I remember reading it three years ago when it was still ongoing, so I’m really happy I decided to read it now that it’s finally finished. It’s one of the first manhwas I ever read, so I have a special sentiment attached to it. I just wish it had a bit more romance and that the author had added side stories—I’m dying to see their babies. Still, I had a great time reading it, especially since a malewife/girlhusband dynamic is something I’ll never get tired of.
Seriously, ten out of ten stars for how this was just as great as the first time I read it!!
Letitia was AMAZING! I love that she is this girl boss who uses her wits! She doesn't have overly buff muscles or is out physically fighting the bad guys (though we have seen her face them), but instead she is being so cunning that even the devils themselves think she is more devious than them!
And honestly, seeing her ultimate scam to take down Belaire was absolutely fantastic!! Beating him at his own game when he is supposed to be the devil of wealth was deeply humorous and satisfying to see how he became a shell of his handsome self! Well, that is until he reveals his REAL self, which was quite scary!
There were also lots of wonderful moments between Letitia and Erden where you can truly see how deeply these two care for one another! Though, please, Erden, stop saying you and Letitia need to divorce! No, you do not!! I'm thankful his friend really questioned how he ACTUALLY felt because if it wasn't already obvious how much he loves his wife, then that internal conversation between him and Belaire said it all! LOL!
OH! For those who read this on Tapas digitally, a fun feature I found in this volume is that there is a bonus AU story!! EEEEPPP! I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see how it continues in the next volume!
Definitely another great volume that was full of lots of action, humor, and intrigue! I need the next volume ASAP!
I’m going to have to ask my library to buy the next volume because I NEED MORE OF THESE LOVABLE DORKS!!!! 😍🥰
Letitia and Erden are almost as bad as a certain other red haired/black haired couple of a certain fantasy shoujo manga (cough, if you know you know, cough) in admitting they really, REALLY like each other and always go about it in just the wrong, yet somehow sorta right, ways at the same time and it’s a mess but they’re trying SO hard it just made me feel sorry for them rather then frustrated, lol. And them being “parents” to the baby stone golems had me. Cracking. Up. This series takes both its serious notes and its comedy seriously and I love it for that so much.
Then we have Belaire who I thought was a girl at first due to his, er, unmanly clothing choices, shall we say? Seriously though I’m with Erden, what man wears a CROP TOP?! Belaire is vile no doubt (and not because of the crop top, haha) and him being scared of the “scammer couple” plus Erden snarling at him was the best thing ever. “Don’t leer at my wife!” will go down in history for me as one of the funniest things ever, up there next to the dragon and Erden looking murderous over Belaire grabbing Letitia’s arm, lol!
I will say I flunked math so all the finance and taking away Belaire’s money and all those shenanigans DEFINITELY flew over my head and had me going “errrr…” more then once, so I’m just trusting this is accurate, haha. Very unique way of taking down a bad guy in a fantasy story though! Though I suspect Belaire might be back in the future…guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
And the last piece of art with Erden and Letitia…!!! Stunning, I want to hang it on my wall it’s so pretty and sweet!
I’m excited to see where things go from here, plus I’m curious to see how the bonus light novel short story goes too!

I was bored and busy at the same time (again) . nothing special but not that bad actually ml is special , clumsy and cute , on the other hand the art is really impressive and beautiful , so not that bad for the end of this year even if it’s nothing but an ordinary comedy and not a masterpiece .
Art is good. Has been Harara's fan before she started making this webtoon.
MC is reincarnated with her past life's memories so she had to keep it to herself because people might think she's a witch. She then had to engage with the ML but they had to separate for years because ML went to war.
What unique in this story is the usage of modern technologies like ipad and burner. When other people are confused with how to use it, MC who was a modern woman knows to use the tech well.
Plus, she used her capitalism knowledge to destroy the demons. It was funny. Had to give it 4 star because it was quite boring FOR ME.
The story itself arranged like a quest. After she done this quest, she'll start another quest.
This was very cute and funny. The illustrations were very nice.
It is not my favorite love story but I really liked that there were no unnecessary conflicts and the relationship between the protagonists was always very beautiful.
This volume really took off! All the side quests and subplots came together in this one to uncover the deeper plot points and the motivating forces. Angels make an appearance to balance out the devils, there's some real politics in the human world to balance out all the unmitigated growth of Halstead. There's also an enemy that seems properly scary enough to be the "big bad". The devils have always been a bit comical and small up to this point, so it was nice to have a bit more gravity in this final volume. The ending was satisfying, as was the maturing of the central romance. And the art was particularly good!
One of the best manhwa I've read so far. I like how the story. It's not really focus in romance and every chapters are entertaining to read. I love how Letitia was so cunning and scammed all the grand evils. I also love how the main leads support each other.
It had some funny moments, but felt a bit repetitive because the whole book was about a character subplot that I didn't think needed to be added in, but was.
Overall, it was ok. Wasn't a fan of the version of hell bit.
Me quede en el cap 104 y AAAHHHH NECESITO SEGUIR LEYENDO, DEBO SABER QUE VA A PASAR Leticia te amo, Erden te amo, pero por primera vez amo más a tu esposa aunque sos re tierno muak
Faltered a bit in the last half. And I have to admit that I liked the unpolished art style of the first volume much more than this sleek and clean version.
Read this whole series in one day and really enjoyed it. Feels a little like beauty and the beast with a really clever and fun protagonist. A little different from the usual isekai.
