At first I thought Your Throne was going to follow the same plot as so many other transmigration webtoons and graphic novels that I've seen, but immediately it pulled my interest by setting itself apart from the others. Medea is truly an Anti-hero, cruel and vicious, she's willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants, no matter the morality of the action. In fact, in the beginning I truly thought she was going to be the villain, but later some of her actions were shown in a different light. I also felt at first that Psyche was going to be her narrative foil, but once the body swapping (plural) started happening, all of my assumptions flew out the window. I will say that this unexpected plot is what drew me in the most. I feel like I'm still getting to know the characters, and I hope to continue getting to know the characters in the sequel.

This so far seems like a good story. The art is beautiful. I am excited to continue this series! The characters seem interesting and I can't wait to see what way this story goes.

The style of art is very pretty but I wasn’t sold on the plot. I couldn’t get invested in the FMCs. Actually I couldn’t tell if there were one or two main female characters. It still would be interesting to see where the rest of this series goes.

Revenge and evil-queen-vibes sink into an unexpected game, where everyone plays their own strategy while unknowingly taking the role of someone else's pawn.

Medea should have been queen but lost her place when the prince chose the other girl instead. Now, she's out for revenge, but before she can take it, the craziest thing happens, and she wakes up to find herself in her rival's body. While she quickly regains her footing and has all intentions to continue with her initial goal, her new and different perspective of the situation reveals a much more complicated scheme. What started as a simple plan to destroy one person has warped into a battle to save the entire kingdom.

I went into this hoping for a darker, cliche story, which would offer a bit of fun...my expectations weren't high. But this gives quite a bit more and promises to lead into an exciting series of intrigue and many hidden agendas. The beginning shows Medea in a terrible light as a vengeful young woman, who embodies the villain. It made her very hard to like or connect with, especially when juxtaposed with the angelic rival. During the first pages, I did wonder if I'd made a bad grab. Also, not much time is spent sinking into the situation or world, leaving a bit of confusion especially since Medea's hate seems very unfounded. But this ill-balanced beginning does end up setting off the tale better than first appears.

While this starts with an overly cliche atmosphere, the twists and turns flip everything on its head to create an original and grabbing read. There is a lot of room for character growth, and even in this first volume, that arc comes across well. To say that there's quite a bit going on is an understatement, and that guarantees quick pacing throughout. With all of the webbed intentions, this could quickly grow confusing but flashbacks root the background and keep things from flying out of control. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of such back-and-forth, but it works well because the reader gets hit with a truckload of information in this first volume. While it seems to border on confusing at times, it manages not to go too far, but instead, sets the base for so much more to come during the upcoming volumes.

The art style fits the story. The color tones match the atmosphere and subtly portray each 'queen' in a way, which supports how the reader is supposed to see them at that moment. The visual changes match the plot and balance well with the text.

I am looking forward to the next volume, especially since this beginning has laid such an intricate base. There are more than a few questions as to the intent and goals of several characters, and it will be exciting to see where this all might lead.

Your Throne is cutthroat. It dives deep into the worlds of politics and power while examining Medea and Psyche and how they are connected.

The art style is beautiful and the colouring is captivating. There is a lot of growth and transformation between the two leading ladies while they navigate a freaky Friday-type situation except the stakes are much higher. The relationships are intriguing not just between Medea and Psyche but also between them and Eros as well as Helio.

The story has a lot of potential to get messy (in a good way) and creates a lot of anticipation for what will happen next! your Throne is a real page-turner!

Though I really enjoyed the art style I found the story to be rather confusing the vast majority of the time. I'm a little confused about Psyche's backstory. Medea's was a little easier to follow. The body switch-a-roo is so over done and I don't really think this was deployed in a creative way.

This was such a fun read! Thank you so much wattpadd books!

The fmc in the book my favorite part. She was strong and a tad unhinged. It made reading delightful.

The only thing I didn’t love was the fact the book had the switching bodies trope. I still liked it but I didn’t love it.

I will be continuing this series!

I am a longtime reader of Your Throne on the LINE app, so it was invigorating and refreshing to go back to the beginning. Our queen Medea is of course amazing right from the get-go, but don't write off anyone else in the main cast either because this character-driven story of political intrigue and body switching will have you constantly guessing at everyone's motives, past, and schemes. But this is another story in that category of "main characters who refuse to deal with anymore bs and have the wits and ruthlessness to take what they rightfully deserve"

Thank you Netgalley for sending me a review copy.

