Mura and Bi Reoyem T.T
And I hate the emperor! What's that kind of order (Threat)?! We get to see a glimpse of his childhood and I symphatize with him, but it doesn't make him the god to destroy the things he couldn't have! Frustrating!

And what about Soah refusing to eat the bando? What will become of her and Habaek?

This. Volume. Is. Fvcked. Up. There is just so much going on, two characters lost, and replaced by two new ones (Which I have no idea who they are). Reading this felt like untangling a very complicate web. god A loves goddess A, but goddess A loves god B who sided with god C who happened to be the brother of god A, so god A was even more hostile coz their mother goddess B chose his brother over him. See what I'm saying? And I'm only talking about the first generation which entails the past/history. And I can't begin to speak of how complicated the second/current generation is, my feelings are already invested in this Manhwa and that is the reason why I am annoyed, and infuriated as to where this is going, whether human or not, even if you're a god, love makes you stupid. And this actually disappointed me, like can they be more tactical? A war is about to come but look at them! Doing nothing but dumb decisions. *sigh*

The attention to detail with the covers and art style is fantastic. Another good volume.

This issue is a whirlwind of exciting pot progression. Really glad I came back to this series.

I like Mura, she is so destructive.

It had a bit of a slower start, but then that ending! I definitely wasn’t expecting that. There is so much unexpected sadness in this.

So beautiful and so sad. What a great volume.

The plot is getting better with Mui's mother backstory.
And that makes the main story seems duller. Too predictable. When the mother's plot is more interesting than the main one.

I feel like I should have been more emotional, but it's hard to be invested in these characters we spend so little time with. There's so much hopping around.

[Audrey Arnold · Rating 3 out of 5]

The tension is definitely rising. I'm glad to see that the plot has finally gotten more suspense.

There were a lot of “oh shit” moments in this one! A very intense volume. Not sad about Mura. Her jealousy was driving me nuts.

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Even though I'm hoping for a happy ending for all, I know that wont happen >.< This is the first time I've stayed loyal to a series with tragedy in it, but I guess it's worth it in the end. This is a really interesting story :)

[Amy Gideon · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was probably one of the more cohesive volumes. I wish the heroine was less indecisive. She'll make a decision only to change direction in the next volume.

For such pretty gods, why are they all so doggone unhappy?!

[Ella · Rating 5 out of 5]

My face went like this: O.O from reading the manga, the whole entire time.

[Ella · Rating 5 out of 5]

That's a cruel way to put Soah and Habaek together. Mui in his Habaek form. That's cruel to Soah and she doesn't know what's going on.

Twists and turns are killing me.

[Addie · Rating 5 out of 5]

the art is so pretty! love this series, although this is a sad volume :(

[Meme · Rating 4 out of 5]

After 13 volumes one would hope this girl would acquire some spec of common sense....or, stop lying to herself about trusting Mui. Give it up. You just want things to go your way but always play the poor me card when you mess up...again. *sighs*

Double plot-twist ending and vital back story in this volume! Mui, Soah, and Biryeom go to face Mura and get the last of the immortal fruit. Mura faces Mui and demands he make an impossible decision. We also learn how the war between the current and former emperor began, and why the current emperor seemingly has it out for Mui.
