Same I dropped it and just read the comments to see if our boy Arjen finally gets his own arc without Arien taking the spotlight once again. Also they talked about how there aren’t a lot of Heibi left and that’s why everyone was after Arien. What about Arjen, even if he has more Royal bloodline compared Arien, doesn't it technically mean Arjen is the first male Heidi, especially if there have only been female Heibi. Arjen is still the son of a Heibi and the TWIN of a female Heibi. That has to mean something.
I mean if Arjen was first to actually feel the connection of the royals with their guardians, yet Arien ends up with the better relationship with their guardian (by that I mean falling in love with their guardian), then shouldn’t that apply to Arjen with their Heibi side. Like come, why is all about Arien, when it’s supposed to be about Arien and Arjen.
Honestly, red hair and princess had 0 chemistry. It's like they woke up one day and chose to like each other. It wouldve been more believable if Arjen and red hair HAD a thing because the plot kept going on about how Arjen is more strongly connected with red hair thus they had stronger feelings for each other. I was actually waiting for angst from princess girlie because of some formnof insecurity.
AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ABOUT HOW MESSILY THE HEIBI BLOODLINE PLOT WAS HANDLED. So they're literally just gonna sweep her bloodline uner the rug? There could've been a wholeass character arc for princess girlie about coming to terms with her bloodline but no, they decided to just ignore it altogether.
What happened to Riolu? What happened to young Lord Rosea? Heck, where tf is Ishina? Honestly, all the other characters felt like plot devices. Father (Idk his name, btw) and Sidwell are deus ex machina, Alex is token healer, Lloyd and Eiji might as well not exist. And it hurts to see Arjen go from main character to accessory. This webtoon had a lot of promise. I was actually expecting character growth from their struggles to open up to their family, to coming to terms with their bloodline, to their mana disparity (which was POORLY EXPLAINED, btw and had no significance in the story like honestly it was made to make princess even more of a Mary Sue), heck I would've even wanted red hair struggling and finally accepting his growing feelings for princess! I was expecting the other guardians to step in or smth when green hair and dragon(?) Seemingly disapproved or was bewildered with a guardian falling for their master but NO it was glossed over. The academy might as well not exist. AND EVEN THE ENDING WAS RUSHED.
And let's not even talk about Arjen literally not getting his own arc. Srsly, even when he was kidnapped, EVERYONE WAS MORE WORRIED ABOUT PRINCESS GIRLIE LOSING HER TWIN THAN ARJEN ACTUALLY DYING (not rly but yall get the point).
I knew there was a reason I dropped this webtoon, and I regret pouring time catching up to it.
