just caught up to the novel translations and ngl i think it was a little disappointing? this story is first and foremost a romance. my mistake for forgetting that it’s a fantasy romance novel/manhwa, nothing more than that. i was expecting a little more depth in the plot and the themes. like more depth info abt the homunculi (?), alchemy, magic, exiles, dragons, world tree, the politics, etc. but it was all really simple?? they were just used as means for the events and plot points rather than to build a foundation for the world, which can be good sometimes but i felt like there was just a lot of everything and not enough that made the world feel alive and intentional
it basically turns into a story simplified to betty does smth shitty and mc overcomes her all the way up until the end. ml becomes more of subordinate to the fl’s plans, which makes sense bc he did turn back time bc he just wanted her love more than the autonomy of not being a slave
ofc i haven’t finished the story yet but i think it’s pretty clear after reading some spoilers that what ive read so far remains pretty consistent. i think this story would’ve shone the brightest if the conflicts of the world were at the forefront. the story really loses its initial grabbing point of the homunculi’s revolution against their enslavers and the implications of that and focuses to the story of how the fl strives to gain the throne to just make reforms. there’s nothing wrong w that, just again not really what was expected
in the end, it’s another fl who ends up turning the past, using that info to gain leverage, and having to fight against her wicked sister. it does good with adding a few new things to spice up this typical progression like the introduction of homunculi though
TLDR; story is great for what it actually is, aka a korean fantasy romance, but i’m disappointed that it was a typical fantasy romance despite that being the genre lol. just want to let ppl know so if anyone goes in w similar expectations they won’t be let down
Aww thanks for the spoilers. I also thought this would be a slow burn, background type of romance with the plot more at the forefront. Also not the "reforms were done so revolution isn't necessary" conclusion lol
If you put it that way, I'm a bit disappointed too. I just think of it as Betty is the real cause of the downfall of the empire so the story is focusing more on how to counter her evil plots. And why would the homunculus revel when their living conditions are improving without them doing anything? But I agree with you. I actually skip the parts where Mikael and Eve are being lovey-dovey. Haha
And the latest development with Rosie? Cringe.
i’m actually gonna crash out. my sign to stop reading manhwa & manga because no way the artist for my ultimate favorite story has liver cancer and the story is on an indefinite hiatus i hope banana recovers well but fr at this point i just need someone to translate the novel
WHATTTT??? THIS IS ON INDEFINITE HIATUASSSS? why does it always happen with my favorite manhwas
I hope the artist recovers from this though, can't imagine what she's going through rn:(
Where did you hear the news? That’s so sad tbh I will
Completely understand if this series never continues, liver cancer is too much
Whattt :'< poor author
I hope they will recover and take as much time as they need to heal.
to ppl who haven’t read the novel, DO NOT read this if you’re expecting a smooth ride… because you are not in for one once his memories come back and will get angry and frustrated especially having to wait weeks for chapters. come back when it’s finished years from to maintain your sanity
Please give me spoilersssss
SPOILER PLEASEEEEE ┗( T﹏T )┛
spoilers below!

not sure what type of spoilers you want but once he gets his memories back he becomes a real pos he destroys smth that means A LOT to her and verbally abuses her. there’s context behind his anger ofc that’s fueled by misunderstandings and doesn’t excuse the shit. his brother is a pos too so warning abt that too. he leaves at some point but our fl ends up working for his fam which forces their interactions again. basically turns into a situation where he hates her but feels attracted to her. i won’t spoil why he hates her tho but it’s connected to him destroying things before. our fl is just gonna go through constant emotional turmoil. she gets pregnant at some point rip. he has his little redemption arc though at the end of the story?? it’s controversial tho, some ppl think it was a great redemption arc and others think that he should never be forgiven so yk. definitely an angsty story. i tried to give spoilers without actually telling every tiny detail so if u continue then it’ll still be a trip
I do not recommend if you’re not willing to forgive shitty male leads
if u guys want more detailed spoilers then you can find some on reddit!
Can i have a link where to read? I think im ready for it (≧∀≦)
I read the novel. And to anyone whoever thinks that "little redemption arc" actually did anything to redeem him—you got bad taste in men and it isn't something to be proud of. Bcuz could you even call that 1/3 of a redemption?
btw, this wasn't directed to you.
real!! that shit was not a redemption. i would’ve never forgave him if i were her
Thank you
this has got to be written by a man targeting a more male gaze but that’s okay bc this lesbian (aka me) will happily crush on the fl
Honestly i dont really care about that since the characters ARE SO WELL WRITTEN like shettt pop off. (I also love hae-in)
whaaaat i was thinking the complete opposite. Ive read MANY romances and those written by men usually sexualise the woman a lot and the man will be nerdy and/or downright ugly or plain. Here they're fairly equally attractive, none of them are sexualised and both are written equally well so i think the author has done a great job at appealing to both genders
awee im a sucker for longing for someone. sucks, i wish they would’ve had the chance to fight through a proper duel
Is this worth reading guys? comments seem iffy
I was worried too after reading the comments, but honestly I read the whole thing in one day and really enjoyed it. They get together officially on chapter 62 I think and the supernatural plot line is still very much there. Can kinda see the author setting up for a misunderstanding trope soon though
^^ agreed with the above comment its a great read up until the point where they get together (chapter 62) but the whole past life aspect is going to get stretched out SO much so unnecessarily, it's not even as interesting as the story in the current timeline. if i were you i'd drop it after 62
Can’t even remember what story this is about
the author has a new story being released on webtoon!! it’s called Miss Pendleton
im ngl i'd want eunsan too loooll he's so my type. keep yearning ian
