift made him even more of a crazy sonavabitch.
Maybe that's why Shuri is traumatized seeing the necklace again.
Anyways, Johannes is a fucking dirty and stinky shoe. He thought of Shuri as a rose and "planted" her where he thought best *eyeroll* but in the end, the soil was poison and she was torn apart, figuratively and literally.
Eat shit Johannes
There's plot holes but whatever, I'm just here to see him get dicked down
Why's it already so angst when introducing the relationships between these 3 people
MC throw your feelings away for this man, he ain't worth it
Not good.
Translation is stiff. Plot is meh. And characters always seem to be speaking in exclamation marks.
He's doing what we all wanted these messed up stories to do: COMMUNICATE
Yall better hurry up and solve ur problem again so we can enjoy some spicy make up sex
I'm not one to complain and bemoan of rape in stories especially when given the heads up...but bro...uke literally got assaulted, was seen by his assistant and then went "I feel comfortable around you <3" in the next chapter.
I am in shock. Disbelief. Flabbergasted. What the fuck???
