▶Summary and recommendation: -----------------------------------------------------------------
It is hard to recommend this as there is nothing that stands out about this manhwa. It is a very formulaic revenge fantasy Otome Isekai, with some glaring issues with its romance.
▶Story, romance and characters: ------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside of the romance subplot, this is a revenge fantasy with very one dimensional villains and characters, and not much tension.
A unique problem of this manhwa is how polite and understanding characters are. I am a fan of communication and solving drama through dialogue, but at the level this manhwa does it; it comes off as
...
robotic.
i.e.
"May I help you down the carriage? It will involve physical contact"
"No, I do not feel comfortable with physical contact"
"Understood, I respect your decision"
While polite, and desireable in the real world, it comes across as stiff and distant in a romance story.
On the topic of romance, the way it starts is forced, with little chemistry between the characters. Once they fall in love the author's intent with the romance becomes apparent. It is abundantly clear that the author wanted to write a healthy relationship with communication and respect between the couple. While this is praiseworthy, it comes at the cost of the actual realistic romance.
▶Artwork: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The art is probably bordering on ugly, or well into ugly territory for some readers. It does not serve the story in any capacity, and the character designs are uninspired. Very little care has gone into the creation and presentation of the world, and you will see very little of it or characters outside of the main cast.
