Elli_Wate's manga / #fantasy(7)

This was so trash. The leading lady transmigrates into another world, and she ends up with this weird guy who kills people because she was about to get killed by these other people. And yeah, I can’t even remember what happens like it was just such a fever dream I barely read the first chapter I feel.

So this girl, I think ends up in another world. And the world is in disarray because they’re at war or something like that. I think she’s like a witch or a healer or something and she ends up helping these trashcan other human people. I’m pretty sure she’s on their side because they’re fighting monsters. But they tried to assault her. The monsters come to her aid and — I want to say that the demon king or something like that — is like cut it out y’all better not touch her! He rescues her, takes her to his palace. He is badly injured and she ends up taking care of him — very much so for proximity like enemies-to- loversish, — but she’s not really his enemy because she doesn’t really care about the war. But they end up sleeping together. That’s how the book ends.

I finally finished it. When I say finally, I mean this took so long. The book kind of actually ended at chapter 120 or something like that but they had little side stories for the next like 30 chapters. But I finally finished it and I am so happy. The book was OK. I started it before, but it was still being written so I started and stopped a couple of times before actually even finishing it. It’s basically a revenge story. ~ One thing that I didn’t quite understand is how she had so much power and yet she never really used it. I just felt like she should’ve used her power in fighting situations a lot more than showed because it seemed that she was actually a lot more weak willed than she was, and she was just pretending to be strong. Or like they were trying to create her to be a strong female character, but I never believed it. ~ Either way her family was kind of trash and I was actually a little bit sad that her mom ended up dying although her mom was trying to kill her. Her mom kind of turned it around and was trying to help her in the end but she still ended up dying. I was like, but I mean she wasn’t really trying to help her. She was more so helping herself. ~ But I felt like they paced it very oddly. The whole thing with the Empress dowager I guessed it immediately and I was like OK let’s just see how this plays out. But honestly, I felt that led up to this whole big crescendo this climax that really was anti-climactic. So the whole thing is basically like she hast to become the Arabella so that she can stop this disease from spreading and that literally starts at I want to say the Arabella plot starts at the beginning of the book, it’s like right when she makes her contract with the Duke to become her daughter after almost dying with her bio family. ~ But they never express her feelings about being a contract kid or even going to them addressing the contract after it’s made. I was thinking that we were going to have a little bit more along the lines of “your our real daughter and we care about you. We don’t want the contract anymore. We just want you” kind of conversations. But instead, they kind of just welcomed her and she had one or two other fleeting moments where she was like well I’m just a contract kid and then they never addressed it. She was like I’m just part of the family And I’m like whatever. ~ And we also had a moment where she was like “I’m scared of fire” and all of this and they kind of tried to bring it back with stones but I was like no she’s not afraid of fire stones that was the whole point of the stone was that there was no fire in the house so she wasn’t afraid of fire stones but OK. ~ Another thing they didn’t addressed was the whole situation with the Duke being betrayed. We don’t know how she got betrayed and how she got this scar on her face. I thought they were gonna explain it in the extras, but they never did she just got betrayed that’s it. that’s what they said and I was like OK whatever I don’t really care but I thought they would’ve explained it instead they explained how the parents met and how the dad got his scar but OK. So anyways back to the plot, it was kind of like how she was introduced to the family. The oldest brother took her and the younger brother was a little bit more weary of her and took some time to warm up then she goes and has all of these little side tests that go into how she becomes the Arabella and of course she becomes Arabella and now we’re just literally filling in time so that we can get to the point where she hast to fulfill her duties. ~ At this time we realize that or at least I did that they needed to create romance and I was like I’m not feeling it. I really felt that the guy liking her just came out of nowhere. I know it was supposed to be like oh you know I’ve like her for so long. I’ve been her friend for so long and this and the third, but it really came out of nowhere and he was over here like ‘she reminds me of my little brother’. Like they were fine, but I was like she could’ve had somebody else or he could’ve been with somebody else and I really wouldn’t have cared.~ To the climax, so the whole thing with the temple was actually a pretty good fight scene except like she got tricked by them two kids, and I was like how you get tricked but go off. And then it just didn’t make a lot of sense with the fights. The fight scene was in different places because the duke was fighting the Empress, the dad was fighting her old dad, she was also fighting her dad and plus the assassins and then her brother was fighting the assassins and was helping the Duke, the other brother was helping Duke and then I don’t know why but all of a sudden now they’re attacking the Duke’s house and the leading man kind of sort of arrested his daddy and then he was everywhere. That whole situation was just so confusing annd annoying because it was like built up to be like this huge fight. ~ And I want to say mostly it’s because the dumb king. The king was like oh my gosh my son is my son even if he’s my half brother blah blah blah and I’m like who cares that boy is not your son. You may have thought he was your son all these years but he’s not your biological son OK and he is your stepmother’s son who she’s trying to make the king and he’s cool with that so he was gonna stage coup and like no offense, but you knew that your brother (LM’s dad) also had betrayed you. You’re stupid. He was just letting anybody and everybody get away with everything and then the book wants to be like oh yeah he didn’t let anybody off in the end. Like no. Mr. teddy bear was just trying to look hard, but he was really reeling. He was not a good king and he really did a disservice to the people of that kingdom. I felt that they deserved better. He was way too nice and way too weak willed as well. ~ So anyways, we end with her sucking up the virus or the plague or whatever and then we go into the side stories and I’m like you know what as a matter of fact I couldn’t care less about this dumb book anymore, it was around the time where she went to the temple that I was like yeah I don’t wanna read this anymore and I just like kept reading and it was I had to push. I had to push, but yeah So I don’t think I would ever read this again. It was the first time and that’ll be good enough for me.

Was super cute. The moon goddess helped the two consummate their marriage. They were super adorable but I wish there was more of the story

Wasn’t bad
