Overall an enjoyable read. The story and plot were good. I wish the world building was more researched and developed. I was confused as to where and when the story takes place exactly with all the use of modern references and colloquialisms. Also a privy is not a bathroom.

The similarities with “Under the Oak Tree” got me hooked. I enjoyed that manwha and was intrigued to read something similar. Unfortunately, this did not live up to my expectations. At some point in the middle, I was hoping for Ophelia tragic ending. I had to force myself to finish reading to the end. The main problem I found or the main characters, specifically the female lead, Ophelia. She is so annoying naïve that I just want to slap some sense into her. She is purposely written as the naïve damsel in distress that needs constant rescuing. She’s is used as a crutch to move the plot along. because of this, she has little to no character development. The hero is also fully formed and lacks character development. There are no changes to their conflict resolutions. Having to read the main characters respond to situations in a similar fashion becomes frustrating. The story had potential but the main characters brought it down.

Liking the story and plot so far. Its really got me hooked. I’m excited for more updates. Disappointed with the main charecters though. Dare I say they are a watered down version of Cane and Iris.
