Guess I’m in the minority. I’m digging this story. I’m more into the plot rather than the romance, and I think it’s fair.
The crown prince would be the male lead in another story but, the ml knows his place and doesn’t interfere with Bianca’s shine. Def not the perfect romance between them, but I think he’s a good anchor for Bianca.

And Maria…I will delegate how I feel to Bianca. I mean, Maria was basically surrounded with the warmth she wished for and her mom getting better. She probably didn’t even wanna consider that warmth to be the reason her mom died. And she was told it was cakes that killed her mom and was given a forged autopsy report. As well as people she trusted whispering to her that Bianca was the murderer. Lowkey, her catching the tea comment was interesting since even I didn’t catch it.

I like these flawed characters, and i enjoyed the mystery.

The best relationship? No. But I’m here to be entertained

First time I knew this would end bad and still read and cried. God it’s a miracle she survived that long, I think I’d have tapped out way before she did.

Imagine someone isekais into this manhwa. What would the plot be lol.

love her motivation. It isn’t I gotta survive, I need to make this story happen, it’s I fucking hate the emperor, and starting to hate the prince, and I will get revenge with my husband and bring them down.
And the duke is such a good partner for her. He can handle the eccentric part of her, as well as rely on her. They are able to trust each other even when stuff kinda gets between them.

I like it. I like the mystery of wtf is going on w the prince, what happened to the mom, and the different relationships going on.

I enjoyed how they showed her pregnancy and didn’t just stick it on to the end. It was cool.

I think the pace was good for this and I like the story

I liked how they separated because that truly was what they both needed in order to accept each other. I wish there was more after that, yk like them slowly getting into a relationship. When lily wrote that she is able to forgive him, them starting like it’s a new relationship would have been better. All that has been between them was misunderstanding, sorrow, guilt, and regret, they need to start anew. The started to write letters to each other, it would have been sweet to see them going into a dating phase and learning about each other that way.

I wish that part was shown. We had a whole story of those two hurting, I wish we could have seen more happiness from both of them.

But ig one thing I didn’t like was how simple the final “battle” was and how the Everette’s were brought down. What happened to that cool creepy ass artificial spirit? I’d feel like that should have been the big battle and then see Owen suffer and die.

Turned out the only one who was loyal to him w/ selfishness was Lottie, and cuz he knew she was smart he abandoned her. Even if he did love her, not visiting her for 5 YEARS??? He didn’t truly love her at all. I wish she could of berated him more but, death is a fitting end

That he put a ring on that creepy boi

Jk I love them. Usually I’m kinda adverse when the guy is in self denial for so long, but like, it didn’t keep kakeru from being a good partner. Satoshi is batshit crazy but in a cute way, and kakeru is a jerk but in a sweet way? Like even in the last two vols when he was like “I’m only w him for the sex”, bro completely understood him and put in effort to take care of him.

Basically they match each others freak to the point that the relationship is more healthier than others I’ve read. Hope the author gives another vol ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

That i genuinely skipped over the sex scenes cuz i was so invested.

It really got into how rotten the corruption and injustice was, and how just looking the other way leads to letting horrible crimes and suffering fester.

And the title really was accurate. No matter how much ms Jo thought she controlled everything, she boiled down all these complex people into game pieces forgetting how strong people can get to survive, just like her.

And I love the main two characters, they really fought to just live peacefully.

Ahhhhhh I like these kinda plots. Plots that make me skip over the sex cuz so invested. Dreadful night also fell into that category

    True these are so good

Boo June 24, 2026 1:02 am

Not a satisfying ending. Like gurl, odette literally tried to kill u. Sure she repents but like not enough??? And there was so many things that could have been better fleshed out. Like the mls personal relationships, girls business, the characters (like the title has the friend in it, why did she become a background character? She just fucked off). And the villians had potential but it ended to easy. Ughhhhh.

The thing I like is how ml isn’t just ~mysterious~ or cold or something like that. He had his professional parts and then childish parts and i thought that was cute. He and the mc bickered a lot and the way he is to his friend and “ex”-friend is fun. But I wish it was more fleshed out.

Ya, the story could have had more depth in the different plot points but just didn’t.

Boo June 18, 2026 10:21 pm

Where the main character seems normal and starts out funny but there are crumbs of their personality that don’t seem like a big deal but as the story goes on and you learn more and more about the main characters background those little things are a big deal.
And the plot is plotting.

But seriously. If my PET FISH were stolen I’d be stalking that building and scheming to get them back. At least the officer is taking care of them, for some goddamn reason.
And guk…def a handful. Like y is he so petty lol.

But ya im gonna look for the novel. I cannot be left on a cliffhanger (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
