i just binge read the story with an open mind because of the low ratings. every time there is an interesting take on certain stories with a toxic ml, it’s immediately dragged through the mud. this manhwa is no exception.
the story is great as it features many complex yet well written characters. despite being a slave, dawn is highly intelligent and has excellent survivor’s instinct. she is observant and calculating which helped her survive as a maid thus far. even though she is living in a foreign country where she is constantly looked down upon, she still wants to see the land flourish and become stronger.
i honestly don’t like jefar as he’s stuck in his old dated beliefs and only sees dawn through a single lens. he says he wants to see the ml be a good ruler, trying to protect him from being executed for being with a slave, yet i personally think he’s the one holding the ml back. while i do understand his wariness, including the time period they’re in, he’s being narcissistic and completely unhelpful.
the ml is toxic, yes, but that honestly doesn’t bother me. wanting a male character who is 100% a green flag is a red flag in and of itself, we’re humans and we all have flaws. he is cunning, calculating, possessive, obsessive and intelligent. he is also powerful and doesn’t discriminate people as we’ve learned from his convo with jefar. those are all qualities that i enjoy. i honestly thought that he was gonna be a mindless, abusive tyrant from the comments but unfortunately a lot of people just hate on a character like the ml.
i’m having fun reading the story. the translation could use some work, a bit of improvement with the artwork and less censorship during intimate moments but great story overall.
read up to ch33. the story was fun, fresh and exciting in the beginning but then it quickly followed the footsteps of typical isekai tropes so i ended up getting bored fast.
Because that's the story she got stucked in as . The direction is acting more stereotypical because she's staying longer in that world and we're reading it.
i understand that but it could’ve been done differently.
But IT is different, she's even trying hard to break free from those stereotypical move, she's not bounded by the story, but she needs to comply coz what's driving her from complying all those system missions was so that she can get back to her original world. Your free to drop it tho.
not happy that the og princess is back. they’re unnecessarily making things complicated.
I agree. There's already enough to deal with, this is just not needed, imo.
the translation was so good until ch 9 and then it became terrible.
Exactly, waiting for better translation ╥﹏╥
DAAAAAAARRRRLLLLIIINNNGGG!! GUESS WHO’S BACK FROM THE PSYCH WARD!!
Your comment made my day (≧∀≦)
yeah, no i cant continue this manhwa. the black haired guy is a total dick and i fucking hate him. the brown haired guy should be with his other partner. he’s saying time will heal this then won’t it be better to let it fix your relationship with your ex?
i’m happy this is back but i’m not happy with the og villain possessing her old body back. i get that it’s so she can kill Arielle but i’m seriously not in the mood to see her mistreat others.
