Fully finished.
Art style - 7/10 - The art style is kinda of rushed, and sometimes the art looks a bit weird. It’s okay though, it’s not bad.
Female Lead - 11/10 - I relate to the protagonist a lot, I really like how she feels so much for others yet she puts herself first at the same time.
Male Lead - 4/10 - I really don’t like the male lead all that much, Carsein is best boi. He’s so cold, I never liked him.
Overall - 8.5/10 - A true classic, but as with others I’m really disappointed in the male lead. It’s definitely worth reading though!
NEW REVIEW: AFTER ACTUALLY FINISHING THE STORY
Art style- 7/10 - My opinion still haven’t changed too much about the art style, it becomes awkward at some points. It’s still a solid art style.
Female Lead - 1000/10- I can’t express how delighted I am by her development. I loved seeing her growth, her hardship, and how she delt with all her struggles. Aristia is truly an amazing female lead.
Male Lead - 1000/10 - I take back what I said about being disappointed that he’s the male lead. This story mostly takes place in a different reality, where he didn’t do any of these things to her. I believe that all of the effort he put into trying to make himself seem sincere to Tia was absolutely amazing. It was beautifully written, I am no longer disappointed that he’s the one with Tia in the end. Absolutely amazing development in character.
Plot - 2000/10 - I really liked the plot, not a lot of stories do this well with time reversal. Even Lady Baby, although it’s very popular, and I dubbed it my favorite isekai manhwa, is like granite next to the Abandoned Empress. It really disappointed me that now Carsein and Allen can’t be friends after she decided to become empress, but well, I guess it’s for the best. I could feel how pained the characters were when they decided that they must leave her.
Overall - 2000/10 - PLEASE READ IT FULLY THROUGH BEFORE FORMING AN OPINION. I beg of you, please do so. I can’t recommend a better manhwa that expresses Aristia’s emotions better than this manhwa. I’m speechless, this is too good. Worth the read. Another good read is Ellen’s Solhwa, it expresses the emotions of the characters so well. This one would leave anyone speechless as well. I know a lot of people are not satisfied with the ending, but idk, it feels right? But I can feel some wrong in it too, I really wish she kept her friends by her side. Truly.
