samster's manga / #reading this for the ikemen(31)

Not gonna lie, I barely remember what's happening anymore. I think the romance with the crown prince is forced, especially when that long, white-haired pretty boy is RIGHT THERE. Anyway MC is Mary Sue and there really is no way to make that interesting.

I remember liking the ML, he's adorable

Oh my god. How do I begin to describe the brilliance? Perfectly tempered political maneuvering, with a generous heaping of manipulation, and plenty of hilarious comedic moments. I love this story. The characters themselves are so unique because the author doesn't take the tried and tested method of what you'd expect their archetypes to be like. Excellent, 9/10.

I have a lifetime membership in the Yurgel Hate Club. I'd sell his soul to Satan for a dust bunny. That aside, there's so much politcking and from some such a fresh, unique perspective. Plus, MC doesn't have the full picture and she's still putting the pieces together. Great stuff.

It grabs you by your metaphorical balls and doesn't let go. Slow, satisfying revenge. MC's rage is one that has been simmering and stewing for ages- but she's ever pragmatic and very cut throat. Genuinely one of the best revenge stories I've read. Eagerly waiting for updates. 10/10. 12/10 for the slow cooker revenge. I can appreciate playing the long game.

I really enjoyed the premise, and then it's just kinda dipping now. Naska has my whole heart and Rebecca is the ultimate tragic heroine- until she slowly starts reclaiming her agency. The romance is just too... much for me. I don't like it at all. I ship Rebecca and Naska with MC more. Not bad for a light read though.

3rd brother is exactly my type, and I really love the dynamic between the brothers. I think the current relationship between 7th and Weiwei is pretty cute, and could be developed into a romance eventually, but the fact that he's basically a parent substitute makes the entire situation icky. Not gonna stop reading though bc it's hilarious

Oh my god- is this why villains toe the line to madness to easily? It's so addictive to see her get corrupted, and I'm enjoying this thoroughly. I'm convinced I have a daddy kink after this manga tbh

Both protagonists are headstrong, stubborn as hell, unfairly pretty and their interactions are hilarious, if rife with misunderstandings. The miscommunication and distinct lack of sense in their conversations can get irritating but they play off each other so well and have pretty good chemistry. Plot is out of whack though.

Literally only reading this for Caiten. He's goals, I'd marry him on the spot. MC hasn't really had any character development for... a long time. She lacks the grace and poise you'd expect from the only heir to the throne, and I find her incredibly immature and childish. Dranste and Perdel though, I love them so much. I would also marry them on the spot :( ngl I can't explain why, but I find Asisi a bit annoying
