The Way That Knight Lives As a Lady
I binged all 138 chapters in one go so my mind is clear. The way the story is progressing is disappointing to me. Luci assuming her new identity was a let down, I feel they didn't execute that properly not to mention her character is becoming stale. Zed is a good ML for sure, he's a rock..steady,constant,safe....he's exactly what Luci needs. Luci figuring out that she had been ignorant to the corruption of her King and was instead the reason for the people's suffering and the downfall of the kingdom she sought to protect was spectacular. Yet what followed after that was so anti-climactic...The reunion with her comrade in arms was done so haphazardly as if the author is just doing fanservice, 'here you go'...that was the vibe and also for Luci to finally be together with Zed without any guilt and gaining closure. It all seems so abrupt,which is wild to say over a comic spanning 138 chapters but yeah. Khalid is the most interesting character...he's the only one that keeps me on my toes. Did he make the wish for Etselle's reincarnation? I was certain of it at first but that doesn't seem to be the case. I like the connection between Estelle and Luci...that explains everything the fact that they are both called Ishtar,albeit for a different reason Luci for her beauty and Estelle for her brilliant silver hair in the battlefield. I like the scene of that Duchess and Luci dancing while Luci lead wearing a gown while the former wore pants.The dialogue was excellent as well, I saw that in a reel I think. The problem I have with this manhwa is regarding Luci's acceptance of her new identity. I thought she would be more anxious about becoming a lady...she keeps saying she's weak and is insulted when Zed says he'll teach her the way of the sword yet she hasn't made any effort to regain even a quarter of her strength. She did say swordmanship wasn't that easy but sis didn't even try. She just walks and calls it an exercise...I mean yeah that's relatable but it seems more in line with her character to be found everything in her power to be capable of protecting herself, atheist in the first chapters...although now she's all mushy and reliant on Zed. I also feel like the core of her personality changed too much.I wasn't even aware of it but the flashback made me realize that. I love the chemistry between them better then, now it just very typical. The second problem is regarding her friend. The way she saw Luci was so cute and their dynamic was so fun to watch. Her nagging and Luci standing up for her, Her being happy that they're finally friends and that she can be useful to her. All that thrown out the window to highlight the relationship between her and the prince. BTW I don't see any chemistry between them. I kinda hate her character now and I was never fond of the prince in the first place. The way she just blamed Luci for everything wasn't done right and out of character and the way they made up seem so fake. I like that Zed was so angry and confronted the prince right away. But then she was all nervous about the prince and didn't seem apologetic in the slightest. She had so much potential as well. What a shame. Romance take precedence over friendship as always ig.
I’m stuck in a crazy drama
