5.0

Drawing and coloration : 5/5
Story : 5/5
Cuteness : 5/5

Badass and witty female lead ✔️
Timid himbo love interest ✔️
Awesome variety of secondary characters ✔️
Wuxia setting with feuding martial art sects ✔️

I understand that the premise of this webcomic is maybe not the cup of tea of a lot of people that are understandably saturated with the isekai genre. However, I will say that the isekai setting of the lead dying and being reborn in a wuxia novel is in the very far background after just about the first chapter. It pops up now and then, but very faintly, to outline the internal struggle of Haweon concerning her identity. But it could just as well not be there. Sure, Haweon has knowledge of the plot, of the characters, of what is brewing (basically the main plot), but her taking up the role of the villainess and changing a LOT of thing from the get go makes the story change so much and minor characters have more importance that it doesn't come up much either, or only to say "the main plot is this, I need to make sure to do this to protect myself" or "this character is minor, I didn't know that this and that, what a rich inner life they actual got" etc. It could just as well be a straight up wuxia with a character that somehow take some plant, medecine or has a visit from a god and both change his ways and have some kind of partial clairvoyance.

Anyway, great read and I cannot wait for season 2. It's been one of the only webcomic I actually wanted to follow for a while (not that others are bad, I was just EXACTLY in the mood for this one in particular... I mean come on! look at the elements listed up top ahaha)
