Summary
A Love that Melts Away a Poisonous Heart
Princess Angie endures a childhood of torment and abuse, all in preparation for the day she would be sacrificed to the Great Serpent that threatened the kingdom. On her 18th birthday, she approaches the Great Serpent, preparing for her imminent demise. However, much to her astonishment, Arbel, a young Margrave of Andalivia, intervenes and saves her life, declaring, ‘As promised, I’ve come to save you.’ Angie, having lost her sole purpose, feels devastated. Yet, with his gentle gaze, Arbel offers her a hand in her time of greatest need. Thus begins the bittersweet love story between a girl destined for death and the man who pledges to be her savior. “I want to stay by your side. I want to see you smile. Even if you forget me, even if I can never touch you.”

i love it so far but i feel like a lot can be changed. first of all i feel like the art style requires more rendering and details, some panels look extremely plain. i doesn’t bother me that much but it would definitely be more aesthetically pleasing
second of all i feel like the story is a little rushed, i’m gonna use some examples bellow so spoilers warning!!
‼️1st spoiler‼️
the whole beginning of Angie getting used to her new life was skipped it was just said that she started learning new stuff, one of her teachers was Arbel’s sister and she was an excellent student. i would like to focus more on that topic for example how did she perceive her teachers, what was tough / strange for her, talking about her progress and failures more etc
‼️2nd spoiler‼️
more of the characters’ background is required to understand their actions. when it comes to the previous Angie’s maid i absolutely got why she started causing problems so suddenly but when it comes to Arbel’s sister suddenly pulling up with “you don’t deserve to live because your dad offed my parents” was so rushed. i would love to see Arbel’s sister’ dislike towards Angie and Angie getting to know Arbel and Emily’s past first before finding out about all of the damage that has been done
overall i feel like the story has a huge potential and i’m looking forward for the next chapters yet some changes would really improve it! well done

This feels very… Lifeless. The art needs more consistency, the storyline is predictable and dead, and the characters are flat. I can’t get past the first three chapters. I wanted to like this so bad 🥲

I appreciate the run through bloopberry. Gives me a good idea of what I’m getting into.
