I mean, we're all here hate-reading this, so clearly there's a demand. I'm going to be honest and say the spoilers only made me more curious as to how this story is really gonna go. It's fun in its own way to watch a shitshow unfold, especially when you kinda already know what's coming
This really is Pride & Prejudice 2005 movie coded, down to the hand flex and how Laura's hair looked braided to one side after receiving Mr. Darcy's—I mean Mr. Dalton's letter. Needless to say, I love it. (And from the looks of things, we might get some Persuasion elements thrown in when Laura's first lover makes a reappearance. Can't wait!)
wait am I stupid when did it mention her first lover??? i just assumed it was like cuz of her dad leaving her n all
I checked back on his first mention in chapter 2 because I thought I might have hallucinated it, but no. There was apparently a "rake of a man" who left her 12 years ago. That couldn't have been her father, because that description would have been weird, and we find out later her father left her much earlier than that. There was I think at least one other mention of this lover later, along with a panel showing him kissing Laura, but his face was in shadows so we still don't know what he looks like.
Ugh ty for breaking that down queen ily
stfu nigger
You okay?
you're out there in every person's comment telling people yo stfu and calling them the n word. wtf is wrong with you? can you stop being a fucking jerk??
ive seen the commentor on other manhwas. its just rage bait just dont engage
yeah that was what i was talking abt it. like sure we can rage bait but like there's no need being rude smh
they have bill cipher as their profile pic that should tell u enough of their character and why they engage attention-seeking behaviour online. pretty sure they know theyre being a piece of shit and just doing it because it gets them off
I guess my biggest question is why the Medean duchess switched the real princess for a fake one in the first place. Did the queen order her to? Because seriously, why take her when she didn't even plan to raise her herself. Why give her to that POS "father" who only wanted her dead?
My second biggest question is what the hell happened to the whole "this is a novel" plot lmao
Every time this updates now, I keep asking myself why the story isn't over yet. A climax is called a climax for a reason, and we already had that, so the ending should have come next.
Just try to think of it as a side story. The story ended after Niciana died and I'm glad they didn't try to resolve the crown prince romance at the same time. Though it does feel unbelievably tacked on.
I mean the climax was ass anyway so
This has been such a frustrating read. The mysteries only kept piling on while the ones before were not resolved yet. It's basically edging you with the way the answers are teased only to dump more questions on you that you'll also want answers for. Now at around the 80s chapters, they're info dumping like hell and goes deep deep deep into some lore, some details of which were barely even teased before so they more or less came out of nowhere. Just unnecessary "complexities" to the plot that I couldn't care less about by that point, because the story failed to make me care by being too "mysterious" and teasing with the details in the beginning. I only read until the available chapters because I thought this was already finished so might as well. Apparently not. Not bothering to wait for the continuation.
I agree that it's frustrating to read, but you're incredibly wrong about it being barely teased. It's literally been building up to this. The only thing that came outta nowhere for me is that the soul possessing MC is a divine dragon. And even that was probably hinted at some point, I just don't have a great memory
No it wasn't. The ultimate reveal that the "master" of the celestial twins only got called that because she was stronger than them was lame. The way this master had been discussed before made me as a reader assume she was an older being who raised and taught them, but that's not what we got. And I said "barely teased" because to me, it just wasn't skillfully done, making the resolutions to the mysteries unsatisfying. More power to other readers who enjoyed it though.
Yeah, I fully agree if that's what you meant!
Girl, you guys are literally identical, so maybe don't?
I love the art, it's so delicious. But while the plot is interesting, the pacing is just all over the place at times. Still really like it though.
I liked that the story actually lived up to the title, because even though it's ultimately for the greater good, Sasha and her companions *did* act like the antagonists by setting up the crown prince and ultimately killing him. The crown prince was only guilty of being an incompetent and stupid cheater. Since he was meant to be the ML in the "original story," he was presumably redeemable under the right circumstances. Arth and Rebecca just straight up said "to hell with redemption" and offed him to avoid future trouble. I have mixed feelings about that, but like I said, it at least lives up to the title.
I don't care if it's evil or whatever, don't let that scumbag instigator in. Just leave him and the rest of the shitty ones out to die.
i’d take him out myself
I hate how stories with holier-than-thou MCs teach people to turn the other cheek even for those who clearly won't appreciate the gesture. That's like reinforcing the message that it's alright to become a doormat and take others' abusive behavior because that's just what "good people" do. In the real world, kindness alone won't get through to them and make them change. You're just opening yourself to exploitation.
completely agree. Too many MCs keep being doormats, who cosplay red carpets. And mangas show others changing due to the MC being an idiot, but it doesn't work like that irl.
And then here she starts callously preaching about a sensitive topic with such self-righteousness.
