BlueLikeTheWind's manga / #royalty(2)

I rarely make comments but this one is an exception. Spoilers ahead just saying, I already read the novel, or at least what was shown at the time...I haven't gone back to check in awhile. Ok, so first of all this manga is so frustrating. The sister won't change in the context that everything is against the female lead. The sister if I remember correctly is a princess of a neighboring kingdom who the dad (he was the personal knight of the queen/princess of the time) had gotten pregnant. Suffice to say the mom of the female protag was the handmaiden but was sent to be with the father as the queen was selfish and didn't want him to remarry anyone other then her closest friend. The mom poisons the sister I forgot why but she does, but she held no love for our female protag. The father doesn't care for our female protag either and the only one who seemingly does is a raven...death...god dude??? Along with her guard but he loves her as one would a loyal servant, he's married or was about to be in another route. In that route she tried escaping but was captured and fed drugs as a prostitute only to be recovered to find her sister and fiance married and gotten kids. In no way is the sister ever revealed to be a white lotus of sorts or rude to our female protag other then being naive and sheltered. The female protag doesn't actually harbor any kind of hatred (idk how tbh and her reasoning is pretty dumb-) but yeah supposedly she was saved by the sister who could've died if the horse managed to kick them, and for that reason alone I guess she wanted to save her as a coup is happening in her (actual) mothers country and the heir to the throne or at least the most likely to suceed the throne is the sister, so people are out to murder her, which the female protag finds out. At the end the female protag dies for real this time saving the little sister, but its noted that there might have been another magical source of some kind influencing the events as from the fiances point of view he stated something about feeling attracted to her in an eery, almost oblivious state. I dont know, but the author should've given the female protag some kind of amazing moments, its not the end that im hateful about since sad endings I usually like. But this time it felt tasteless, there was no respite for our female protag, only I guess the solace she felt by protecting her younger sister?? As the audience it isn't good enough, I had hoped she would be fight fate, know and realize why this was happening to her but literally it was dry, it didn't give any of that. Bad happened for the sake of being bad, I get the tragedy tag, I get it having a unhappy ending, but there has to be reasons to that cause. The characters and settings were pretty realistic, loved the idea and the female protag in a weird way. But the fact that theres no happiness nor any consequences to the other characters burns the meal. All in all, a manga you should read if you want to cry, feel angry or just want to feel something.

The story is bland and so are the characters. To me they're generic with the only thing going for it being the hot (he's generic to me as well but eh-) male lead and the somewhat interesting story plot of the heroine having to be a villainess. But it seems to me that the author had a good idea, went with it but didn't really think about the characterization of the characters nor the actual story plot. The art is fine but janky. Overall, read better but make your own decision :)
