Read this as a recommendation from another comment. Thank you so much
Started off strongly & made me weep in an instant , cried utmost every major angst point & some minors too. There's one thing that didn't irk me was there was hardly any shouting yelling FL & ML was comically not stoic throughout the read. He's very expressive!
First of all , I was very much in disbelief of the accusations ML kept throwing towards FL , like, brother she was a young woman raised in aristocracy how would she handle trauma of grief better than what she was taught as? But as I read more i felt that yes naivety & ignorance is not a good sign if a person wanna be shown as a victim. I felt that her suic attempt was justified, because I for one thought she kinda brought this on herself, leaving her no way out & being of no use to someone else like left without any purpose except bring misery to your surroundings. Yet ofc she doesn't deserve that she wasn't raised as a quitter & i felt disappointed in her taking that route . I almost believed it's gonna turn into regression plot. But thank God it didn't.
But boy oh boy this author made her redeem so well with not only divorcing that relationship, as well as finding her a path to redeem her house's atrocities into a name that will not become stained anymore. I cried when ppl started supporting the Rosenberg name again , idk why it felt like yes she's done it (without ML's help for once in this historic troupe) she's some one who i would have admired & made a role model of. Really
Heiner , I don't feel much better when I saw his tortured parts but the obsessive nature that was ironically his own decision, was a breathe of fresh air. I find that most authors torture ML once & keep torturing fL's throughout the story , but this one was a reverse & me being a strong FL fan has finally turned a new leaf , if anything i cried more for his parts . It's incredibly sad how obsession gave him chances to stay alive & move forward. The lines 'my life has been extended again ' after everytime she says she looks forward to seeing him again urghhh I can't... I'm crying again .
One of the best works I read in my life. Truly wonderful. Also the depiction of war & it's desolation it brings on the civilians life is just too good. It does remind me of that one kdrama. It's good too. I hope our manhwa/novel couple will remain together forever unlike them :( Beautiful designs btw, loved the character designs of every one special.
5 stars 100/10 writing, 200/10 art
Haha i finished it in under 24 hours woohoo
Good plot + perfect amount of suspenses
Execution could have been better from FL side.
She gets to know a secret but doesn't act quickly because she doesn't trust the Magician or the Duke because they are supposedly gay and would not hurt the 'evil twink' (haha borrowing from the comment section) , she also didn't help the queen as much as she should have. There's someone who likes the queen but queen still ended up alone and i didn't like that it didn't involve a Yuri Route too Justice for the Queen
The kid is unnaturally the reincarnation of the evil magician so why does he goes fond for his Evil fathers... So sickening. Worry about the mother queen kiddo.
Im really liking the infamous 'Transmigrator goes back to their world along with the ML(s) they have relationship with' troupe. And yes it's unfair they didn't took Sir Mio back but someone has already said that 'one husband is enough'
Girls this is not Stockholm syndrome cause she didn't get attracted/attached with him during her captivity. Infact she was already in love with him since her childhood/teenage years. And will like him again after a long very long time. Forgiving him is impossible but she does feel lonely so she let's him in (in her life as well as her bedroom)
Spoilers: She decided to go see him but she was already exposed to be a rebel's famous daughter who has killed innocent civilians in bombs and what not...and mainly Grace Riddle was known as the daughter of Leon's father's killer. And there was a risk of him hunting her down. The grudge and negetivity Leon has is lil bit justified. But obviously the non-con stuff is his personal sin. The redemption is good cause it was just sex for both of them thankfully and emotional hurt like forced pregnancy, cheating/jealousy was a bigger hurdle to cross. The loneliness* was also key role. Both emotionally and against the rebels. Being a lonely woman with a kidnapped child is not easy.
Since after pregnancy there's no more non con stuff We'll see a better change in this PWP genre and then hopefully there's no more misinterpreted Stockholm syndrome talks.
I also thinks this ending was best for this story. Jjk will treat Dan right from now on and very preciously. they will sort out misunderstandings faster next time. This is what dating phase of ambiguous endings couples is like and we can judge JJK only after the following days in their relationship is revealed. But it's not hard to imagine .
The ppl who are not fond of ambiguous endings usually find the 'and they lived Happy ever after' fake and wants a story till the Protagonists grow old and pass away. But I'm satisfied with this much.
Me personally think it was not rushed.
1. In the way past even before depression, Dan was 'handled' lovingly, (just kisses nothing much but i felt it was to make the foreplay lessen the dislike Dan felt for the sex with his personal emotions, which paid off cause Dan was actually liking the sex later) so author made Jjk doing foreplay now, so it's not hard to guess Jjk was introduced to humanity and will not repeat his old ways after they start dating.
2. The whole 'Dan can't live alone after his grandmother' narrative is easily solved with him having colleagues and friends now. Albeit it will take time to replace one Emotional support for another, but it won't be a big issue
3. There's no 'i need to get a satisfactory sex the night before my match jinx' any more. And let's not forget he couldn't get it up for anyone other than Dan so if he wants to keep it up he needs Dan. He'll treat him better.
4.Theres more happy moments like Jjk teaching dan wrestling and going on dates etc. so it's not gonna be just physical. Theyll fall in love eventually and think about future
Jjk was not redeemed but defuffed with physical disabilities and that's also one way of making the Tops with Low EQ suffer, imo.
So i don't think it's a rushed ending.
The only things to keep curiousity over are stuff that didn't happen even remotely Example their coming out to their friends reactions, Jealous encounters, celebrations, etc. which I'm not interested in. Cause rich guys in fictional bl Doesn't have that 'being gay, bad!' narratives
But my only request for Mingwa are for side stories about the side couple, Yoongu × Heesung , unfortunately even their story is also ended with potato dabbling in junior artist roles for heesung's movies. And I want Moreeeeee for this couple. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ ┗( T﹏T )┛
I still can't believe this has 65 side stori chapters 65! That's like half the main story lol
Yes in the novel. 4 epilogues + 65 side stories on Ridibooks https://ridibooks.com/books/297043476?_rdt_sid=collections&_rdt_idx=14











The edge of Ambiguity. I'm on that edge of unknown.
Just kidding i know SY will unalive himself one way or another (my prediction, not spoiler)
