Only at chapter 75, but idk the drama feels forced asf or it's just going over my head. Still, the plot moved in the first 15 chapters than the next 70 chapters (like they just kept fcking instead of addressing their issues). like the reason as to why taesoo was half-assed to chunwoo, and chunwoo half-assed to hoin was kinda dumb to me, or like can someone explain it to me bc why tf are they doing mental gymnastics out of nothing and making it harder for themselves (hoin makes sense (unrequited but those two other idiots dont). like wtf was the issue other than it being for forced ass angst sake.
chapter 78 edit: lmao red hair and black hair fkced again and then uke tried to strangle him. i literally do not like these two （￣へ￣）
i love this but it definitely did drag by chapter 80+. just skimmed through the epilogue just to be done with this, but isis def deserve her own story with king lohan since spoiler, she reincarnated as someone else.
aria, carin, and isis (bc she had a motivation that made sense and was a better villain than shallow btch mielle) def carried this story. unpopular, but i'm not a fan of the love interest, like he was just there, like an accessory to aria, or that he doesnt have much charisma and was completely overshadowed by her. they also dont have much chemistry to me, and oml those cheesy and cringeworthy lines they kept exchanging to each other. as the story progressed, he just became the jealous possessive bf type, also things went really easy for him (thanks to aria ofc, his struggle was like 5% to aria's 95%) so he's just really flat. maybe storytelling issue bc most of his screentime was just glazing her. (i skipped the epilogue but whatever).
i feel bad for cain, esp since he accepted his situation and was trying to change and help his father (compared to lameass mielle). his death def served a poetic purpose (which is to highlight how mielle killed all those who cared for her) but it didnt have a payoff bc mielle didnt feel neither remorse nor sadness when he died. like it wouldve been better if she wailed tf out bc she did that to herself (how she lead her family to their deaths), but nah she is stuck in delulu-land. so yeah, his death was just empty when it couldve been more impactful.
also, i didnt like how aria ended up having noble blood, which was probably just there to connect the dots on how she got her powers and to one-up both isis and mielle. like she kept criticking about classicism and nobility, and then ends up becoming a noble herself. like it wouldve been more powerful narratively if she was just a commoner and if her love interest wasnt the crown prince (bc whatever is his existence anyway but to one-up aria from the others and help her as if a genie when she's troubled, like wow how convenient), and if aristocracy was completely gone in the empire by the end. like the aria vs mielle court case over her pushing the count wouldve been interesting as aria finds a way to defend herself, but nah her prince would always save her. that's all for my rants (づ￣ ³￣)づ
only at chapter 26, but this uke is so fcking dumb. yeah, i'm also envious of ppl who are perfect in everything (rich, handsome, smart), life is unfair, but if i were in his situation i would take advantage pf seme's offer instead of some dumb stupid pride. like him projecting his insecurities was relatable, but imagine pushing away someone who wanted a future with you and would pull u out of poverty. like i get him having insecurities about them not lasting long, but like idk just try to get out of poverty first, have a brain and use him before breaking up. like be pragmatic for once. i dont like the seme trope either (delinquent and then top 1 student, feels shoujo-ish, also has a bit of red flags but not that bad compared to other semes).
i need more side stories ┗( T﹏T )┛ with the two in reality, and more about helena (she deserves someone better than the prince, but hey at least she's the empress. also i think it wasnt explained on how she got ressurected ??
I def like the female chars here but the male chars suck ass except for my pookiebear anahkin. It felt like they all have the same obsessive (and not in a good way) template, like bro the emperor killed his son for his wife to stay... like he couldve had a more interesting motivation, but nah all the male char's motivations need to be tied to their obsession with a woman. like hubris was fine, but then it kept repeating...
still amazing, like i devoured it in 2 days ╥﹏╥
I think it's because of the knife that was given by the witch to eris. Eris didnt kill her feom poison but the magical knife and the holy priest dude even said it would be idk easier or something if she was dead because he would bring her back to life so maybe she was just sleeping like aurora and when the time came by, like everything sets in place, she is to be woken up again. Idk just my theory
Damn this was so good ლ(´ڡ`ლ) I was getting kinda bored since it was so slow but the pace picked up when Yvonne appeared and everything became so frickin interesting. Like I love how they made Yvonne the "goody two shoes" in the eyes of others but that was all just her brainwashing and she was different from the normal mode. If she was, she'd just be a boring cinderella. Also Eckles ┗( T﹏T )┛. I just cant hate him since he's just being manipulated by both Yvonne and Penelope. Like I found him to be the most boring at first but his scheming made him interesting (I hate Derrick the most rn). But dude received the most crap in life and he has the most obvious death flag. I feel bad for him. Callisto is just chef's kiss ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
This is def good, not the greatest, just good. Also, why is Wan so dumb. He went inside a strange car tho he knew his brother was a nutcase, and then revealing himself when voice recording bruh... I cringed so hard when he finally got a backbone and said he'd protect hawoon only to do the dumbest sht in existence. also his brother didnt get jailed, bruhhhh...
sorry, but the second couple is a hundred times better than the first couple. they even have longer chapters so theyre kinda the main couple and the first couple was just a set up for them. like seonwoo js an actual relatable, complex character. still flabberghasted on how did the writer manage to write him when the first couple is like that taesoo is also just too precious, way more interesting than yandere/obsessive or puppy semes.
ok but why is brandon so hot ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
like that one scene with him beating the blonde dude with a golf club- askkssk. k im out
This needs a part 2, like in their college T__T The story mostly focused on Cirrus, and not much on Skylar by the last 50 chapters I think. Like part 2 could focus more on Skylar and overcoming his trauma, and then a part where he meets his past trash ex-bestfriend (forgot his name and I like angsty drama lol). A lot of issues were also sidelined or more like solved off-screen so part 2 could also solve this idk (like did Cirrus' stepmom just disappeared). Anyways, this is really good but still feels incomplete T__T
yessss like a season 2 but this time on their college life!
