Like No stitching evil stepmother‘s launch earlier than, Father, I do not need this marriage‘s supply novels had been translated and beforehand revealed by WordExcerpt. For some inexplicable purpose, this Korean novel translation group has stopped making her books out there exterior of the serialized format out there on their web site. (Solely half two of Daddy, I do not need to get married at present seems on Amazon(though three have been launched bodily and for Kindle.) That is dangerous information for individuals who favor to learn supply novels earlier than they manhwa diversifications or to learn books with out scrolling, however Inklore’s bodily launch of Yuri and Roal’s comedian adaptation takes a number of the sting out of it. It will not be Hong Heesu’s authentic, but it surely’s devoted to it and nonetheless a strong tackle the reincarnated villain style.
The story follows a Juvelian, the eighteen-year-old daughter of Duke Floyen. Her father raised her alone (we do not but know what occurred to her mom), however just for a unfastened definition of the time period – Juvelian grew up feeling uncared for by her chilly father. When she made her debut in society, she was determined for optimistic consideration, whereas additionally being taught that dangerous conduct would earn her a some discover, and with this horrible mixture, she set her sights on Mikhail, a good-looking younger nobleman. To Juvelian’s chagrin, issues didn’t finish properly, and she or he ended her days within the dungeon.
However as is common in these sorts of tales, she will get a second probability… as another person. The occasions recounted within the paragraph above passed off in a collection of novels, one which the present Juvelian was studying earlier than her premature dying in a ubiquitous isekai site visitors accident. When the guide begins, she is 4 days away from realizing what is occurring. As a result of she has zero curiosity in dying violently once moreshe instantly begins engaged on altering her prescribed ending. First precedence? Break up with Mikhail, after which present those that she’s not the tantrum-throwing girl she as soon as was. However what she doesn’t understand is that her father, somebody she’s given up on primarily based on how he’s “raised” his daughter by means of neglect, sits up and takes discover. He’s involved that she’s damaged up along with her boyfriend, and all of the sudden his daughter’s happiness turns into essential to him.
The implication right here, after all, is that he by no means thought he was neglecting Juvelian within the first place. In his thoughts, he was letting her reside her life with out his harmful work because the king’s sword and the crown prince’s tutor, and when he sees that she’s sad sufficient to interrupt up with the person he thought she was going to marry, he springs into motion. Duke Floyen’s reactions to what he assumes is his daughter’s damaged coronary heart present that he does care; he is simply horrible at expressing it. Later within the guide, we additionally get the distinct impression that the king has threatened the duke with the promise of hurt to Juvelian if he rebels, so Duke Floyen’s obvious coldness may be an act to maintain the king from realizing how a lot he loves his daughter. His actions because the guide progresses assist that studying, as as soon as his pupil comes into the image, plainly Max is jealous of how a lot Floyen loves his daughter.
Though Max is ostensibly the male lead, we don’t see a lot of him on this guide. We study sufficient to know that his father was even worse to him than Juvelian thinks her father was to her, and that he felt Floyen was his solely true ally. So when the Duke begins to pay extra open consideration to Juvelian, Max turns into enraged: in his thoughts, Duke Floyen is abandoning him, simply because the King had. Juvelian compares Max to a feral cat who desires to be beloved however can’t convey himself to belief folks, and that’s a reasonably apt description. When Juvelian, who has no thought who Max is, isn’t afraid of him regardless of his finest efforts, he turns into confused to the purpose of fascination. He can’t determine Juvelian out, which looks as if a brand new feeling for him, although he’s held on so tightly to himself for thus lengthy that possibly it’s extra that he’s by no means allowed himself to really feel something aside from distrust and unnoticed worry.
The romance doesn’t actually come into play till the final quarter of the guide, however that’s no downside. Juvelian’s relationship along with her present function within the novel and along with her father is way extra essential in setting the scene, as she has to vary her character from the bottom up. The place E-book Juvelian was coldly mocking in response to her father’s perceived neglect, Present Juvelian is working diligently to develop into a greater individual. She doesn’t essentially need to be the belle of excessive society, however she’s acutely conscious that she wants individuals who not less than considerably like her if she desires to keep away from dying; merely breaking apart with Mikhail in all probability gained’t be sufficient. (His response backs that up—he’s simply as dangerous as E-book Juvelian was.) The title comes from Duke Floyen’s choice that he ought to assist Juvelian discover a new suitor, whereas she’s extra occupied with dwelling a quiet life below the radar, one thing we, seasoned readers of the villain style, know isn’t going to occur.
Roal’s artwork makes good use of coloration, with largely pastel shades filling the pages. Juvelian’s eyes can generally look a bit of cross-eyed, and their drooping outer corners do not at all times look nice, however general the artwork is charming and simple to observe. There are a number of pages of congratulatory fanart from different manhwa artists within the again, however the textual content is not translated and we’re not instructed who the artists are, which is my largest gripe with this quantity. However general the guide is a easy learn and simple to get into, with the ending making it crucial to select up quantity two when it comes out.
Father, I do not need this marriage‘s first installment is an pleasing time. It could not reinvent the reincarnated villain subgenre of isekai, but it surely performs properly inside its construction, and that is virtually extra essential. When you get pleasure from a villainous story crammed with lovely artwork of a royal fantasy world, give this a strive.
