Some good things, some bad things, overall mid tier

by StellaStar1

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

I love this trope (the secret baby), so I am a bit biased, but this was one bumpy ride. Some things were okay, some things were so below par it's sad. The art was weird and very polarizing, at some points great at some points so disproportionate it hurts. But the story was all over the place. I understand this isn't a serious political manhwa that aims to give a nuances, profound insight into a problematic monarch and the he revolutionaries that want their own way and in many cases are no better than the despised monarch, and I did not expect too much from this storyline, but the pacing and the story plot is too inconsistent. Alverre as a bad guy was actually pretty interesting, but Duke Crescent and his sister were cliche villains I dislikes immensely. But, IMHO; the biggest turn off here was the Elan-Emperor relationship. it was somehow too dry, to boring, too... Not developed enough. IMHO; the whole main point of this manhwa should have been Elan's change of heart towards the Emperor. Everything should have been pushed into second place to make this a high quality plot line. Everybody came to read this manhwa not for the political and court intrigue, but for Elan's problems and how she solves them - she becomes a love target of an obsessive Emperor she doesn't even know, he manipulates her, she falls for him, she gets pregnant, she runs away, she raises the children alone, he gets her back, she has to come to terms with what really happened... This was somehow pushed to the backburner to develop the cliche political story, and I disliked this very much.

I wanted more Elan and Emperor moments, more depictions of their difficult but at times sweet relationship, more moments with the kids, and less political drama. This was the miss the gist of the story, and the manhwa suffers a great deal. Also, more humanizing of the Emperor, more display of how he himself is a victim of circumstances, how he had to play the "Game of thrones" just to keep alive, and this made him into a twisted personality, was sorely needed, but we don't get this nearly enough.

However, as I love yanderes and secret children, I found this pretty okay, despite all the flaws, and they are not small, let me tell you. But still, I liked it and will give a red for yandere lovers.

It's not a story that intrigues you enough to want to read it again...it's more of a storyline to read to pass the time. The graphic style is peculiar but enjoyable. The story on certain points is a tad confusing and some doubts and are not clarified. Ending written just to end the story.

Uninteresting plot

by Necella

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

The romance is boring, the ''villains'' are lackluster. The story isn't convincing me The whole ml being a monster thing. The blonde villain motivation doesn't really click with me. Maybe because I have read too much eu medieval history, kingdoms fall all the time and the reigning monarch can make things worse but things like entire fallen kingdoms hating only the monarch is extremely, I haven't found a single case of this happening.

This story does not make any sense. The FL is supposed to be a knight but she's weak as hell the tyrant is supposed to be tough but he cries like a baby when the ml says no. The antagonist could have been so much better and the end is just... bullshitty non sense. I don't recommend at all

Weird plot pacing, poor art, and all the characters suck. Dropped.

by MorganaReads

Rating: 2.0 / 10.0

I don't think I've ever read a webtoon where I can't stand the FL, ML, 2ndary ML, AND antagonist, but here we are.
First, the whole premise revolves around an obsessive ML hunting down a woman against her will after they slept with and she got pregnant. His actions are abusive, selfish, manipulative and violent. Yet it's clear that as the audience we're supposed to view this as romantic, which is just #cringe. Idk who needs to hear it, but his actions do not indicate love. That's not love. The man needs professional help. And, of course, he never has to reflect on his overbearing actions, lament his violent behavior towards the woman he loves, or achieve any sort personal growth or character development. Because, as usual, the simpering FL begins to see his actions as his misguided love and forgives him.
The most interesting part of the plot is over in under 20 chapters and the remaining 60 drag on about the same uprising. So many plot holes. [The emperor is able to find the FL her in her dreams and can track her down when she's hiding from him, but can't connect to her when she's kidnapped and ACTUALLY trying to contact him within city limits?]
The FL's morality is so inconsistent and her feelings so fickle, and the ML's motivation flip flops in mere seconds. [First, he wants her to learn about his childhood so that she will warm up to him out of pure sympathy, but then is surprised and moved that she is sympathetic to his trauma? And at another point, he thinks to himself that he regrets his past of cold-blooded killing that leads to FL being in danger and then in the next line suddenly regrets not killing more people?] Poor writing matched with poor art.
The artist often recycles the same reaction panels, so I started making a game of tallying which ones are reused the most since I'm bored with the story. Currently, one of Arisa gritting her teeth has been reused 4 times, another of Arisa looking shocked has been used 2 times, and one with Duke Crescent with murder eyes was reused twice in the same chapter.

This reads like a shoujo not a josei

by Utsukushii Yume

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

I have read up to chapter 67 and I still have no idea why the FL is falling in love.

Her biggest reason for running away was b.c he acts more obsessive than he does in love. I was expecting the FL to talk with him about imposing his emotions on her, I expected her to explain that relationships need to be built on communication and trust, however the FL never addresses this and neither does the author.

The author also never touches on how the FL shouldn't just judge people because of rumors and a parent should NEVER destroy the relationship of a child/parent simply b.c you can't figure out your feelings. FL hid his kid from him and never once does she feel bad or is reprimanded for being a selfish mother who took away the fathers opportunity to be in his kids life. If she would have felt a little bad after it was all said and done then it wouldn't have been so bad, but the story acts like she had every right to act so rashly over something as stupid as a misunderstanding. If she ran away b.c she wanted to protect the kid from the many enemies of the king, fine, but b.c of a misunderstanding, no.

The FL acts more like a typical shoujo FL, drooling over the looks of someone you hate, being indecisive about your emotions, making stupid decisions b.c the author needs them too instead of b.c it makes sense. The art isn't too bad, but the kids profile heads are something crazy. The flow of the story is also a little wonky at times, it sometimes feels like a scene is missing but you can for the most part still tell what is going on.

You know that series that is absolute grabege in the worst way? This is it. The characters are annoying, porly written, and contradict themselves all the time. The art is trash, the plot is cheesy and predictable, the hook lost its vanity 2 chapters in and did I mention the characters are annoying? Anyhow it's garbage but if you enjoy garbage casually you can keep up with it like I do.

Stupid

This is extremely predictable in a very bad way. The male lead is obsessive and creepy, and the female lead is very frustrating.

He is the emperor, arrogant, doesn’t talk to her (but visits her in her dreams), has a tragic backstory (which is supposed to make us like him although he has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever), and keeps harassing her instead of communicating with her.

She is a knight, becomes pregnant, then runs away when he finds out because she’s convinced he’s a monster and she wants to protect her children, manages to hide for years, then has to confront him, and falls back in love with him because she sees him cry.

Bad decisions, fickle emotions, drama for the sake of drama... all in all a typical bad shoujo.
