Juice's manga / #Good writing(9)

Best of the best. hard to top this kind of writing that delves into the psyche of the whole cast while maintaining a relatively wholesome vibe. it’s just so incredibly real

Highly refreshing and cream of the crop in female MC writing. She’s compelling but not one note and doesn’t lose track of her goals unlike other MCs. Her behavior also feels incredibly realistic given her previous life experiences, something i rarely see in other stories where they’re competent for no reason. She’s so complex with actual flaws but even her ruthlessness is understandable in a situation where she really needs to survive. I also really loved how she kept empathizing with the person she isekaid into and didn’t forgive penelope’s abusers for her.

my baby girl ruby ☹️ NO ONE GETS HER LIKE I GET HER!!!! if ruby has no defenders i’m dead. but seriously i adore the writing for this story. it’s very clear the author put effort into researching how abuse victims can behave in that type of situation bc i really related to a lot of her trauma responses. her character just feels really realistic for her situation and i love it. not every character can just be a badass FMC plotting revenge, especially with the boatload of trauma (FROM TWO LIFETIMES!!!) that she’s dealing with her and her limited amount of support/resources/power sometimes you’re just going through it and doing your best to survive day to day like she is. as for the romance, i personally found it very touching

intriguing story tbh. the ML already seems like such a solid character from the first 20 chaps which is a rarity. we get insight into his behavior and the clear survivor’s guilt along with his loosening grip on his sanity. i also like how he keeps analyzing the MC’s behavior lol it’s often accurate. it’s funny how he’s puzzled over how far the MC is willing to go to please him—her murderer over several lifetimes already.

pretty refreshing in that it isn’t a transmigration story but a villainess finding a way to turn back time herself. there’s no actual mystery behind that and it’s more focused on the developing relationship between the MC and the ML. i found myself getting really invested in their romance so i decided to continue with reading the novel too and letting the manhwa marinate for a while. the author is pretty good at exploring the poignant emotions of both of the leads and i’m desperately wishing for their happy ending.
