For My Derelict Favorite

Description

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

I entered my favorite romance-fantasy novel, which I have read many times.

Thanks to the body of a wealthy commoner, I bought the status of a fallen aristocrat, attended a noble family’s gathering and observed the romance of the characters in the original novel.

I wanted to return to the real world after witnessing the ending.

But somehow, even after the ending, I was not freed from the body I possessed and remained living in the original novel.

As a result, I acquired the stories behind the scenes that I refused to comprehend.

My favorite sub male lead, Caelus, has died.

Living impoverished in the original work without him, I eventually fell ill and died.

Now, I wanted to return to reality.

However, the irony of fate has returned me to the end of the novel overnight. This is definitely… to save my beloved, right?

I disagree with the review about the ending not being satisfying- in fact I think the end was the best part- but “the end” is the end of the epilogue. Before that it’s not over and yes would be unsatisfying. The epilogue has like a ton of the plot!

Romance was a bit meh. It’s good at the end and nonexistent in 80% of the novel. It goes from 0 to 100 in like 2 episodes. I think Keal has feelings for a lot longer than we see. I wish we... more>> got more of his point of view.

The novel before the end I thought about dropping a few times. Not really drama, no real urgency, FL’s reasons didn’t really resonate or feel all that important.

FL is obsessed with ML. We see this trope where ML’s are obsessed with FL’s quite often, where they would like to defend them and treat them like glass- this is where that gender norm is reversed. FL would cherish a napkin if ML gave it to her. She also has no sense of self worth. She isn’t a wallflower, she is actually a very strong character, smart- but she just views ML like one would a celebrity, or world leader. Someone to worship, someone precious and someone 1000 times out of their league. But also ML needs a shield and she wants to be that shield, she would happily take a bullet for him.

The parts that were most awkward was the FL’s feelings that this is a novel and the weird obsession with thinking of herself as a villain when she was in fact mostly doing really good things. These parts just didn’t flow well.

this is R19. It only comes up in like 2 chapters and then suddenly bam in your face. Kinda weird and as much as I like such things a bit awkward. <<less

This has been one of my favourite novels and to date, it remains one of the most unique.

I'll say first that translator quality can be better, but it is good enough to convey the beauty of the original script.

I won't spoil anything, since the summary is pretty clear and the journey is short. What I will say is that this is a very clear, unwavering story about one woman's determination to make something she perceives as a wrong, right.

It's also a story about what really is right and wrong, whether... more>> something can be an absolute evil and how true a person can or should remain to their beliefs. I'm a very morally grey person myself so I relate and agree with Hestia that much more. And she's not even that grey - she wants to save a life and get an apology (cough revenge cough) for said life's loss during the 1st turn.

What's even more amazing is that the writer doesn't give us the black/white ending we want, but the grey-shaded ending that we need. There's no clear-cut loss. There are wins but not an ultimate win. We eat, as Koreans say, as much sweet potatoes as we drink cider.

I know the manga's out already but I've always found that the novels give more context. It's not a long read, give it a go. <<less

I love the FL's personality but not the interaction/chemistry between her and ML. From my pov, they dont have much talkings, actions, etc., everything happens so fast; so how can he love her? I read both Manhwa and Novel yesterday, and it was fun to see the revenge to protect her bias (ML), her admiration and enthusiasm for her idol.

To me, I'm not really into super strong FL and she met my expectation, not s*upid not super smart, not too cold not too hot. Hope you guys enjoy this novel... more>> too!! <<less

Note- I'm keeping most of the review spoiler free, and ill add a short spoiler related review in the end

This was almost THE PERFECT STORY😭
The novel itself is good and the storyline and this entire plot is ACTUALLY VERY NICE!
[If your wondering what the main goal of the story is, it's mainly character development related ig?] I can elaborate but just can't find the words I'm looking for fn hehe..😅
As for the conclusion/wrapup's, Well it's the only place i'd raise a complaint and find faults with.. The story overall is good.... But imo towards the ending arc (before the focus on main romance aspects which r to finish off on a good note I mean) (like the politics and stuff around them arc that would be finishing soon?) it starts seeming off.. like they just keep throwing loophole-like situations and there was such a good chance of some REALLY GOD EVENTS happening but its just been twisted weirdly :/
They really just had a LOT of potential and it didn't reach my expectations hat the series had built up and set for me :<
If the author wrote the antagonists finishing arc a slightly different way or as i'd say, more like the rest of the story, This would be a full 5 star novel that I wouldnt mind re-reading all the time :D

