My theory is maybe this is Dana's third life already. Like 1st life, our world, where she read the novel. 2nd life, novel world, and she follows the book thinking if she dies (or the book finishes), she'll go back to 'our world. Then ML turns back time and she also goes back in time so this is her third life now.

But other manhwa usually : 1st life - fantasy world, 2nd life - korean modern world where FL read her past life as a novel but she doesn't remember that the novel is real, 3rd life - going back to 1st life, but FL thinks she just got into a novel world, then gradually remember that the novel world is originally her first life

Shet, I read this without so much thought but this is actually soo good!! I was honestly getting tired of reading historical Isekai manhwas talking about nothing but politics. This was a great breath in the air. I didn't expect to find a fantasy-adventure type. And with all the less conflicts between the couples, I am able to focus on the problem ahead without worrying for another lover's quarrel. And the way they tried to save ML reminded me a lot of Fairy Tail in the early years I'm so going patiently wait for future chapters.

Though I didn't really mind who she would end up with, I was sad that Ruve didn't have a redemption arc. I was actually ok with the plot however, after having to read the ending, I didn't like it as much. It's such a waste but it would've been better if Jieun stayed as the villain. I would've like it if the fact that Ruve loved Tia in the past life was definite. I would've love if it Jieun and Ruve didn't have a child. Now, I feel so bad to her. And now, I am questioning Ruve's feelings for Tia. Because even if you say he now love Tia with all his heart, could he have done the same if things were different? If what happened in the past was definite and not corrected?
I wish we would've seen a side of past Ruve being sorrowful and regretting his life decisions. I've said this about that one character in The Villainess Lives Twice, and I'm also going to say it here again. I wish he died knowing where he was wrong.
This is an addition but I wish the future Ruve and past one had met. So Future Ruve could scold his past self. And even hate his past self over the stupid decisions he has done.
I also wish Ruve realizes the dream Tia was ttalking about was reality. Not a nightmare but a reality.
But alas, that would never happen now since the series is finished:(

Ah, great to find a kindred spirit. Thank you for nicely writing out what I also felt was missing but didn’t put into words myself. I agree with you. Initially, at the very beginning (probably first 20 chapters when tia was restarting her life), I wasn’t sure if I should continue with the manga when I found out they would still end up together. After just reading the chapters on the previous life, I couldn’t fathom what could possibly happen for tia to be able to let go of this pain and fall in love again.
I thought some parts of the manga had some potential; I liked this manga gave a different spin on the isekai troupe and instead of following the one who went another world, it focused on the one who had her life ruined by someone who came from another world.
It certainly would have been more satisfying and more realistic if tia’s past life was acknowledged by the prince not only just as a dream (esp since she knows it wasn’t.) I don’t think ruve should be blamed for a past life he has no memories about, but this just makes the ending really sloppy. esp with whole god and blessed child thing behind the reason why time was turned. To me, it seems more like a curse rather than a blessing that Tia, the one who did nothing wrong, has to carry painful memories of the past while Ruve, who ruthlessly hated her, continue to live scot free while she has to live w emotional and mental trauma. I don’t get why the innocent has to live with the painful memories (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

Tbh, I kinda hated how Aubrey died. It wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be. I would've preferred it if she was humiliated in public and then Cedric publicly chooses Tia over her. I wish she would've had a grasp of where she went wrong. She was only saying "Eh? Eh?" when she was about to be killed be her sister. That was really disappointing for me

True, but until her end, she still doesn't know where she's wrong. She still selfishly thinks Cedric was hers. I would've preferred it if the fact that "Cedric was never hers" was slapped on her face. She was too self entitled for her own good, I guess I just wanted to see her hurting of the sad reality ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Can someone spoil me, lol. I already watched the drama but I also want to read the manhwa ver but the people in the comment section says how bittersweet it is. I skipped to the last chapter and saw how Haru and Danoh ended up together in the end. And even if they don't end up together in the new current book, they can always find themselves again in the next books. I don't understand why people are still sad:(

spoiler warning
i have not watched the kdrama but, danoh dies at the end (which was fated in the story, her death was predictable but she still lived having smiles on her face). haru was there with her at hard times, but because he is only an extra with no role, but cannot just be anywhere, there are borders for him. haru watched her last death, smiling, holding back his tremble. she says something like "good he's not trembling" and smiles back. after she dies, but starts trembling when she's not looking. he only done it to make her happy and calm before she dies because he cannot do anything. you cannot stop fate in this book.

in the kdrama version, haru dissapears and danoh graduates. after that, the book ended and we see her in a new book. the new book was a college romance and she meets haru again. they remember each other but I was left dissatisfied cause the rule of the book wasn't properly explained. but thank you for explaining how danoh died:( that must've been so heartbreaking. even though they do meet again, it's still sad to remember how haru couldn't do anything because he was just an extra. and in the new book, they were born on different time/era:(

I hate how when someone cares for one and make the wrong choices, they are automatically ridiculed by everyone in the comment section. As if everyone isn't bound to make wrong choices. But setting all that aside, I love how this manhwa became so realistic.
1. How they foreshadowed Estelle's hate towards the King as "Luci not being able to move on from the crown prince"
2. How they didn't force the idea of "Women should do whatever they want" and then proceeds to respect them instead of ridiculing them. Because who says women can have their choices? Sometimes, they are just bound by their restraints, and can't do anything. I just love how Estelle chose to understand the women's position instead of judging them.
3. How y'know, Estelle ends up with Jed.
Though honestly, I feel kind of bad for Khalid. They are the definition of "met at the wrong timing". Like y'all, they were even betrothed and at some point, Estelle had a crush on Khalid. But war and shit happened. Anyways we should be thankful of him cause if Khalid didn't wish for Estelle's reincarnation, she wouldn't be able to have her happy ending.
I can't with people being insensitive. FL already said she liked the prince. She had expressed it multiple times. So ofcourse she would consider being with him.
Besides, her relationship with Cabel rn is more like forced because she thinks ML would kill her or something.
However, she does loves ML in the future, but I think for now, her feelings for him are just budding. It hasn't bloom yet.
