Saving the Villain from the Heroine

DNFThis nonsensical plot… 😑

The whole point of the adoption was to break the FL’s curse and return to her actual age yet there is almost no action to actually break the curse. It just stretches out the story.

In fact, the plan was to break her curse and get into an arranged marriage with Ferzei. But they can’t do that legally because of the very large age gap. So…instead of breaking the curse to make the FL’s older again, Ferzei just decides to voluntarily curse himself to make himself young…?

Edited to remove profanity after I calmed down

I have to finish all that I start. If not I would have dropped it long ago. So much is lacking but at least it isn't out right horrible. Just rather boring without much meat to it. I don't mind when things 'just happen' as long as there's some logic to it, which this manga lacks :,(

Read 68 chapters

All the main characters, including the female lead, have serious problems with their heads. The plot is so shallow that a person couldn't drown if they tried.

At best the actions of the characters could be described as whimsical, ridiculous, illogical, and capricious. At worst the actions of the characters could be described as everyone moving from one state of confusion to next while giving no f**ks and screwing around blind to the future.

The comment that came before me, "bro stop, im getting brain damage from this", is quite accurate. I'm not a person who even cares if a story is brain dead, but this story is bad enough that it's really fun to trash. This is the first korean webcomic I have read where I legitimately think the person who created it and anyone willing to monetize off it think that humans will read complete garbage as long as it has been wrapped nicely.

I'm reading it because it was a bit weird and I'm bored. I read lots of flawed stuff and don't care. It must have at least some value for me to read it. However, the second I sit back and take a moment to think I realize that this story makes no sense.

Once again, I'm not a person who usually trashes stories in reviews, but this one is just so bad it's fun to trash. I think that most people wouldn't find their lives any worse off it they didn't read part of this story.

I know some people like the doting family theme (people like me). I must admit that the way the everyone falls in love with the female lead is extremely poorly executed! Why would anyone see the female lead as anything more than a friend or acquaintance at best? The other characters' emotions and thoughts are a complete black box.

I have a very strange feeling while reading this story ever since the very beginning. The feeling is something like, "Have I missed reading about 10-15 chapters? Things sure aren't making sense yet!" The feeling doesn't seem to dissipate even as I read more chapters.

The story drags on a lot, with time skips that throw you out the loop. While I love the characters and their dynamics, they have nothing to show apart from being cute. No development, no motives or any strong aspirations. The original character of the MC initially still kept their adult disposition after a few chapters she was reduced to an actual child. I lost interest after 45 chapters.

Aims to be cute, it is cute, even though sometimes it crosses some lines and overly indulges in the theme. Other than being cute and having pretty good art, the manga is underwhelming in every other aspect.

started off strong but turned painfully awful to read. Fl slowly acting like a complete child totally ruined her character which was shown in very early chapters and how quickly such a cold blooded family fell head over heals for a grown woman who turned into a child seemed unnatural. Disappointed since I enjoyed the promo but the manhwa is starting to fall way below that. There’s better family manhwa out there compared to this one

On the positive side I think the art is really cute
