Description

Lucius tied her hands tightly above her head, planting soft kisses along Freya’s neck and shoulders. Freya could no longer relax as his lips brushed against the peak of her chest, which had hardened in excitement. “Oh, this feels weird,” she moaned. His hand slid toward Freya’s exposed belly, and as he reached her most sensitive spot, caressing it gently, Lucius suddenly let out a low groan. “Freya, I can’t take it any longer.” His ere*t manhood, threatening to spill its evident desire, penetrated her insides at once. *** Freya grew up ab*sed in her orphanage. She picked up Ruth, a beautiful boy with blonde hair and green eyes who had fallen down in the yard. ‘Freya, I have only you.’‘No matter what happens, I won’t let go of your hand.’ But one day, Ruth suddenly disappeared, and that was the last memory she had of him. And three years later, Freya became a servant of the mad prince. “I will give you the honor of being my servant,” said the prince. However, things began to get strange as Freya is constantly entangled with the prince. She wants to keep distance from him, but her efforts were in vain. Blonde hair, pale skin, and thin red lips. Crown Prince Lucius held dark blue eyes, so different from the Ruth Freya knew in many ways. ‘He’s not Ruth. But why… do I remember Ruth?’

My Thoughts on When the Mad Emperor Suddenly Becomes Sweet

"When the Mad Emperor Suddenly Becomes Sweet" is a web novel that certainly throws you into the deep end. With genres like adult, fantasy, and romance, I went in expecting a certain level of intrigue and spice. Did it deliver? Well, it's complicated.

First Impressions

My initial reaction mirrored that of many other readers: confusion. The opening chapters are disorienting, jumping between timelines and introducing characters without much context. I found myself struggling to understand the relationships and motivations, especially with the initial focus on a heated scene that felt disconnected from the rest of the story. It's like being dropped into the middle of a movie without knowing the characters or the plot.

What Works Well

Despite the rocky start, I found that the story does find its footing eventually. The female lead, Freya, is a character that many seem to connect with. Her strength and resilience, especially considering her difficult childhood, are admirable. I also appreciated the world-building, which, while initially obscured by the confusing timeline, eventually creates a compelling European-inspired setting. Once I got past the initial hurdles, I found myself invested in Freya's journey and her relationship with the "mad" emperor.

Areas of Concern

The timeline is definitely a major issue. The constant flashbacks and time skips make it hard to follow the plot and connect with the characters. I also had some reservations about the age gap between Freya and the emperor, especially given the story's focus on romance and smut. While the author does address Freya's age, it still felt a bit uncomfortable at times. The pacing could also be improved. The early chapters focusing on Freya's childhood felt drawn out, while other plot points seemed rushed.

Final Verdict

"When the Mad Emperor Suddenly Becomes Sweet" has potential, but it's hampered by its confusing structure and uneven pacing. While the female lead is likable and the world-building is intriguing, the story needs some refinement to truly shine. If you're willing to stick with it through the initial confusion, you might find something to enjoy, but be prepared for a bumpy ride.
