Personally I dont like the idea of mothering children, and the protagonist is 16. Some of the kids are pretty close in age with her, its pretty strange. I can get how some people might find this entertaining though, just definately not for me.

Seeing all the good reviews about this manhwa made me feel excited to read it. Unfortunately, I'm 20 chapters in and I'm yet to feel any interest or connection with any of the characters. The pacing is slow and it can be difficult to follow the story at time because the FL look exactly the same she did in the past and in the present. Couldn't find anything to make me keep reading so I decided to drop it instead.

A Stepmother's Märchen. This is a story about a girl, who was sold off to the Marquis as his second wife, who was then widowed after his death, and who became the stepmother of four children, all at the mere age of 16.

I was initially put off by it's absurd sounding plot, assuming that it was-like many from the same genre-another cringey and cliche story with bad plot and annoying characters. Unexpectedly however, what I found was a touching, coming of age story about a young girl forced into the position of a mother in a society that is far from welcoming. Unlike most fl protagonists, she is extremely mature and deals with situations in a sensible and yet realistic way. From the characters, to the art , and to the intricate plot that pulls the story together, everything about this manhwa went above and beyond my expectations, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I shed a tear here and there while reading it.

Overall, this was a brilliantly crafted story that you should definitely give a shot at!
