Chapter one is triggering me because why do you get to be selfish and reverse time to “finally love him like he loved you” when he’s already dead. Does this get better? The issue with this for me is that it’s harder to change in that critical time when it was needed, when it truly counted, hindsight is always 20/20. Shit, I guess, give me a story where the protagonist does the hard work in real time and doesn’t leave the poor victim in their wake. A protagonist that isn’t so selfish that to assuage their regret they literally freaking reverse time!!! Too bad man, what’s done is done, would be a pointless thing to say because I’m criticising a literal fantasy story. Is it redemption if you get the easy way out by fucking reversing time?

    She’s not selfish though. There were misunderstandings and she thought he wanted to force her to marry him which made her feel betrayed. Its perfectly understandable

    I’m sure you’re right, I was just ranting sorry this also seems like “misunderstandings: the story where misunderstandings last till one of them dies and then we reverse that shit”

    That is exactly the plot, yes. The misunderstandings persist until literally the day he dies. She then meets Genas for the first time since he forced her to leave her family to marry Enoch and gets lore dumped on her husband and realizes that she'd been in the dark on what was actually going on the ENTIRE time and then when she finds that out she searches out the dragon to make the wish to turn back time.
