I'm so glad that I didn't let the negative comments affect me. I took the risk to still read it, and I can guarantee that it's so worth it.
This manhwa screams high quality; yes, the storyline, characters and their developments, the phasing, and overall details are so peak and so good!
The FL really stood her ground; she's a well-balanced character, like she may have bad and good sides, just like a normal human person, but she's actually someone that you can still admire and cheer for. She truly learnt her lessons from the past and guarded herself; she really valued herself. This time she knows her worth. In conclusion, she's truly a one of a kind.
As for the ML, just like the FL, he has bad and good sides as well, even being a born dragon. Even though he had many wrongdoings from the past, he really redeemed himself. The way he redeems himself is so good, like the author really gave an effort to show his character development. It was good!
Honestly, after reading so many manhwas with the same genres like this, I can testify that this manhwa is really one of the best manhwas out there; this is a gem for real! 10/10!
This manhwa really does have a great execution of the overall story.
The phasing as well is good. And as for the characters, they all had their own depth, and it was shown equally, and all I can conclude is that they are all victims who experienced harsh traumatic circumstances in their lives; all of them have their own struggles.
So that I like how each other character ends up in the way the endings are; honestly, maybe some are still annoyed about the ending, but everyone has really got what they wanted: the genuine love, power, and acceptance; the acknowledgement; and the belongingness. They all got their happy endings.
Unexpectedly, after reading this many times, I can concludes that they're actually perfect with each other (FL & ML), like they are the ones that are really suited for one another, they matched each other's freak. They both knew the other better than themselves.
I agreed with one of their aides who stated that those two are almost the same, like husband, like wife. They both have different but the same toxic traits and passion and deep love for each other. For some, they're messy together, but them being separated is much greatly messed up. They balanced each other. Therefore, them being together is a must; it's necessary for everything to work out. They complete each other, FOR REAL.
I agree!
I came for the smut but I stayed for the plot. This is actually an unexpected treasure.
There's no actual plot at all, EVERYTHING IS JUST A MESS.
This is a refreshing story. I love everything on it, the plot, details, and the characters.
Instead of believing those comments beforehand, I repressed my doubts and tried to read this manhwa. I tried to understand each character and the plot itself. I did what I could in order to genuinely see what kind of manhwa this is—and my conclusion is THIS IS TERRIBLE.
• The FL is so freaking weak in terms of emotions, physically, and even her intelligence; she is naive and slow. She didn't learn some lessons from her past life at all; she's not smart at all. Her expressions as well are so stiff; she just keeps crying and sleeping for real. And for everything she did, there are no signs of her being a 'villainess.' She is just like a blank canvas hanging on the wall. Honestly, I feel bad for her whole characterization.
• The ML is kind of the hidden actual main character of this story; he did everything, but when approaching the ending, he kind of got messed up, but he was able to handle it. His whole character is kind of ranging at 60 out of 100. He's a middie, but he did well.
• The antagonist of the story—that pink-haired cousin, uncle, and even that crown prince—is just blandly ended up gone without satisfaction for the readers. They're just gone; there's no feeling of justice being served, no satisfaction at all. They're just gone after every horrible thing they did. It's so awful.
• The other side characters—honestly, I found myself laughing because actually everyone is just a traitor in their own way. Like seriously, there are no worthy characters at all. Each character is irritating.
• PLOT — Oh Lord knows how I really convinced myself to continue; I tried to understand and enjoy this, but the whole plot is so messy, too much filler, too many complications with lacking details, the characters are boring, and the storyline is like chop-chop rushed and mid-boring. Not worth it.
• Overall, it's 4/10. What a waste of time...
I like the MC Taeyang, in all fairness, he's a damn good man to his women.
