더 이상 사랑하지 않는다 [Deo Isang Saranghaji Anhneunda]

I Don't Love You Anymore (Novel) #1-5

by Eun Hae Yoon, ZAF (Illustrator), 은해윤

니베이아에게 세상은 언제나 겨울 같았다.

하녀의 소생이라며 무시하는 사람들과 냉랭한 부모님.
엄동설한에 홀로 떨어져 벌벌 떨어도 돌아보는 이 없는,
그야말로 삭막한 겨울이었다.

하루하루 인형처럼 살아가던 중, 니베이아는 약혼을 했다.
선친들끼리 맺은 태중 혼약이었다.
상대는 외스타슈 공작가의 발레르 외스타슈.

모든 비극의 시작이자, 빌어먹을 사랑의 시작이었다.

"사랑에는 때가 있어요. 당신은 그걸 전부 놓쳤고,
나는 더 이상 당신을 사랑하지 않아요."

니베이아는 10년간 단 한 번도 자신을 돌아보지 않았던 약혼자를 두고 돌아섰다.
그리고, 제국을 떠났다.

이웃나라의 황후로서.이곳에서는 아무것도 기대하지 않고, 그저 조용히 살려고 했는데.
자신을 향한 황제의 태도가 지나치게 다정하다.

"나는 그대가 행복했으면 해.
그대가 원하는 것이 있다면 무엇이든 할 수 있고,
사람들의 눈치를 보지 않아도 되는 계절을 주고 싶어."

아렌트를 만난 후, 니베이아의 겨울이 넘쳐흐르기 시작했다.
눈이 녹는 봄을 향해.

The ending is kinds rushed but at least all major issues are nicely tied. Not gonna deny, i rolled my eyes whenever Baler showed up and I even questioned wth he popped up way too frequent but then I realised the title itself is referring to him so...

I wish the art had been better. The story started good but then got boring and the ending felt rushed, although apparently the novel ends the same way.

I was kind of excited during the beginning of this manhwa as I love Nevaeh's character. She's smart, she knows what to do, and is cunning. But because of her trauma, she kind of swept by her emotions and there are some scenes where I find her naive or boring. The flow of the story was good at first, but then it became repetitive, as some scenes were repeated in every panel. There's nothing remarkable as the story progresses and the last part of this manhwa just shows us how both Arendt and Nevaeh came to realize their feelings for each other. As they are both hurt from their past relationships, it's understandable how each of them became careful and made sure that the emotions that they were feeling were real. Though I'm a bit disappointed with how Nevaeh admitted her feelings, I can say that they both dared to tell each other. I love how they both communicate and support each other. The ending seems rushed and it just focuses on their confession. I was lowkey hoping that there would be another arc to happen but it didn't.

~2.5 rounded up

The plot and art are pretty good, but the characters, especially the main female protagonist, aren't likable. They have horrific communication skills and self-sacrifice syndromes that both push the narrative forward and backward. It's a necessary part of their growth but also very headache-inducing. It does have some great angsty regret scenes from the former fiance' which is really what I came here to read.

It started well enough, then the plot became messy and uninteresting. It was not the coming of age love story I expected.

Hubiera estado mil veces mejor con 30 capítulos menos.

I was interested at first, but the plot just wasn’t my cup of tea.

I enjoyed this but mostly for Arendt. Despite originally not wanting love he was lovely and had a huge heart. Nevaeh was able to get back at her emotionally abusive ex in the best way. Just being happy and finding peace elsewhere. Nothing too crazy. She just… moved on. It was a cute story.
