The female lead was raped by the male lead by chapter 3 and then goes on to treat her horribly. I do not understand why people like this manga. Ruined my mood.

If you like a strong female MC, then this webcomic is for you. Edna initially seemed like she was going to be a weak character who gets pushed around by the circumstances and people around her, but with every chapter that went by, she became more badass and confident. I loved her! Edna and Eli make a great, well-balanced power couple, and their relationship with each other becomes very heartfelt. The plot was good - good pacing and a nice mix of both romance and action. Enough plot twists to keep things from getting stale or predictable . I've seen this webcomic labelled as "smut", but aside from a few brief scenes at the beginning there isn't much content that would fall into that category. The emphasis of this webcomic is definitely the plot and character development, not fan service. *minor spoilers* There were a few minor things that kept me from rating this webcomic as a "9" - the main one being the start of the relation ship btwn Edna and Eli. It was hard for me to like Eli after he forced himself on Edna on the first day that they met. For a quasi-medieval setting, yes, that is a realistic scenario. And yes, he eventually does apologize. But as a woman in the 21st century, it was hard for me to move past that when the author began to develop his character more. The transition of their relationship from "you are the guy who basically raped me" to "oh actually I really love you a lot" felt forced and unnatural to me.

I don't understand how this is so hyped. The characters are very typical and their relationship is so shallow. It's just that they're both attractive and she's nice and he's unused to nice people. Very typical. They hardly have any moments where they actually have a heart to heart. There's also a rape scene that's never addressed. The greater plot is bland and simple. Let me repeat, I don't understand how this is so hyped. The art is spectacular but everything else is average or below.
