Dropping this at chapter 14 because the MC is blushing at this man who literally killed the character she 'sympathised' with and whose body she is currently possessing. Imagine if he was ugly? She wouldn't be doing any blushing.
I don't get this story, she comes in charging about wanting a divorce, pretending to be all strong and taking charge and revenge, but she's literally getting toyed with by people 24/7 and gagging over some asshole.
If anyone at all has finished reading this or read more and can actually tell if this shit changes, please let me know. The art is super pretty but I can't abide the stupidity of the MC currently.
Btw for taggers 'strong female lead' is supposed to be used for an actual strong female lead. Not some MC who is pretending to be strong but is just throwing random temper tantrums and fits and basically folds like a wet paper in front of a POS with a 'handsome' face (who again may I remind you, killed the body she was in for being actually a decent human being in love with him).
Currently at 73 and she does not love him. She explains that any sort of blushing she gets (which is only a few times) comes from the real Robellia's leftover emotions. So far the story has been the MC making multiple decisions to ruin her own reputation in hopes of getting deposed, but they always backfire on her. Instead she ends up gaining reputation. At the most recent chapters, she's been planning out her escape with the help of a Duke after the Emperor vowed he would never let her go.
Also, the Emperor did not neglect the OG Robellia and let her die because she was decent and loved him. He also did not love the concubine. He has a personality disorder that makes him apathetic to others including the concubine and including Robellia. He only kept the concubine by his side in the original story because she was a snake just like him.
I think the story is worth reading. The MC is not a fool that drools for the Emperor. I also do think the Emperor is pretty interesting. I enjoy his inner dialogue and conflicts (though I hope he doesn't end up being the ML).
I didn't tag this story with the "strong female lead" tag but I do think the MC is strong. For instance she has a clear goal in mind and all actions she takes are towards it. People around her do make comments to try to change her mind but she does not let them dissuade her. She puts her foot down when necessary like the couple of times she makes it very clear to the Emperor how she will not forgive him. This doesn't change even after she learns more about him and his background story. She also acts based on logic and not emotion. One of her initial plans was to keep working for the Empire (though as an employed worker with a salary) in exchange for being allowed to divorce. Her reasoning was that the Emperor did not want to let her go because of how useful she is to him (workwise). She was willing to reach a comprise where she could get her freedom and he could get what he wanted. She doesn't let her animosity for the Emperor dictate how she acts towards him and others. Overall, I think she's competent, confident, and clear headed which can be described as her being strong. But I guess it all comes down to lens with which you read the story.
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the amount of time you put to type this out and may give this another try later because of it. I'm hoping that I'll see what you enjoy in this story.
Ya np
the OG was not killed she was abandoned and ignored (I'm not defending the ML or nothing cuz he was really trash) but admit it the OG FL was really weak, she could not even save herself from abandonment and misery, she could have just left
and plan for a better life like current FL but she stayed still in the cold palace waiting for the trashy ML
Author touched on an idea that would be super interesting in the current dom/sub universe, but unfortunately it just turned into a smutty one shot. Not bad reading for those who like hot manly men fucking, but if you're here for plot, look elsewhere.
There’s actually another webtoon about this type of trope. It’s a full story with multiple chapters.. I forgot the name though sorry
It's called absolutely ruined love
can i just say... THANKYOU FOR THE RECOMENDATION OH MY GOD IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL I WISH IT HAD MORE CHAPTERS TO IT
I'm not really seeing the issue with the art?
Chapter 1 has people without eyes, so I don't see how the artist got lazier or slacked off. And even if the art style changed, it's never bothered me.
I'm grateful to the uploader for providing us a decent read for this story, but the small notes picking on the story are bothering me. I don't mind the end notes, because I can skip them if they irritate me. But notes in the panels always catch my eye.
I probably sound ungrateful, but I'm allowed to say what I think. So when typing out any replies just keep in mind the words of Thumper's father from Bambi "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say nothin' at all."
no you can clearly see the lack of detail in the newer chapters when compared to the past chapters. Nothing wrong with pointing out the changes.
Is he actually up? Because we'll have to pray for Hyunsoo if he's not. Not that we won't be praying for him anyways.
What the fuck was that cock UGHHHH SO EXCITED FOR THIS
Please remember never to go directly anal to mouth in reality. Make use of condoms if you really want to do something like that.
If anyone is interested in an ost for this manhwa. https://open.spotify.com/track/17U5izQXWu0l47ozx3YdfF?si=SYb8eZcHT9Cd7fOY2je9Zg&utm_source=copy-link
For those who prefer YouTube.
Just look up "노블 - 나의 별"
The YouTube video will show which of the members are singing the lyrics, as well as the artists who sang the song (they aren't a group).
I can't share the link because mangago keeps deleting my topic.
I don't know if this has been shared before.
Holy sht they sound so good n hot LOL
omfg why didnt i know of this
Someone is getting a ball to the face again, and it's not Seo.
sorry i meant to upvote
Me too sorry..
Honestly, I feel like it's his ego that's making him want Hyunho to take the money. He'll probably come up with an excuse like he feels bad that Hyunho has to take the blame for the money truck incident, but really? His ego.
I really hope this follows the novel.
Penelope is really awesome during the hunt. She brings down a bear. And she and Kallisto snuggle together naked for warmth in a cave after assassins attack him (she helps him fight them off). And the trial hehe so much about to come up.
Don't forget that befire that, she save the entire room from magical creature that no one can beat (since they can be beaten by magic only and her crossbow is the only thing there)
Dang!! Accidentally saw spoilers but still.. Thank you
Am I the only one that wants to see Lyle try to get that house, just so we get to see Ash go wild and tell him how much he wants them to live together (because I know Ash has to want Lyle living with him). They're just so cute together but please, we need Lyle to stop overthinking in his head and propose to Ash. They're just so cute together but please talk more. Still surprised Ash hasn't offered straight up, "just move in with me if you can't find a place".
