So far I like how the plot is going on, it's not totally perfect but it's tolerable to read. And as for the characters—the MC Lilianna, she's cute and unpredictable, but somehow lacks of consistency and dragging herself too much, like it takes too long before she made up her mind, but I like how she changes and improves through step by step. Patience is truly a virtue even for a readers like me, I gotta wait, I know that MC have the potential. I just hope that the author won't disappoint. You go girl! Next, as for the ML, well he's kinda good as well, but I'm expecting more from him, and as for the others characters who are like mushrooms which are suddenly pop out in the scenes, are like giving inconsistency. I hope the phasing and that issue will improve by the author.
Well, it's not done yet, I'll be back and I only hope this series will be 'more' good!
All done. And all I can say is, I LOVE THIS MANHWA! ♡
Honestly, at first I was hesitant to read this at all, but I tried to challenge myself once again to read this and damn, it's all worth it. This manhwa is unexpectedly beautifully written. And the art visuals are soooo good!
Over all, I got to love this manhwa.
I hope the author will stop showing about Mincheol—like it's always about Mincheol that, Mincheol there. Like he is always shown or mentioned in every possible chances on every chapters. It is dragging the whole story and developmens towards the main story and other main characters. It's getting boring.
I guess it's much better to show the progress with Taeha and Naesu's relationship and Naesu's healing and improvements in her life.
To Author-nim, please, stop, stop and just stop talking about Mincheol, okay? And try to focus more with Taeha and Naesu, they're the ones that are more interesting and deserving to be shown and to tackled their stories, trauma and background. Just please.〈(•ˇ‿ˇ•)-→











PLOT — The plot is giving; it has its own flavor. It's raw and original, and the phasing is tolerable, and character developments are also good; overall it was well-balanced.
CHARACTERS —
First, the FL. I love how strong, tough, and calculated the FL is! She knows how to control her rational and emotional sides, and she knows her goals/priorities, and it was nice to see that she is really eager to accomplish them no matter what—which she did! I love her.
As for the ML, the emperor, he was a revelation. Yes, he is a tyrant, but I like how his character develops in every arc and how he has great self-awareness; he knows how twisted he is, but he can manage it well in order to love FL genuinely. He is always trying and doing his best to love her in a better way. I also love how freakish he is, just like the FL. They really matched each other's freaks.
I also like how he became the reason why the FL slowly heals and feels human again. He brings out the human and every side of the FL. He is the FL's ANCHOR.
I love how the FL & ML balance each other. They're really suited for each other.
Next, for the EX-blonde guy, well, I appreciated everything he did for the FL, and I felt so bad too for his sufferings, just like what the FL experienced too. I believe he really likes the FL. But everything he did was his choice even though his reason was for FL, but we can't hold it and guilt trip the FL for it. He did it on his own, and I believe that he, the FL, and even the ML are all the same victims of the circumstances.
Also I'm happy that the FL didn't and never chose him, because it's not a love that the FL has; it's actually more of pity, guilt, gratefulness, and appreciation only towards him. So it's not actually worth it. So I'm glad that they didn't ended up together. I also find irritating how sad boi he is for so long. It's too dragging and exhausting.
Next, as for the side characters, I hate those Ronans, ew. But I love those allies of the FL & ML, and I like how competent they all are, everyone has played their parts well!
*clapping*
IN CONCLUSION— I love this series. I read this three times, and I can still rank this higher.
