Summary
Read manhwa The Collector’s Cage / 수집가의 새장 / The Collector’s Birdcage
I only went out for nothing more than a routine collection, and a mage’s mistake turned me into something no bigger than the palm of a hand!
Instead of offering a way to reverse the spell, the mage makes an outrageous suggestion, “Why don’t we sell you to Froix, the kingdom’s greatest collector, pretending you’re a fairy?”
And just like that, I was forced into an unwanted ‘fairy life’. But the infamous collector… why is he so handsome?
A nerve-racking cohabitation where Hermy’s identity could be exposed at any moment, his gaze warm, yet undeniably dangerous.
Can she survive in a body this small? Or will she, before she realizes it, become become Froix’s most treasured possession?

well i mean its very mid
the ML is highkey a weirdo, id say its slightly bordering on fetish content (i say slightly because the smut itself is vanilla and boring nothing to be stressed about, im not really fascinated by smut anyway so i skipped over it)
FL barely wears clothes which is weird, the plot is boring, the art is nice. i’d probably give it a 5.5/10 i don’t think i’ll continue with the story. it’s just ur typical story i don’t think the author knows how to experiment

This got weird. Fast. Fetish content and needs to be marked as MATURE!
AngryTurtle
Unless you’re into fetish content, don’t read this. Additionally, if it was called the collector’s jar, I don’t think the plot would change much. Do with this what you will

It’s funny how I’ve seen more comments about lighting-kun defending themself than their actual comments on a manwha. Feel free to comment whatever. When you start defending yourself in the comments it just floods it. From the way that you consistently do it, it seems lighting kun just wants attention.

This story honestly scared me a little because reading this made me realize how fucked up it is psychologically. Clearly we can see the power hierarchy between ml and fl. The fl was helpless and had to return to that lifestyle. Honestly i dont know what to say whoever likes this…maybe its their fetish I’m no one to judge but the art is beautiful and the character designs are pretty too.

To people who are still irked at me or want to come at me… You can do anything like that since that’s your free will, but I have mine too…Important notes… though common, but common sense is not so common so I’m putting it here once again.. so it goes past your thick brain : D
🐬 Your reaction is your responsibility, and no one else’s.. if you start to blame anyone or everyone for ruining your mood, please stop using the net…
🐬 Feel free to criticize my review, okay.. There is a difference between criticizing a person and their review you are yet to learn that.
🐬 If authors publish their work, it’s bound to get all sorts of comments, so for those who are snowflakes, scroll through my comment, you won’t be able to take it.
🐬 Don’t fume over me for it is futile, I’m a thick-skinned person..
🐬 The comment section does not have a rule book, and you have no right to decide what tone will be there in a review or what kind of reviews are allowed, there is a thing called free speech and you have no right to kill it.
🐬 Learn to mind your own business -> the most important one.

