girls of the wild is an old manhwa series or where the webtoon is a new beginning. but if it is actually similar to remarried empress. this manhwa is where navier herself is actually well written or made complex character development. I don't like navier x rashta, because it's like a monarchy relationship where the dynamic position is unequal. but if you choose navier x male rashta. this manhwa really explores that relationship well compared to the original navier x male rashta. or. heinrey Alles Lazlo. there is no chemistry in that relationship, it feels boring and very forced.heinrey tends or manchild and also immature.
Why do I say Heinrey is the male image of Rashta? All readers already know their similarities and characteristics. Moreover, Navier in the novel always says how similar Heinrey is to Rashta (actually, she herself is a little attracted to Rashta even though she herself is embarrassed to admit it)
let's see the parallel where the relationship is better navier x male rashta. and development well. The Fl in this manhwa is named Ingui Yoon and the ML of this manhwa is Jaegu Song.
Ingui Yoon is the heiress to a well-known and large company in Korea, or the YK Group. In flashbacks, she herself was often forced to learn everything during her childhood, including martial arts and all the difficult special lessons, and was forced to be a boy. Until the disguise stopped because she had a newborn baby brother. This has made her a little less empathetic towards those around her and less emotional.
Here we see a flashback to Ingui Yoon's childhood as the heir to a company, where she consequently lacks emotional and empathetic control. This is exactly the parallel to why Navier herself is like that.
Even though it's not as bad and bitter as Rashta's past, the pressure of the heir's harsh upbringing has made her a boring personality.
and ML in this manhwa or girls of the wild named jaegu song. jaegu is different from the background with FL. very far apart like heaven and earth. this is similar to and parallel with rashta. when jaegu was little his mother raised him in poverty while supporting his two younger siblings who were still very young. he himself did not know his father because his father had died a long time ago. this is parallel with rashta or headcanon before rashta was sold into slavery, living in poverty with his father. even she herself has no memory of her mother
before the bitter reality where his own mother cruelly left him when he was still small with his two younger siblings in a state of poverty. that's where jaegu hates women, thinking that all women are monsters
This also parallels Rashta, where she herself was sold into slavery by her own father in order to pay off his debt. In her father's tragedy, Rashta was "corrupted by all adult males" for the rest of her life.
we get into the core relationship. both navier rashta and jaegu ke ingui's encounters are equally not good. where socially inferior people dare to accidentally dirty their clothes
and navier and ingui's reaction was also the same. considering them lowly and ignorant of the rules of their position.
"Are all poor people like you?"
"oh you are a slave?"
Unlike Remarried Empress, Navier's development is 0 and she maintains her classic side and views according to her surroundings and from childhood, although Rashta's presence actually has the potential to bring out her development and change her erroneous views, caused by the influence of her surroundings. Girl of the Wild is much deeper and more complex. Ingui Yoon, similar to Navier, is classist and has little emotionality. She slowly develops thanks to her friends who don't fawn over her, or like such as those around Navier or her ladies-in-waiting. Those around Ingui Yoon, who are far from her status, are able to broaden her perspective. For example, her friend tells her how painful Jaegu Song's life is and gives her a clear understanding of it. This is different from when Navier learns of Rashta's dark past, but those around her try to "turn off her emotions or empaty."
Slowly, besides Jaegu, Ingui Yoon shows empathy towards those around her, including her own love rival! who has a different social status from her, and dares to compete with her, A rare thing for her, who has a classicist and minimal emotional outlook.
Jaegu Song and Ingui Yoon's relationship, which resembled a cold war, or a superior-subordinate relationship, slowly shows signs of improvement. Jaegu gradually feels comfortable with her and gradually understands everything about her. He also changes to not judge all rich people, as he had previously thought they were arrogant. Ingui herself also learns from those around her and from himself, understanding the difficulty of social status differences, as if there were a wall separating her from the world. It's as if she's finally awakening and finding her true self. The development of the FL and ML, although peppered with fighting scenes, is very cool, unlike current manhwa, where FL and ML development is solely influenced by the two parties without any support from those around them. Furthermore, all the characters in the Girl of the Wild manhwa have their own story developments. There's no "bland" narrative or one that centers solely on the main character.
And what's cool here is that it's also explained that even though they have power, it's not like other manhwa where they recklessly use their power for the sake of the main character or for emotional reasons. It's explained here that having more wealth and power isn't as easy as people think, and one has to think carefully before proceeding with a mature decision.
This scene shows incredible development, where FL seeks guidance from ML himself, whom she once looked down on and despised. Their relationship is heading in a better, healthier, and freer direction.
In short, if Navier's writing is developed well like this old manhwa, the webtoon Remaried Empress will be much better and will not have a "toxic" message, and Navier's dynamic is very suitable only for Rashta. There is no difference in social status dynamics and injustice. Both Navier and Rashta have their own development and slowly together, understanding each other's hearts. This is much better than NavierXheinrey self.
just a boring development, and heinrey is more like navier's "subordinate" and considers her "property" rather than a human being self.
I wish royal manhwa were like the old ones. Not just Remarried Empress, but many royal manhwas focus on the main character without showing the full depth of their characters and their stories. Furthermore, the female protagonists also lack development and feel like they're being "forced" by the narrative to submit to the female protagonist.
