Meridian's manga / #Historical(39)

Dropped. Well drawn but MC doesn't like to use common sense and gets himself into so much trouble that could've been avoided. I like yandere MLs, but this one is toxic to the point that their relationship together just makes me sad rather than happy. The first villain also lives waaaay too long. He basically tortures the MC, using blackmail so they can't kill him, only for them to kill him later anyways. It made it feel like they suffered the whole time for nothing. MC is 'innocent', 'kind', and 'naive', to the point of being annoying. Like a pick-me or white lotus. Ultimately hurting others because they're so stuck on being kind, making things worse, and then crying when shit actually happened.

I go absolutely feral for the magic tower yandere ML whose whole personality is 'I hate everyone but her'. The psychological state of the MC was also super interesting, as well as everyone who wanted to take advantage of her powers. It was a good setup for the villains. I also loved the two Duke side characters, I wish we got to see more of them! They weren't a main focus at all but they had a huge impact on the MC coming out of her shell, and I love them for that. As for the main couple, crazy obsession turned slow-burn romance, pretty much? Anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed it. ★★★★★
