WARNING! DO NOT READ THIS ABSLOUTE SHIT STORM!
“They Say I Was Born a King's Daughter” is every awful Otome Isekai/Romance trope put together into an absolutely unreadable and generally awful story. It's a typical "girl gets reincarnated into a medieval kingdom as a relative of a noble" but this time she is the daughter of the king (who would've thought).
In this society women are treated like scum, they are abused, enslaved and in general just have no power in society. This is due to the fact that only men can use magic, this makes them suppress all women… until the FL comes along
...
who has magic and is treated far better than her magic-less counterparts.
The problem isn’t the whole “society hates women” thing in this manhwa, there are many with similar premises, the problem is that the FL just doesn’t really give a fuck and does nothing of note to change it despite being in a position of power.
So let’s actually get into the FL and the plot now. This modern girl from Korea becomes this tyrannical king's daughter and just vibes with it. Her brothers abuse all women... but her so it's fine. The king completely dotes on her and treats her like one of his sons instead of being locked up all day like his daughters (of which he has many) but since those other daughters are kinda mean it's fine. There is a part where she goes to a women slave camp, the women there are forced to do field work (among other things) all day and are beaten for resting. She comes in and gives all of them a bit of food and tells the labor people that the woman should get a small break every day. And then all the slaves love her because they get a tiny break! Hurray! How wonderful! Let's never bring up slavery again since giving a specific field break time and food one time is enough to deal with it!
The FL has some love interests too, all of which enjoy abusing her in one way or another. The one that really stands out to me is this guy who looks like her boyfriend from Korea (for context in this arc she is going to a noble school). She tries to approach him to see if it her boyfriend or just some guy from this world. He has some kind of emotional response to her or something and then tries to fucking choke her to death! Later they meet on top of the roof of the school, and he once again tries to choke her and throw her off the building! One of the other abusive love interests flies up to the roof (forgot to mention that there is magic in this story) and gives the guy a talking to. THIS FUCKWAD IS STILL TREATED AS ONE OF THE MAIN LOVE INTERESTS! IT'S FUCKING TERRIBLE!
EVERYTIME, YOU THINK THEY ARE GOING TO PROGRESS THE STORY OR ACTUALLY SOLVE AN ISSUE WITH THE WORLD (the whole abusive women hating slave loving society thing) THEY JUST SIDELINE IT BECAUSE AT LEAST EVERYONE TREATS THE FL NICELY! PEOPLE ARE TREATING HER GOOD BECAUSE THE KING TREATS HER GOOD. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SHE DOES SHE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE "KINGS DAUGHTER" AND INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CHANGE THAT SHE JUST ACCEPTS IT AND ASKS "DADDY" FOR FAVORS ALL THE TIME. GARBAGE CAN'T EVEN BEGIN GO DESCRIBE THIS MANHWA.
