I just binged-read this after missing so many updates, and thereās honestly way too much I wanna say!
But I figured Iād just pour my thoughts into one thing:
Bellezac/ballsack lol - I totally donāt agree with forgiving him or giving him an easy way out, but I do think he deserves some sort of chance at redemption. Not that Iām trying to excuse his actions, because what he did was still wrong. But at the end of the day, I think a lot of his behavior was shaped by bad parenting and emotional manipulation.
I just think every child deserves to be raised in the right kind of environment, surrounded by the right people who can help them grow into the kind of person theyāre capable of becoming. It's at least nice to see he's living in exile. His father though, is a lost cause.
I totally agree. It feels sad in a lot of manwhas when a child gets a punishment for being raised a certain way. Ultimately kids are still growing and theyāre always gonna repeat what the adults they trust are saying.
When I read Ashtarte my biggest takeaway from it was how the sister just going along with everything the MCs family was doing got the biggest punishment and was forgotten almost right after
I feel conflicted, Iām sorry ā
Itās fluffy. Iāve always liked childrearing/famfan manhwas just as much as I love my rofans, and I think thatās why I started liking this when I first began reading. Iām already at chapter 87, and I rarely drop something once I start, but I think itās too fluffy? Or maybe itās just me?
Theyāre all cute, adorable, funny, and Iām like awwwwee
but then Iāve been feeling like that for 80+ chapters already. Itās just everyday life with the FL being loved by everyone around her. I donāt really have a problem with that, and she deserves all of it, but sheās waaayy too loved. I mean, most famfan/rofan manhwas go that route anyway (with the FL being showered with love), but⦠I donāt know, I just canāt seem to put my finger on whatās missing.
Not to mention, the supposed āstrongest-warmonger-duke-of-the-northā looks more like a giant, shy teddy bear who canāt express his love. Gosh, he even makes cute desserts. Like⦠where did the character build-up go?
I know sheās the FL, so the spotlight naturally goes to her, but at this point I feel like I wanted to see the plot actually move forward. Theyāve dropped hints that the duke canāt have kids yet. They mentioned that the emperor was plotting something, but there havenāt been many scenes showing the emperor actually doing anything. They also said the FL has blood ties to the emperor, so having her bear an heir would allow him to control the duchy, but it feels like they hinted at something more complex behind it. Like there are powers at play behind the scenes (otherwise the political marriage alone wouldāve solved that part).
Like Iām dyyyyiiinngg to know what the bigger plot is here, but theyāre too busy attending festivals and eating food

I just binge-read this and I wanna say I'm sorry to the emperor for being biased at first. He was red-haired and was being an asshole during the early chapters. I thought he was a villain in this story and this was due to other manhwas usually depicting red hairs as villains. That was totally biased of me. I can see he loves his brother so much










So badassss and raaare
