However, societal norms dictated that women must prove their worth through noble accomplishments, and earning a title proved to be an elusive challenge for Eva.
Under mounting pressure from her peers, Eva's father succumbs to the influence of other nobles, compelling him to arrange a marriage for his daughter with a complete stranger. As Eva resigns herself to this unfamiliar existence as someone else's wife, a chilling tragedy strikes. Her fiancé, driven by dark motives, mercilessly slaughters Eva's parents, leaving her with a haunting choice.

Follow Eva as she sets forth on a path strewn with challenges, betrayal, and the pursuit of justice. Witness her transformation from a pawn trapped in an unjust system to a formidable force, driven by an unwavering determination to avenge her family's demise and restore honor to their name. Prepare for a gripping tale of sacrifice, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of a noblewoman scorned.

Write a reviewFirst off, I just really love the expression of each of Lucas's and Eva's inner monologues. Seeing them pining for each other creates such an amazing effect for the slow burn aspect of their romance her dealing with the trauma of her "falling quickly" and having that keeping her from going further with Lucas is just excellently done On top of that, I find the magic system to be enjoyable and have an air of mystery to it. it does really well of being this almost "all-powerful force," but you don't use it as a crutch to solve every problem. The characters don't rely on this crutch because they, themselves, do not understand that The world building is excellent and the pacing is sublime. I appreciate how even during "downtime" there is still something there to capture the interest of the reader. (typically this was achieved through the inner monologues from earlier) Even though they arent communicating with each other on everything they let just enough show that it doesnt frustrate me as a reader and finding that balance between realistic secrecy and secrecy for the sake of plot is hard to get. A lot of animes and LN have people give stupid reasons for not speaking their minds, but in NBR it their reasons are genuine and understood because we as the readers have seen the events that made them want to act this way
I love this story. It's a fantasy romance story with some funny and adorable moments. Elf also likes to toy with our emotions sometimes. 10/10 would recommend.
good stuff, reminds me of other stuff that I read. fox jokes- 1-Why were the foxes hunting rabbits? Because they were in the mood for fast food! 2-Why was the artist taking a long time drawing a fox? Because he paid too much attention to de-tail.
Yo! The cultured beggar is here to give appraisal~ Of course, this is only after reading the first 8 chapters(currently available chaps). Writing Quality: Superb! Aside from little to no errors, everything was good – from its flow to grammars. Particularly chapter 5? or 6? I appreciate the use of the almost perfect Motivation Reaction Units. Story Development: Intriguing! It leaves you interested on what will happen next. As long as you read the first 3 chapters, it's easy to get engrossed in reading the succeeding chapters. Character Design: Multidimensional, I must say. The dilemma, the conflict, the emotional disarray, everything was weaved at 88% to my liking! Particularly, the FL, she's like a real person; which I appreciate the most. Updating Stability: No worries! I'm a cultured beggar. I live through begging... more chapies. If the author doesn't update, I'll use my secret technique on her! World Background: Interesting! Although not the author's focus; and he/she just described it vivid enough, it was still enough to let me enter the book's world. If the author can add 10% details, the work will certainly be upgraded by a tier! Overall: This beggar has changed and was now stingy at his praises. I created a 'to read or not scale', 1 being don't read, and 10 being the most recommended. According to my overall judgement, this book scored 8/10. 8 = Great potential, and worth reading! Sincerely, Cultured Beggar
I can’t to read more. What does he have in store for her? Please keep updating more. I am also curious about the magic you mentioned she was learning. Keep up the good work!
A Noble Daughter's Reprisal is an engaging fantasy romance with slow-burn romance, a unique magic system, and rich world-building. The novel focuses on the complex relationship between Eva, a human, and Lucas, an elf. Where Eva must work through her past and Lucas has to find a way for them to stay together. The magic in this story is intriguing and not overused. The world is well-developed, and the pacing keeps readers interested, even during the quieter parts, which are adorable! I originally started reading this after a recommendation from my wife. Looking forward to more chapters.
This novel is definitely worth the time! The characters are well thought out, the world is depicted beautifully. The romance is stunning (almost blindingly sweet). Be sure to give it a try. You won't have any regrets!
"A Noble Daughter's Reprisal" is a captivating webnovel that skillfully blends romance and fantasy through the intricate relationship between its human and elf protagonists. The novel excels in multiple areas, from its slow-burn romance to its imaginative magic system and immersive world-building. At the heart of this story is the delicate and intense romance between the human, Eva, and the elf, Lucas. The novel shines in its portrayal of their inner monologues, creating a palpable sense of yearning and emotional depth. Eva’s struggle with her past—particularly her fear of falling too quickly and her reluctance to fully embrace her feelings for Lucas—is portrayed with exceptional sensitivity. This adds a rich layer of complexity to their relationship, making the slow-burn aspect both engaging and heart-wrenching. The magic system in "A Noble Daughter's Reprisal" is another standout feature. It is imbued with a sense of mystery and grandeur.. Yet, the magic is never used as a crutch to solve every conflict. Instead, it remains enigmatic and largely beyond the characters' full understanding. This approach enhances the narrative, emphasizing the characters' personal growth and resourcefulness rather than relying on magical solutions. World-building in this novel is masterfully executed. The pacing is sublime, keeping readers enthralled even during quieter moments. This is largely achieved through the well-crafted inner monologues, which offer continual insight into the characters' thoughts and emotions. The balance between realistic secrecy and plot-driven secrecy is handled with finesse. Unlike many stories that rely on contrived reasons for characters' lack of communication, "A Noble Daughter's Reprisal" provides genuine motivations behind the characters' actions. Readers can easily understand and empathize with these motivations, which adds to the overall authenticity of the narrative. In summary, "A Noble Daughter's Reprisal" is a must-read for fans of fantasy romance. It masterfully combines a slow-burn romance with a richly developed magic system and immersive world-building. The novel's nuanced portrayal of its characters’ inner lives and its balance between secrecy and plot make it a standout in the genre.
slow burn but man it cooks as it goes keep it up! cant wait for more chapters to come up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've only read 5 chapters and I'm already so hooked! I love the fact that you use very little filling words and sentences and the story jumpstarts right from the first scene. I have mixed feelings about the first chapter however, I think you might need to look back at it and do a re-write because it feels very different from the general quality of the rest of your chapters. I also think you should describe what Eva feels for Hans at first sight more subtly. It feels a bit too much to say "her knees felt weak" when it was only their first meeting and they didn't even interact at all. The plot seems very interesting so far and I love the development of the storyline and how there are already plot-twists right from the start! I must also mention that I love how the MC expresses herself so well in every situation, and how you even add her internal dialogues, although some actions seem too much and some descriptions could be expressed softer. The only reason I'm not giving you a 5 star is because of the little grammatical errors here and there but that's nothing to worry about. You can always re-read and edit when you have time. Asides that, I love this story so far and I can't wait to continue reading and follow Eva's journey!

One of the best novels I have read to date. Looking forward to seeing how much more the characters will grow as the elf and the human he's adopted continue their adventures towards revenge and love.
