Plot: not typical villainess get's revenge. The plotline takes revenge to another level. The saying "tit for tat" is embodied in the plot with no mercy. There is no forgiveness. Unlike most stories, where the perpetrators are forgiven if they repent, the crimes are not taken lightly. lf you do wrong, no matter the reason, you will be punished. MC was abandoned by her ex-fiance Prince, her father, while the people of the kingdom for whom MC worked truly hard for did not trust her and rather betrayed her by believing in lies without question. Actions have consequences, and what they did would have led to MCs death. Her revenge is justified, methods are brutal.
Ps: the plot does not shy away from the reality of their lives, be it slavery or war crimes. It has a logical and realistic viewpoint.
Vol 1: betrayal and start of revenge.
Vol 2: financial growth for revenge finances.
Vol 3: border conflict, war
Vol 4: establish as an influencial merchant (ongoing, eng. ver.)
Characters: Over powered MC is brutal and calculative. She has a clear goal and focuses on achieving smaller feats to execute her revenge (bigger picture). Some of her revenge have collateral damage but I find that to be more realistic than a revenge plot where no one is harmed. Different side-characters in each volume, with different personalities and background. I think they will come together at the end of her final revenge. Side characters are well written but not discussed in detailed.
Art: amazing art. Well-drawn characters and neat backgrounds. The text is also arranged neatly. 9/10
Things I liked:
- This is a women led series, most side characters are powerful women.
- The art does not draw characters sexually.
- Real revenge, might not be for faint hearted people.
TW: gore, violence child death, r*pe, murder, war, slavery
pacing might feel rushed
PS: A lot of times, when I see MCs letting go of bandits because they are "doing this for their family", I always find it annoying, like 2 secs ago, they were about to r*pe and kill you and will do this to others too, but I love how this series shows no mercy to such characters.
