Story? Plot? Romance?!

by Berserkerfrog
2 years ago

Rating: N/A

FL suffers from incurable toxic selflessness. Her chronic hero syndrome causes "Male Lead" to become a corrupt dragon since she is to busy desperately saving everybody else but him, with zero regards to her mental & emotional well-being and personal safety. This has tragic consequences to her and ML both and she only realizes when it's too late. 11th hour character growth that only gets retconned at 5 minutes to midnight.

"Male Lead" is supposed to be an expressionless and emotionless dragon, but he is so non-existant in the story as an individual; for the second half of the story, he is even completely off screen while "2nd Male Lead" has far better presence/character growth. If you only read the second half and didn't know what happened in the first, you'd think the human prince, who was an antagonist in the first half, is the hero of the story on a road to redemption while the dragon is a background Sauron figure/plot device they only talk about and show in one second scene.

All in all. FL started as selfless fool who MUST save everybody, only to suffer the tragic consequences of her own kind, reckless choices. ML was more of a plot device than an actual character, the smallest of side characters had more character/growth/presence than him. Male Lead is in the story to be a doom device and nothing else. The most interesting was "2nd ML" who as a child suffered tragic losses, was groomed by false friends and was actually a chess piece; he made realistic, mature choices, realized what he did wrong and suffered the real consequences of his own actions without complaint like a true stoic. FL hurls abuse at him with her words while he desperately ties to keep her alive in the second half of the story in order to bring her to "Male Lead" who has gone mad of-screen and is destroying the world. Only when it's too late does she realize where she went wrong and tells him that, if she was ever a dragon herself, she would choose him as her fated partner. In the last moments before FL has to reset the timeline in order to undo the apocalypse brought about by ML , who was made insane by FL's desperation to save everybody, 2nd ML-the only character who had any growth, says "she made her choice to be with the dragon and I want her to be happy forever". Then, FL "fixes" ML with her love, they reset the timeline and in the epilogue, FL and ML are once again selfless and emotionless, all their character progression gone, while 2nd ML is a good king who does everything for his people's benefit, but never marries because his soul remembers the dream of previous timeline where he fell in love with FL on his road to redemption.

Came for inhuman male lead and human female lead romance, was disappointed by lack of progress of their "romance". Stayed for the tragic character of human prince turned fine king.

There is only so much patience a reader has against a female lead like this one.

That is one hell of a bad female lead! I mean, villains don't do as much damage as she does.
She is constantly whiny, ignores the reality around her, and is a constant source of trouble. She has one job. ONE! Lie low for a year and let the dragon leave. But no, sir! In ine year, she travels across the globe exposing the dragon to potentially all sorts of bad people and lo and behold! The dragon's gone bat shit crazy!
Dumb b*****!
A rock would have been more useful and reliable than her!

Dropped this at chapter 32

by moonmystery

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

Art: 3/10 The art is truly below-average... It just dampens the magical atmosphere the author is trying to create. The art doesn't live up to the author's vision.... A huge pity

Story: 5/10 It's predictable. The story of a dragon imprinting on a pure-hearted girl means lots of enemies and near-death situations for both. But unfortunately, the writing doesn't fully capture the beauty/tragic nature of an immortal pure abstract being gaining sense of humanity. That slow budding and eventual devastation is depicted very well so far...

Characters: 1/10 The dragon is like a wall. He rarely has any valuable screen time. The girl MC is a dumb, naive kid that doesn't listen to her advisors. She claims to want to protect the dragon, yet keeps putting everyone in danger. The entire cast is just frustrating to read about....

Translation: 4/10 It's annoying to read a story with so many misspellings and misused words.

It's such a pity that this story has so many shortcomings since I really do like the premise. Unfortunately, with settings as grand as this one it's exponentially harder to live up to the readers' expectations. :/

Mediocre so far (c45)

by PZcolo

Rating: 3.5 / 10.0

I dislike the world building here, not because it's not interesting but because it's poorly built and explained, at least imo. All has a rather unappealing feeling of being arbitrary, since the author does not explain the world, how it works, what it's rules are and so on but rather just introduce little bits of knowledge when convenient to his storytelling. This creates, in me at least, the feeling that the author changes the setting and world at will rather than have it constructed and work on a stable foundation. I deeply dislike this.
As for the main characters, I don't like them either but I can accept them, they are pretty well defined since the beginning and their changes are slow, proper, I may not like how or why they do this or that but they make sense (except for the most important decision Reana takes, to follow Kairak, I can't make sense of that desicion, much less given when it's made and how Reana is not oblivious to the reasons that lead to that point), so I'll reserve my judgement after seeing how they develop. As for the secondary characters, since as I said above the world feels arbitrary the same goes for them, they act seemingly incoherently and the reason is sometimes explained later, this is accentuated since they all seam to have hidden agendas, again giving the feeling that the author just makes it up as it goes.
So in short, if the author really has the world defined and has the story already thought out, then the problem lies in his inability at the time of presenting it to the reader, otherwise, if he doesn't, the apparent mess of the story and chars actually makes sense.
Dropped, tried hard to end Season 1 but couldn't. Might try other time.

This is one of my favorite WEBTOONs it has everything I love in a story!! However, there's slow updates which is kind of disappointing even though it seems to already be complete.

Great webtoon

by Tanniaotaku

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

Both the story and the art are ideal for fantasy/adventure enthusiasts. One of the best webtoons out there at the moment, if you ask me.

Also, ignore the the silly critiques below regarding the protaganist's personality. Reana is a great character that slowly develops. It is actually very refreshing to see a kind and gentle female lead in a story, with the abundance of loud-mouth tsunderes that are painfully overused in manhwa and mangas now-a-days.

I also like the fact that the male lead, Kairak, is very unique. Definitely not your average main character, which makes the interaction between him and Reana all the more fascinating.

Definitely worth the read!

Good story but really silly female

by KylAnd

Rating: N/A

Like i said - the story was interesting... like really good, but sadly they made a very good female character into a very stupid one (im sorry i don't know what else to say). Her priorities are weird... she is linked to the last of the "free" dragons and what do you do... go and broadcast it to the world.... Seriously!! Are you trying to get yourself captured/enslaved all so you can appease your guilt. Imagine what you would be forced to do if you really were captured... more harm than good. Ugh! Why do storytellers create such unrealistic characters.

Not as good

by rhin33

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

It's not that I dislike this webtoon but I don't like it either. The fantasy element, dragons, romance is all good however the way it is webbed into the story is unappealing. For starters what's up with these characters? They are all so depressing with their stories about slavery, revenge and struggle for power. There are almost no lighthearted characters. Reana is a bit of exception but she is just a plot device so I don't really empathize with her. Kairak is like a stone, it will be quite long until his character start influencing the story directly. The reporter and his Akoon were nice but... one was killed the other turn to revenge........ >>
There is the point that there are too many characters as well and the plot can't handle them skillfully enough. That may be the reason for the slow story progression and the occasional flashbacks.
I can't rate it more than 7 (6 even but, oh, well). That is up to the current 103 chapter.
