Don't get me wrong, I like this manhwa, the art is great, the plot is somewhat alright.
What I don't like is the constant reproach of the original Diana for not knowing that her brothers loved her.
Children aren't born knowing how to read others. Children learn as they grow. And if their environment is one of hidden worries and clear neglect, of course the child is going to be emotionally stunted.
How could have little Diana known that her brothers loved her if they never said anything?
FL knows about it because she's read the book. But to the actual child who lived that story? How could she have been able to tell? She's not a mind reader. How could she have known that the harsh words spoken to her were masked worry?
The narrative keeps presenting the original Diana as an irredeemable villain, I don't like it. Sure, she's done bad things, that's clear. But the repetition of "How could she have not known?" starts to get a little annoying after a while. How can you blame a child for not being able to read the emotions of a closed off adult?

Anyways, that's all for my ted talk.
