Other than my bitching below about FL's idiotic attitude towards the ghosts I actually really like how the family dynamics plays out in this story.
Yes, Daddy Duke is pretty shitty but this is one of those few stories where it's realistic. The talented older kid simply overshadowed the quieter but just as talented younger kids. The Duke's mistakes was not being an attentive parent to all of his children.
Yes, FL's full blooded brother and she do NOT have the Duke's blood. They really are commoners. But the Duke has never held that against them. If anything, when shown from the Duke and the eldest's POV, they were awkwardly struggling to get closer with FL and her brother.
ALSO, the FL and ML's relationship actually starts in an understandable way. He doesn't just sudden become fascinated and find her ✨️interesting ✨️. That's such a major plus.
Aaaaand I'm sorry...actually, you know what? I'm not. Holy shit, this dumb bi...argh, no. NO. That's insulting female dogs.
She knows, and has had the experience over and over and over that ghosts are keeper of secrets. She asks the ghosts how to get ahead for a few chapters but starting in ch 11 she becomes obstinate about the ghost's help or helping ghosts, cutting herself off from invaluable information.
If anything the ghosts have to get into her face, sometimes quite literally, to point-blank tell this idiot that they have ways to help her.
She actively tells the ghosts NOT to bother her while knowing they are her cheat skill. Her life would be an infinite amount of times better if she just talked to the ghosts around her.
The worst part? It's not like she has to tell anyone else that she talks to ghosts. So her stupid justification of not wanting to talk to them because if people knew they'd call her a freak.
Like, sure, as a kid she blabbered to everyone that she did used to talk to ghosts but as she grew older she could have said she was talking to imaginary friends. Pretty much anyone would understand that.
So making a big deal out of this shit is so, so, so goddamn stupid!
Just...ugh..."smart" where?!??? Am I reading a completely different manhwa from all the other reviewers?
Otherwise, I actually adore how selfish and practical she is. If only she was smart about her abilities then she'd be my perfect FL.
