read until: chapter 84 + 15 spin off chapters [completed]
ripley isn’t the smartest main character that isekai-ed over, but she’s one of the female heroines that didn’t care about the past and rather, focused on her future with the love she is receiving from everyone in her new life. other than that, i really liked how old and new ripley interacted, even in the little time they had together. even though ripley is quite oblivious, she managed to create tight knit bonds with people around her, i especially liked her relationship with her maid, sylvia.
zeronis and ripley were so hilarious together. at first, all the tactics in the world wouldn’t stop zeronis from stopping the marriage. then, ripley finally accepted that this is happening, the romance was cute and funny. what a sweet pair. they really been through a lot with the other on their side. the trust and love that developed throughout was really heartwarming. it’s nice to see zeronis being so open and different towards ripley while ripley loves him. overall, it was a really sweet series.
You can read The First Night with the Duke on Webtoons app. You get one free episode a day and 3 additional episodes a day if you watch an ad for each one. There’s about 100 episode in the series with 13 cute after the ending episodes. I kind of like to read web comics this way because I get a little treat each day, also I feel like watching ads kind of gives pay a little to the authors.
The first 3 volumes have been serialized in America and I’m happy about that! Sometimes it’s a good feeling to open an actual book and you can really get the look and feel for the graphics (which is the best part in comics).
The art style isn’t my favorite, I prefer realism with a lot of detail, but the sweet cartoon style isn’t bad either. It’s rather cute and you get the sweet feel for the series. The best part of the series for me is the leading lady, Ripley. I hate the orange (carrot) hair, but even she makes fun of her looks which I find amusing.
The story is what the title states, she spends the first night with the Duke, Zeronis, and everything kind of falls out of control or into place, depending on how you see it from that night. I really love the characters the creator created. Zeronis is the perfect side character to Ripley’s story. This is truly Ripley’s story. It’s about her falling into her favorite book world and the antics she goes through.
Ripley’s character is comical, lovable and strong. She’s one of my favorite leading ladies because of this. I love the way she presents herself and she truly doesn’t care what people think of her. I love that Zeronis never wavers and also has the heart eyes for Ripley. He’s simply cares for Ripley for who she is.
Overall, it’s a really good series to get sucked into. You can binge read everything in one go or like me, read a little a day to treat yourself to cuteness all the time until you finish the series.
¡¡¡QUÉ BUEN FINAL!!! (de tomo, por supuesto) Sospechaba del príncipe cuando Zeronis tenía tanta precaución, pero como no lo volvió a mencionar... Ahora, que el chabon haya tenido semejante plan macabro para obtener más poder y que el padre no lo haya parado, WTF?! Menos mal la prota tiene los ovarios bien puestos y termina como termina, en los brazos de su príncipe azul 💖 Cabe mencionar lo orgullosa que me siento por 2 cosas en particular: el negocio que se están armando las chicas y el hecho de que la pareja principal se quisiera casar en tremendas circunstancias. Me hizo acordar a las guerras mundiales donde muchos hicieron lo mismo y la desazón que deben haber sentido 😭
Aunque el final te deje con ganas de leer un poco más, no puede ignorarse que los volúmenes siguen extendiéndose como un chicle sin dar respuestas a las preguntas del primero.
Por su parte, el que los protagonistas se hayan enamorado resta en personalidad a ambos, puesto que se pierde la frescura de la trama inicial donde ambos jugaban sus propias cartas. En definitiva, terminaré este WebToon pero no parece que vaya a mejor...
1.5☆ Me hizo gracia lo del negocio, que le paso para hacer una producción extremadamente grande desde un inicio 🤣 Por otro lado... una parte de mi realmente detesta este tipo de situaciones en una historia... y siento que acá se sintió aún peor porque los protagonistas masculinos ya tienen actitudes altamente cuestionables y dejan mucho que desear. Esta circunstancia opaco por completo el volumen y no fue de mi agrado... aunque agradezco firmemente el final que me brindaron.

5 stars. Gosh this one tugged at my heart. Ripley and Zeronis love each other so much and I did tear up a little as he left for war. SCREW THAT UGLY FUGLY PRINCE. Sylvia really do be Ripley's rock most of the time we love her. Zeronis again continues to be husband goals.
