It's a lot better than expected. It does get dark, but it worked out in the end. It's definitely something different, and it's definitely worth reading. Are there any more sci-fi in the near future? I have not been disappointed in any of your novels. Great job!
This story is compelling and I like your blurb-- I feel the intensity of my curiosity while reading your story! Great job!
I love this story. I've been reading it since not long after it was started. Updates were daily at the time. Then they stopped. They have started up again, but they are too short, and still too few and far between.
new cover looks great??
the story line is worrying. why and how do you rape a girl, snatch her son and get a restraining order.
Very interesting story ...
This book was fantastic! I absolutely loved it. I hope for more!!
I'm rooting for Athena. Hope Ralph doesn't hurt her
nice story line ...
I was ok with this author until I read mated to the moon goddess ch 10 "I know but in case you aren't aware, I'm the reason why you look cute. Left for Hera, I'm sure she would have turned you to a black American." She frowned." As a black American I'm offended and will not support a write like this
This might not be the best Web Novel (WN) I've ever read, but it's the one that has captured my heart the most, and for one simple reason:
The protagonist, the adorable catgirl Fran.
That's right, I consider Fran the actual protagonist of the story because she definitely is: everything that propels the plot forward aligns with her motivations and wishes, and she is the one who undergoes the true hero's journey. The supposed main character, Master, may be who the story is titled after and serves as our viewpoint character, but he mostly fills the role of the supportive guardian responsible for Fran's power-ups. His primary goal is to support Fran's aspirations. While both Fran and Master have their own goals, Fran's is undoubtedly the more compelling one, and the majority of the adventures in the story stem from her decisions. Even as the story progresses and Fran achieves her initial goal, her motives extend far beyond herself and that objective, ensuring she never lacks direction or motivation to drive the plot forward.
Fran as a character is extremely likable: she strikes the perfect balance between being taciturn and seemingly blasé in her expressions without coming across as a stiff, cold-hearted robot. When her emotions do flare up, we definitely know it. Additionally, she isn't a wishy-washy character who wavers in her convictions at the slightest provocation; she is incredibly resolute. Once she sets her sights on something, nothing will stand in her way. This resolve extends to life-or-death situations, where she can be quite merciless to those who deserve it and won't hesitate to enact torture and murder on her enemies. Yet, she never becomes one of those dark and edgy antiheroes for whom the ends justify the means; she remains pragmatic. She also wholeheartedly displays her childish side, such as her love for food and her absolute boredom with anything that doesn't involve battle or eating. Despite everything, she is still a child, and this combination of childishness with her taciturn ruthlessness makes her a very appealing and adorable character.
I also appreciate that, despite Master's cheat abilities and her own genius, Fran is far from being the most powerful character in the setting. One of the novel's overarching lessons is that there is always someone or something more powerful. She is definitely overpowered (OP), but the story provides opportunities to show her struggling or even losing against more powerful enemies without downplaying her abilities.
I enjoy the presence of many reasonable characters in this story. While there are the usual characters who are too stupid to live, there are also many characters with a good head on their shoulders, despite their quirks, and they interact well with Fran.
I'm glad I found the manga first before reading the WN, as the manga clearly understands that Fran is the best way to start the story. It condenses the first dozen WN chapters, which focus solely on Master, into a single chapter. This allowed me to come in knowing that Fran is the best part of the story and worth sticking around for. It was definitely a mistake on the WN's part to focus so much on the sword at the beginning.
This novel is truly exceptional. The main characters, MC and ML, start off as enemies due to a misunderstanding. ML, being a righteous character, unknowingly falls prey to his enemy, the MC, who uses a villainous facade to support her brother, the emperor. It's understandable why people might sympathize with ML, given the circumstances.
As the story progresses, after the MC's rebirth and their eventual reunion, ML displays a delightful tsundere personality, possessive yet shy. The MC's shamelessness adds a touch of humor to their intimate moments, causing ML to blush and become jealous, even though he tries to hide his emotions. The relationship between them is filled with both laughter and heart-wrenching moments.
Their separation is emotionally charged, as ML, despite anger, remains fiercely loyal to MC. Even when faced with a royal edict for another marriage, ML chooses the MC over societal expectations, defying tradition for love. When MC decides to divorce, ML's love prevails, and he goes against his family's wishes just to be with her.
There are instances where ML's actions may seem unworthy due to the initial misunderstanding, but his genuine love and concern for MC, shown when he learns she's pregnant with their second child, reveal his true nature. Despite another misunderstanding, he breaks down and pleads with MC, asking for her forgiveness and even suggesting he lies about the child's paternity to cope with the reality.
Overall, this story evokes strong emotions from readers, comparable to "Malicious Empress" in terms of its depth and impact. I highly recommend giving it a chance, as it's filled with laughter, tears, and a beautiful love story that unfolds despite challenges and misunderstandings.
