I feel like I'm doing something I'm not supposed to when I read this. I binged read all 135 chapters in one sitting cuz it's really good but, on the other hand, there's so many sht that makes me side eye, bombastic side eye, criminal offensive side eye lmaooooo anyways I'll continue to struggle cuz damn it somehow, the shotacon, fanservice and suspicious elements of the story weighs less than how amazing the plot is.

It's got potential, but damn, the execution is so confusing. There's no sense of cohesiveness, it feels like random sht keeps popping up. I think it would have been better if the genre committed to being a mystery thriller instead of doing its darndest to be a romcom. That way, mc being out of her comfort zone and being stupid will make more sense. The horror factor of having no allies in the place you were murdered would have been delicious. Ugh I really wish her feelings for her killer was fleshed out better cuz I read dark fanfics exploring this kinda thing and it was so good! The conflict of falling in love with someone who did awful things to you
(I'm telling y'all the Harry potter x Voldemort pair fanfic authors are geniuses, idk how they make it work but damn the stories are good. Fcking unhinged but really good)

Seriously, no one else will be able to love them if it isn't each other. They're too crazy for other people lmaoooo
They're so different and similar at the same time. It's no wonder, they keep butting heads. So stubborn. My god, you two needs to talk. Go to therapy. Can't the goddess just die in a ditch somewhere? A happy ending is all I would take after all the grievances I had to suffer reading this story

First off, it's absolutely beautiful it has a whimsical vibe and uses warm and bright colors. Very pretty. But it also plays into the story since it really reflects the perspective of Lilyca who is a child. A child who has so much kindness and innocence in her heart despite the sht she experienced. Also, spoiler alert, Lilyca's magic is rooted in childlike belief. If she believes it to be true then it shall be. It's so precious for all intents and purposes, the grimoire was nothing but fiction, but because she believes it's true, then it will work. I love the fact that we got Lilyca's POV, an actual child, somehow the fantasy aspect feels more magical. Maybe because everything really is something new for her unlike other regressor stories focused on the regressor who was hell bent on changing things or revenge. Even the child ones aren't actual children Granted, Lilyca is very mature for her age but she isn't an adult y'know. There's a difference.

She was a bad person in the future, a bad mom and someone who never cared for Lilyca. She only realized what a villain she was when her daughter died and she regressed. It's not surprising she doesn't know how to be a good mom. We are seeing her from the perspective of Lilyca who absolutely adores her but nevertheless we know she was still lacking in many ways and is still neglectful. She comes every now and then, showers Lilyca with affectionate words and material possessions but it's not enough to consider that a good mother.
SPOILER
I've read ahead in the novel and fortunately, it does address this. It's a good thing we have this thing called character development lol cuz through that, we get a glimpse of the mother's thought process and realization that what she's doing was not enough or even right. Matter of fact it was wrong. And she's doing her best to remedy that, it's hard to break bad habits and beliefs tho so it's going slow. But it's a step in the right direction. She still needs to be not so busy tho but I'm glad she's starting to finally listen to Lilyca. As she should!

Okay... I'm not just bored of the ml and fl now, I'm actually starting to get irritated. Especially the FL. Ohmygod, I need more info about her asap cuz so far all she brings to the story was problems for our mc. The ml does too but at least he's got a lot more depth to him, we know nothing of her motivations.
It's worse too when the ml and fl are together, jfc it's annoying when they're in the same room. It's all the same sht, they talk sht then fight, then get punished, then our mc gets punished too wtf he didn't even do anything wrong, he was just there!!!
I'm so mad I'm feeling dizzy fckkkkkk that son-in-law has so much audacity I can'ttttttt I need him to fcking trip and fall on his face. And the nerve to gaslight grandma about what happened at the funeral, I hope you choke on your lies asshóle
