this term gets watered down alot but i just want to say it, this is genuinely a good deconstruction of the villainess isekai manwha trope .
the villainess aiming to die instead of trying to avoid her death unlike all the other villainess, her the ‘love interests’ being rightfully criticized but still portrayed as extremely flawed individuals without making them overly evil or overly sympathetic (and also subverting the fact her actual love interest is just a simple knight instead of the most powerful guy in the harem), the og fl actually having a firm character development, heavy topics like depression/suicidal ideation being tackled in a okayish manner…..
honestly im probably missing alot more of what this manwha subverts (which makes i wish thered be a youtuber to analyze or review this series). but yeah this was such a good deconstruction of this trope. and also, amazing art!! and im so glad it didnt go on longer than necessary, it had a clear story to tell and was able to reach till the end
im ngl the best part of the epilogue was og edith and rhyse's ending. extremely bittersweet but atleast they found comfort with one another in their deaths, not their love interests but through a sisterhood (or yuri, im okay with either)
