i'll be your family jayna, i hate when stories give characters not one but two shitty lives.... it's even worse that it was a full rebirth. she deserves happiness

i got about halfway through it and then skipped to the last chapter but everything is just so good and so bad at the same time. like the mc didn't even try beyond saying "i don't like ben" to get her mom to attempt to see her dad (i initially thought it could be a money issue but the priest got there very easily).

if mcs dad had actually like visited his wife after coming back to reality they also could've lived together.

while i liked the dame her character was weirdly inconsistent (like one ch she's says she hopes mc dislikes her then the next she isn't). and this isn't the dames fault but assuming your lover was alive were you just going to make her your mistress or???? also there is def other ways to give her power than to give the dame a title esp if you weren't gonna have kids and keep inheritances separate

the thing that kinda just put me off the most was the weird religious allegories. like you come out swinging that you murdered a bunch of people for not following your religion around ch 15/20ish and we are supposed to think yall are decent people? also it was mentioned like every other chapter which im not a fan of in general in fantasy novels, but i could deal. however they just kept mentioning the genocide of the pagans with it

anyways i was expecting more from this due to the art but its just mid if that
