δìмíтяα's manga / #Strong Female Lead(4)

What a heartwarming story! Seeing Athanasia struggle to win her father's love was preety agonizing to me. I couldn't fathom how a father could be so cold and cruel towards his own daughter for no apparent reason. As the story progressed and we got to learn why he behaved this way I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Their relationship developed and they came to love each other. Claude found something precious to hold onto other than his beloved Diana and a reason to lead a meaningful life, whilst Athanasia found what she longed for for so long, a family. I am just dying to see who she ends up with. It better be Lucas! I just love his character and his interaction with the princess. They were both adorable and funny. Also he is the one that helped her the most throughout her journey and understands her completely. It's not mere attraction, it is genuine love.

I'll try to be objective with this one. *Spoilers ahead, continue with caution * So the main lead is the queen (second to the empress) and is being hated by the emperor, because in his eyes she has received more affection from the people he had desperately yearned affection from. So, he is cruel to her! He actually rapes her, redicules her every chance he gets and eventually executes her and her family. The protagonist turns back in time and has the chance to rewrite her story. She chooses a different path, works hard and becomes quite accompliced, making friends and having beautiful interactions along the way, including two lovable boys who fall in love with her. So far so good. That part of the story was excellent in my opinion. I enjoyed every moment! Unfortunately she rejects the kind hearted men who approach her and ends up with the cruel emperor, who through the twist of events, changed and came to love the protagonist, but again he remains the same man who was capable of such cruelty in the past. He wasn't under any spell, everything he did was out of his own volition. And now for the true tragic heroine the original empress, the one from the first time line. She was transferred into this world by accident and was told to marry the emperor. She didn't know anything about this new world but somehow she managed. After a few years of marriege she got neglected by her husband, abandoned by him, after giving birth to his child, and eventually murdered. In addition to that she got back in time only to be transfered into this strange world again. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. *Spoiler free zone * There are some major plot points I consider deeply problematic but I cannot ignore the fact that this was an enjoyable read. It had its fair share of drama, adventure and decent amount of funny scenes that made me giggle. So all in all I believe that this is a good story with some flaws. If one is willing to see past them, then give this a try.

The way the story unraveled was interesting, though I do believe that the author failed to progressively build suspense when it came to big moments and revelations. I really enjoyed the protagonist's personality duality and her struggle to live as Edna, while her identity as Eden came to the surface to remind her of her past life. The main couple had quite the chemistry and I personally enjoyed the side couples, although their stories developed only briefly. All in all, a great webtoon. I can't wait to read the sequel!!

I'm at a loss for words to describe this story, but I really wanted to review this psychological (almost) masterpiece. First things first, the two main characters are extremely well written. The protagonist is actually a strong female lead. She is a smart, brave and attractive woman who gets entangled in the Ml's twisted game of revenge, the perfect tragic heroine. Now, for the male lead, he is a very complected character.
