Surviving as a Prince's Fiance Webtoon
Empress in Turbulent Days Webtoon
90 - i, for once, don’t understand the bad reviews, but maybe, at the root is the fact the MC is reborn Twice : the first 14 or 16 chapters she is already maried to the ML who is the emperor, she’s abandoned, mistreated and beaten, her family has been killed, lastly she dies, for you to realise that the emperor absolutely loves her, he’s an ass and a prick, and a jealous man, but he’s very much in love with he woman he did let be killed… Basically this is a pill against romance ! i love that the MC is a modern girl who wish for nothing else but to escape feudal system - she wants to become independent, and absolutely hate the idea of marriage, she’s smart enough to dread royalty and want to run far from the palace - she might be a bit naive and clumsy she really tries hard at it That is such a nice change ! Of course, the future emperor keeps bumping into her, saving her, but also getting her back to square one all the time … there’s not sweet alchemy, even if obviously they seem cursed to be together (evil writer) It’s also smart enough that very few people find her acts cute/refreshing/interesting (she is obviously) but she doesn’t abide by the rules : the culture clash is all there So chapters are short and maybe he pace is hard to follow, but it’s not too hard (she runs, she does something,she’s caught), and i liked the not sweet dynamic I guess the MC is one of the most realistic modern girl lost in time i’ve ever read : she a bit willful, but honestly not too much - it’s so normal she wants to run and so obvious it’s hard ! she’s a bit smart at place, and not smart enough in other places - again it’s very much logical she won’t be able to play the rules of that violent system -and it’s not because you’ve seen drama on tv that you’ll suddenly turn into a snake tongue to play court games ! She keeps a modern mind with moral standards from our time : she’s not suddenly ok having slaves and slapping her authority around, she retaliates with some out of places rules, only to protect herself and her friends (a maid and a beggar) She doesn’t fit ! How god is that ? It’s so absolutely make sense than one actually would probably be at risk or die in these kind of situation So i like it Saddly, it doesn’t seem to have a continuation so far (hiatus ?), and the criticism are a bit harsh I wish i knew if there’s a novel out there, although i’d probably be disappointed to rind her falling for that stupid emperor to be - how good would it be if she managed to run !
