REVIEW: My Gently Raised Beast (manhwa, vol. 2) original story by Early Flower, adapted by Teava, art by Yeoseulki, translated by WEBTOON

My Gently Raised Beast is a fantasy romance manhwa series. I bought my copy of this volume new.

Review:

The characters are aged up near the start of this volume - according to the profiles in the previous volume, Amon is now about 18 and Briddy is about 20. Briddy has gradually gained more of her father's favor, much to his wife and Adellai's displeasure. Lart, meanwhile, feels like he's losing out on the royal heir front. He's trying to gain control over his temper, both to do better as his father's son and because he's developed a crush on Lucy, Briddy's lady-in-waiting.

Meanwhile, Briddy thinks Amon has a crush on Lucy, and she's upset about it but blind enough to her own feelings that she's unsure why. 

Okay, I'm getting more into this series now.

Adellai is still a schemer who sucks, but I'm guessing Lart will redeem himself at some point and marry Lucy. 

Now we've got a bit of jealousy on Briddy's side, but because she's the shining heroine, she isn't horrible towards Lucy because of it. And what can I say, I kind of enjoy the "Idiots in Love" trope. While it remains to be seen whether Amon will become annoyingly jealous and overbearing later on in the series, for now I like that he wants to support Briddy and help her overcome the lingering fears she still has due to the abuse she suffered in the past.
