2/5
pros/
+ very beautiful artwork
+ some potential gl on the horizon
cons/
+ could not wrap my head around the story lol bc the pacing sucks
+ there’s no real backbone to the story like i can’t make sense of the characters’ actions and there’s a Lot going on w the plot between the game mechanics/transmigration, 3 love interests, schemes from the villainous matriarch, and magic? theres no room for any of these elements to breathe lol
2/5
pros/
+ chemistry and dynamic is really interesting esp in the first part when he’s not sure whether to trust her
+ she has an interesting arc where she’s regarded as distant, “like an audience”
cons/
+ premise is slightly weird w the psuedo-incest. i mean from the beginning the author makes a lot of excuses that are clearly justifications like “see? this isn’t incest!” and it isnt from the ml’s side but the main chara is so questionable, esp if u consider her mental age. lol
4/5
pros/
+ this one is SO fun! the characters are endearing and have actual personality
+ fl is a famous actress and is using her acting skills to help the duke solve a mystery
+ their chemistry is so cute - she has such a bold and confident personality lol.
cons/
+ no real themes and i feel like the court shenanigans get a little over the top for the general comedic tone it has. but i guess it’s necessary for the mystery aspect? but yeah i still feel like the tone isn’t handled well
4/5
pros/
+ unpopular opinion but i like playboy romantic leads bc their chara arc has somewhere to go
+ very jane eyre
+ love triangle is angsty and messy in a compelling way LOL
+ i like the mc’s backbone!
cons/
+ time skip felt irrelevant since it feels like he barely changed and learned anything LOL and i feel like not enough attention is given to the fact that he put her in uncomf positions bc of power imbalance
+ bg charas feel rly shallow
1/5
pros/
+ it’s cute that it is family oriented
cons/
+ the pacing sucks so bad; she escapes the temple and causes a ruckus and gets picked up by a villain
+ conversations are so meandering and typical; the convos between a newly isekai’d lady and a Cold Duke go as expected
+ only thing thats Unique is the kids and they only seem like a plot device to be a Big Sis/Mom to them
+ could not get past 12 chaps bc the main conflict of “ is she the saint who escaped?!?!” is dragged out
