American style like : Powers Nah i want a Gun

They're all huge simps, that's why i don't simp her with anyone,and after 90 chapter, expecially after reading through over 140 chapters, It got extremely chaotic

One of the best manhwa ever read

Overlord game series was better

You should also take a look at Remarried Empress.

Glad I found this video! Admittedly, I'm probably one of the few fans of The Abandoned Empress so it's nice to see some reviews don't entirely tear it apart since I am aware of the bad reputation The Abandoned Empress has. I think your remark on how fated lovers is a popular trope in Asia holds quite true. Many Asian dramas have an "in another life" theme, such as "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" where the two lovers experience three lives and three different worlds together, in which the first two ended badly. Also, another popular theme is the "red string of fate." Which is why I found the love story between Aristia and Ruve to be quite compelling as fated lovers who were doomed in the first timeline. Unfortunately, due to all the hate, the manhwa wasn't able to portray this entirely and I had to look for the novel. The way how Aristia and Ruve both did love each other in the first timeline, but they were turned against each other by people who wanted to use them to gain control of the empire was very tragic in my opinion and a great initial setup for the story. It also ties in nicely with how the empire fell apart in the first timeline, but prospered in the second. Surprisingly, I found that many readers of the novel did genuinely love the story. I agree with your critiques on Aristia's writing, but at the same time, she's probably one of my favourite isekai FL and one of the few I enjoy. Her insecurities may be frustrating, but as one of my bigger issues with FL in isekai is how they often become all-knowing and overpowered, Aristia was in a way a breath of fresh air. I personally enjoyed reading her struggles.

I LOVE PENELOPE 🩷

I swear that the priest is vita in disguise because they are only there to make us suffer watching the trainwreck

I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm actually sad for Jieun. She was suposed to be important but I feel like she was forgotten and added just to be in the ending for the end and not because of Ruve.

I liked the way you described Tia's and her father's relationship. But I still like their relationship. And who knows maybe the author wanted to explore the possiblity of a daughter-father relationship. They're fun to watch so that's at least something unlike the 5 princesses whatever that arc was (｡ŏ_ŏ)

I heard that Allendis is worse in the novel. He's okay and kinda bad in the manhwa but in the novel he kisses her while she's asleep (no consent), he thinks about killing her father, and he thinks about kidnapping her. He realizes that he's obsessed and chooses to go away for her savety. That's at least what I heard. I think it's a shame that the story was rushed by the end. There is so much that could've been explained in more detail and I want to know what happens with Allendis after the story ends. I don't like Allendis but I like his character. He's interesting, twisted and cute and I could read about him what feels like forever. He's one of the most unique characters I've ever read about.

I like it because genie is perfect in personality and power and beautiful to top it off

You get it. The characters and their interactions with each other is what sets this one apart from others. This is why this manhwa (and novel) is my favorite of the otome isekai genre. Would love to hear your thoughts on later seasons as well!

It's been two years. Are you alive, my dude?

Where can I watch this ??

As a light novel reader , only eckles abd derrick got character development. Others stayed the same 💀

What can you reed the on

Unless you serve under Nazarick, consider yourself dead 💀

Ughhh I am tired of authors giving the main couple's only stupid daughters and not sons 😤.

I was team Allendis but when I realized it was never going to happen. I switched gears to red boy…but then I had the horrific realization they were actually going to redeem her trash ex husband 🙃🙃 So I closed out and never went back

This manhwa is more like a healing process which means forgiveness and loving herself ❤

I still can’t believe I spent money on this comic… I’ve thought of going back to re-read what I’ve purchased just because the art is honestly gorgeous and the story (at least until the other girl gets summoned again) is pretty dang good. But I dropped it the second Tia basically dumped Allen and stopped hanging with Carsion because I knew exactly what was going to be happening from that point on.

that intro

You know if you read more and more the thicker the lore gets

My fav manhwa😂❤

Kim hajin is so mysterious he make one of the major Character Sweats when he found out he fighting Kim hajin💀

I just read the 1st manga, and I absolutely DESPISED Ruvless. And ever since began reading I believed him and Aristia wounldn’t be healthy. And knowing they fell in love In the finale SICKENS ME. He gave her false hope, humiliated her, and ever IMPREGNATED HER AT 17….Yeah, I really wish they never went there, I regret reading this, I couldn’t even finish the book because of how creepy and sad this is, and I feel so bad for Aristia, she deserves better…It’s really sad becuase I really wanted to LIKE this book, the art is BEUTIFUL, The story and first couple of chapters were good too, and I like the 19th century inspired Aristocratic Lolita-esque outfits, heck- the artist clearly has gone ALL OUT with this.

Uhhgggg! Uhhhggg! I feel sick Uhhhgggg!

