WTF I WENT IN EXPECTING NOTHING cos I didn't read the synopsis LOL BUT THANK GOD I STARTED

Yooo this is really cool. This is why I love sports manga lol

Oh no, she's gonna fake it til you make it

Leaving a review for this makes me feel like I'm gonna be a pick me but wtfh that plot, character stories, character roles and motivations, they're all so frustratingly shallow with no storytelling. World-building is oddly paced and written. We only learn about the world when FMC's pieces are put in place with no buildup.

1. FMC is a regressor and transmigrator, and that's tricky because it's easy to fall for writing cliche and uninteresting stories. Naturally, she's OP because in politics, information is gold. But with the writing, she mostly gets served with no conflicts whatsoever, and we can't even see how she does her impressive cunning stunts other than lying in front of the major chara. There's no proper execution of her capabilities other than her being OP.

2. The psycho men are terrible problems. I get that the Prince is a manipulative pos who wants to isolate FMC, but other hot men being like "Ooh, look, something's going around her, I want her too" and going after the FMC, it's honestly cringy and un-immersive because they feel flat.

3. What's unacceptable is: amidst all those scheming falling to places, we're wasting our time with the main leads being awkward and "subtly" flirtatious of one another. First of all, the ML falling for FMC because he's not creeped out by her made sense at first, but how he developed those feelings more deeply is oddly paced and written. And I also hate how his only roles in the plots for each season is basically just to become a simp. He doesn't feel like his own person, ultimately making him such a shallow main character. Worse is he's forceful and toxic. It wasn't noticeable for me at first, but it became apparent by season 3.

4. Then, the romance. I would understand if both leads are intentionally toxic to each other, but they're not. They're just written terribly. It's like those weird YA romance novels that disgust many people but a bit tamer. They never brought me butterflies because they're not even romantic to each other. They're like, "I have to hold back" then they suddenly went sensual at one point.... because of what? "Who is that guy? I don't know why I'm feeling jealous, but I suddenly want her on my own. I want her so much I'd even consider locking her up like her ex-husband that I saw to have traumatized her."

5. The magic... is a major facepalm. That's all I gotta say.

Are you talking about roygar

Bruh this plot is just terrible

I don't recommend. It's one of those petty and subpar stories you have to read with your brain cells turned off. Terrible plot, terrible pacing, terrible storytelling of the character relationships, making the characters come off extreme unless you just shrug everything off. Nothing's enough to make up for its flaw. As of start of Season 2, I'd rate it 3/10. The story was intriguing at first even if the FL looked like a pushover, but as soon as the real revenge plot started when she ran away from home, the pacing and schemes were huge fails. The antagonistic characters aren't even worth all those chapters. The FL and ML aren't likeable rational people, and not even the plot and no romantic scene could justify their actions. I'm all for actual villainous protagonists, but they're just asses with cringy plots.

Damn

Lol I don't believe it

Poor Sion.

Do people still read this? I dropped it midway, when they're about to graduate middle school lmao the bodies are off putting. Idk if I should pick it up

I'll never get sick of this formula lol I would rather know that he's gonna do something. So go get it. And this is gonna be a long game.

Have you checked out Stepmother's Marchen? The storytelling and visuals in that one is a solid 10/10 kinda emotional and tragic though

Spoiler about last paragraph 30 chapters in, it's revealed that ML isn't a war veteran, and it's false rumor created to hide his softie weak personality

Lol I laughed at Sabnock's open legged maximum masculine dominance while the two are both closed legs like that. I heard a funny drum sound in my head with it

Lol you talk about internet brownie points but you're just an edgy incel who loves reading creepy harem shit and using slurs. Trash of your kind deserves all insults < 33

Lol tf are you on? Do you think being racist is lesser prejudice than getting groundless insults? And poor country enjoying a story? I bet that person is some western incel who enjoys Chinese immigrants getting beaten up.

Then stop reading comics you shit. You're obviously dumb, study some fucking book.

Highly recommended. The art is beautiful, there is storytelling, and there even is an impressive world building for this fantasy world. I love how all elements are harmoniously delivered for a tragic yet sweet romantic story. It's a shame that it's gone on a long hiatus, so I hope there would be updates soon.

Anyway, the FMC has unique abilities, and these abilities were used well without being OP or lacking the existence of threats. The plot was well-developed with a non-dragging pacing. Characters were kept to maximum relevance, and none of them were as bland and simple as being naive. They had their appropriate characterization, and their motives were shown with emotional storytelling.

The ML is also likeable with a rich and emotional backstory that does not only end with him having a cliched terrible childhood so he's cold. He is trapped in a tragedy, and he's rightfully acting like an encaged victim of his fate. He's quite a complex character capable of showing a variety of emotions and thoughts, and his dynamic with the FMC is quite endearing.

The first season wrapped up cleanly, so I am really looking forward to the next season. Although the chapters say the second season started, that's not true because it's just a prequel meant to enrich the world building, which is also relevant to the main plot.

Isn't that just naive? They just let her be, and didn't even raise her with love and care. Even her sister was no better for leaving her as an outcast at school.
