Description
The iron widow, the spider widow, male hunter, the witch of Neuwanstein castle, the embarrassment of noble ladies……. These were all the words used to describe the Marchioness, Shuri Van Neuwanstein. Despite receiving such criticism from the world, she raised her ‘children’, who were unrelated to her by blood and were old enough to be called her siblings. And finally, on the day of the first son Jeremy’s wedding, she felt that all her hard work had tied all the loose ends together. But she had been terribly mistaken. After hearing the message requesting her to not attend the wedding, she got caught up in an accident and died while leaving the castle. When she opened her eyes, she woke up on the day of her husband’s funeral, seven years ago. I refuse to suffer any more. I won’t live as I had in the past a second time!

My Thoughts on A Stepmother’s Marchen
"A Stepmother’s Marchen" is a web novel that really pulled me in, even with its heavy themes of drama and tragedy. It's a story about a young woman, Shuri, who becomes a stepmother at a very young age and the complex family dynamics that follow. The novel explores her journey through hardship and her attempts to build a genuine connection with her stepchildren.
First Impressions
Initially, I was a bit hesitant. The premise of a young girl marrying an older man and becoming a stepmother seemed like a minefield of potential pitfalls. However, the quality of the writing and the depth of the characters quickly won me over. The story immediately throws you into Shuri's difficult situation, and I found myself empathizing with her struggles from the very beginning.
What Works Well
I found the character development to be one of the strongest aspects of the novel. Shuri is far from perfect, and that's what makes her so relatable. She makes mistakes, has her own worries, and doesn't suddenly become a flawless protagonist after her rebirth. The author does a great job of portraying her growth and maturity as she navigates her challenging circumstances.
The portrayal of the noble society and its impact on the characters' lives is also well-executed. The story doesn't shy away from showing the harsh realities of the time period and how societal expectations can shape a person's destiny. The relationships between Shuri and her stepchildren are complex and realistic, with moments of both conflict and tenderness. The slow burn of familial love is truly heartwarming.
Areas of Concern
Some readers might find the initial age gap between Shuri and her late husband, Johannes, unsettling. I can understand this concern, but the story does address the societal norms of the time and explores the complexities of their relationship without romanticizing it. There are also some concerns about Shuri's initial treatment by her stepchildren, but I think it's important to remember that they are also dealing with their own grief and trauma.

Final Verdict
Overall, I highly recommend "A Stepmother’s Marchen." It's a well-written and emotionally resonant story that explores themes of family, forgiveness, and personal growth. Despite its darker elements, it ultimately offers a message of hope and the power of human connection. If you're looking for a novel with complex characters, a compelling plot, and a touch of historical drama, this is definitely worth a read.
