Idk if the illustrator team noticed, but sometimes the eyes position of MCs could be so weird that the MCs appeared cross-eyed..
Scanlation quality is soooo bad. I thought they were exaggerating but no... Dropped at chapter 4. I'm sorry, but life's a brief candle. Time is too precious to be wasted on lower than subpar quality manhwa.
So,dropping the story entirely at chapter 39. Honestly, by ch 30 or so, the story is still just scrambling with introductions of too many characters. I am not really a fan of the FL character and her reverse harem setting (forced romance). Too little development, and all of them had declared love and devotion. I skipped to the finale, and not much is missed. Ayne ended up with Jay. Maria ended up with Duke Reindhart. Zion the werewolf most probably went back to his clan (idk, didn't really see him). I was bored by the arts as well. Facial expressions were really poorly illustrated, and some panels looked recycled / repetitive. Many apologies to the author team, but I just can't get into this.
First of all, there are a LOT of random rambling thoughts.. That's why we managed to get only 1 plot per chapter.. Luckily, I really love Arwin and Latte. Just that, there is too much comedic panels, those were kind of distracting from the main plot.
Ch 1- 30.. Danger zone of dropping as story was heavily centered on Ibelin with Latte being the sidekick. Usually, I'm on the sideline watching some random MC love story. Then, it felt like I'm on the sideline watching another sideline watching MC love story. Kind of frustrating to be perfectly honest.
Ch 30-100.. Slowly focused on Latte only..
Ch 100-130...Got better! Author flipped narrative to be from Arwin's and Ibelin's POVs. Latte finally stopped herself from being a side character only. Love yourself sis. Glad that Arwin fell in love with Latte.
I am at chapter 33 and dropping.. I don't think there is any major hurdle / breakthrough anywhere. How does this story gets to chapter 144 (honestly, what other plot is there to put in???) I will never know.. Many apologies to the author, but not my cup of tea (yes, pun intended).
Ibelina and Alejandro warms my heart so much. Those two lovebirds! Kyaaa (author likes to put these funny reactions in).. Sad that Crown Prince Diego could not have his happily ever after, but perhaps, he chose not to, to atone for the sins of his father. 1st half of the story was actually quite heavy and gloomy, while the 2nd half of the story was lighter and fluffy. I wonder if they changed the scriptwriter.. Quite an adorable read.
Artstyle is beautiful... but a lot of drawings are spent on details that are too abstract, too many panels are focused on closeup shots where sometimes it is hard to tell where they are or what is happening, gloomy colours are often used (noir-esque).. Eventually, plot felt lost and storytelling was frustrating at times. Story wise, it left so much to be desired! Kind of disappointing how everything turned out. Not any redeeming character honestly. Sad that Prince Regef didn't have better character development.
I wish Marilyn would have ended up with Lycan (Lariensa's brother). Their relationship grew very organically; they had long history together, they had better chemistry, and their development was actually quite sweet. But I guess, Sibel needed her more.
