I love this manhua so much—the depth and non-cliché writing really drew me in and made me emotionally invested, which isn’t easy to find. That said, there are a few things that disappointed me: :(
The writing and worldbuilding can be convoluted. Some chapters are so dense that translator notes are needed to follow the story, which feels like it shouldn't have to be necessary to understand the plot details given how many chapters there are to explain things properly.
I didn’t like the brother-sister love subplot. I’m glad she ultimately saw him only as a brother, but it felt unnecessary to the story.
Key character motivations and histories are unclear. For example, Laliete’s discovery that she’s a king’s daughter is just dropped in, and I’m still unsure how certain characters are related or why they act as they do. (for example how is Lalietes dad related to the current royal family????)
Some plot points are introduced but never resolved. Laliete becoming a judge and attempting societal reforms felt sudden, and conflicts like child trafficking are mentioned but ignored.
Despite these issues, I love many aspects of this manhua, which is why I’m reflecting on these points—they confused me while reading but didn’t ruin my overall enjoyment.
