Teaching the Tyrant Manners

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

It’s a tale as old as time: Livia is known as an elegant, cold daughter of Duke Blanche who upholds the etiquette of the noblesse above all else. Croft is a lonely Emperor shrouded in dark rumors in dire need of a proper court education. It seems the perfect match—except Livia, possessed by the spirit of a fiery reader who dropped the novel before reaching the end, is determined to change her fate as an Empress destined to die a violent death.

Royal intrigue, assassination plots and political turmoil are the least of Livia’s worries, of course. When she enters a magical marriage contract with Croft to rehabilitate his image, each swearing to divorce when they fall in love with someone else, forces beyond their control pull Livia and Croft toward a conspiracy that could upend their lives forever.

ML is stinkin cute and is actually pretty gentlemanly in his nature, he just wasn’t taught how to be one properly. Quite caring and considerate in his own way as well as he tries to be somewhat understanding. Our MC’s every little action is hilarious and her teaching consent as well as fighting back is something you don’t get to see very often. It’s a little early now, but it’s a very promising read.

I usually stray away from reading Korean novels because most of the translations are MTL, but this novel's translation is top-notch.

The characters are also very interesting. I love the way they interact with each other. The MC's tough but her body is very fragile. The ML's a tyrant, but he's so sweet and gentlemanly.

I definitely recommend this!

Character interactions are SO funny. I love our MC and ML. The misunderstanding trope can be annoying but it is done SO well here

This is hilarious. I actually laugh out loud at least once a chapter. The FL is bold af, and there are direct conversations about consent early on (related to physical contact in general), which I feel is missing from a lot of novels. It's still early on, but so far I would recommend it.

It was attractive because of how spunky the MC was, at first, towards the ML. However, later on, it falls into one of those tropes of “original novel this, original novel that”. It’s unreasonable to expect that changes or diversions from the original novel wouldn’t happen, when a lot of things have already changed. Also, it’s becoming annoying how the MC spends so much time in her own head that instead of having proper discussions with people around her, she just keeps all her thoughts in her head. She’s making... more>> too many dangerous assumptions instead of properly observing her surroundings then making an informed decision. <<less

So this novel is definitely funny, but can get a tad bit frustrating as both Croft and Rivieri misunderstand each other.

Now short summary: so far (ch30)

Rivieri is supposed to be married to Croft, who is the soon to be Emperor, because of an deal between he duke (her father) and Croft, who needs the duke's support to secure the throne.

Croft is the soon-to-be Emperor, who to secure his throne agrees to a deal with the duke, who in return wants that his daughter to be empress. Enter Rivieri. Rivieri... more>> remembers her past life just a few days before she gets sent to the palace to teach Croft manners. However, she remembers that this is the novel she had stopped reading in her past life, where her character gets mu*dered by Croft. Now striving to not get killed by the tyrant Emperor Croft, she planned to stay away, but that gets harder and harder as he doesn't seem as tyrannical and babarical as he is made out to be. A secret contract between both of them is the only thing that guarantees Rivieris'life in her eyes. The new plan: getting him and the actual FL, Lillian /Lillith ? Together so she will live, the only problem: "I like you", somehow Croft is behaving even more pitiable and daring, even teaching her how to hit him properly or letting her stab him in the chest.

My critic:

Even though the story is pretty funny and has a nice dynamic between Croft and Rivieri, they're misunderstandings of each other somehow got a little bit tiring, yet still justifiable, this is only my personal preference. But it is definitely enjoyable. It is also weird how she said that she is always planning to exercise to grow her stamina but has yet to exercise on her own. Now I know she did exercise with croft but that wasn't exactly the
Spoiler

stamina training she was planning to do to get her body stable.

I can't believe I got so invested with only 200 pages. The plot is nothing new, very predictable but the relationship between the leads is very fun. Female lead is not annoying, just too gullible. Male lead on the other hand seems irredimible at first, it's very rude, violent (not to the female lead), and even manipulative (to the female lead sadly), and overall just a bad, treacherous person. But if you can see past that, he's actually a very cute walking red flag.

I didn't like that the details from... more>> the original story are practically crumbs that don't help at all in grasping how the original plot is supposed to go. It also makes male lead's personality confusing.

Also, the reason why I gave this story only 3 stars even though I enjoyed it a lot, is because it has a lot of dumb points. Like the "duel" between the leads, it's so ridiculous and cringe and could've been easily avoided. And, said 200 pages only happen in the course of 3 weeks. It's imposible they grow so close after just that time and it makes male lead's feelings seem fake and rushed (the pace of the story is good though, just that aspect makes it unbelievable).

Anyways, even after all that, it's a cute story to read if you have nothing else to do and I'm excited to see how the author is going to make Croft more likeable (or not, I love me some good toxic fictional men), and how Livia is going to react at her plan failing.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily <<less

This novel was so funny!! I love the main characters interactions and both of them are super lovable and cute. It reminds me a little bit of "Father I don't want to get married"

The update schedule is slow and I have a problem with how this novel started, it leaves out so much information about the FL's life before the isekai into this world and we don't know how or why she got there in the first place so... I'm only reading it cuz I like the hot ML ngl, hopefully we will get more info and backstory in the future
