Last sneak preview before I enter my cave till the next episode updates.

Someone commented on Webtoon (latest ep) that women shouldn't need to be saved all the time. Undeniably, there's an element of 'damsel-in-distress' in AB, but I think Fourth Princess is a strong enough character to hold her own. Also, I'd like to think of it as "working together with Ulaan to overcome obstacles", instead of "being saved by Ulaan". 

An example is when I used "help me Ulaan" instead of "save me Ulaan" in the dog attack scene. Because to me, there's a big difference between asking for help and asking to be saved.

Then again, I might just be so sick of always having to save my damsel-in-distress husband that I want to indulge in a good ol' princess-rescue fantasy LOL.

Sometimes I'm also a "damsel-in-distress husband" :) thank you so much for taking care of us :))

Wow I love how much of a strong woman she is, but sometimes a woman needs to feel like a damsel in distress to get the attention of a sexy man 😍 though would be good if it was switched her saving him. Love the beautifully drawn artwork that guy knows not to touch Ulann woman thank you lily don't work to hard sweetie 😊👼💞💖💝💗💞x

I think the fantasy/sci-fi/fiction genres are oversaturated with both extremes. With that in mind, I think you did find a happy medium. And it's just not realistic for the female to be strong all the time. Men are just naturally stronger, but women can be potentially faster, plus they have a higher pain threshold. And we will fight a bit differently simply because gravity and balance is different between the sexes. For men it's higher; women hold it in our hips and lower. That's why the most common female sports injury is the ACL in a knees. And that's your lesson for today! 😉😆

I agree with the above comments about the "damsel in distress" comments. Considering the princess's royal upbringing, she's a pretty strong character and definitely not a hoity toity royal. You showed so much of her character in the limited amount of episodes you had, like her kindness and bravery (even if some of it is bravado, haha). Besides, I have a feeling that eventually the princess will be in some situations where SHE will be saving Ulaan. XD Side note: Ulaan inherited his dad's good looks in the family, lol.

I think you are doing a great job. Personally i dont like when authors make female characters be totally hopeless without her male counterpart, like make them seem Incompetent but our princess here is def not. I see them working together and i know she is a bad ass she just has nor shown it yet. I know at some point she will save him or something of the sort. And also i don’t think our warrior views her as anything less of him or an object. Or maybe she will prove to him that she is stronger than she looks. So im excited

Side note i love her. And i know she is gonna have some character development. Yall physical strength is not all. Homegirl is not sitting in a corner crying all damn day. She took that bow and arrow and said literally “fu*k it ill do it myself” when our warrior did not wake up. Like she did not run away from that. Major respect I would have been like yooooooooo peace im out and climb a tree. I ain’t fighting with no demon dog tf i look like.

I just wanna say, it’s ok for being a damsel in distress after all not all of women are bad asses or a super hero ready to kick ass call me old fashioned but I miss these kinda stories where there is a variation in women personalities and people accepting them, now if the woman is not an ass kicker people complain or if we get an alpha male people will complain they want the same character standard in all of the stories then where is the variation and people in reality are not like that you get the mean the honest the jerk etc they can’t all be nice it just irritates me people wanna control everything and change everything to their standards , non the less obviously the princess is not weak and you can tell but she’s inexperienced because obviously she didn’t encounter anything like this before people are just annoying ignore them ily lily ur stories and art make me so happy and gives me hope

Our 4th princess has a strong character so you don't have to worry about inappropriate comments. When you read webtoons, mangas, novel, you like to dream sometimes. And personnaly I like to dream sometimes about a "beautiful and hot man" saving and falling for a cute and clever woman. That's not giving a bad image of women to tell those kind of stories. I love reading your work so go on. It is simply beautiful.

honestly the 4th princess has completely stolen my heart away. A woman does not have to be a bad-ass kicker in order to be strong. I think her stubborn resolve and girliness really won me over. She is definitely strong and I'm loving the development she is getting! btw... can I just ask who the heck wouldn't want to be a damsel-in-distress for Ulaan? He can save my weakass anytime

I didn't expect my post to spark a terrific discussion but I'm so glad it did! I had a great time reading your comments, but more importantly, can I just say that I am hugely proud and honoured to have such mature, intelligent and kind readers like all of you ladies (and/or gents 😉). It is truly, truly my honour to have found myself amongst this tribe that we have!! Thank you all for being here 😭😭😭❤️❤️ About the comment I received, it doesn't upset or bother me so don't worry 😉 I was just a little concerned that I might have been 'belittling women' unknowingly because that's the absolute last thing I want to do. If anything, I want to be respectful to all the characters in my stories as much as I can (even if not every character deserves to be respected all the time LOL). In any case, reading all your comments, the support and love y'all have expressed for Fourth Princess, puts me completely at ease. Obviously not everyone will see eye to eye with me. But just knowing that I have found my tribe of people over here is good enough for me ❤️ This has been such a wonderful, uplifting sight to wake up to. Thank you all for making my day! 😘😘
