The "grand" return of the Lady Vengeance
Starts with the female protagonist being this strong fighter surviving an arena fight against big tigers but then you never really see her do much with that. You see her climbing/walking on roofs to spy + she "takes down" two guys but that's it. I wish they did more. The last chapters felt very random, introducing new characters that felt like they were important but then the story ends and you know nothing. While the characters looked good visually, this wasn't a satisfying read. Oh, the art style randomly changes (the first style is more "modern") too. The reincarnation/

two different people in one body (Charlotte/Loren) made the story confusing in my opinion, but that's mainly because there just wasn't enough development. The romance part between Loren and the prince was frustrating, could've been much better. Stupid decisions made on both sides and the pacing felt weird. Loren gets easily influenced

but the last panel makes it seem like the ending has been cut off. I don't know if the author was planning on continuing/making a second part of the story, but if this ending was intentional then it was bad. I saw on MangaToon that this manhua was listed as ongoing while on anilist and other places like bilibilicomics it's marked as complete. Well, hopefully it's ongoing and maybe some day we'll get answers. In the end, the title made me interested in reading this but was left disappointed. I think this story would've been more interesting if it was Charlotte and not Loren.
