I HATE EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER THAT IGNORED THE OG PRINCESS. CAUSE THE FUCK YOU MEAN YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT HER NOW THAT SHE RESEMBLES THE PREVIOUS EMPRESS. IT PISSES ME OFF. SO. FUCKING. MUCH. LIKE THAT'S YOUR DAUGHTER/PRINCESS, THE FUCK YOU MEAN YOU'RE GONNA JUST ABANDON HER ?!?!?!?!?
I FUCKING HATE THE EMPEROR FOR JUST ABANDONING HIS FUCKING DAUGHTER WHEN HE SAW THAT SHE DIDN'T LOOK AT HIM LIKE HIS WIFE DID. OF COURSE SHE DIDN'T, THATS A BABY. AND WHAT? JUST CAUSE SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING "REMARKABLE" DOESN'T MEAN SHEW DIDN'T DESERVE YOUR LOVE AND ATTENTION.
Now I don't mind the fiance that much cause he's just a kid who's in a similar position as the og princess. So he's fine.
I HATE the MLs
Even if Adel had died normally, I fucking hate how the mls are unilaterally decided that they'll bring her back to life. Uggh. The dead should stay dead. Why disrespect someone's death by forcing them back. I hate this. I hate them. I also fucking hate their personalities in general. They give me the ick and creeps, even with how obsessed they are over Adel. Its creepy. I think that going through the grieving is healthy. But these guys are just growing obsessed in their misery. You can still honor the death of someone you love without drowning in despair and obsession
I think imma have to dnf this one. I was on the fence about it cause I thought all the other elements were interesting, but these men ruined this for me. Especially since I can tell that they're just gonna continue to piss me off
I'm sooooo DNFing this.
This is clearly gonna be filled with fan service, and I absolutely hate the FL's child-like/immature behavior and personality. She seems so fucking whiny. Even if she's supposed to be a villainous, there are ways to write an interesting villain without making her annoying like this. I just feel like there was no thought put behind making her character.
AND THE AGE GAP?!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOO, FUCK THAT SHIT. 10 Years, he's 16 and she's 26. No. Its soooo gross. If we're gonna get an age gap with them still generally young, at least have the younger on in their 20's. Otherwise it feels predatory. And I feel like the author purposely made the FL that immature and ML more mature or "normal", so their dynamic doesn't feel weird. But it just feels like they're infantilizing her and not respecting her wishes.
Like I get that at the general time period that this is set, the brides hardly ever had a choice. But if they're gonna do the trope of the FL being this villainous character who purposely drives men away. There are so many better ways to execute it. At least show us the FL losing her shit, causing the ML to almost lose it tooand have her plan almost work. But then have him clock the subtleties in her expression/ body language, showing us that both: the FL IS composed and mature. And that there's more to her than what's on the surface. Show us a woman who's believably 26. And that the ML is also intelligent, strategic, and is able to be level headed in an argument. That he's much more mature, intelligent, reliable than he gives himself credit for. Show us that they're actually evenly matched, and have an interesting dynamic.
Overall I don't like how this author writes women, or at least this FL.
If anyone has read till the end of this rant, here's a cookie . And let me know if I'm right. Also please give recommendations for good stories with the dynamic and tropes that I was talking about / anything you think I'd like based off of this rant
I’m amending my review I left first to add in this: now his cousin who calls him brother is demanding marriage too? Hard no. Also, does he not have any say in anything? He can’t lay out how ridiculous both ladies are being? I think even more than your irritation with the writing for the ladies I’m getting pissed off at how weak he is…

Don’t know if you’ve tried this, but age appropriate spouse, and actual character development for both male and female characters.
There is some fan service here and there, but mostly from one character and not all present - also two season in anime form
