Beatrice vol. 1 *:•⚘ ๋࣭ 𓂃 3.0 /5 ★ 𓂃☘︎ ݁ ˖ Mid story but I love the couple together haha they're so cute lol. I don't care about the side characters or the storyline, it didn't do it for me. Beatrice and Archduke moments together the one carrying this manhwa. Occasionally have some funny moments too like when everyone thinking that the Archduke was gay lmaoo
I don't have really anything to say about this. It's Nice read and definitely beautiful art but the plot is weak.
I was definitely intrigued by the pretty cover but went into this with mid expectations. So far I really like it; it's darker than I had anticipated, often times these pseudo European-esque medieval settings feel a bit too fluffy. Beatrice, also known as Chloe, is a fun character - her being originally from our world is rarely referred to but she's already had her (second) life flipped over multiple times. She's appropriately frightened when faced with threatening circumstances but shows her strength and resilience in other areas. It's fun to see her with her apothecary knowledge and her enthusiasm for it and learning in general. I enjoyed the art and there are several fun side characters.
This is shaping up to be a slow burn - there's virtually no romance in the first volume. Duke Alessandro is as cold and calculating as they come and while we don't know his full backstory yet, there's enough shown to see why he largely holds women or the idea of love and marriage in contempt. He is ruthless and cruel in a way that can be off putting but I expect to see some character development from him. While he has no care for Beatrice and doesn't recognise her as Chloe, she is completely terrified of him so there will definitely need to be some work to get any romance going.
I'm so torn. Not a lot has been revealed about the Duke to redeem his cruelty. But Chloe is adorable, resilient, and intelligent. She reminds me of Maomao and I want to continue the series just to see more of her. But I'm also kind of revolted that her love interest is the villainesque medieval Bruce Wayne character, no matter how hot he is. The art is gorgeous, though.
A fallen princess, a conquered kingdom, and a second chance at life. Beatrice opens with heartbreak as Princess Beatrice of Elpasa loses everything to Duke Alessandro. But instead of breaking, she adapts—and honestly, that’s what hooked me right away. Watching her embrace hard labor and reclaim her identity (goodbye long hair 👋) makes her such a refreshing and resilient FL.
The tension between Beatrice (aka Chloe) and Duke Alessandro is 👀✨. Their interactions are subtle but charged, and I can already sense a slow-burn romance coming. The question of whether her true identity will be exposed keeps the story suspenseful and addictive.
And can we talk about the art? Absolutely gorgeous. From the elegant outfits to the soft yet dramatic expressions, every panel feels luxurious and immersive.
Overall, this is a strong start with a compelling FL, political tension, and romance waiting to ignite. I’m definitely staying for the next chapters 💜
🌹 Rating: A promising read with beautiful art & slow-burn vibes
3.5 Thank you to the Publisher for the Digital Review Copy.
I thought this was interesting and I would like to see more from it.
I love Chloe/Beatrice and found her wayyyy more intriguing as a character and I hope future novels focus on her a bit more since she is the titular character. She is really dynamic and fascinating!
I think I've started reading this at one point in time, but I can't remember where I left off. I think the story is interesting, and I really like the characters so far. Hopefully it will start picking up pace soon and more things will start happening.
ardzo głupiutki i naiwny tytuł, choć przez większość czasu całkiem przyjemny. Jednak liczyłam na coś poważniejszego, a dostałam ciepłą historię, grubymi nićmi szytą z takimi zbiegami okoliczności i magii, że miałam czasami ochotę walić głową w ścianę. Trochę dla mnie za słodkie.
Segunda vez que lo leo y sigue siendo de mis favoritos sin duda, no pongo 5 estrellas porque es muy lento el desarrollo hasta el capítulo 60 o más por fin se besan, pero es una maravilla!
Technically 4.5 stars, but since GoodReads still doesn't let us give partial stars I had to leave it as a four. I took points away because the artwork isn't that appealing to me, but the story is good.
2.5 rounded up for the beautiful art. The story has some issues with both pacing and the use of slavery (it knows slavery is bad but isn't great at showing it), but I'd buy a poster of that cover.
