I'm honestly wondering if the artist has difficulty drawing sex scenes? Not them being like morally uncomfortable or anything like that, because they definitely wouldn't have the drug and violence aspect of this, but like they don't draw it very well???
Or they might be purposefully waiting to share the rated scenes in a separate manhwa, which is something I've seen quite a few manhwas start doing to get some extra earnings
I think that Mildred is handling this well.
While Mildred does show more attention to Ashley, I believe that it's not based on Mildred knowing that she's Cinderella, but because she's finally realized that Ashley has been neglected ever since her mother died.
For Iris and Lily, they are educationally and emotionally matched with their age. But Ashley is more immature despite them all being around the same age.
If you have a 17 year old and a 10 year old, you're gonna provide more care to the 10 year old because they are not self sufficient while the 17 year old is. This is what it's like for Ashley. She's still a little kid mentally which is really sad.
With how the author is characterizing Ashley, I would not be surprised if this story ended with Ashley being the very last person to find a pair, or Ashley not getting one at all.
The only critique I have of Mildred is that I wish that she would've explained this to Iris and Lily much earlier, but she probably didn't notice that it was bothing Iris so much.
Yiyoung's friends are so amazing! It's so often that side characters are nothing but filler or bland but this manhwa put so much care into the characterization of everyone and I love that
