The story is a good but one thing thats stuck on me was how pitiful the 5th prince is. I feel like at some point he would have turned better or he would have been a wise ruler if the king was a responsible adult to begin with. If he was a father figure who guided him then he won’t have to feel unfair not receiving love or treatment his brother was getting. And yo he would not have killed Ian in the first place if he wasn’t advice or given the means to, remember he cried the end, so I think he really did consider Ian as his friend. The second life prince, i feel like he would’nt have turned so evil if it werent for the people surrounding him.
So in summary, he would’nt have turned evil or bad if it weren’t for the people and the environment he lived in. He was just misguided and unloved to begin with. Its sad how villains in reality may it be fictional or not are created through process of unfortunate circumstances and they live their life pitifully.

Is this good? Planning to read this but ain’t sure yet if its good to read or not

I've been liking it so far. I appreciate that the mc comes back to the past but isn't immediately some badass with nothing to fear, she still has to deal with the trauma caused by her past life but doesn't let it stop her from doing what she feels is necessary. I also like that she remains childish despite her past life since her body and brain aren't in sync. The setting also feels more fleshed out and less generic fantasy kingdom with magic involved because why not. And the evil plot isn't just one villain running the show but multiple people working together and the plot isn't just a basic taking over the throne plot but a web of different problems that all seem to stem from the same source. Also the emperor dad isn't some all powerful tyrant but does actually do his best as emperor and also deal with the politics of court.
It manages to do all this without getting super complex and confusing tho. Keeps the basics of these kinds of stories and just handles certain aspects better than others have in the past.
Tho I hate Ruby's brother, i feel like the priest or their father was the root of all twisted mentality. Im not excusing the brother's behavior, im just saying if the parents were righteous then children will live accordingly. I just think that evil deeds and villains are created through childhood trauma and all that shit.
I just hope and want Ruby's happiness. And toto and the other demonic cute creatures and izek (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
i agree
you r right but, with a father like that u can still be a good persin too
