the previous nanny and MC's only genuine family makes me weep
their promise from so long ago is finally fulfilled to protect the children, it also symbolizes an excuse for MC to do what she wanted to deep inside - live a "normal" life.
Even in death her grandmother figure is guiding MC away from the path of vengeance and onto actually lviing life
u can tell this was written by women for women cuz being the top is seen as the "better" one
like no ma'am we have a horrible shortage of tops :[
Also a dude here. Most Yaoi Manhwa and Manga is written for women lol. However, some authors are a lot more informed about the lgbt community and the ins and outs of relationships, anal sex, etc. than others. There is an increase in verse characters being created but they're just not as common yet.
But it's all fantasy. You'll likely never see douching, enemas or psyllium husk gobbling. I just take it for what it is and have a nice time with the art and the *drama*
i wish the story would focus more on the characters and their interpersonal relationships.
Why is romance taking up like 4/5ths of the story when it's just generic slop?
MC's mother is PRISTINE character writing. She's strong and powerful while embodying feminine traits which is fucking rare in this genre.
Most strong female leads just have outside factors making them strong (born into nobility, royalty, born with hidden OP magic, using themselves to get strong men, etc).
MC's mother manages to avoid all those shitty tropes and still be a fucking badass bitch, but also a loving and fragile mother at the same time witjout conflicting her character.
The village and how the war formed their community of helping travellers until they stay or find their own path is AMAZING. The village head's behavior towards the nobles being more crass thanks to him knowing his worth and his age making him more risky is great.
Heteronormativity piss me off, but it's represented in a realistic way considering this is a korean media.
Anyways MC and ML romance is mediocre and we can find hundreds of "strong happy woman helps emotionless man find his emotions" stories, so this one has SO MUCH LOST POTENTIAL and amazing stories they could have developed instead of this romance slop.
mc confess love to teacher as a child
fcuking dropped
this is why isekai romance is complicated.
Adult Mc in a child body + a child of his own age on the current timeline = bad
Adult Mc in a child body + an adult of his own age like his past timeline= also bad
That's why I'm an advocate of never putting romance in a perfectly good regression(specifically back to a child) anime or manga.











female characters that aren't creepily hypersexualized and an accessory that exists only to crush after mc woahjj
Right?? That is usually the first criteria to find out if a story with a ML has the potential to be gold
