It’s been what? 30 chapters? And Astina still cannot understand that she is doing the same thing over again? That she is pushing him away just like she pushed Theo away and treating Teriod as Theo had treated her.

She’s so afraid that she might not be loving him genuinely that she is masking all of her actual feelings and her fear is making her unsure of what is true and what is not.

This isn’t even something that can be talked out between the two of them anymore I feel. I fear that somebody is going to have to force some sense into her.

I had just finished chapter 6 or 7 when they brought up the mom going missing again. And I thought it was weird that she didn’t have any mention of leaving or such. Then I went back and reread the chapter where half-sis turns her into a cat initially and she talks about how mom wanted to take her back and how it “worked again” etc. And after rereading the first chapter, it hit me!

The half-sister turned her into the parakeet from the beginning! And once the parakeet was able to “say her mothers name” aka say her own name and learn to talk thus start to be able to tell people that the daughter is a sorceress and what she did. She kept it with her at all times!!!

Idk if that bird is dead now or not, but omg that’s 100% what she did!!

But I personally am tired of the black leopard trope. I prefer when they just have the leopard be their beautiful golden color with the black spots and such. Not every leopard or big cat in a story needs to melanistic or leucistic or albino etc. The normal color of some of these bigs cats are beautiful. Except for golden tigers, those are my favorite.

This manga really had me for the first 6 maybe 8 chapters. But by this point I’m just getting bored by how long it’s taking for any real growth in the relationship between these two, specifically mutually. Like yeah, their feelings have grown but there was just so much that they had to cover here and that they’re trying to pack on that it feels like they’re trying to get to the next plot point before they fully resolve even the last three.

Spoilers ~

I mean, he got transported to this new world that’s a novel of his sisters. So he’s gotta resolve his feelings on that.

Then he’s gotta resolve his feelings on most likely being an omega.

And resolve his feelings on being in a gay relationship.

And resolve his feelings on being in a lower class with a high class partner.

Like, none of these are really resolved at all before they skip to the next one. Sure, he says he realizes he doesn’t care that he’s a guy, but it doesn’t *feel* like he worked his way through that. So everything just feels both rushed and slow at the same time.

I think maybe I’d feel more invested in the story if by this point they rushed it to the moment they admitted their feelings for each other. But instead it seems like they’re just going to go for another moment of “Now I won’t tell him my feelings for him because I realize the risks of dating somebody of his status” that he somehow never realized could be a possibility all this time. And instead we’ll get another handful of chapters waiting for Jasper to figure this out and pulling the feelings out of him. Ugh

Super cute and they did get into their relationship super quick which was funny and interesting. My only issue is the size discrepancies. Some scenes she barely comes to his shoulders and others she’s up to his chin. I’m giving grace and it doesn’t actually bother me that much but man, I just don’t know how tall anybody is lol.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Grandpa either put them on a final warning or kicked the kids and the parents out of the family for their grave crimes to the family name. Oh god I can't wait for the next chapter.

I love this story a lot, the female lead is strong, smart, and doesn't let things get in her way. But at this point this feels less like a romance story and more like a story of her life. Which is fine, but we met the Prince once and then haven't really heard from him since, and we are coming up on 40 chapters.

What I'm saying is that I'm worried this story is either A) going to take an incredibly long time and possibly be near 200 chapters and I'm selfish and don't want to wait (but will continue to do so). Or B) will rush towards the end and not give us enough time to truly feel the romance swell and them work together to better the Lombardy family and the Empire through the Prince.

I'm not saying that they need to be in love or meet right away, but just that I would like to see a bit more variation in what's happening. Right now it feels a lot like; problem that the family would cause by being dumb, Tia comes up with a plan to make it better, Grandpa is impressed by Tias ability as is one other important person, Tias plan comes to fruition and things are great and now she has one more person on her side, rinse and repeat.

I forgot who the male lead was in this story and I can't remember if it's another character yet to be revealed or if that's a different story I was reading. So, if somebody could spoil who the ML is for me again I would greatly appreciate it.

So there's a lot of back and forth between the group that dislike the female lead and the group that thinks she's cute and relatable. Now, besides the fact that the whole point of comment sections are so that people can give their feedback, thus whether the feedback is positive or negative it's a good thing for the author and translators (so long as the feedback isn't rude), I'm going to explain why I personally don't find the female lead that enjoyable.

Yes, she's "stanning" him super hard and fangirling at meeting her 2D love right now, and that's all fine and dandy, but one small part seems to have been forgotten and glossed over too quickly. She is not the original owner of this body.

What does this mean? Well the original owner of this body tortured Roan for years. Absolutely tortured. She hit him, picked on him, got others (even adults) to hit and pick on him, fed him POISON and was just general the worst kind of person short of killing him. In a sense, she was no better than his father and in the real world would get institutionalized or put in jail for the abuse she caused on the poor boy.

And then FL took over the body and tried to change things. Apologized for her actions, tried to be kind and fix the mistakes of the past. But she also just tramples all over his feelings constantly. She apologized, and basically immediately wanted to be best friends with him. She did mention at one point that she "doubted he would forgive her that quickly" but instead of giving him space and trying to prove her sincerity, she forced her feelings and emotions on him and made him have to deal with something new now.

Of course that worked out because there wouldn't be a story if it didn't, but IMO things resolved themselves too quickly. She said one phrase that made him happy, "I'll always be on your side" and that was all it took to get to his heart? And now he's starting to develop a crush on her, but just a year and a half ago she was still torturing him.

I am still reading this story because other than the beginning portion, I do enjoy the plot. Cliche as many areas of it are, it's still cute and I'm interested to see what they'll look like when they're older as well as how the author plans to play out the FL of the story that she jumped into and the harem of guys she had. But the current FL does seem kind of pushy and not exactly understanding of the situation she started in.

Just my two cents

So I want to make this comment in reply to a lot of people who think that he's slowly falling in love with a bird. This isn't cannon, just my interpretation of it that I think many people are overlooking:

He's not falling in love with a bird, he's becoming more human. And by that I mean, he was obviously cold and rather uncaring for things that didn't pertain to him. Heck, he's even suspicious of her even though she's a bird. But it's also precisely because she's a bird that it allows him to open up a little bit, because if a person tried to do everything she's doing (within reason obviously) he wouldn't let them because he wouldn't trust them for even want to take a chance a trust them.

But because she's a bird, she can do silly antics and such and act out of the ordinary and he's seeing it as new and interesting. So he's becoming interested in this bird, not in a romantic sense, but more so in a sense that he has closed himself off a lot and is sort of just starting to remake that connecting to other people (or in this case a bird).

Think of it like how many people will say their dog is their best friend, and open up to a pet because there's no fear of judgement or set-back, and how animals are always good at wiggling their way into our hearts. Somebody who may seem cold and uncaring towards humans can find themselves caring for animals due to their cute demeanor and innocent nature. The bird can't say words to make misunderstandings or fuck things up for themselves, so there's a bit more trust there since the bird can only show its knowledge and usefulness through actions.

Essentially, her bird form is opening him up as a person, so that when she's back into her body, he'll be more open to her as a human and eventually it'll be easier for him to be romantically interested in her. But right now he's just learning to truly care for another creature in a way he isn't used to since most of it is because of his duty to his country and his king/queen/princes/princesses. So this is a new and unique creature that he's learning to open up to.
