I Wasn't the Cinderella - Reviews

At first, people liked the ML because he was very kind but after it turned out that he was lying about his disability, a lot of people dropped this series.. but I’m telling you to please stick to the story for just a while longer! like literally right after the reveal, we get to know the ML and why he did the things he did. Honestly his reasoning is like 100% justifiable in my opinion since it was for his survival. He literally had no other choice or else he would most probably get killed. You shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, since at around chapter 20 the ML is actually pretty sweet to the FL and I love their banter!

I also love how the ML is portrayed as the ‘Cinderella’ and how the FL is actually the prince saving him. It was soo cute when she proposed to him and when she carried him (bridal-style) down a hill. FL is so badass! Love the role reversal! 

WOW, the comments made me speechless so I am here to debunk them.

The title is fitting. The story is nicely thought through so it has a place to be. The idea is great! There is no 'going back to the past' or whatever 3874983th isekai story has to offer. 

Now, both of the main characters are adequate. While the male lead is the one who is mysterious and more on a dark side, he is nicely balanced with a female lead who is honest, ambitious, and kind. 

If you're tired of pedophilia, incoherent story, plot holes, and useless, brainless female leads you're in the right place. 

It's easy to follow but it leaves you wanting more. It's not super-duper dramatic, that's why it's so entertaining. 

I totally recommend it. One of the best stories I've picked up recently. 

This story is very plot driven and the romance subplot is very sidebar. I like that the FL is strong, badass and clear-headed and the ML is too. The romance is developing naturally which i like as well. I don't particulary like the father-daughter relationship and the time-skip is too rushed but the plot is pretty good. I love the ML's twisted personality and I'm looking forward to seeing how he deals with his unexpected emotions. The FL also does not get easily swayed by the ML's flirty personality which I like. It gives a more realistic view on relationships itself. Yes she's revenge driven but as it progresses it changes to an interest to protect her duchy and help Cesio. The story itself is progressing kinda slowly, but I feel it'll pick from now.

The art is really good. I persoanlly love blue haired FL's so I was glad to see that. The outfits are really pretty as well.

Reading bad reviews about it made me realize that some readers don't even know what they're talking about. Especially about the title. This one have fit title and the reason is smart (I mean, some manhwa's title are thoughtless and cringe). It was far from what some readers suggest and you need to read to know. So that's why, this straight up be one of my fav romance fantasy manhwa ! The characters and story are refreshing. It avoids most cliche in the genre. Somehow it reminds me with Beware of Villainess, but I like it more because the ML was more interesting.

Cesio, oh my God, CESIO! He's one of the most refreshing ML i've stumbled upon in manhwa. He's a complex character that's very different than typical MLs. He introduced as weak and soft man but turns out he was cunning. But he's cute in his own way, LOL. Despite his compossed, scheme and mature behaviour, he was easily flustered around FL and it shows he's just ordinary man after all, LOL.

FL was strong af, literally. She's kinda irritating at first because she easily get angry over smallest thing, but overall she's cool. Her relationship with ML was really really slow but I didn't mind it because it was sooo good and natural. But we just have to be a little patient on romance side because it was mainly focused on power struggle drama.

Reviewed at chapter 75.

It's not amazing or anything but it's certainly not bad. It's kinda a new concept too. 

the Cinderella thing that everyone is mad about actually does make sense and here's why. So the FL and her mother start out poor af right? Her dad comes and brings them home into a lavish life. Which is the same kinda overnight poor to rich transformation Cinderella got. Except our FL has to weild a sword and defend herself from her exs crazy family. Boom! That's why she isn't Cinderella. She had to work for everything.

it's pretty alright
