No because I TOTALLYYY agree with this. With many re-incarnation/transmigration stories like this, I came to realize that not only does the main character have the chance to redo all the things she's done wrong, or wishes to take a different path than in their first life in this second one, but as well as the characters around her. Of course the trauma will still be their but the choices they make will surely change the characters around them as well, thats just a fact. In many cases, other characters remember their first life when the main characters repeat their life, but thats only for added plot.
What I'm trying to say is that it's inevitable for characters not to change and act indifferently than in the first life, when the main character is bound to make different choices, different response in many situations, and how they are overall. I always somehow rooted for the Prince in the second life because I knew there's something more than what we're getting about his backstory. But that's just me. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I was pleasantly surprised by how much she stuck to her character development. Yeah you can say that she just returned to the prince but the thing is it's not the "bad prince" she "returned" to since the current prince wasn't someone who got amnesia but someone who didn't have a chance to become bad thus following the 1st fate so the way I see it.. it's not the same person because the prince never got the chance to be said person. I mean if the lead can is allowed to be see herself as a better person before she turned cold then why not the prince too right? :)
I honestly love how the mains have such big changes. In some isekais in changing their characters it's mostly just the main female lead we see with some major shift. Here we got the prince, we get to see the better side of the father, even the side of the jap girl.
I was already spoiled so I don't know who I would've initially rooted for X)
I didn't expect to love Carsein tho! ;_;
Spoiler review:
I spoiled myself reading through the comments intentionally because I don't like tragic endings. So learning how FL was going to end up with the prince and that part getting so much hate it was made curious..
I didn't expect it to be written in such a way that was acceptable to me anyway. The whole thing made sense.
FL wasn't exactly a good person herself thus this 2nd life gave her a chance to be so and during the pivotal scene where in she goes into shock and has a ghostly moment with her past self and how she accepted that she has changed and then changing how she views the world and so was her interactions with the prince was no longer ptsd-like thus giving opportunity for the "real" personality of the prince to wedge their way into her heart which thankfully was done in droplets and not like a whole switch over as same with the prince. I think it also helps that she loved and yearned for him so much before that made it easier.
Part of her character's gripe is "changing" so to me her choosing the prince in the end didn't come out of nowhere. We were given explanations on how they both turned to grow into such cold people in their 1st life and we can see how FL is beginning to see it with the prince too. That the prince she knew the 1st time wasn't the same as the current. But of course her past experience is still buried deeply so she tries to reject him.
At the end I loved how the prince did a blood oath to just bury all her fears of him ever changing that was a really sweet moment.
Giving a 4 because Carsein my boy needs to be happy ;_;
