I lost interest after S1.
Listen, it’s in no way a bad story but there are also SO many other stories which have done this exact same regression plot but done a bit better.
I mean, don’t get me wrong the Kierra is indeed somewhat of a badass, but she’s not that interesting of a character to me.
I really wish more development was given to more of the supporting characters too. Cuz up until the S1 finale they are all still pretty flat.
I mean, take MC’s younger brother for example. Outside of being a sweetheart to his sister & caring alot about her, he doesn’t
...
really have that much of a character. Take him out of the equation (aka take him out of the story), & the story narratively will remains mostly exactly same. Meaning, other than just being supportive of Kierra in the background, he for the most part, does not have his own character motivations or anything [in S1 at least]. I mean I would’ve loved to see how his relationship with the duke PERSONALLY was [as Kierra out of the equation]. Was the Duke attentive to him at least? I mean the Duke didn’t rlly give a sh*t about our MC, but him & Kierra (If I’m remembering correctly) were born from the same mother & were pretty close, so was he treated pretty badly by the Duke too? Like, it seemed as though the Duke only had a personal vendetta against MC [for reasons in plot obviously] so I’m real curious how he treated his son. But we get info on none of that. Not much is shown of the younger brother’s PERSONAL relationship with his father, other than “Oh yea they probably weren’t that close either, given some context clues”. And honestly, the same goes for every other supporting character who isn’t that one knight guy. They’re all pretty flat for the most part. And like yea, I know it’s only S1 so I’m not gonna ask for the author to completely flesh them all out, but like at least make them their own person, instead of having them be connected to the Kierra’s character in one way or another. At least give them some points of interest, that’s what I’m trying to say.
The pacing is kind awkward at times too. It’s like the story can’t make up its mind whether it wants a slower pacing or a faster pacing, so you just get this weird mishmash where each chap has a different pacing. Plus the entirety S1 is just setting up whatever is to come in S2, nothing much else. And while this of works in series like “Remarried Empress”, I don’t rlly think it did this story much of a favor, specially with its awkward pacing.
Not rlly a big fan of the artstyle either. Sometimes it looks like the characters have bug eyes. Plus, the characters look very generic, none of them have very special or unique character designs.
All in all, the story is quite cliche. None of the novel spoilers interest me enough to continue this either. Right from the chap 1 you know how the story will play out if you’ve read enough these regression “revenge” manhwas. And I mean l don’t rlly hold this fact against this series, it’s just that it has nothing special going on that’ll make me wanna continue reading. Ig I can confidently say tho that you know what you’re getting into & it delivers exactly that (aka Kierra being cool). So if you like those kinds of stories, hey, you might also enjoy this one too.
