Only went up to Chapter 2. The literal sexual assault left a bitter taste in my mouth but I was hoping for an elegant resolution. Then I see this guy- heart of eyed and dumb of ass- genuinely beating his meat and talking some, " He's different from other alphas ♡ ". Like do the suppressants mess with your brain, dude. He raped you!!! He just met you and raped you! He invaded your space to rape you! He is maybe a stalker who wants to rape you! He raped you in your workplace within minutes of meeting! But because he didn't actually stick it in, he's different? Right okay sure.
DNFed so hard. Maybe in my next life I'll skip a stage in evolution and become someone who enjoys this slop.
I would have just read a hentai if I knew the author was gonna be jerking me around this much. I stand in solidarity with the poor translators who have dedicated their skint time on earth to this load of bull.
1. Hate Damien. Hate Raymond. Hate Agnes. Hate Hazel. Hate the Saintess. Hate the Emperor. The only one of the main characters that I don't hate is Kylo, but that's because he's such a nothing burger of a ML that I can't find anything to dislike. I like Sirius more but he's not in it for long- which is great because the author would find some way to make me Hate him.
2.The author really turns this into a FL pampering story. You can tell cuz she never does anything but enjoy herself and fawn over Kylo. She never trains her holy powers. She never actively looks for a solution to THE END OF THE WORLD???? She just goes, "I'll make everyone love Kylo <3" Okay? And then what? The WORLD IS GONNA END!!! DO SOMETHING!!!
3. There are no female characters in this except her. Diana? Who the fuck is that? She's her brother's love interest with like 6 panels total. The girl in the Black knights with her is basically a pet. Lilliana alternates between being comically evil (summoning demons, really?), pickme-ish, and completely stupid. And Hazel is actually a guy, who- you guessed it!- is in love with Agnes. Because everyone is in love with Agnes.
4. Agnes forgot she had holy magic till like 86 or something. Like bro?
5. Forgotten world building. You reincarnated into a fantasy steampunk world with magic and you A. Don't explore the fantasy. B. Don't travel by airship or train (shouldn't the military be using steam powered transport that is faster than horses and also does not tire?) C. Only have two types of magic? D. Magicstones are only used for weaponry. In a (usually) peaceful, prospering empire? Nobody invented an air fryer or something?
Verdict: 3/10. If you like shitty worldbuilding, inconsistent characters, dragging plotlines and rushed endings, then this Manhwa is for you!!!!! ♡

Y'all don't read this.
I clearly hate myself because I didn't drop it even after the prince accused Mia of cheating on him while she was being assaulted. I read far enough to know that the "ruthless prince" doesn't even punish the guy for very long. He makes a big show: "I'll hurt him but I won't finish him off because of Mia's kindness" [SIDEBAR: why the FUCK does Mia plead for this dude???], then they allude to some torture and you know what? The guy goes home and continues abusing his wife and son. Wow.
Everyone in this story has the memory of a goldfish. Pigtails Mcgee comes back chapter after chapter to continue bullying Mia, even after being exposed at every turn. The story alludes to her father pulling some strings to cover it up, but I'm sorry? What nobleman has the power to cover up the abuse of the Crown prince's fucking fiance? Either the imperial family is in debt or the story structure is weak.
I really wanted to like this but it is just too frustrating to read. At least the art is decent. The plot is ass and I hate how Mia's abuse is made to seem comedic at times. Pigtails tries to cut off her legs??? Then she becomes a gag character after?? Do I not get the joke or something? It doesn't work since Mia has been on-screen tormented to the point of having scars and a prosthetic leg.
Maybe it would have worked if the story was about how Mia is too strong to bully despite her miserable status.
And maybe if the prince was likeable; he starts off as a tyrant then turns into a bumbling kindhearted ruler without so much as a heads up.
This is really just a whump story. Angst with no end in sight. All hurt no comfort. Read this if you enjoy the idea of a perfect victim who takes all the abuse, and never blames anyone because it's all her own fault for deserving it.
