the story was a good idea, it’s got all the elements of a good story but I think falls flat at the end. The FL lacks charm and ML’s motivations and storyline lacks any nuance. We see characters come and go so quickly that I forget who they even are. I felt like we were missing pieces in the father’s story that desperately needed more time to unfold. I understand what is going on but it flows too fast that for my liking.
I still liked it but I can see myself being like “I wish I got to know more” for example, the ex trying to bring people down, what happens to the uncle in the end, who did ms. Yun gets married to. These are all pieces of the story that I wish got some more time than being told to us via characters.
I was entertained but I got nothing out of it type of feeling.
I enjoyed the lovey dovey scenes and I wished if there was going to be drama that it was actually more meaningful to the story.
I'm glad that Lily and her mom was able to clear up any misunderstandings and fix the relationship before it gets bad. I loved seeing the family actually spend some time together and wish there are more chapters like that.
Overall good vibes going on and hope for more later down and lily will be taking magic classes awesomeeee
so many complex emotions in this one. on one hand, i hate that the mother abused lily emotionally, physically and left her with some much trauma. and then now in this second life, she changes suddenly and takes on this responsibility to take care of lily only bc in the first life she messed up so badly and feels bad...i want to believe in redemption but she is worth it? idk...this chapter shows just how traumatic the experience is and i can see how seeing her once abusive and alcoholic mother be so competent as an empress it makes her question why now? the scene from good place comes to mind like "i wanted that mother" someone competent, capable but why now shes able to do it now and not before. and also the complexities that she only has her mom and now it feels like her mom doesn't need her anymore. this manhwa is too good and complex under all this beautiful artwork.
i wished we got to see more mother and daughter bonding. i just don't feel like we see lily getting to spend time with her mother instead with her maid or brother. heck she spends more time with the emperor than her own mother...
This chapter, and what you said hit me really hard. Growing up, my mom was emotionally abusive, neglectful, and in most of my memories, severely depressed. But, after a particularly bad break down, she finally went to therapy, and she changed into a completely new person. She was now the kind, loving mother I always wished I had when I was young. And it’s hard, watching the person who hurt you heal before you can. It’s like they never even existed, but you still have to see them everyday. It’s like being haunted by a ghost.
I think the author has done a good job so far showing these complicated emotions and how a child would deal with them. I just hope the story continues to give lily the time and space needed to heal.
(Also, after lots of therapy for both of us, and many conversations with my mom in which she acknowledged the pain she caused, we are doing so much better. Sorry to drop such a heavy subject on your comment)
Your comment hurts, it's spot on. I always cry when I remember the Good Place quote "If my mom has truly changes, that means she was always capable of change, but I wasn't worth changing for."
Yoooo what are the chances that I was looking for the updates and the next day, this WEBTOON updates :’)))))
Oh my goodness. I have kept this on my reading list for so long and have always thought it was so much darker than its predecessor. Still it but it’s mixed with history and realistic part of living in Japan during that time. I have mixed feelings about it.
I felt a rollercoaster of emotions. Happy -> dejected -> hopeful? -> depressed -> shocked -> sad again -> happy finally.
I’m happy to see that he was able survive the war and come home and that they have a child together and can finally live their lives together without anything holding them back.
he gotta match her freak. cmon now chop chop
YOU STUPID(I agree)
