apopoi's manga / #Magic(76)

The first 20 or so chapters I went through at light speed...but as the story progresses..it destroys itself...mc turns dumb...ml is perfect..conflicts are dumb as fuck..my ten year old cousin can come up with a better plan than her....I'm not angry just disappointed. 80 chapters in and I feel its quality deteriorating and at an all time low, so it is safe to say that I will officially drop this manhwa..the MC turns stupid and makes novice mistakes, her clapbacks are so predictable and seem to be at the level of an elementary student. The translation is jarring to say the least with the pronouns being messed up as well as the grammar, the prose is also very bad. The introduction of a love triangle made me bolt out of the manhwa asap. The knight is obviously the superior and cultured choice but from the moment I saw the face, aura, behaviour and personality, especially the character design with the blonde hair and red eyes, I was sure that fucking mage was the ml. That made me mad. He is the master of the magic tower, we obviously know what that entails. The knight's dedication and his loyalty towards the MC in the past life as well as this life is a high bar to reach. He is also a whole cinnamon bun. Him realising his feelings for her and being satisfied and happy about the gifts given by MC who doesn't put that much thought into it, stresses me out. The whole arguing and fighting over her bullshit is getting on my nerves and the fact that the page shows them side by side, the readers cannot help but compare. I have always been into the knight's look from dark hair, more subdued looks and the whole personality as well as his loyalty trumps all the wild and badboy trope of the supposed ml. The MC is torn between the two and thinks of them both when her friend, the crown princess mentions the one u like is what makes u excited. Her actually debating it and balancing them on a scale made me see her as a stupid and selfish MC. Her blushing everytime makes me wanna punch her senseless. The hairstyles and dresses she wears are a mess. Considering her whole vibe as well as her hair colour and all, those type of cutesy attire don't suit her at all. I would prefer her in pastel or royal colours with a more sophisticated and pristine look to it. Her tying her hair in ponytails and all. Ahh seriously!!

So fucking cliche but will I still read it? Yes...yes I willl

Love how the MC doesn't put up with shit...Violence is the answer and she knows it..Took her nine lives to figure it out but hey she is a slow learner but she learns!! Hate her dad... despise her brother...how is an adopted spoiled brat worth this wonderful being that is the mc...the ml seems to be a good match...mc no longer gives second chances...you fuck up you done...the story is okay..but the frustration building up from other MCs is giving me a newfound appreciation and respect towards her...All hail this Goddess!!

I can somehow remember some plot points...a bit hazy...some interactions among the characters are still fresh in my mind...I remember liking it...second chance is given to mc to fix her mistakes...or mistake pertaining to her son committing suicide cuz of her desperately doing everything for her son to be the emperor/king...she even killed his brother whom he loved and who loves her for the throne...so when he sat on the throne...he says that it wasn't his wish but hers...and killed himself...super memorable scene...

Mc is cardboard or typical MCs...nothing worth writing home about...ml is also bland for me personally...mc is dense, op, and downright stupid unless the plot needs her to have common sense here and there...the story presents her to be this cold and unflinching person who can make tough choices yet it fails in doing that....so fucking boring...the art isn't to my taste...so shiny...sparkles everywhere...flowers blooming in the background...so fucking over this...

Same author as 'Stepmother's märchen' so the art is impeccable...love mc...logical, witty and all things good...ml is good... translation sucks so I will read in another website...love it...5 stars if it weren't for translation issues..

Their hair colour is so deep and rich..royal blue is my current obsession..the mc is mistreated by her relatives whom her dad left her with for some reason I don't remember..she is actually op but is mistaken to be useless?..Truth be told it's been so long since I read it with my sister..but It was a pleasant read..it felt so calming..as always I have qualms about the fashion with all the frills and bow tie, pink and bright colours but it's to be expected so no point deduction for that..her dad is like a dog chained by the king so he can make sure he won't get betrayed..the father is hella op..her mum seems cool tho she dead...RIP

I like that the ml came around to his senses..leave that lovesick bitch be..how can og mc leave everything behind and make a contract with the devil/demon over a boy who killed your family and made your life miserable..she left behind her swordsmanship cuz she heard that he(the og ml) did not like girls who can fight..she was a swordsmaster but she left it behind..now she lives in the body of the princess who is engaged with that bastard who she believes he loves..now that's where the mc comes in, she possesses the body of that lovesick bitch now having her talents..being good to the ml, who was the second ml in the story she read, a butler who had a one-sided unrequited love towards og fl..he finds out that mc is not og fl and is in a dilemma at first, cuz he a tower master on the side being raised by a dragon and later abandoned, he is hella OP but seeing someone who loves him sincerely and genuinely cares for him made him fall in love with mc too..he no longer cares about the og fl..good riddance..Mc doesn't know that he knows about her identity and keeps it a secret that og fl now possesses the body of the princess..so a whole mess...they got married but it's not happily ever after atleast not yet..with the demon still at play..but yeah I dropped it...cuz it be basic..

Another case of mc being transmigrated to her work(book)or reincarnated..also love that she has op power as the creator of the world .the fact that anything she writes becomes a reality..she is so human and love that..love that we see the villain side of the story, why he was used as a stepping stone for someone else's success..It was so unfair for him..love mc taking ownership of her actions..also it seems that not everything is under her control and that there seems to be others like her who has been transmigrated..I think I liked it when I read it..it was a long time ago tho. Update : So I reread it and got upto ch50, I think I was upto ch35 in my first read..not sure. But my feelings towards this have changed and not for the better. Everything here feels childish and it feels like I'm watching a play for kindergarten. The actions of the characters are so predictable and the characters themselves are so generic and plain. The whole idea of a creator being in the world she created via book could be so op was interesting and made sense. But I don't like the MC and I don't like how the story is going. Perret, the ML's aid has taken a liking to the MC and gosh that is so shoujo logic. And to add on to that, the ML's little sister in turns like Perrret so a whole ass mess will ensue and then be gone like it never existed. It's a cheap trick used by novice writers to create drama and tension in the story to keep the reader's interest that ultimately does not do anything to the plot. The og ml's fl is so goddamn impudent slapping a soldier cuz she didn't salute her and made a whole damn speech about being 'not like the other girls', sounds nothing like a girl crush but a woke "feminist". The og ml is a prick and a goddamn child who is so emotional and needy for attention, his past life wasn't that bad..com'on u can't act like the most miserable person in the planet cuz of that. The princess who is the typical villainess is so annoying, her treating her step sister like trash abusing her left and right then getting mad and feeling indignant cuz she attracted the attention of the Emperor. She some generic blonde bimbo. Her approaching the ML and her whole speech screams entitled in big bold letters. So I have to drop this. And I don't want to sound petty but the art style is lacking in so many areas and just because u darken the characters faces doesn't give u an excuse to call that expressions..u have to be more detailed and creative than that in this day and age. The action scenes made me laugh I'll tell u that

Hate that this was dropped..we were robbed fr..I think only upto ch50 is translated..I loved everything about this..MC's arrogance and attitude as well as ML's cute and dense personality but above all their dynamic and chemistry was unmatched..they were like 'dumb and dumber'..RIP
