Meridian's manga / #Royalty(48)

Honestly super unique compared to a lot of stories with similar settings. The slow switch from his magic personality loving her to his actual personality was sooo satisfying and cute. I don't think I could ever get tired of this couple. The backstory that led up to their love was so complicated that I got a little lost but intriguing all the same, I adored it in the end!

Pretty cute! I liked how well thought-out MCs powers were, basically all the lore. It definitely helped the story feel more cohesive and I didn't get bored with it, the author gave it a good amount of focus. ML was strong but it never felt like he was the savior while MC was the damsel in distress, she was always the strong badass (plus those that helped her with her powers). All in all, the supporting characters (specifically the faeries/ancestor) had enough depth that it didn't feel like the ML and MC had to do everything themselves. It made the story more interesting.

So good! Aside from the secondary male leads, who were just there to represent selfishness under the guise of helping someone, the other characters were so interesting in their motivations and pretty fleshed out. I especially loved that MC was committed to actually going back home, even if she found someone she loved. It was perfect that he was able to follow her over, it's so true that they'd be much happier together in the modern world. The premise of the story was definitely unique, I've never seen another one where the MC genuinely plays a villain in a way that's hard for even herself. ★★★★☆
