These are my thoughts after reading up to Ch30, so who knows, they might change later. A good chunk of it is just me ranting because gosh darnnit I'm finally going to say some things that've bugged me about the whole reincarnation genre.
I find it really dumb how our MC doesn't even bother even bringing up the idea of wanting to stay. She knows the people of the castle are friendly and loyal towards her and that Erden is looking out for her, so it makes no sense why she would fear bringing it up. Plus, even if she lived through this fantasy world, she's shown to still have the knowledge and attitude of this contemporary one; and Erden knows this, so why would she stay quiet about wanting to stay?! For such a smart girl, she has no brains. For me, it's pointless drama thrown in for the sake of "plot" and "character development". (Listen, I'm going to be real here, there's way too many red-head reincarnated FL webtoon characters who all have very similar reserved yet "strong" personalities, have some sort of trauma that keeps them going, and look 5 years younger than their supposed age. It's all the same flavor of heroine trope, and the same goes with the villainess trope. I need more variety to get me interested in a story, and so far, this is okay soley because of the premise of Erden hiding his face and the world of demon-human interactions. Goddammit, I can barely remember the MC's, Leticia's, name because it's either mentioned so few times or because she's becoming more and more forgetable.) Also, I hope this isn't another rule of the book situation where all powerful demons are evil and where Halstead gets bullied by everyone, humans and demons alike. If anything, I'd be really interested in seeing Halstead becoming a stronghold for the coexistance of humans and demons or at least a starting stone for strong human-demon alliances. I'll keep my eye on this one for now, hopefully to stay.
