The Duchess With An Empty Soul

I love their story flow, plot & character development..

But the translation, repeating & missing chapters is making me so mad 💢 the climax chapters are missing! Alot of them!

Overall the story itself its very nice! Happy ending i suppose?

beautiful story

So. After 100+ chapters Id say this is another very commum, very beaten up case of 'female protagonist is isekai/go back in time as a noble and becomes a girlboss'. The MC herself is not a bad character. She is very well developed as all as the ML, which is surprising for this kind of story. The plot itself are not as tropey as the main couple, but they also are very VERY one dimensioned and any plot-twist is so obvious thay you can see a mile away. Add that to the protagonist having a HEAVY case of mary sue, you get a story with predicable villans and predicable plot and no risk or stakes because the mary sue never ever loses. Ever. 
Edit: forgot to say that While Id not read again, I also can safely say Ive read much worse. Also, if you are going to read this, look into another site. The translation here was atrocious and they keep changing all names including the main characters. 6/10 for all but 2/10 for the translation here

IM- ik i only read the prologue but her lover cheated on her with HER COUSIN and HES A BOY!?!?!? AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAAH OMG LMAO IM SO SO SORRY- BUT ITS SO FUNNY😭💀

Delightful read. FL and ML are badasses and huge supporters of each other. There's only some communication gaps between them that they resolve pretty soon. The female characters have interesting character arcs which is great, especially considering the majorly patriarchal society this story is centered on.
4.5/5, simply because there were some parts that didn't need to be dragged out.

I'll be truthful and try my best here since this is my first review (i think)

This is a love/regression story that sometimes feels too prolonged in some chapters and oh the chapters 

Very often you'll find chapters with poor translations or no translations at all wich makes your brain hurts when reading

In the end i do recommend this manhwa due to it's beautiful (and sometimes cute) art style but bear in mind that it's better reading it somewhere else than here

Greetings. Ivern here. And everywhere. I am an entity who was granted ubiquity by the universe, so I kinda am omnipresent. That's also why you see me in all comment sections of this site. I am magical~ and not just a weeb that wastes his free time on comics, thank you very much. 

Anyway, I bring you a review. This one is a classic, bois. It has been going for a loong, looong time. We are dealing with a regressor. It just so happens that, gasp, how did you know?! Yes, she is a young noble lady scorned by infidelity. And this time, the piece of [REDACTED] is a fruity boi! How scandalous! How daring! But that's not all! She has magical summoning powers! Not a particularly original plot, yeah, almost as old as my jokes are getting at this point. So I'll cut the cr**.

What does have it to offer? That's easy. Claude. Claude is a fantastic ML. He is quite simple, but still very nuanced in his characterization. A gentle boy, crushed by expectations, who will learn to desire for himself. Then we have FL: Ivona is... fine. Honestly, I've seen better in the same archetype. It took her 90 chapters to finally stop being a stubborn as a mule, but we got there. Honestly the whole "I kiss him, trust him, find him cute, handsome, I love him but I AM NOT IN LOVE I SWEAR" gets kinda old. But then again, we have the antagonists. Tristan is obviously the better written one, being the despicable little manipulative psychopath that he is, but Gaspar is still plenty hateable in his own right with his bombastic idiocy and impotent narcisism. They are a gay couple, and coincidentally they are also [REDACTED] that belong in Hėll. Just like me. Mmmh? Oh yes I am gay too. But get it straight: I'll go to hėll for the the abominable warcrimes I committed in Eastern Europe during the 60s. They are going because they are cringy. We are not the same.

So this is the cast. Quite acceptable. As for the art and the writing, we have two opposite developments in each aspect. The art starts ok, and then actually gets better and better with the second and third season. Say goodbye to Claude's cowliked hairdo, we won't miss it. The writing and pacing start good, and then the Fall Harvest arc comes down like an elephant dropped from 3000 miles on a god**** orphan. Timmy won't walk anymore, I'm afraid: the fastest he will go will be a snail's pace. The translation of the last part doesn't help, at fuc**** all. The pacing suffers a bit. But could be worse.

All in all, it does have a great love story to tell. It does have some good social commentary, too, sprinkled around. And the the plot, when it's not meandering, is quite good. The 4 star rating doesn't really do it justice, so I'm giving it a 8- on the Ivern Scale™️, my recommendation and a pat on the back. For good luck.