@Louelle : D I’m a chill person
🐬it’s just as u can see there r ppl who can’t handle -ve comments, you see….
🐬their mood gets ruined, and they blame it on me as if their reaction is my responsibility…and other sob stuff
🐬So I had to put that in a note in advance, though it doesn’t work as you can see…
🐬Funny part is some of these readers r into non-con type stories too… so obvious my comment will be unpleasant I’m the incel the misogynistic here
🐬But oh the authors and these manhwas are filled with feminism where we frequently witness ML getting in all manchild mode on on FLs, FLs getting confined, ignored, disrespected and also the favourite thing of dumbing down IQ of woman, or transferring them into body of child where they take revenge on other children and what not.. u won’t see these so concerned ppl voicing on those stories.. u can say ppl here have some history with me r tired of me so don’t mind… this mess
AustralianAndyz
i’m not even replying to you lmao angry much? intelligent beings my ass she was not a fairy before this whole plot turned her into one and most fairies are not ur usual sweet and fluffy sprites and i’m not talking abt irl lore i’m talking abt mythologies are u reversed cuz these manhwa use all the same concepts from these same mythologies you are a real cornball smh🥀
Louelle
its okayy people dont voice these shitty things out just because the ml is good looking so I’m glad you do keep it up I really enjoy reading your comments and views! <3 I use other sites like kunmanga and others and I realised I really miss your comments there cause others dont speak up about the bullshits on that site xD
Don't mind my comments
To anyone disagreeing with or calling out @lightening-kun, I support you. She consistently shows misogynistic behavior and openly hates on female leads in almost every manhwa. What she calls “reviews” often just spread negativity and kill other people’s mood and interest in reading. When someone disagrees with her, she curses them like immature person. So many people have pointed this out, yet she still can’t realize her mistake. If your opinions are just hate and toxicity, keep them to yourself instead of ruining others’ enjoyment.
Louelle
Idk why hate comment is a bad thing I mean they’re just saying things with no filter and sometimes an honest bad review is good there are many dumb fls which really piss me off too(dont get me wrong i love women) so I think hate comment is fine! idk about this one I’ll just give it a go and see what they are fighting about lmao
Louelle
you know what I just read it till chap 12 and I dont like the ml he’s creepy also the fls going through stockhold syndrome and the ml is a perv too so that comment isnt anything wrong I feel
Lightning-Kun 🍀
YOU JUDGED MY REVIEW? YOU JUDGED MY OPINION? Just who ARE YOU? It’s not your business if all my reviews here are negative. I am saying what I see and what I understand. Don’t read my review and just scroll down if you don’t like it. Stop acting like you own this comment section. And let me say that we have something called ‘different perspectives and taste.’ If you don’t know what these things are, oh dear, search it first, including your brain that acting high and mighty here like as if your own opinion is only acceptable b*tch🖕🥱What’s the use of a comment section if only flowery comments are allowed? Lol, sorry, but half of the reader population are not plastic with a little rainbow pony brain.
Lightning-Kun 🍀
And another thing @Andyz don’t go around tell the “right” or “wrong” thing thinking you have red a thing or 2 will be the correct thing, idk u have read about this or anyother thing but many stuff floats around fairies like there r real life accounts of faires too, the tiny beings that were spotted in certain places and what not, there have also been channelers who have talked about these little beings that they are intelligent and work in ways that seem fanatsy there are various things on faries and what not, when we r in comment section we also talk about whatever creature there is from manhwa pov, alright no one is going real life or this n that pov here.
Lightning-Kun 🍀
I got no filter. My review, my opinion, NOT your FKING business.
If you don’t like what I say, don’t read it.
Don’t come at me in full Angry Bird mode, flapping and screaming for no reason. And don’t tell me to shut up like you own this damned comment section. I’ll write what I want, negative or not. There is no rule book here. Don’t act all haughty, telling me a thing or two.
It’s not my job to cater to your feelings. We all have different opinions and perspectives.
So for once, act sane and mind your fking business.
Lightning-Kun 🍀
@AustralianAndyz I am not commenting from real life pov here, but what is mentioned in manhwa faries from the book were intelligent creatures, contrary to MLs reaction. They were intelligent enough to help and what not this have nothing to do with whatever you sayin.
Pinkchik
If Lightning-Kun 🍀 dislike it then must be good 👍👍👍👍 calling someone retard is showing how ignorant and uneducated you are. At the moment you post it in a public space your review everyone can fucking criticize
Bunny...
Something different!
Lightning-Kun 🍀
I have red till 12 chaps… and I’m repulsed by ML I honestly dislike shit like confinement and other bs…. really unpleasant to see a grown ass… no I mean a manchild doing his thing…
And FL catching feelings for the retard when he didn’t take her feeling in consideration is also unpleasant to see…
ML is a true retard… in his sad sob story we see why he wanted fairy n blah blah bs.. but why he treating her like animal pov? ain’t faries intelligent beings who grant wishes? and not your typical hamster? all n all the same pattern we see in these confinement cage or other obsessive ML related story they also have pretty art… just so ppl will consume it for the sake of it…. so far idk ML is nowhere near my taste…
.
Oh and yea… most importantly
I GOT NO FILTER… my review my opinion not your fking business.
Dvengr
Nah, @Lightning-Kun. It’s not having no filter or whatever other b******t justification you’re spewing. It’s about being a toxic, misogynistic incel who managed the feat of annoying the entire harimanga community with all the out-of-control and extremely unrealistic commenting. “Oh and yea… most importantly” your so called “review” (lol) became our “fking business” when you made it public.
Yoink-
brother the moment you post your opinion online, it becomes public, making it peoples business, if it’s not our business why post it? If we can read it because of a decision you made(to post it in case you’re confused rn) then it’s no longer “not your fking business.” Get that into your fucking head
AustralianAndyz
i rarely comment but ts is so fkin wrong and proves u only have read fantasy stories abt fairies and don’t know how fairies were considered to be mythical beings and were widely pagan folklore or were known to be spirits of the dead, heck will o wisps are known as fairies and this story also follows a premise similar to what humans used to people affected by the black plague they used to ostracize them and call them demons, fairies here are just that mythical beings but believed to be either a angel/devil in disguise so they would be imprisoned….
Louelle
agreed I hate the ml too who tf acts like that towards their pet? chapter 10 made me realise ml is a perv I mean the fl isnt wrong she’s going through stockhold syndrom if u realise but even so chill out its just a comment section

(Currently on Ch-11) This was a fresh read, new from all the reincarnation or revenge stories and the art is quite pretty too! I also love how this story base—you can’t keep what you love trapped in a cage(Please don’t take this negativity, this story is actually really good!)
