If You Get Caught in the Villain’s Snare

Description

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

Six years had passed by after I set fire to the mansion and ran away.
I thought my family had already forgotten me, but they started searching for me after all this time.
One hand reached out to me as I desperately tried to escape from their clutches.

“I’ll let you go when the rain stops.”

Robin Vhind, a suspicious man who followed me, claiming that he was worried about me.
Having no choice, I stayed with him at his place despite knowing only his name and nothing else.

A sense of deja vu. Friendliness without reason.

“If someone harms you, for whatever reason, I’ll get rid of them.”

As my defenses dropped one by one, I eventually fell for him.
It felt like I was truly special whenever he spent time with me.
But beneath this kind mask, I saw his true self…

“You can’t leave me. Even if I die— even if you die.”

The more I tried to escape, the worse Robin’s obsession became.

“Just give up. So that I can be kind to you until the very end.”

What am I supposed to do with this lunatic?

First take after 4 chapters: It's just not well thought out or well written.

I had high hopes and they were dashed.

----- Full Review (thus far)

To explain what I mean with an example :

Per the setting written in the story: her original noble family abandoned the MC (a 17 year old girl) at an orphanage.

They abandoned her because she had mana affinity but no power. Even though most people don't have mana affinity anyway and also had no power.

They raised her for 17 years and then "abandoned her at an orphanage."

A 17 year old girl. At an orphanage.

Just because she had no special power, which is the norm in the first place.

Oooookay author. Sure, that's totally believable...

I can't suspend my disbelief for such egregious writing.

3/5

.

Note: A 3/5 instead of a 1/5 or 2/5 because this genre of novel (Korean Webnovel Fantasy Romance) typically puts most of its focus on characterization and emotional relationships between characters. Most readers of the genre pay more attention to "the interactions of the characters" and so on, and pay less attention to the particulars of the setting/how the MC got to where she is.

I can't go on with this story because of what I mentioned in my review, but I feel like it would be unfair of me to rate it any lower given this context. <<less

The translators do a good job, but the story is predictable and poorly written. The storyline is all over the place and the world building is really poor, which could be salvaged, but because there are so many details that don't make sense (and I'm only on ch 8!) I decided to drop this story.

As another reviewer noted, it doesn't make sense that the FL was abandoned by her original family at 17 and then the Count just happened to decide he wants a daughter and adopts her, even though she has shown no abilities with her mana. Then, even though she may be a commoner, she somehow was allowed to become the prince's fiancée? That didn't make sense. Nobility would never allow her to become royalty...MAYBE if she had some extraordinary ability, but no one, besides her dad, even seems to know she can predict the future in precognitive dreams.

The family dynamics also don't make sense. It seems the Count just adopts children (kind of?) since, at least one of her brothers, has a different biological family then the Count.

I was looking for stories with an obsessive ML and this scratched that itch, but otherwise I wouldn't necessarily recommend this. <<less

The story itself is terrible. The FL is such a c*nt that she makes me desire her doom. She has a terrible persona, selfish, with a hint of narcissism; just an awful concoction of bad person.
She tries to take advantage of her situation by using her transgression knowledge, but gets f*cked in the butt. Then goes into a rampage of deceit and rudeness. Like, nobody can be trusted now, because her plan didn’t work.
betraying the only person who helped her and shit. Just so f*cking ungrateful.
don’t like the FL or the story plot.
But it was really well written. The attention the editors took in describing emotion and pointing out to who spoke what, was great.
except a part where they kept misusing the nouns he/she, which made it a bit confusing. Calling one of the brothers a “she”. Anyways! Great translation! Horrible story.
