Me: Wow! A reincarnate that loves travel and food! This is going to be wholesome and fun!
*And then I was shot 100 times in the chest* ╥﹏╥
my poor baby. ╥﹏╥ I don't know how much I can read. He just wanted an honest life, and the ML was actually decent (not perfect but decent) at the start and now HE'S the one who screwed everything up.
I'm hoping that things don't work out for the ML.
I love this manga so much! The FL is adorable, and I love how the ML dotes on her to the point where what embarrassed him before, he does automatically without shame.
So I'm in need of a little help. There's a manga similar to this one, and I know it exists but I think it has the title in Japanese and I can't seem to find it, but I don't think I'm the only one whose read it. It's about a forest monster/witch that kinda looks like a frog and they save a young boy, but they get killed and reincarnated as a noble lady and the two reunite. I remember that she was reborn as someone very attractive but when she speaks, she sounds like old fasioned country folk.
I think it's "The Silent Daughter of a Duke and the Cold Emperor" also known as "The Boy I Loved Became the Jaded Emperor".
YES! Exactly! Thank you!
I was actually excited about this manga. An adult main character that actually looks like an adult, thinks rationally, has a clear goal, isn't a pervert, knows how to get people on his side just by being a decent boss (sad but funny), and is overall a pretty well-rounded character. Aaaaaand then the female characters come in and knocks it all in the bin. Another overly infantilized elf that is actually a granny, overly busty wizard, and at first the "Super-man" girl was normal, until she wasn't. Was that scene of the elf girl practically gooning over whipped cream absolutely necessary?
Saw this as a recommended read, so I came into this prepared for wild action, romance, and extreme play, and all I got was disappointment. All I could feel was pity for the ML.
The action was lackluster; the MC was awful to the ML straight from the start. He held information back for no reason, and instead of telling the ML, he let the poor guy fester and stew with anxiety. And though the ML's affection for the MC was so blatantly clear, he trampled all over that, and still chalked it up to them being f-buddies.
The grey-haired guy had NO purpose other than being a sucky antagonist.
And then the ending. O.M.F.G!!! IT MADE ME SO MAD! After all that, he had the gal to say "I love you"?????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! After hurting the ML like that! They should've stayed broken up. The only positive thing I can say is the art. Art wasted on a non-fleshed-out story.
OMG OMG This sh*t is too funny! I can't count how many times I've laughed reading this! My stomach hurts! XD I really need more!!!
Mikhail is such a snake! The way he puts on a smile while his crew stands deadpan done with his BS cause they're so used to it at this point. Becoming so much like his father he uses a sacred branch to beat people up!
Thought this was going to be good. The art style is rather finely detailed, but the overproportions they did for the women turned me off quite a bit. Quite obviously, this is going the harem route, which is sadly overpowering the art style and plot.
That's another thing. WHY did they include the MC being reborn? It changes nothing about the plot at all, and could've been completely omitted. It's only been brought up twice so far, chapters apart. MC is not using it to solidify his standing, he's not using it to build up the town, so what is the point?
Rereading this remembering they made an anime. I forgot how funny the story and characters are. I love the queen, I think she has to be my favorite. I adore how in love the prince is with the FL.
Be as it may, I had second thoughts on a few things rereading this with a clear head:
- Fl may be young but a little too airheaded.
- Felt that despite her being raised to be the next heir, she took too much after her dad to punch first ask questions later.
- Thinks too much with her fists. Is literally brawn over brain.
- Takes things way too casually and doesn’t think about her actions and their possible consequences. Especially now when she’s literally about to be officially wed to the crown prince and become the future queen and given multiple reminders of this fact.
- The overprotective father trope went on far too long, which then resulted the FL and ML sneaking out to the commoner “church” so I feel he has some part to blame.
- Was a corset absolutely necessary for the foreign noble’s guard to have?
- I'm all for non conflict resolutions, but there's not a single enemy? Why does each one have to be "misunderstood" or simply they had reasons? And the visiting prince and princess. The prince was showing CLEAR signs that he believed and followed the practices of mysogyny of their kingdom, and blatently chastises his sister, but then for some reason acts like a brother with good intentions at the end? Nah.
I have so much more but, commentor "trisaratops" has more pointers I agree with.
I have mixed feelings. The story is really good, and the art is decent, liking the fact that the characters actually look like people and not over the top decked out in hair, dresses. gems, and being incredibly disproportional.
I'm mostly confused about the FL's mother. TBH I was hoping that the tower master was secretly her Oppa that died for her and didn't realize it. So when her mother was revealed, I got puzzled. It doesn't make a hundred percent sense, but maybe we're gonna see what deal her mother did in order to get to the modern world.
I'm also on the fence about the Emperor's knight/guard who witnessed the FL's ability. Despite him not playing a big active roll, still a little weary of him.
And one more thing, we never really did discover what that red bar was above the FL's former fiance. Maybe a death bar?
Noooooo seriously?!?!?! I should've seen it coming, considering the cover of the Manwha, but MAN! I was rooting so hard for the white-haired guy. I dropped this when the mc went to the ML's house when his rut came early and then the "confession" bomb dropped. I would NOT have gotten back in contact with him after being called a wh*re more than once. I sympathize with the ML's past, but that doesn't excuse his current behavior. He didn't listen to the MC's concerns and pleas no matter how much MC begged. Not to mention, he's only really latching on to the MC in a very unhealthy way.
The white-haired ML was kind, thoughtful, and actually loved the MC. He was understanding when the MC didn't want to continue the relationship despite being fated mates, he never pushed him to do what he wanted, did things for the MC with no strings attached, and even rescued the MC from being assaulted by that group of Alphas.