Spoilers:
Spoiler

So the ogFL is favoured by the og!Ml's father aka the emperor and so to keep her from harms way FIRST OF ALL, the emperor decides to NOT want to punish the temple and expose it? LIKE TTHE ENTIRE EMPIRE'S WELL BEING WAS AFFECTED AND MILLIONS COULD HAVE DIES BUT BRUH?? anywaYs- So, to stop our FL from exposing it, og!ML makes a deal with her on behallf of his father and yea some stuff happpens and og!2ndML (Aka our fl's ml) Was not part of the deal so he decides to expose the temple and he told FL that he wouldnt side with og!ML & og!FL here, So some stuff happens and then our ML says he wants FL to stop what she's doing (aka her revenge) and so does og!ml, and, THE FL HAS REALISATIONS HERE THAT COULD HAVE GONE IN A HER STANDING UP FOR HERSELF WAY but nONOnono it went with her doing anything ML wants bec she loves him :/ And what happens to the og!FL (Aka the antagonist of this series?) Her punishment is lifetime to be spent in church and iirc some ban abt marriage (the marriage part might be wrong) SO ESENTIALLY OG!FL IS GARUANTEED ROOF OVER HER HEAD, FOOD AND WATER AND A LIVELIHOOD & PLACE TO LIVE, AND SHE NEVER APOLOGISED OR PAYED FOR ANY CRIMES and even AT THE END ONF THE STORY she never thought she was wrong!! Like this is one of the WORST vilalin's endings ive ever had to live through😭. The way they saved diana in EVERY issue (yes the author wrote it in such a way its obvious to see they were desperate to save the antagonist :/) Makes me feel like there was some external force on the author to do so, bec just the antagonist's ending arc and that stuff doesn't match with the quality and pace of the entire story and stuff yk :/ If you read it you'll understand what I mean😕

[collapse]
So yes, here's my incomplete but decently detailed review abt the series!

To me, the FL doesn’t get back the love she gave to the ml. I just feel like the ML just... ruined her efforts. I don’t think be appreciates it all if he just ruins all of her efforts like that, it’s just wrong. ML also just doesn’t give off the feeling that the FL has for him, it feels like if she wasn’t around and it was another person, it’d still be the same, it’s as if he’ll be fine without her even though that’s not supposed to be... more>> the case.

Their relationship to me is just off. I don’t get the “they’re in love!” reaction just like all the other good novels I’ve read. Idk, it’s probably just me because I’ve read too many novels, but I’ll rate this a 3 for Hestia’s efforts. Probably a 3 1/2 for Kelus, just cause depression isn’t easy to handle. <<less

I loved this novel. 4.5 stars.

I feel like I missed something ... more>>
Spoiler

does she ever tell him she's a possessor?

[collapse]
.

But aside from that, and the fact that 10 y later had no D update, this novel is unique.

1. She's loooong with each chapter being 4x bigger than other novels.

2. Hestia is crazy awesome female lead. She's smart, funny, vengeful, but also competent and emotionally a wreck.

3. Kaelus is slow burn romance. I questioned the smut tag but it was a great burn. I loved the fact that Hestia is true to her Stan even up to the 'anticlimactic' ending.

I think people are choosing not to read because people complained about the ending, but it was actually really refreshing for me. You don't always have to crush people to get your happily ever after. You don't have to "be the bad guy" for your loved ones if your loved ones just want to live happily ever after. The chapters after this "anticlimactic" ending were the most emotional and outright deep in the whole story.

One thing I absolutely adored about this is that hestia was able to bring down her foes and make them see the error of their ways even through their pride and arrogance. And the way she did it was a ride of political genius.

It's a long ride, but it was great. <<less

K.... So it was good the FL was badass nd amazing but the end wasn't satisfying with Diana nd all yeah they should focus on their happiness also but that woman just did as she pleased till the end and what about Yuno that poor woman was just bought in like a breeding mare like she doesn't have a love life or anything..... She just has to give birth to a royal heir and hold parties better than Diana this was FL's revenge on Helios but what did Yuno do... more>> to get involved with this honestly that was disappointing I wonder if that poor girl who was obviously expecting some happy romance in her life just got sold by her parents 😤😤😤 <<less

This became one of my favorite novels of all time! The main characters are so likeable. The FL is smart, stronge-willed, wholesome, dedicated, etc.. I could go on! But all in all she has such an amazing personality. The ML is pitiful, but still smart and sensible, and he was respectful of the other girl’s rejection and tried his best to move on and overcome his depression. His character development is truly remarkable. The ml’s journey of moving on from a broken heart is very realistic and I appreciate the... more>> fact that the author didn’t make him fall in love with FL immediately given his situation (he literally tried to commit svic!de, that was how much he was in love and heartbroken with his previous unrequited love). So, although it was a slow start, their love story flourished organically, as it gave time for us readers to empathize with ML as he moved on and eventually fell in love with fl. AND THEY LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER <<less

Such a beautiful story.

The only minus point of this is, it's solely based on MC pov.

It would have been nice to have multiple pov.

Otherwise it's a healing second chance story which explains what love is.
