The growth spurt is always unrealistic. You mean to tell me they grew up in four years from children to fully adults? Because that's not a teen look. There wasn't any change either during the year they spent together prior setting the engagement.
Not only for the looks. Are we supposed to believe that in such a long time there has been no advance in their relationship? No development? They should have figured out something already if they just bothered to talk from time to time, or during those times the boy apparently brought her flowers every day. But it seems they are still stuck at the same point they were when they engaged. Everything feels stagnant and just waiting for the moment it bursts.
But all the comments are so negative and disappointing, even the summary is appaling. Doesn't sound like a fulfilling read...
Because what I understood after reading the summary, ML only bothered to start paying attention to FL only after she opened her legs for him, which wasn't even fully consensual since she was under influence of substances -_-!
Just found this one today and the sinopsis didn't seem bad, but comments are being harsh and unappealing...
I know that it's not like they can speak against the prince, but nobody uttering a single word about the handicap is baffling O_O. First, not only is the prince arrogant enough to demand a duel when he's the one at fault, he also is too coward to face the challenge himself, and now he's not even playing on equal field.
And the people watching just take everything like it is? Really? Are they all really that empty-headed that they cannot even see the unfairness? No, I'll tell you they're actually enjoying it, since they all see the marquis as a clown for their entertainment Ò_Ó.
This story was underwhelming in all aspects. Every time a new plot knot was presented, I kept expecting scenes of its resolution that never came to pass. Characters are presented and abandoned haphazardly. Reading every chapter left me way too often disappointed and unfulfilled.
And about the male lead? I don't feel any pull from him, any energy. He's simply pretty-fied at every turn and that's all. Maybe because I'm male, so I'll wait for any female reader to tell me if they felt any doki-doki in their hearts for him.
I'm several episodes in, but every time the story leaves me with a bad after-taste. The husband is so in love with a wife that's no longer there, and FL is just accepting that place instead of telling the truth. It's ok to do so with the child, who never really knew the nice side of his mother, but the ML is something different. He knew who he was in love with, and it certainly wasn't the transmigrator.
I would never be able to trust such words of love, knowing they aren't actually meant for me.
The real-life Penelope's family is utterly disgusting ò_ó.
You know, at first I was giving them a pass (a tiny, tiny one) because if they didn't like Penelope that's just how things were like. You can't force anyone to like you, and they're not under obligation to love you.
But THIS?! Playing their stupid, cruel mind games on Penelope just to make her do what they wanted her to do instead of just talking it out like a normal, decent person? No, that's unexcusable. That's torture and it's an act purposely done on bad will.
So don't play repentant now, when you were well aware of what you were doing. You could have stopped, you could have developed a better relationship with Penelope in a dozen of different ways. You simply CHOSE not to, go to hell ò_ó
I don't think it's an important detail, but just to be sure. The corpse in the wardrobe is the head maid that supposely was on sick leave, or the other young maid that was rumored to run away with the boyfriend?
I'm not really liking this sequel. Original FY was good and I freaking loved Takiko and Genbu kaiden... but I'm not feeling this one. First because all the unnecessary sad deaths, then the frequent fanservice of Neiran's nudity (fanservice for who in the first place, since this is a shojo?!), the so-called fiancé forcing Suzuno's boundaries, children marriage, polygamy, the child-falling-in-love-with-an-adult repetition... etc.
I mean, I understand that some things are cultural or historical (like the harem stuff), but it's just too many things putting me off. I cried at the Takiko's part, but Uruki didn't even look in his middle thirties. He looked as young as ever. And Sairoh seems to be in a mess when the lore had been that Suzuno had arrived in a time of peace??? Takiko saved Hokkan from a natural disaster, but this is just humans making cra*py politics.
But since the story regressed in time, and all this is happening BEFORE Ciel went to Korea... might Seohyon still exist and be alive in the real world, while her Irene soul is in-world?!
Or who knows, maybe the actual Irene's soul also transmigrated and is inhabiting Seohyon's body, as if they switched when she died as a young girl.
Sorry but just looking at the cover already puts me away. The (obvious) uke looks too much like a child for my comfort.
If the protagonist is "crazy about women", for what reason would she want to sleep with a KING??? O_O?
... Where does she go to the bathroom? Ahem -_-! I hope she's just not using "it" as fertilizer, you know.
It says released in 2022 but I can't find any spoilers. I mean, I know the webtoon probably only have these few chapters so far, but isn't there a novel like usual?
At this rate, that sorry excuse of a fiancé of hers is gonna turn into a real stalker, mark my words...
I liked a lot this story, but I'm peeved by the fact that no mystery has been explained. What about ceo Kwon imagining secretary Jin all his life? What about the dreamed life, what was it actually? What about the supposed BDSM novel? What was even the deal with Yoon Yang, if there was any? So many questions unsolved!
