Started reading it because I heard it was a classic and I love ancient history. Couldn't make it halfway through vol1. I can handle useless. I can handle clueless. I can handle selfish. I can handle anxious. I can handle stupid. I can't deal with an MC who is all of these at the same time. I don't know why this is so well liked.

    Shaushka?

    Ishtar, the goddess of love, war, and fertility, which can equated to Shaushka (according to google) but this manga has a special place in my heart, and if you were willing to give it a chance and read even to volume 2, I think you’d get more into it. Of course, it’s up to you, and I don’t know your tastes, but she doesn’t /stay/ useless.

    Well, the Hittites are fascinating. I won't write this off then but won't prioritize it.

    Yeah she is very flawed. You kind of love and hate her for it. But it is a pretty nice novel. It's been Ten years? since I read it. I rec it. But yeah, you have to stick with it.

    PS, there is this really cool other manga >> Blade of the immortal. Super dope. Is it the same as Red River? No. But there is a useless woman girl in it? And the ink drawings are art!

    Yes, i understand where you’re coming from. I like the story because it’s different than all the other romance out there. I hate that everytime Yuro does something you know something’s gonna go wrong, or how that stupid queen Nakia never dies… anyways, it’s not for everyone, but it does get better later on.

    Blade of the Immortal was solid.

    I just watched Fall of Civilization's episode on the Hittites and saw a notification for this old thread so I think it's a sign to give this a second shot.

    I don’t Think that is the case With yuri. At First its totally normal that you are Afraid but she changes to be a really strong and powerful female lead. Even kail changes because of her.if you don’t like it it’s ok because it’s your preference but I think if we were in the same situation you have to get used to it.
