I went back to the beginning and read it all over again bc I was losing the plot.
after re-reading it, I can see that it DOES have plot. I think the problem is the fact it updates very slowly and we lose sense of what has happened thus far. I will say that I wish they touched on Mia's story and what's happening with that a bit more. We know she's not the real saintess because her hair was dyed pink with alchemy, she's being forced to act a certain way and she is literally a victim in a way. She doesn't feel like the usual green tea bitch that's actually evil.
Isidore. Oh my gawd. I think the problem with him is that he is too ... neon??? his hair is bright yellow. his eyes are like a cyan, turquoise neon blue. he is just overall too bright HAHA his face has also been changed. In the beginning, as the Master, his face was still .. strong? not too skinny kpop idol looking. and even when he became Isidore he retained that strong look. but they've made his eyes bigger, jawline tiny and he looks like a child now. He's more handsome as the Master ;;;; I think he suits Deborah with that look more as well.
The artstyle in the beginning was chefs kiss. SO GOOD. Deborah and Isidore(as the Master) looked amazing. I wish we could go back to those times. I do still like where the story is headed, I don't mind her business arc I just wish they also touched on the whole fake/real saintess and destruction of the shield etc etc

I just rather see more between her and her little brother. But I said she give her her brother the egg or something. I'm just starting to get bored with this eggplant. I don't care! I just want to see her in the little brother develop a relationship and have fun together and I don't know, have a childhood.

Fr! I just checked myself and the art style downgraded! It's more round and childish rn! That's why i had a feeling of her being less villainess like and Master looks like his eyes got blind, not sharp gray. Why they even done this? I love when manhwas got serious, mature, kinda messy lines in art style not this roundy, precise bullshit ಥ_ಥ

YESS omg exactly!!! That slight messiness in the earlier art gave it its charm, it was so nice! their faces were more balanced and she had a mean but beautiful look to her
Deborah is still drawn beautifully when she's seen through Isidore's POV but we don't get those shots often. I miss the Master's looks from the first chapter he appeared, he looked mean!! dude had AURAA. Isidore is pretty af but I wish he was less round and less yellow. color-scheme wise I hate their match up haha there's too much going on

she's such a fuckin hater broooo and what's "she's bringing in her own people to take control of the house" AFTER SHE ADMITS NONE OF THEM WANTED TO CARE FOR LARIETTE. How is bringing in one close maid that will care for her gonna do anything?? it's not like she went around firing staff and rehired her own people. Even though she should have after they failed to care for the mistress of the house.
However they feel doesn't mean they get to pass judgement on a situation, they're not family at the end of the day. She has done and is continuing to do a lot for the house and for Ashrahan. She's (the mercenary) literally passing rations for war relief knowing it's a good thing and it will make her Lord look good and she doesn't like it bc Lariette is behind it. Hating ass mf biatchhh

it always gives me the biggest fuckin ick when a dude goes "my woman" LOL ik it's supposed to be hot or whatever that he's possessive and clingy but I cringe every time. it's not just this series
its always some dude going "I don't like when my woman smells/talks/looks/etc etc at another man" bro eughhfhfhfhhhgg ahhhhh
that enough makes him guilty of everything bc murder comes as close to a sin as this (jk. but I do actually like blondie. he's cool. pinky is a fuckin dumbasssssss tho what da helll)

they kept bringing up the sister and I was like watch her also come to this world and boom bam bing there she is
though !! it's sad to think that a high schooler probably offed themselves/died. I wonder if she took that route because the parents were pressuring her to be this perfect golden child. it's often the case.
tho I do wonder what her "reasons" were to ignore Chika. She has to start from the ground up for those rights she's demanding, rn she has zero.

I don't really consider this a harem bc he's a child and these are grown women who don't have an interest in him in that way aside from the princess, ofc. and maybe the elemental girl.
buuut like ?? Harem where?? lol the maid is a maid/mom, the dragon kid is a kid and he's her dad, the sword is a sword, the teacher doesn't even fully trust him, there's the sister? but like, no one is flinging themselves at him? no one is being annoyingly in love with him? everyone plays their part. this is 100% action with the plot always moving in that direction.
if you hate women just say that bros lol it's ok to like men and only want to see men. plenty of BL around for that.

it's tragic to see someone be labeled as a waste and then go and be exactly that. a waste. I understand they had hard circumstances but it'll never be an excuse.
as much as I hate Mincheol and don't want to see his sorry ass unless it's to witness his fuck up coming back to haunt him - ahem, it is realistic to watch someone grieve a relationship. she went through so much with this guy that even if she hates or is furious with him she'll have a lot that reminds her of him. UNTILLLLLL HER NEW YOUNGER, HOTTER, BETTER THAN MINPOOP BF SWOOPS IN AND REFILLS HER MEMORIES WITH NOTHING BUT HIM AND ALL THEIR CUTE GOOD TIMES. LESSSGOOOOOOO
I stopped reading this around chapt 70 to let chapters pile up and the art.... the art has downgraded so bad.
I always try to look past bad art but maaannnn this is tragic fr
