By far one of the best webtoons I've ever read. However If you get too attached to the main characters like me it can turn reading this into a painful experience.
Really wish a happy ending for this.

This may be long, but I think it’s worth a shot for those who wonder if they want to read this.
Alright so I had slept on this title for a long time because the synopsis gave me the impression it was mainly around an fmc, and there is a romance tag.

As many would know, female lead romance titles tend to be kinda…

But I was wrong. This morning, on a whim while trying to catch up on manga updates, I thought, “I’ll just open the first chapter to put in my history and continue later.”

By chance, I just read on with the first chapter. Then I got hooked.
It was not like what someone was complaining about almost 5 years ago saying something along the lines of, “i don’t like weak mc and strong fmc,” type shi.

It was not wrong, but it was not close to what it was simply made out to be.


I love the character developments. The way things contrasted between their expectations and their reality.
Or how things seemed like it’ll initially never work out, yet they struggle through it to make it work. In the process of that, it kept us on the edges of our seat. Especially the tension between what was once a close bond between the lead characters.


Eventually, seeing our fmc cry like that, ”upon hearing of the mc’s death,” really struck a chord. Just as how the characters were surprised to see her like that, I too, couldn’t help but had the same reaction when I saw the revered witch in tears.


So do it! Give it a chance! Don’t regret missing this like me. Although on the bright side, you won’t have to keep waiting for updates. Now I’m dying to know what’s next.

a very well written story, easy 9/10, read the above review(s) for good points
here's a list of bad points though
  • mediocre-poor translation quality throughout (not its fault)
  • exposition dumps
  • the occasional deus ex machina / "convenient coincidence"
  • very heavy atmosphere throughout if you dont like that
  • (light spoiler, but one of my biggest criticisms) have to wait AWHILE to have a decent reason for the FMC committing wholesale slaughter which may make it hard to get invested in a romance story involving them
  • FMC starts out cold and stays there for awhile
  • well written manga politics is unfortunately still manga politics
  • (light spoiler)reasoning of and final confrontation of main antagonist is disappointing
