https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-KYO3XG1xJX2UkDpHdLNE3PqHf5WFEpG Super interesting story, can believe I put this off for so long until I finally decided to pick it up and read it. Plot is much easier than all the other isekai and transmigration stories. FL is called Roxana. FL awakens to find herself in a noble where she is rebirth into the daughter of one of the most villainous families. Siblings of the family are constantly in battle of the weights with one another for their fight for survival. Having gone through the tragedies of her brother being murdered in front of her, FL decides she will grow strong and gain power. FL‘s father is a sadistic madman, her older brother is essentially somewhat of a Demon because of how strong and inhumane he is. FL’s older brother is somewhat of a mystery because he acts as if he really likes her yet sometimes he will say things like “I want to see you cry “. In regards to ML, ML is the son of one of the five big families in this world who has had his family exterminated and is captured by Roxana is family and held as a prisoner. Of course this being a novel that FL has transmigrated to, she of course, knows everything that is happening. FL protect the ML so that in turn she protects herself. Currently at this point, FL has successfully gotten ML to ask it out of the household and a few years have passed since then. However, ML has showed up again and things are about to take a huge turn. Extra comments, story it’s a lot more dark and edgy compared to other “another world “stories. Really enjoying the art style for how pretty everyone looks in this story which is great and super pleasing to the eye. FL is honestly such a strong female character because she really lived through all the horrors that this family has and survived and manage to be strong in her own right that she is feared by people. A lot of crazy things happen in the story, also a lot of blood and murders and killings. Side note, FL is older brother , Dion is a sociopath but is extremely hot.

After coming across a tragic romance novel called ‘God’s Crest/Seal’, FL is plagued by nightmares of the horrific trauma and abuse the villain of the story, Aseph endures since he was a child. In this world, something called God’s Crest appears uniquely in pairs to signify soulmates and only those with the same seal/mark can be together or they fall under what’s called seal sickness which is unbearable. Originally, Aseph falls for the heroine who is the fated soulmate of the Prince and alas, because of overwhelming grief and hatred or having loss the love of his life, Aseph was ultimately killed by the Prince who was hailed for being a hero that slayed the devil. Unable to stop thinking about Aseph, FL prays to be able to save him from this cruel world. A miracle happens and FL wakes you to find herself in the story of ‘God’s Crest/Seal’ as Elzay Tiathe, the sister to the heroine of the story who supposedly doesn’t appear in the story at all. FL and Aseph have a chance encounter and slowly, they grow close. Unfortunately, FL develops a mark on her, sealing her fate, leaving her desperate and depressed that she could not be with Aseph and save him as she hoped. Aseph, ML, grows interest, obsession and love for FL. At the end of season 1 chapter 40, FL finally reveals that she bears the mark of God while the ML does not. However, they get engaged and intend to marry anyways. Season 2 sees the entrance of a villain known for targeting people with the crest, enjoying their suffering as they slowly lose their minds after losing their crest. FL gets visited by the Goddess Primetsa to discover that she was originally a soul from this world that because of her ability to resonate with people, by chance she saw Aseph’s fate and dedicated to sacrificing her soul multiple times to try to change his fate. So it would seem that FL of the modern world and novel world are the same soul just different identities. In Aseph’s original destiny, he was supposed to have died at 5. The goddess could not bear to see FL suffer and sent her to the far away world, which is Korea but even then, she still made the same choice and returned. At the end, ML, corrupted by the previous exchange of his soul to the devil, is finally able to receive his crest after gaining back his pure blood because of his sacrifice to save FL. He meets the goddess and is returned to the world of the living to live out his happy days with FL. FL and ML ends up having a child together and live happily ever after. ML does live up to being a villain, being cruel, obsessive, two-faced, and has skewed perceptions how how to gain and show affection which is no surprise given all the traumatic experiences he has experienced all throughout his life. He has felt little to no affection and has been constantly abused so it is no wonder he does not know how to love. He is toxic, but he was abused by so many before that he has become this way. It is also through FL’s love and faith that starts changing him in subtle ways. While he may never be the most wholesome, he doesn’t have to be because FL accepts him and he genuinely loves FL and would give his life for her. While some people criticise about FL being a crybaby, I’m not irritated by that. I find it reasonable that FL is emotional especially when it comes to ML because she deeply empathises with the pain he went through and is deeply in love with him. Wouldn’t anyone hurt to see someone they love hurt? Story is definitely dark, frighteningly so with Aseph’s trauma that just makes your heart cringe. But this is definitely a story about how love conquers all, thanks to FL’s determination and unbending love for ML that ultimately changed his fate.

Art is chef’s kiss but the plot or lack thereof…yeah…

Fuck. Could it get any worse? There’s literally no redemption, only pain and suffering for the uke. Spoilers in season 2/3 talks about rape happening to the Uke in a flashback and again, he suffers more of it at a later time. Struggling with debt and trying to find independence to survive, the world is not kind but cruel. I’m not torturing myself to read on. The Seme isn’t worth it, nor is their relationship. Fucking toxic, and I’m sick to my stomach knowing the Uke will just suffer so much from the hands of the wretched people around him. Fuck nah.

So called Uke believed he’s an omega all his life, but things take a turn when the truth is revealed that he was drugged and manipulated from the start by the fucked up seme. Uke is an alpha, just drugged so much his hormones became unbalanced? Plus the brainwashing.
