Lauvil's manga / #Royalty/Nobility(442)

I feel sceptic about this one. I'm usually all for stories with angst and overcoming trauma, but it feels like the author is making light of the issues they are addressing. Firstly, yes the ML saved the FL from her abusive ex-husband, but he did so by buying her for a large sum of money. So, even though the ex has been abusive for years, he gets away with it and is even rewarded for his actions. This means that he learns NOTHING and is free to go out and subject another woman to the same treatment. Meanwhile this woman who was abused for years to the point where she has PTSD, doesn't really act like it. Yeah, she has flashbacks with panic attacks, but she's a lot more trusting and optimistic than I would expect a person in her situation to be. Not that you have to act in a certain way to have PTSD, but I just fear that the author is prepping to make the MC overcome her trauma and PTSD really quickly and easily. Like, "she was saved, so now she's fine" which is bs. I hope I'm proven wrong, and the story will also focus on her recovery from her trauma, and not just on her learning to become a proper noble.

Dropped. The characters are simply too stubborn and dumb, especially the FL. The author really wanted to drag out the tension and the romance, but we've hit a point where it's simply ridiculous. The only reason the main couple is not together, is bc the FL insists on "following the original story", even though that ship has CLEARLY sailed loooooong ago. There is no point in stubbornly clinging on to the of story, and yet the FL is CONVINCED that she knows what is best for the ML and what will make him happy, just bc she once read the book. Well, it's BS. She has clearly already changed the story and at this point it seems like she just want to play martyr to make herself feel important and generous or smth. Meanwhile, the ML is just as stubborn, clinging on to a woman who runs away from him every chance she gets. He even goes so far as to kidnap her and keep her captive - which btw is NOT romantic, dear author. If he has to resort to those kinds of methods to get the attention and companionship of his love interest, perhaps he should just give it up. She's not the only woman out there and however hurtful it is to let a love end, you'll overcome it eventually. I'm so done with this.

It's not the most original plot line, but entertaining nonetheless. I'm not really too fond of this mix between angsty relationship with a sociopathic ML and a sweet, innocent romance, that the author decided upon... I kinda want my angst angsty and my romance healthy and sweet. Mixing the two kinda muddies everything. But maybe the author has some great plan that will make things a bit clearer in the future. It's still kinda early to judge, ig.

Restart

Not really my cup of tea... The ML just seems like a psychopath and the FL is super generic, and the first few chapters really bored me.

Omg, this Webtoon is hilarious! I love all the characters so much! Even the annoying characters and the antagonists, bc they are all so funny! I love the FL. She's hilarious, strong willed, smart, cunning, and very, very flawed. I just can't get enough of it!!!