Overall I would say this is an interesting start to a webtoon. I've read tons of Webtoons and this one is different and unique. My main issue is not liking any of the main characters, but this is a strong start to a story that could have some good character development.

Possible Triggers:
Death | Mild Gore | Physical Abuse

Final Thoughts:
What a beautifully illustrated comic!!! I was pleasantly surprised to realize that the story was not how I expected it to go at all. I was thinking of dainty princesses and romance and instead I got political intrigue, (one-sided?) rivalry, and darker themes. Kinda called to mind Tricia Levenseller’s “The Shadows Between Us”. This volume ended on a cliffhanger that has me very keen to read the next volume of the series. A++ for a strong, determined, VENGEFUL main character.

This is volume one of the series and it absolutely love this one. Right from the chapter one it kept me hooked till the end of the book. The plotline and illustrations are so beautiful that it had my attention for the full time.
The plot was well paced. I absolutely love it. I am looking forward to the next upcoming volumes in this series.

Your Throne is an incredible WEBTOON. I followed it from its conception and immediately fell in love with the mythic Medea turned power hungry protagonist. Her arc throughout the entire series is one of the best, as she learns there is more to life than her family’s approval and esteem. She and Pysche are an amazing duo, the characters in this text are complex, believable, deep, emotional, and sympathetic. There is so much action and drama and humor and growth. One of the best graphic novels I’ve read.

Your Throne follows Medea and Psyche after they switch bodies and have to learn how to live in the others shoes.

I can’t start this review without talking about Medea!!! She is so cool. I love her already. She is strong, beautiful, manipulative, and a little unhinged. Honestly, the darkness her character has is part of why I really like her. It’s refreshing to read about a “villainess” character that actually does bad things. Her character is so interesting. She is extremely jealous of Psyche due to the Crown Prince, Eros, supposedly being “in love” with Psyche. It seems much darker than that though.

Psyche is basically the complete opposite of Medea. While also beautiful, she is weak, gentle, and kind. This first volume hasn’t shown a ton of her backstory, however some of the hints we have gotten have seemed a little scary. Psyche is interesting as well, but I don’t think I’ve seen enough of her in this first volume to really have a good grasp of her. She does seem to really care for Medea though which is intriguing.

Psyche and Medea’s relationship is interesting. There were hints at a previous friendship between the two, which could explain Medea’s hatred of Psyche because of her “betrayal.”

I don’t really love the whole “switching bodies” trope, but it does make for an interesting storyline and I do think that it will be really interesting for Medea to learn what Psyche actually goes through. The first half of the book didn’t really grab my attention, but by the end I was hooked. I’m so curious to see where this story will go. I’m hoping for Medea and Psyche to come together, but we will see.

Overall, the story is pretty dark. There is a lot of manipulation and some physical violence, however it fits the theme so well. There are also the obvious references to Greek mythology which is very interesting. Admittedly, I don’t know a ton about the original stories, but that doesn’t seem to matter so far.

Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this early!

I liked this web novel when it was on Webtoons and I like it even more now that I see it is being published.

Wow, this books has a lot of twist and turns! Medea is truly an interesting and capable heroine to follow. I can't wait to read the next volumes.

The art, character, storyline, vibes, and so much more was IMMACULATE. The premise was great and really drew me in, and I’m excited to continue with the story.

Thanks to Webtoon for giving me an ARC of this webcomic for an honest review!

"Your Throne" caught my eye when it first hit Webtoon, but I didn't jump on board until now.
Medea and Psyche shine in their own arcs, steering clear of the tired rivalry trope. It's a welcome change of pace that sets it apart.
I am curious though, will Eros be a villain? Because I will be so disappointed if he ended up redeemed as any other love interests.
On the upside, the classic shoujo art style hits all the right notes, adding a nice nostalgic touch. However, the story gets bogged down by too many info dumps scattered throughout, disrupting the flow and hindering the world-building. Overall, it's a decent read, but those pacing issues hold it back. Three out of five stars from me.

