You might be looking at the synopsis and thinking, “Eh, it’s another royalty-revenge story cliché,” but don’t be so quick to write it off and judge it as just that. I’ve read many other manga that have a similar synopsis, but Your Throne stands out and comes out on top of the others.

Story: 8.5/10
We follow the story of Medea – an intelligent, calculating, feared villainess – who lost her position as crown princess to the naïve, pure, beloved Psyche. Medea thirsts for revenge, but things take a different turn when she swaps bodies with Psyche. She is overjoyed with this fate to cease the ... crown back but soon realizes that being in the body of the crown princess isn’t as good of a fate as it seems. After the body-swap incident, Medea and Psyche will grow to learn one another’s strengths and flaws, to support one another, and the truth of who has been manipulating everything behind the scenes. There are many good twists and unexpected events that occur throughout the story, enough to keep you on the edge of your seat and wondering what's going to happen next.

Characters: 9/10
My favorite thing about this manhwa. Medea isn’t just a typical badass female character whose main charm is knowing how to fight – she also has the intellect, perseverance, charisma, strength, independence, ferocity, cunningness, confidence to back it all up. She’s also not portrayed as a wholly morally good or bad character. She won’t hesitate to kill anyone who stands in her way, and the story doesn’t shy away from reminding us that she is a murderer. We are shown both her soft-hearted/kind and manipulative/cold-hearted side, but her character is fleshed out so well that the readers can’t help but still root for her. Her past is slowly revealed and gives us depth to her motivations and how she became the person she is. Unexpectedly, we also get as good of an amount of depth with Medea’s foil, Psyche, as we also follow her POV after she swaps bodies with Medea. You might think of her as a foolish, naïve, spoiled little girl in stark contract with Medea, but that is exactly the point and is what makes her have so much potential for a great amount of character development. The story mainly focuses on these two female MCs, but the other characters, like Helio (Medea’s childhood friend) and Eros (the crown prince), are also given a good amount of background. The story is still ongoing, so I look forward to learning more about them.

Art: 9/10
Never judge a story by its cover. I initially was hesitant to read it because the cover had the “glittery, happy, romance, shoujo” vibes which personally isn't my cup of tea, but I was far off and I’m so glad I gave it a chance. It does have some romance elements, but it’s not excessive and it’s just the right amount needed to advance the story. The art is dazzling in a darkly beautiful kind of way, especially when it comes to the chilling and insane expressions the characters sometimes make. It’s also amazing how the author is able to draw the subtle changes in the characters’ movements and demeanor so well that the readers can tell exactly how the characters feel.

Enjoyment: 9/10
Yeah, I enjoyed reading it a lot. Can’t really think of much else to add, but if you are interested in a revenge story featuring two badass female MCs who learn to persevere no matter what unexpected events/obstacles get in their way (with some romance, drama, and fantasy twists to it), I can’t recommend this one enough.

P.S. Please read this on the webtoons app or website. It’s free and will help support the artist.

Take it as grain of salt before proceed, i keep it simple because yea i drop this after take a break read this for a month

Everything good, the scheme, and the politic everything good. Strong woman figure, badass Medea who beat everyone on her way. Art is top notch i cant agree anymore, they use dark palate which really fit the theme of Politic play and scheme play. Sadly, i was thinking there is no romance, no single bit of romance, maybe barely romance like they are married or they are engaged or something like that. But no, they decide use romance tag, make it ... very toxic relationship (as someone who are snowflake, i dont like toxic relationship). Medea x Helio was the one probably ship because Helio always in Medea side, what i get? Ofc Medea just care Helio as tool not a partner in crime or more than it. Also this series contain r*pe which meaning they take this to whole level. Psyche also strong woman figure after betrayal and betrayal, she is probably the only that receive major char development which lead i like her even though she is one who ruin my favorite character, Medea. Also there is another problem, the plot feel like stretching really hard. They know the enemy, they have time to do it, they just make a plan, Guess what? THEY DIDNT, they just ignore it and make themselves busy with their own life. I mean the character sole goal right now is take revenge but no, just stretch the plot even more. Another problem is there is so many plothole, some part leftover unexplained (I read it 2 months ago, so i cant give u clue, u will notice it later)

Conclusion, I kinda disappointed how this story dragged elsewhere, also with half-hearted relationship, i drop it for now, Not gonna lie, i dont like drop this masterpiece until i realize this story will go nowhere. Mixed Feeling, for me its deserve 10/10 if the story doesnt drag elsewhere and focus on revenge only. I recommended the story one when woman use time travel thing instead this one, this one is good if u drop it after Medea revenge her father

So this started off REALLY good with a strong female lead that is not afraid of anyone and ALWAYS has a backup plan for everything which I loved. I loved the female empowerment of the MC but hated the weak 2nd female lead (she isn't the love interest it's not Yuri but she is the 2nd female lead the story revolves around them both) the plot was good and it had lots of possibilities for an amazing story and ending HOWEVER they recently ruined it with the MC sleeping with the prince who is straight up evil and using her along with the 2nd female ... lead WHICH BOTH female leads ended up hating, it wasn't a love triangle since the main female lead hates the prince and wants to take him down. It just ruins the story, it's like what happened to the strength of the female lead, now all of a sudden she has to do something she originally didn't want to and had to think of the ML while doing it. It's like the author just decided to make her weak and not have a back up plan for everything, like she got nerfed...the story as well just where is it going now, it had sooo much potential and it was a 10 at first but sadly the author just said "Lets make this a mess and drag this on" The original plot seems to have become a mess, it's a ruined story that I once loved.
