There were instances that could’ve delved deeper in the characters and the plot.. I hope this doesn’t end up as the common “all characters have lost all personality and relevance beyond helping and praising me, the main character” story. I like that this story sheds light on the narrative that being special is a curse. Most stories I’ve read may have characters that hated being special, but at least in their they had benefits or were looked up to by society. Here, everybody’s corrupt and greedy. It’s realistic. They’re solely war objects. Nobody asked to become a guide or an esper and get deployed on the battlefield where nobody gives a flying shit about them. MC carries a great responsibility she didn’t even want and I look forward to reading her journey
Golden read. Oh my god!! Nothing can amount to this!
1. I LOVE Richelle. She’s so beautifully written and drawn. My queen!!!!
2. The plot twists all made sense… the novel author knew what they were doing, i wish i thought of this concept earlier than they did cause they’re so genius..
3. Allen… oh, allen..
4. Man misses his partner and makes it everyone’s problem
5. I love you Richelle… please……. pleasee…………
This has to be one of the best reads i’ve had yet.
To begin, I like how realistic this story is. People argue that it seems misogynistic in a way that her life and her revenge is on a man, helped by a man, surrounded by men. Don’t get me wrong, it is frustrating, and as much as I hate the patriarchy, this manhwa was set obviously centuries ago. Lorena had no other way to work around the patriarchal system, she weaponized a man because there was no other way for society to take a woman seriously. A man fends off another man. Women don’t scare men, they should, but men don’t care. Another, I like how fragile and broken Lorena is. She’s no 24/7 heartless girlboss and I like that about her. It shows that no, a person can’t change overnight, and even if they do, it doesn’t change every part of them. Lorena doesn’t hyperventilate because she wants to. She doesn’t panic because she has to look small, fragile, and a woman that needs a man, it’s because she’s seriously traumatized from what happened. Anyone who tries to bend the narrative to her feeding to the “weak woman” trope feels a bit misogynistic to me.
Vaye is an abuser. End of story. Yes, it IS pitiful he chases after her, but are we seriously forgetting what he’s done? He thinks his woman is a possession. He could’ve married anyone else, but chose the happy, prettiest girl everybody wants and had it for himself. He approached her with the downfall of her country in mind, he knew what would happen, and still, he chose Lorena. That isn’t love. He’s just fucked up. Don’t get me started on the 7 years too. “Oh, but Lorena didn’t communicate either so it’s a mutual thing!!!” He TOOK her, placed her in a house far away from her country, and he dares think “wait why isn’t she singing like i thought she’d be.” Sure, he loved her, but it was twisted and toxic. One that was shit from the start. I like how the story didn’t bring them together. He does not see Lorena more than a woman.
To my favourite character, Mikello!
I like how he doesn’t change drastically when he realizes that a deity DOES exist. I like how he accepted that, and Lorena didn’t try to convince him prior. I’m no republican.
Overall, this is a great story. I finished in like, 5-6 hours. There is some stuff that’s forgotten, like her other maid who was shot. Her brother. All that. Good shit!!
the review 2-3 reviews below me said give it s chance and fuck no i'm never doing this shit again
angst is nonexistent
arcs are 1-3 chapters long
every scene is to make the mcs look pretty snd kind
bg characters have no life
xinlu's so annoying and since everyone hates his guts ill distract him with my big loose booty
Human characters, human dialogues, human pace. I like. I don’t know if I relate to ML or MC the most.
The story was bland and I'm surprised nobody's pointing it out lmfao. It was fine at first. Bad boy x Good student tropes are common, and I only picked this up to be entertained. This didn't even entertain me.
Student patrol guy is nothing more. They tried giving the delinquent depth and the attempt is sad. These characters are made into a trope, not the other way around.
Ask me who I found interesting the most and I'll say the bully. Sure he's fucked up. I don't support his actions, but he's intriguing.
Tldr only the bully had potential the others were just shallow and tweaked to go with the narrative.
I loved the story. Characters were relatable and made sense. Mc wasn’t reduced into some fragile bottom who needs an ass pounding everyday. Ml has weird flaws, but hey, at least he’s got a big dick. Andy’s wrong but I like him the most. Nice story
