We understand her trauma, willingness to move on and grow as a person, and wanting to inherit her family title. It is an emotional and creative high point, one that the rest of the story completely goes on to shit upon.Since the manhwa centers itself around Tia, we concentrate on her circumstances and her experiences. Vita accepts it all, because it's one of two times they've acted responsibly towards the lives of our three primary characters, and declares Tia to be a child who forges their path, bequeaths the name 'pioneer'. In both despair and righteous anger, Tia calls their God cruel and professes to renounce her faith, promises to reject and discard Vita the same way she was discarded by them.
Tia learns that the only reason she loved Ruve despite all his neglect and cruelty was because of her string of fate, and the way it accidentally got entangled with his (more on this later).
We learn of all her grief and wish better for her.My favorite moment from this manhwa comes soon after when Tia visits the temple in chapter 9 and confront Vita. We learn she's been brought up with a strict education to become an empress, been married to and hated by the person she loved, relegated to a secondary position after the child foretold by the oracle fell into their world, neglected, abused, assaulted (more on this later), become pregnant, lost her child, heard of the demise of her father and then executed. Humans, unknowing of their God's folly, thus sought for a girl of suitable position and age and decided that she was the prophecized child, and so began the miserable tale of Tia's first life.What happened next can be relearned through the first six chapters of this manhwa, and is painful to read and garners the utmost sympathy for Tia. Vita let their blessed child fall through the dimensions into another world. The prophecy was the accepted truth, for everything divine is correct, and the will of the creator is above all. Four years after Ruve's birth Vita first created Jieun, her blessed child, and through an Oracle made her out to be Ruve's perfect partner. This is because although it initially sets itself up to be a coming of age/into oneself story, TAE eventually plays into its wish to be a character-driven romance.A creator is as a creator does. My review is centered around the three 'primary' characters of this story, Aristia (tia), Ruvellis (Ruve), and Jieun. Perhaps that colored my affection for him.We're all familiar with the general complaints most people have with this manhwa (bad pacing, poorly written cookie-cutter side characters, unresolved plotlines, etc) so I will skip over them. It's a shame I could never come to truly care for Carsein, he would've been a healthier fit, but I knew that his affections were doomed already. Once you've read enough, tropes, even the ones that bear red flags, become increasingly apparent. The moment Allen was revealed to be an obsessive maniac, I could see where the narrative would lead, and to whom exactly. Spoiler warnings hereon.Before we begin, let me clarify that I had no horse in this race. Since today is a day I feel reasonably present and focused, allow me to explain what I mean by that statement. Because this truly is a narrative that came about as the result of derelict creation. Now, thinking of it makes me sigh on the best of days, and wish it were a piñata I could beat to breaking point on worse ones.My brain can hardly function well enough on a regular day to properly word what reading this was like I instead use that time to consume more fulfilling media that doesn't make me feel ill will towards their irresponsible creators. Instantly I was attracted to its potential. It's been a near year since I first read 'The Abandoned Empress'.
