Honestly I didn't think I would enjoy it this much. I loved how the story unfolded. Action packed romance with political intrigue. It was truly entertaining. The smut was hot as hell which I didn't expect tbh. I loved the ml. He was funny straightforward. The FL was also no bullshit. They both communicated with each other. The misunderstanding didn't last long which I loved. So I would say all in all it was a good story.
The story setting was unique and I really had high hopes for this. But the execution wasn't well thought off. The romance felt very surface level and superficial tbh. The development of the relationship between the leads were sooo fast that it felt overbearing and I couldn't connect that much. Yes the alpha was a total greenflag. And he was HOT as hell with a slight old vibe. I absolutely loved him. But the romance development felt very sloppy. I couldn't feel the emotional connection.
Also I think the villain story had so much potential to explore more but it was resolved very sloppily and fast. This villain arc was very intriguing. The author couldn't explore it properly.
All in all not a bad read but I would say a wasted potential.
This was such a beautiful story but a tad bit of boring I would say. I mean it was a really well written story. Especially towards the end, how things tied up. I absolutely loved it. But it felt like for the majority of the story nothing really happened. And all of a sudden boom!! climax started. I think the grandfather's part should have cut off by half and that time should have given to the villain to flourish a bit more.
But I absolutely adored all the characters. Luca was a baby bird. He was such a sweet child. My heart broke for him.
Judith was me literally xD her expressions, inner monologues were so relatable and hilarious. I loved her the most. She was a relatable character.
Ruediger was the green planet. I loved how gentle, aloof and straightforward he was.
The romance was so sweet and endearing. It felt mature and realistic. Like two adults who had proper communication.
The concept was interesting and the execution was flat. I mean I absolutely adored the FL and ml. Their romance was so sweet and endearing. But after they got married the story got sooooo boring then I had to Speedrun it. It felt like a combination of many subplots. The main conflict was overlooked for the entirety of the story. And only then was resolved within last 10/15 episodes. It was so rushed. Also this story shouldn't have been this long. 60-80 episodes would have been more than enough.
Plus the villain had soooo much potential. I found him do interesting but his character wasn't handled properly and at the end he became like all the other historical manhwa villains, no essence 2D character. Cartoonish villain. I was very disappointed honestly











It felt like I was watching a movie. So beautifully done. For me this was a tragedy. Both the leads were extremely mentally unstable. I loved how the story unfolded. I could literally feel their emotions. My heart broke for both of them when they were suffering. Absolutely loved it.
The bonus chapter broke my heart. It felt like salt in wounds
