meh, MC constantly uncomfortable = not enjoyable, uncomfortable read
also, the goal was not good from the start, not even tied to him as a person
all he does is avoid them, preventing love interests from falling in love with him, instead of the opposite, like trying to win over someone's heart to escape
too heavily focused on Whitey
The whole story world never once resonated w the MC!!
There's no message or story, just a concept that's still in its development stage
Boring title
- Stereotypical badass MC wannabe
- endured for ur late mother? lame excuse
- START w the action, not irrelevant info, late intro @ ch5
- weird narration
- Cons: flat MC, no Emotional Dynamic Change, no excitement or curiosity, we could've wondered if she actually lived up to the rumors around her, feel nervous for her cuz her attitude give ppl reason to dislike her
- Mary Sue & Gary Stu meeting?
- she's more funny aloof but art translation = pretty, but pretty boring
small parts I liked about this story before dropping:
- finding out that the crown prince had a soft spot for and either took the poison cuz it's from her or consumed anything cuz it's from her
- finding out that the crown prince was a really great guy and genuinely cares deeply for her in her next life
But, I dropped cuz I don't like the FL, her toxic ex-fiance and family, unpleasant female competition and characters
uh =o H o=
focused on too many things = the story felt choppy and messy, not solid
blondy too powerful, magic and dragon stuff were flimsy with no consistancy
tbh I also just didn't understand what was happenening half way
and an important powerful white dragon died for the plot??
I don't feel the weight of dragons in this world at all, realistically, and then for kingdom(s) to want to kill other kingdom's dragon
the translation could also be improved
I had high expectations, but it ended up falling flat
Originally was excited to see the growth between the Villainess & Heroine. They were getting a nice development, but we never saw it through >:(
As for the MC, his first meeting w the 2 romantic interests were cute but the development was rather stiff and the story romanticized sexual assault
Overall, story lacks foundation, characters are too 1D and nothing feel genuine
More relationship and character building, less kissing!!!!
I liked the pure adorable feelings Orange had for Black & their young moments
Black had aspects of obsession & jealousy that I like, however, it wasn't executed well for some reason
Perhaps Black has to also be considerate of Orange and his happiness & try not to be selfish and be totally controlling over Orange
The struggle would've been nice, but Black was overall just...quiet, upset, and possessive :(
Overall pair just lacks serious chemestry and wholesome moments :(
adorable but ur an adult but u got trauma
Introduction: was abused and was saved easily by the duke who bought her. she was cautious but the maids made her feel welcomed. her father has issues. some mysterious prince~ or wizard? only FL can see his true form (black n red) nothing special
What's the goal? What are the scenes that makes her a likeable FL? Things can't just magically happen & be in her favor w/out some structure (reason, debuff, reward)
Using as reference to compare this sort of story to smth like Frieren
- Frieren has a mind map format, relating everything back to human connection, spread across as a journey and can be found in many other characters' journey
- I get the gist of her pain but no journey or EXPLORATION was done, just a 'quick fix' of killing her, giving her new difficulties to deal with that dismisses her main struggles before reincarnating
- Dislike the setting: hierarchy, criticism, dumb charas
What did I like abt the story?
1. their meeting & how their goals matched
2. they cared and fought for each other
3. the last sex scene illustrated w intamacy
What could be improved?
1. Theme--could've been traditional than modern setting
2. The pup's growth felt stunted while wolf's arc was taking forever to reveal his backstory, and the conclusion of his family situation a mess
3. initial 'babe' & biting was unnatural
4. fight, no communication
overall simple n predictable, nice art but lacks an emotional punch. The execution of this game world lacks in supporting the narrative of the story. Immersion is quickly disregarded when interacting w every character relies on an option window pop-up. The whole thing abt MC trying to find true love with many girls in this scripted world feels artificial n shallow. MC's realization to his feelings is a problem for me. Prefer if he'd taken it slowly, not realize w one event.
