TheChilliest's manga / #Romance(120)

The dynamic between Mishe and the third prince, Prince Kallum, is as funny as it is touching as one can see their relationship grow from where it started a woman with a heart of gold who was thought of as nothing more than a slave and a man who sees value in many things or people that catch his attention and truly wants a peaceful reign as king. What I love is the third prince doesn't barter with his wives and treats them all fairly, plus he's not just known for his looks he actually takes action be it thinking of how to out maneuver his rivals and delimmas or physically facing down an opponent. I like that Mishe had the makings of a queen right from the beginning and Prince Kallum sees all his wives as his pride and not mere tools...he also really cares about the people who serve him which makes one think he'd make a great king. I like Prince Johan even though he can be quite wicked with the face of an angel.

The fun part about this is that I didn't know exactly how they recognize they're mutual feelings for each other...I loved how Del wanted to start calling her by a nickname so he just did so casually and she took it as a competition by giving him one back! I get that the earth and water gods wanted to suppress fire and wind gods but it was very reckless creating a being with no direction then at some point he winds up in the human world full of sounds and smells that he's unaccustomed to...I'm glad that he got a bit of warmth and kindness in his life it was wonderful seeing the changes in Del and LynLyn and how everything slowly started to tie together.

I didn't completely realize it till now but I really like the otome feel and seeing things from the supposed villian/villainess side of the story because who knew what brought them to where they are or if they really are as bad as people make them out to be...they could even be better then the "heroes/heroines". Plus I love how bothe female leads are reencartnated, but of course Irene is awesome she was confined to a hospital bed before but now she's taking control of her own fate and even allowing the demon king the life he deserves.

It really makes you think when the main character is reincarnated into not only a villainess but also one that's from an otome game, I've played my fair share and I know they get crummy endings unless you happen to be a bad guy hottie then quite possible he'lol have a love interest route. Anyway, the way the female protagonist weighs all of her options with a counsel of herself is very interesting and how she worked with what she knew from her past life was very smart, plus the fact that she played through most of the routes to know about all he characters shows she was really paying attention. I love the fact that she can really turn things around for a villianess who didn't get much air time and make herself hard to forget and make all those around her really think if there's more to her than just a haughty noble. Also the fact that she descended to actually love her stepbrother instead of bully him like her counterpart did made me smile and think that maybe she won't meet her bad endings.

Definitely has a deifferent feel to it as the female character actually wasn't obsessed with the otome world that she's reincarnated into, but I've played otome where you can switch love interests while on someone else's rout always seemed a bit wrong because you didn't get their full story that way. But it's interesting that the female character gets to know a main supporting character well along with a love rival for the heroine sense they're just as much of apart of the story as the others and it really grabbed my attention when Lizz keyed in on Bern's sadness in his smile and wanted him to fully enjoy himself by showing him her genuine self. I really like them together! Also, Bern's sister Katerina has a cute yet intense side about her like Lizz says it made me laugh when she wanted to be called dear sister.

I like when strong magic ends up being tied to eye and hair color or even birthmarks or scars...since Phili is reincarnated from a modern day Japananese woman she has a deep appreciation for black hair already and has little tolerance for people who belittle those with strong magic in the new world she's born into (black hair). I thought Edi's conviction when young to keep his adoptive father and Phili at the center of his world so cute...even how he cherishes what's given to him but I thought that visiting a few times wouldn't have hurt...he definitely wanted to just get it all over with the whole bully the prodigy in magic school part of his life. I like that life after the wedding is shown for the two childhood sweethearts, plus the patience as well as frustration that comes with having the knowledge of your past life.
