Is there a clause in this artist works that requires them to design all their male characters the same? Because it’s getting boring and repetitive now. You could rotate the men in Kinks 101, Elegant Desire, and here with no one being able to tell the difference half the time.
This story would’ve been more interesting to me, if it depicted Sarah the maid and Kael’s story. I mean two villains working together sounds more nuanced and intriguing than this.
It’s nothing against Enrica but she is just another reason why the beautiful cutie airhead archetype can run its course in stories that are hinged on a huge miscommunication. It becomes incredibly unrealistic and laughable when the FL shows confidence, skill, intelligence and cunningness for other scenarios that require logic but can’t seem to connect the dots on the man she is marrying because the plot refuses for her to find out until the wedding.
That’s just ridiculous, I’m sorry, a lot of these shoujo ahistorical manhwas really do think their readers just shut their brain off while interacting with their stories so they will half ass the writing if they know all the facets of the story suffice for people. Sad. Anyway, I love Sarah she seemed really interesting and I think her being a dark mage would’ve tied nicely into Kael’s background of being used by one. A sort of enemies to lovers vibe. In fact, when the story first started I loved the relationship between her and Enrica. She could’ve been a lesbian with a one sided or mutual crush on her. Alas, we’re not reading her story though so we’ll never know.
But yeah that’s all I had to say. Will probably keep skimming but my critiques will definitely be a personal crutch to ranking this story any higher.
I agree, i think its very shallow, the story the characters. And also i hate it when the FL is supposed to REALLY fear a certain man(undesirable, because memories of that person kiling her would terrify her) but at the end in a lot of stories i dont see the REAL fear that they should feel and even in some its like is gone completely. She should be terrified, confused, panicked, depressed some even think of offing themselfs. A lot of stories lack INTENSE emotions or emotions at all. Its disappointing.
I see what you mean. In the story, she shows a kind of dismissive and reluctant acceptance to the fact she’s going to be killed by the ML, and it makes you think she doesn’t care but any time they interact or she hears word that he’s around— she’s terrified. They should either make it really nuanced or lean into the fear, and don’t let it up when she finds out the truth imo.
