erm...'s manga / #war(2)

4.5 stars 4 seems not about right esp with what i rated other mangas i see where the author was going with the premise of the story but i just don't think the pacing was executed properly the plot was kind of rushed and predictable she tried with the angst but it was low tier i dislike how everything so easily fell in place; it's boringly unrealistic and doesn't make for a well written story because who doesn't like characters with obstacles?? satisfying? yes! but for people who read a gazillion historical webtoons/novels, it's difficult to stay interested maybe if i read this 2 years ago it would have been better in my eyes istg this is the tgcf/mxtx/erha effect; i can't really appreciate any other historical bl because the bar was set so high by them

Not exactly this author’s best work. The plot was too basic and not elaborated enough on. I still don’t understand the significance behind why Smyrna and Capris are important. Like are their children better? She didn’t highlight the importance of the role of the two enough. It was just soapy, boring drama. The author needed to elaborate more on the other characters too in order to craft a better story. Like this was just alright/mid
