Queen in the Shadows

What started off as a strong beginning with a promising female lead, ended in a big bumpster fire of a mess. It's a shame because I really did like this story before. However after a while the plot started becoming boring because the pacing was too slow. Then towards the ending I realized that all the male interests were trash and that I became pissed off whenever one of them appeared on the pages. The red head especially made my skin crawl with disdain. I assume they had plans to make him into some form of yandere white knight character later in the story but I honestly couldn't be bothered to give a crap about that asshole. 😒 When it became clear that she would get back together with her Ex from the past life, that was the final nail on the coffin for me. I understand that there might be a lot of people out there that have regrets about past relationships and maybe this is wish fulfillment for them. Like a "if things had been different he would have loved me. I knew he was actually a good person all along!" Which is just so... 🤢  Personally I think these story's should stop encouraging young impressionable minds that it's ok to get back together with your abuse lover just because they changed there attitude for a while.

If Queen in the shadows were to be actually completed it could rank as an 8 or a 9. But as It currently stands, I'm guessing it was cancelled because what is currently on offer is a fraction of the plot. Is there worth to, reading a story without a proper conclusion, especially one based on revenge?

This was really interesting in the beginning, where she gets reincarnated back to her original place and she repeats her whole journey to become Veronica. This story is not as good as others, because honestly this is more about Lucia and using her character to take revenge slowly rather than the fraud herself. She is very smart, but I don't want to see Lucia! But, I think she'll soon stop using her..but sadly they are dropping this due to the artist being treating unfairly, so it will stop at around chapter 60. I wonder how that will work out, but RIP to this masterpiece.
