ReviewRaptor's manga / #DO NOT READ(122)

This one made me angry tbh. It had SO MUCH potential, but the filthily rushed execution fucked it over entirely. If this is based on a novel, I hope someone with decent writing skills will re-do it, but as it is you can only flip through the pages as you would with an artbook because: the story is at it's core great but the rushed aspect makes it horseshit, the dialogue is like a 12 year old thirsty fujoshi wrote it but didn't know how to make a fucking reasonable connection between one scene and the other and while the artwork is indeed great...that's all there is you can pay attention to. If you make the mistake to read sentences, you'll be left confused, annoyed and potentially so disconnected from what was going on that you just wanna move one already and read something else. It's really sad this turned into trash so quick. Nevermind the shitty translation work, the story itself is just rushed and feels disconnected from one scene to the next, like they couldn't give less of a shit about writing a connection scene and just wanted to have them fuck...which didn't work either since the angry dude went from IMMA KILL U to PLEASE FUCK ME HARDER within ONE scene skip...without any reasoning or build-up LET ALONE an inner monologue of suddenly changing his mind and being horny and up for it...which would be THE bare minimum to do. Skip this entirely or just look at the art, otherwise it's trash. Sadly. It could have been a gem if they had tried.

EW, just EW. I need to rinse my eyes with bleach after this bullshit. Spare yourself the eye-cancer.

Puke-worthy, rape bullshit that pretends to have some sort of appeal. The author and whoever actually enjoys this kinda shit should get therapy, seriously.

The writing of this is really utterly bad. Unfortunately, since the plot was interesting but I'm done with this constant back and forth and criss and cross of emotions/intentions. This story LITERALLY switches the MCs emotions/intentions from one pannel to the next just to fit the situation. It feels like the author had a scene in mind and couldn't be bothered to think up something cohesive to fit the facial expressions they wanted to draw and just went 'fuck it' and did it randomly. One pannel he hates him, next he likes him secretly, then he wants nothing to do with what's going on and in the next he wants to fuck. WTF is this bi-polar ass mess?? And who tf thought this made any sense. And no, this wasn't just for a short moment, this is the case from the very start, tho it gets progressively worse as you keep reading. It is certainly not a translation issue either, since even then the comic pannels do simply not match. It's just a butchered writing job. (And both the MC and the love interest are weirdly robotic in their common sense department. Like you put a AI in a skinsuit and told it to 'act human'. Also the love interest is a total jackass, but that's the least problem in this story tbh.) This is absolutely confusing and obnoxious to read. The art or base plot cannot save it, it's a waste of time if you're looking for normal human behavior. If you're fine with weird writing that makes it all seem nonsensical or bi-polar in nature; this is your thing for sure. 0 outta 10 - Not ever recommended, spare yourself the waste of time unless you're not looking for good writing or like a bi-polar writing style with no cohesiveness whatsoever.

Okay, I'll make this quick and simple: -The Main character behaves ABSOLUTELY RANDOM. One time she's aware of how things will work, the next moment she's more dense than a concrete wall. And not only that, her reactions/thoughts/etc. sometimes make you feel like she has ZERO humanity, she feels more like an alien that HEARD about how humans act, tried it, but failed miserably... - Her flaws make her VERY annoying and it makes me honestly want to skip every sentence she speaks or thinks...which is obviously NOT good. - The base story is interesting at it's core, but the all over execution paired with the annoying MC just make it utterly uninteresting. It almost feels forced in some ways. - The male lead is handsome, but even the tragic story of him lacking emotions and having to get them back was screwed up by the author. For some weird reason they gave him an uncaring attitude towards it all, like he doesn't need them (despite it being VERY important for his future in many ways) but allwhile it feels like everything is being turned into ridicule almost. It just feels very off. All in all this story is just badly executed. The shitty translation work that noone checked for any corrections even in terms of pronouns for a character, really doesn't help it all. The art is okay, but unless you're a 12 year old with ZERO reading experience of quality works...you'd better avoid this. It's just not good. Even if it could have been, with some effort and rhyme or reason... 1 outta 10, but only because the artstyle is nice. There is nothing else worth looking at here, seriously. :/

To be honest, the story WAS interesting for some time but the longer you read the more aparent it becomes that the author has ZERO interest to get to the scene that was firt shown that caught our interest. On top of all that, the author has ZERO idea how politics work. Seriously, they have absolutely no clue how to write a political story. It's fine to take it easy and keep political seriousness to a minimum so you can foxus on the needless drama and 'love story', but this author made it clear that they THINk they know how to write political things, but they fail to realize they are terrible at it. Like a 14 year old horsegirl that thinks she could tame a mustang because she rode an old schoolhorse for a year without falling of... And it all just feels like drama after drama being added so the story gets longer and there's more to prevent the actual, original plotpoint from happening. After getting annoyed with the stalling I skiped up to chapter 75 and we're at a point were the empress is all sad n uncooperative to get divorced. This plot is dragging it's feet like a sled behind a dogteam. Please just get to the fucking point. Which I know will not happen anytime soon because the author doesn't know how to write a proper story. Mind you, stalling like this and filling the story with drama and political bs would be perfectly fine...IF YOU HAD ANY IDEA HOW TO WRITE POLICTICAL PLOTS. Which is not the case here. I can honestly not recommend this. It's disappointing and only the scanlator memes were something to look forward to after a while. Which is just plain sad. Don't get me wrong, the characters are fine, the MC is interesting, the villain(s) super dislikable and the love interest(s) have a charming personality. But it all falls apart since the plot is just so damn obnoxious. Again, if the political bs WAS well written, it would be a good read, but it simply is not. Easiest example for this: You can NOT punch an emperor and expect no consequences (the guy is NOT benevolent and understanding, he was just randomly made to be so in that one moment to fullfill the plot purpose...which is shitty writing 101). There are a lot of random, non-sensical things happening, but I could forgive that as amateurish writing if everything else was done well. But that's just not given here. I might potentially come back after it's finished to see if the bitch dies or something, because she's very dislikable indeed (tho nothing new, we've seen her type a dozen times), but I really have no need to bother with this more. It's badly written and the artwork looses a bit of quality in the longrun...which might just hint at how little effort is really put into this on all fronts. Not sure if this is from a website you need to pay to read chapters, but I could easily see that being a thing. Because this reeks of cash cow comic content tbh. Try it for yourself, if you have no idea how politics should work in such a setting you'll probably have a blast with it. For anyone else: Don't bother with this or at least don't say you weren't warned. :'D 1 outta 10 - But only for the early chapter (up to 40 or something like that, after that it's just frustrating and drags on and on and on...)

This is one of the shittiest copycat plots I've seen in ages. The author has many moments from the very start that make it feel like they can't follow their own story. Characters are way over the top toxic, the MC herself is a toxic bish that only seldom is likable and overall nobody can fucking think decently. It's not worth reading tbh. I tried, I really did, but it's only get worse as you progress. Which one should notice after the major fuck up in logic in chapter 28... Not even gonna bother re-checking for the end. Fully dropped due to all the faults which just make it a chore to read.
