siana's character is GREAT in writing yet unfortunately it's not consistent. it's the typic FL with numerous talents but the story gets reallyyyyy close to adding nuance (her backstory, true indifference, cunning attitude, morally ambiguous) but it just doesn't maintain her world views throughout. prince is a weird cutie and i'm particularly fond of the way this artist draws smiles! still a fun read

i can't help but fall in love with the cast, ESPECIALLY ceres because it took 50 whole chapters to see improvement in him. fl doesn't just magically tame him; they have purposeful conversations that aren't just her comforting him but are realistic, clumsy attempts given her position. diarin escapes from the "always gentle saintess" archetype because of her quirks and well-done characterization. you WILL laugh lol

an intriguing story which is definitely more than "family falls in love with FL and coddles her". relationships with the characters feel earned and clearly defined steps are taken to have each one open up to her, making it all the more satisfying. furthermore, this is hands down the BEST romance i've ever seen in isekai. the story does stall sometimes (slow burn) but theo falling for perry is extremley gratifying.

will have you bawling at times. such a cute couple which is all fluff but you feel so, SO badly for these two. my god both these characters are the biggest green flags you'll ever see. getting into this i was expecting it to be sloppily written but it's the type of story with well-used misunderstandings and satisfying conclusions: the moment they confessed to each other had me in tears. it's not an extreme plot or anything, but not boring!

i could go on and on and on but this is a MASTERPIECE. tesslid is an insanely complex dynamic character while aillete being overpowered somehow doesn't feel clunky. outstanding world-building and even more amazing pacing and character development. this is genuinely a masterpiece. pls read this + novel is insane... let this marinate TRUST.

i think the 9.1 rating stems from the thought that schuer is the stereotypical "aloof, stupid" fl. she really isn't once you get past the first few chapters. schuer is cringy, honest, always beeming: but whats different is that the people around her, including herself and ml, recognize that. but schuer doesn't care about anyone's opinion but the duke's: so what's "stupid and shameful" becomes so, so endearing.

proof you don't need a convoluted plot or etiologies for the motives in your story. this story, on its own, is super basic: but its the banter full of emotion befitting each character that makes it stand out. i rlly liked the coloring style despite the simple art! tsundere ml done AMAZINGLY well x never-giving-up fl. very cute, very cliche, very good. ml has massive tits