If you’ve read one (or twenty) villainess-style web comics or light novels, Your Throne starts with a situation that’s all too familiar: the villainess—our protagonist—has had her engagement with the prince broken so the prince can be with the heroine instead.

This is the point where, in a villainess isekai, the protagonist will most likely run off to avoid her certain doom, possibly by going into the forest to woo a demon lord or getting picked up by the prince’s oddball sister. If it’s a villainess time loop story, she might instead escape the palace and find the nearest carriage to drive her off into her glorious future as a merchant.

But Your Throne isn’t one of those stories. And when Crown Prince Eros wrongs Lady Medea, she’s fully prepared to scheme her way back into the palace to knock Lady Psyche out of the place Medea fully intends to occupy.

Like many readers driving the light novel and manhwa markets to new heights in the US, I’m quite familiar with villainess stories. I read a lot of them in manga, light novel, and web comic or manhwa format. And I’ve seen almost every villainess-themed anime that’s aired. But Your Throne is one of the best villainess dramas I’ve come across, even after reading more iterations of the Villainess’s Broken Engagement Encounter™ than I care to recall.

During the early stages of Medea’s revenge plot, something goes awry—or maybe precisely as the divine powers intend: she swaps bodies fully unintentionally with Psyche, the low-ranking noble woman who Eros rejected her to marry. Medea is the daughter of a duke—making her one step down from a princess already—with a haughty and arrogant demeanor backed up by her incredible intelligence, physical strength, and manipulative talents. Psyche, on the other hand, is praised for being sweet, meek, and obedient.

A great appeal of the villainess storytelling subgenre of light novels and manhwa is the fact that many villainess stories address the misogyny of otome games and shojo stories in Japanese and Korean media, like the “appealing traits” of a female lead including being weak and inciting a “need to protect” in the men around her. This is one area where the first volume of Your Throne shines, and it’s also the area where the manhwa starts to overlap in content and theme with something very unexpected.

Readers familiar with the story of Medea (the Greek one) will probably notice quite a few similarities in the story of Medea (the Korean one). The most well-known version is the one presented in the Euripides play Medea, in which the titular character seeks and achieves vengeance against her husband, who is abandoning her in favor of another woman. Your Throne thus far shares quite a few elements with the Euripides play—the protagonist’s name, her alliance with a character named Helio (after Helios, the Greek sun god), and a narrative implying that Medea’s actions are justified by the betrayals of the man who wronged her.

Every time I pick up a villainess story, one of the highlights for me as a reader is to discover how the author decides to treat the heroine in the narrative. Without providing any more spoilers than I already have, I’ll say that how SAM handles Psyche was a pleasant surprise, especially considering the story’s dark and twisting tone.

Like most manhwa, Your Throne is a full-color comic, and it’s absolutely beautiful to look at. The style leans away from the cute shojo style common to romantic comedies and more lighthearted manga and manhwa, and it’s clear from the style that the story is more serious and lacks comic relief. That said, it’s still drawn in a very typical romance manhwa style, and readers looking for something more unusual or more complex may be disappointed.

While the dramatic tone may be different from some of the most popular villainess stories readers may encounter, Your Throne is an intense and morally complex story featuring fantastic art and plenty to keep you hungry for volume two. Recommended for older YA and adult audiences.

I have been reading SAM's original works for a little over a year now and I'm so exited to finally see these webtoons come to actual physical books. As per usual, Your throne is an amazing book with amazing characters, all of them have such different characteristics, both physically and in the way the act making them easy to recognize and impossible not to love.

Your Throne is a romance and fantasy web comic in which our protagonist, Lady Medea Solos, sees how her future, her dreams, and plans are taken away from her overnight and handed over to Psyche, who becomes the new prince's fiancée and future princess

This is the first volume, and it goes from chapter 1 to 12, which may seem like very few chapters, but let me tell you that the amount of things that happen in those twelve chapters is enough to write a book on its own.

There is plot twist, drama, unexpected discoveries, an attempted murder, gossip, characters change bodies, betrayal, those who thought they were the good guys turn out to be the bad guys in the story, manipulation, lies… everything!

And the best part is that, although the first volume only has twelve chapters, the comic is available on webtoon until chapter 198.

The art and drawing are exceptional, the plot is very well constructed as are the characters.

I totally recommend this comic.
