Lora_Dale5mthCommentedI’m holding my breath too, but for other reasons.
Elliot retrieved an arrow from his quiver, a long-range projectile with a hooked point and black feather fletching. His bulging muscles strained as he pulled back the bowstring. Maxi subconsciously held her breath.- Lora_Dale1yrPosted
You would feel all frustrations reading this novel (I’ve read until 854, and dropped it). Read at your own risk. > Female lead: 1. Personality - The FL has a wishy-washy attitude and can easily change her affections towards other people 😂. She describes herself as ‘rational’ and not prioritising love over anything, but would be vengeful when th FL played some tricks on her. 2. Character Design - The author just kept on describing her as ‘interesting’, or ‘female assassin’. Her background was not supported by facts - no mention of encounters of her past assassination attempts in modern world / the 2nd ML trained her but apparently she’s a lot better than him 🙄 / don’t know where she got the ‘healing abilities’ she had. And where did she learn about the teleportation technique? 3. Romance Plot - She could easily trust the person she thought who betrayed her (2nd ML), and constantly doubts the ML’s feelings and sincerity. 4. Lead’s Halo - The FL’s halo was pure gold. Everybody’s attracted to her (except Yang Chen, who I love the most), despite her non-virtuous character in an ancient set-up. By the way, she managed to kiss both male leads as of this chapter (she always did not like their kisses, as if a modern woman would never understand physical intimacies right?). > Male Lead - There was certain inconsistency in his character development. I liked his cold and righteous character at first, but then it dwindled down when he tried to change his rules and beliefs for the sake of the FL. He also saved the FL’s ass multiple times and she’s an ungratefull b*tch. I thought his tricks to get the FL’s attention were way below him as a heavenly being. I was really hoping that he would give up on her and just focus on his own life. > 2nd ML - I found his character consistent. I felt bad for him because he suffered from the FL’s wishy-washy attitude, like saying that she wants to focus on him and love him but she still felt icky towards him. I rooted for him when the FL has decided to choose him, but then she suddenly changed her mind 😂. I would like him to realise that the FL only loves herself. I hope they would leave her alone and not help her at all. > Yang Chen (minor character) - Good thing he never fell in love with the FL. He deserves someone loyal and affectionate. His prejudice on FL was based on facts, and his change was consistent with the plot.

the visuals
Dark red blood dripped from the monster's face. Clenched between its thick lips was a disembodied green arm, and the limp corpse of a goblin hung from its stubby hand. The ogre sucked the arm into its mouth, swallowing it whole. - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
I love him and hate his guts at the same time.
"Exactly that," he said again. - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
Oh gosh. Stop itt… He’s gonna fall for you
Blinking listlessly, Maxi tried to imagine the Temple Knight commander stashing the feathers in his pocket. A small chuckle slipped out. Kuahel stared at her in bafflement, clearly unsettled by the giggle of a woman on the brink of collapsing. - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
I feel giddy though that they’re together in this challenge. There’s something between them that mixes them always. Can’t wait to know how Riftan would react though.
Maxi's eyes widened. She was not the only person who had leaped into the secret passageway. To her surprise, the two goblins lay in a crimson puddle. Kuahel Leon towered over them, wiping the blood off his sword. - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
Uly love, don’t interrupt them?!?!
Before she could finish, there was a clattering sound, and Ulyseon came out of the knights' tent. Rubbing his nape to dispel his drowsiness, he walked over to the fire. - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
Didn’t you ask him?
Maxi bit her lip. She did not dare ask what he meant. The hairs on her arm stood on end, and she glowered at Ruth resentfully. How could he burden her with such a big secret when she already had enough things to worry about? - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
Both of their luck is just f*cked 😂
Sidina nodded, dabbing her sleeve on the corners of her red eyes. "Just my luck to draw the short straw." - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
There’s nothing wrong bub.
Ulyseon looked up quizzically from polishing his sword. "Is something the matter, my lady? Are you feeling unwell?" - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
This man’s mouth is really just.
"If I remember correctly, you've already failed them twice," Riftan scoffed. "I would not make such grand promises if I were you." - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
Well…Miriam’s spitting facts here and there 😂
Miriam glared at him as though he were a pathetic insect. "Do you honestly not grasp the seriousness of the situation? We've just learned that the dark mages have built a veritable nation of monsters! And here you are gleefully dusting your hands, claiming we've accomplished our mission!" - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
It’s okay Uly
"He wanted to join the search party, but Sir Hebaron denied his request citing a lack of experience. He's currently fuming. He can be terribly snappy when he's upset, that fellow." - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
What I love about this author is how she portrayed the non-verbal side of each character. Giving us an opportunity on how to interpret such behaviour. In this case, I find this side of Riftan as protective with glimpse of a cold heart because of what happened in the past.
He looked at her calmly in silent reassurance before turning back to the model. His eyes glinted coldly, and his long, thick lashes drooped a little as if to conceal them. After maintaining his silence for a while, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and walked them to the entrance. - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
Let her take care of you — you big and cuddly bear!!! That’s her expression of love, she wants to serve you too.
"I once went a fortnight on only water. Nothing will happen to me just because I went without for a few days, so stop your needless worrying. Eat. I need you to get through this until we find the others." - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
I feel like Riftan is a whole package now. Wife protector + nanny + angry parent, now he’s a freakin’ mattres. Please give him head-rubs Max 😉.
Holding her in his arms, Riftan lay on the clothes spread over the ground. He made sure to tuck the remaining garments around her. Lying on top of him, Maxi slipped into a light sleep. - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
Love the man with priorities 😅. Forgive us Riftan, my girl’s just thirsty for 3 years and your closeness is not even helping the situation right now. But yeah, better to talk it out for now.
"This is the second time you almost died before my eyes," he said slowly. "And now you're hungry and cold, covered in bruises in a dingy cave. I didn't want to do that with you here, of all places." - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
Tell him that you love him, without telling him that you love him.
Not wanting him to think her wanton, she hastily added, "I-It's been three years, after all. Though it wasn't the most ideal situation… I loved… being in your a-arms again." - Lora_Dale1yrCommented
She’s an independent woman 👏👏👏 Admitting what you want - leasure wise.
Twiddling her fingers, Maxi looked away and mumbled, "I-I… e-enjoyed it… just the same."