The way Vita was acting like Aristia in timeline 1 was just meant to be a placeholder for Jieun and that’s why she wasn’t loved by Ruve and also why she got abused by him DESPITE the fact that Ruve also abused Jieun after Aristia died and everything went to shit after Aristia died. Doesn’t seem like Jieun is much of a blessed child in that aspect then is she. I lowkey feel like Vita was just bored fr because huh? He PURPOSEFULLY instigated shit and when everyone ended up dying he decided “oh damn, no more humans to play with, lemme restart time”. I feel like Aristia should’ve clocked that it was all a game and instead play by her own rules, I mean she did in the beginning but ended up succumbing to the same fate that was laid out for her, only this time she’s more expressive or smth and a bit more naive like Jieun which is probably what attracted Ruve to her in this timeline smh.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Aristia is trash.

People underestimate the poison's power, but it seems it was likely some sort of psychiatric medicine intentionally misused.. Still, I didn't hate ruve *much* because the 2nd timeline it was mostly a mix of miscommunications, but man I truly hate the 1st one.... Aristia should have ended with Carsein, all her hard work just went down the drain the moment she married ruve. The art style is cool and I kinda stuck around for it. I only re-read it because I liked the art and the side characters more than the protagonists lol

It was good at first, then the ending came it was bad ... very bad

I hope you cover the rest of the story too i love this manhwa . It's so rich with feeling and perspective. I love the MC as much as how she annoys me with her deficient understanding of others feelings like how she treated girl who wanted to be close with her badly in the hurting contest , with her always thinking the bad out of others specially Reynolds. She's imperfect, she suffered but she didn't devoloped she trearts everyone badly & put her self in a victim mentality to protect her self i understand that but i also want to see her step out a little and appreciate a bit how others are changing by her resistance & trying to trust her & connect to her . Thank you for this review please continue

this series is my favourite storyv right now

What webtoon is that? 6:54?

"A cheater" 😭👍

In second timeline I'm surprised to see the prince ruve totally changed and also he became too kind hearted person 😮😊😊😊

I really like the MC's(Penelope )true face, She's so pretty 🥰

didnt know straight romance existed in yaoi graphics

Tried to read it, when turns it wasnt a pissed off mentor wackinv her student behind the head for being stupid i dropped, i got folled by that tiktok where she just kick the dude off a cliff.

This should have been just a comedy like touch my brother and you're dead. If it was more like her having to basically redo a "get all the chicken in the inclosure" type quest it would probably have been a better story

Thank u

i agree with everything about reynold but everytime the video praises derrick i sit here flabbergasted does he. does he not know. TwT

I wanted to ask you a question please answer it please this manhwa (roxana)is completed or not ??????

In my honest opinion I think ML should have ended up with Jieun the girl he marries In the past life or some other girl that is not Aristia or maybe he should just end up alone with no one like yes I get that the current Ruve is different from past Ruve but I still don't want him with Aristia because of what happened in the past life and because Aristia deserves someone better like Allendis or Carsein ML does not deserve to be with Aristia after what he did to her in her past life he didn't even love her in the past life was abusing her and killed her father and killed her so to me he is a big red flag to Aristia maybe not so much of a red flag to other girls because he hasn't done that to other girls aside from what he did to Aristia in past life.

Penelope buying the war slave does come back to bight her later on.

I remember reading this manhwa to the ending and it was a waste of time I rather she have ended up with Allen or Carsein instead of with Ruve because in her past life she loved Ruve and she did everything so she can be with Ruve and he never loved her that way he was with that other girl and Ruve was mean to Aristia and he was the reason her father died in the past life and he abused her and he killed her the main reason I don't like him is because he was the reason her father was killed and he killed her also abused her and was mean to her like he shouldn't have done all that and been nice to her and she chose to be with him in her next life because he ended up loving her but why love someone that killed you in your previous life and did a lot of terrible things to you and another reason being that he did not love her in her past life she loved him and honesty Carsein or Allen would have been better for her like if I was her I wouldn't even give Ruve a chance if anything I would hate him for everything he did in the past life I don't care if he changed in her 2nd life he still should not have been with her in her 2nd life and there was a Manhwa story called Aidin that I was gonna read I thought it was gonna be good but I ended up dropping it after finding out that she is gonna end up with that ML who had her killed in her past life for a crime she did not commit that reminded me of the Abandoned Empress because he had her killed like Ruve killed Aristia so I gave up reading that Aidin Manhwa and dropped the story like why would the FL be with the ML who killed her in her previous life but she ended up with him if I was her I would hate him and never give him a chance.

This webtoon was so underrated but I’m pretty sad that the anime adaptation didn’t turn up how I expected it to be. I’m just hoping that who made me a princess webtoon which is getting a dohwa this year wouldn’t fail me
