I went to check out the link to novel since there's only 15 chapters avaible... And what the heck? There's already so many things that weren't explained properly in comparison...
I noticed it happens often when manga is based on the novel. Well, at least here it isn't unreadable without novel, unlike some other stories.
Don't get me wrong, it's good. But novel is definitely better.
uhhh...guys...? Is it just me? Because I have a bad feeling that the spike in gate activity is caused by our MC being there... More exactly, by the cat. So probably by our MC now because she is contracted with the cat.
Also, I feel like cat might've been original princess of black flame before she gave away her name. I have another theory too, but I'm leaning more towards this one
I'll list here main events that give off second hand embarrassment SO MUCH in the beginning and when it happens. I hope it helps.
1) Trying to convince Duke to marry her (short, and at this point I didn't feel much of embarrassment yet tbh) (chapter 2)
2) Found 'egg' (It was still kinda funny) (chapter 3)
3) 'Childhood friend in love with MC' (kinda) (started to feel that cringe) (chapter 5-6)
4) Cooking (This one. This one absolutely killed me with second hand embarrassment. I was this close to abandoning it then. It was resolved in a pretty interesting way and not as embarrassing as I expected it to be. It was bad, but got through it.) (chapter 7-8)
After that? Honestly, it was amazing. I'm so glad I got through it. After the 'cooking' was resolved in chapter 8, MC started giving up on finding her 'male lead' and things got SO much better.
Honestly, I recommend reading it, if not for amazing interactions and then relationship between MC and ML then for MC and her sister because that was one of the most naturally written sibling relationship I've ever read in here.
I hope it helps any
Red haired guy is ML, right? It's not one of those cases were ML appears later yeah?
But honestly, I'm loving it. She is unhinged and strong. There is actual trauma there and characters feel vivid. I love her disgruntled expressions when something moves her when she doesn't want it to. It's like she keeps giving others chances to prove to herself that humans are hopeless, but at the same time it's like she gives chances to them to prove her wrong. It's like she still hopes but she doesn't want to. That black haired team leader? Honestly, I'd take him as ML if he were an option. Although perhaps then it would feel too much like she is just looking for opposite of her trash ex so maybe that's better.
This story feels very much like really well done hunters story with Female MC. It's such a gem.
I'm curious about the SSrank mister guildmaster. He gives off vibes of... Certain type of ML. Let's not forget that he is perhaps the strongest, mystery past, and possibly connected to her own past so checks off the boxes. He is also real handsome and...real handsome again. But I also feel he might be potential 'emotional enemy' if it makes sense.
I'm 99% sure he isn't endgame male lead, but ngl I'm unsure.
...Who am I kidding, he is not ML. But I like this part where he appears and it seems they are taking to know eachother. I'll decide what I think about him after this battle ends lol and MC says what she thought about his move.
Don't get me wrong, I actually really like the red haired guy. He is supportive, cool and his interactions with MC are great. It just, uh, doesn't feel like much romance rn. Very bro coded. But it also has great potential to turn the other way with right push. I hope it will be well handled, because if it will, it's going to be one of the better slow burns, where MC and ML don't just find each other and suddenly they are each other's one and only. Realistic, as much as story like that can be.
Can't wait for more











I'm at chapter 36 and it's starting to get a bit annoying. I think it's a good story and I kind of like both MC and ml, not to mention art (for me) feels more distinct than is currently normal and really pretty... But all those small annoyances are becoming too much. We keep seeing the original FL and that king, and yes, I get that it's to set up the story for later, but listening to them is annoying. It's small tho. (And I feel bad for OG FL's fiance) The supposed OG ML is annoying too, again, currently not terribly... But what I take as foreshadowing how annoying he is going to get is Also annoying. And now that fucking guy who started to mess with all of the businesses? And ONLY the ones our MC was behind? Actually successfully with people somehow giving back the curtains for smell that doesn't exist when they were buying those to actually sleep well??? Suddenly everyone using the thermoses acting sick???
I feel my blood pressure raising. The amount of annoyances is way bigger than the amount of the simple, sweet moments between MC and ML or even MC spending quality time with others.
(And taking away the artists won't prevent the comic from coming out?? Hello?? Miss empress If you actually won't step in here...)
I like this MC. She is actually clever, capable observant but also not experienced about this world. I want to see her character development, I'm excited for it.
But I'm so annoyed right now. Can someone tell me if it gets better soon or do they just keep taking hits?
Idk if you already reached the latest chapters or not but if you didn't then I'd like to reassure you that it gets better like she already screwed that guy who messed w her business over and just 1 or 2 chapters before the last one she was messing w the noble lady who was backing that counterfeit business up still didn't expose her tho so dw it'll get annoying ik but I feel like fl is capable enough (I just hope I don't eat back my words later)
