The manga started off really strong. Getting reincarnated into the middle of a battle and forced to make a decision right there? Great story set up. Having a rival find out that you aren't the same person? Good. And little nuggets such as the former queen still being in the body? Good.

Too bad the IQ was quickly replaced by EQ. Curse you shoujo genre! I think the worst part of the manga that Mari "fell in love" with Leon. Bruh, what? Frey or Darius had WAY better of a chance and made sense for her to chose them first. But Leon just "had to be the one" because IDFK Mari just "FeElS a DeEp EmOtIoN" for him. Bro, the author was just pushing her OTP and it was too obvious. There should have been more of a conflict of "Do I like Leon because of the former queen or because of something else?" He should have been dead fucking last in this race but he won because of "love" but never expanded upon besides "I feel drawn to him, he's hot, and he's nice." WEAK. THIS AIN'T 2008. TWILIGHT ISN'T THE PINNACLE OF ROMANCE STORIES BRUH. This story lost it- this is why the plot is a fucking mess since the author is too busy focusing on the romance aspect and forgets to do her plot homework.
