Omg usually I'm pretty harsh on the sh!tty dad gets a redemption trope (thanks to Claude lmfao I hate that mf) but like....AAAAAAAA the misunderstandings were so delicious the angst was just right tbh i understand why the dad protected her the way that he did (he clearly adored her right from the beginning of her birth but circumstances prevented him from showing it) but I dont think he was 100% right lol so it made me suuupeer happy when I found out:
SPOILER
(SPOILERS he kept his memories of the first life and remembered her d3ath right from the beginning hehe I think having to live with the guilt of that was a 100% acceptable consequence tbh lol SPOILERS)

Think this manwha got too overhyped bc when i finished it just now all i thought was "thats it?" like it's not BAD but this FL...if she were an ice cream flavor she'd be something basic like vanilla and the ML would be chocolate (equally as basic just a little bit better) idkidk she doesn't really do anything? Like go girl give us nothing?? ML is about the same lol he's VERY emotionally constipated and i do not have the PATIENCE BOY ITS BEEN 100+ CHAPTERS!! Imma just let this marinate until it ends tbh

Whaaaat??? if you're calling FLs like Melissa, Deborah, and Florentia cringe then I guess that explains why you're so ride or die for Perry I guess??? You do you bro lol tbh I've already read like 10?? other manwhas/mangas since this comment and I've pretty much forgotten about this manwha lol so I can't argue

as if they' aren't cringe? they're defo cringe, if you already read those stories then might as well keep your eyes open, don't act like melissa isn't cringe most of the time LMFAO melissa is fun, but she does have a lot of over-the-top moments that can feel cringey, especially since she’s dealing with a bunch of immature characters. her whole "badass rebel" vibe is entertaining, but sometimes it's too CRINGE. (p.s. the ending of your fav story with melissa as fmc was hella cringe)
perry on the other hand, is way more composed and strategic. she just handles things with intelligence and grace, which makes her feel more mature. so, calling perry "basic" is kind of ridiculous, considering she brings a level of depth unlike your melissa and the others who's still a bunch of kids.

I guess so?? Lol you didn't mention Firentia or Deborah do you not know who they are? I really recc them if you don't bc they're definitely NOT "a bunch of kids"???? Tbh tho idk where you got the idea that my manwha list is just my favorites those are all just manwhas I've read and rated/written a review about that's about it fam
Btw Melissa is cringe bc it's comedy it's not a story meant to be taken with 100% seriousness obviously lol the tones between this manwha and Melissa's is completely different i don't think it's a good comparison tbh also the ending??? If you mean her ending up with Nine I heavily disagree lol
+ I don't like Melissa bc she's "elegant" or "strategic" or whatever at the end of it, I like a FL based off of how much I enjoy reading about them and their story. Melissa has a lot of charisma imo she's the type of character you can't help but like and enjoy reading about and root for. (Or at least that's how she appeared to me) and it's the same with Deborah, Firentia, and Aria as well I really enjoy watching them grow and thrive
With Perry I said she felt bland to me as in like idc about her story and idc about watching her getting together with the ML lol even the romance just doesn't do it for me tbh but I did enjoy the family hence why I stayed. Not saying that it's bad just not for me. She's "mature" yeah and "graceful" sure but in the end she just didn't appeal to me lol she felt like vanilla as in i still enjoy it and I'll still eat it but it's not an ice cream flavor i would say is my favorite.

so you’re really out here acting like firentia and deborah aren’t just kids when one literally still goes to school? LMAO. and now you're backpedaling, trying to justify melissa’s cringe with “it’s comedy so it’s not meant to be taken seriously” like that somehow excuses how painfully obnoxious she is. just say you prefer loud, over-the-top fls and go.
also, calling perry “vanilla” while hyping up deborah and melissa is wild, af. not every fl needs to be a walking meme or constantly screaming to have presence. perry carries herself with elegance and quiet strength, something your meh charac could never

Bro you just b yapping at this point it's fine if you don't know Firentia and Deborah and Aria lol once again really reccoment their manwhas also idk what your beef is with Melissa I get that she's not for you. Move on fam there's 100 other transmigration/reincarnation/regression manwhas to read at this point tbh I'm sure you'll find someone out there
Deborah isn't a walking meme??? She doesn't scream ??? Lolol
+ I never said Melissa isn't any of those things (loud and meme-ish) once again I know Melissa isn't "poised and elegant and mature" or whatever she's just fun to read and care about lol like THATS IT it was never that deep.
Idc if my "meh character" doesn't "carry themselves with elegance and quiet strength" what does that even mean tho every FL in this genre is some sort of aristocrat lol they all "carry themselves with elegance and quiet strength" in fact it's rare when they DON'T and actually act against the status quo

+ i tried going back and rereading the novel but I can't find anything about Deborah's age fam so tbh you might be right on that front (i thought she was a college student or office worker bc it mentioned her doing architecture??) i stand by firentia and Aria not being children even if they are in a child's body tho

But like Aria and firentia are in the body of a child but they have an adult mind so their personality is already locked in?? Like they already have goals and a purpose i wouldn't call them kids lol bc imagining them having a crush on a kid like other FLs gives me the creeps. These are technically adult women in my head

bro isn’t even sticking to their own argument. you brought up melissa, and now you’re suddenly talking about navier? you mentioned melissa because I called you out for calling perry ‘basic’, which is funny considering the cringe stories you hype up. so, in comparison, melissa is cringe next to perry. now you’re dragging anothr character into this to prove what exactly? dtick to your topic.

so frentia is an ‘adult woman’ because she regressed… yet she still grows up physically as a child and develops naturally alongside perez? if you’re going to argue she’s an adult, then shouldn’t her romance with perez be problematic to you too? you’re contradicting yourself maem, either she’s a kid growing up again, or you’re saying she’s an adult in a child’s body but somehow fine with her ending up with perez. pock a stance

She didnt grow up alongside perez tho?? She saw him like twice when he was a kid? Once when he was a teenager? And then a fourth time all grown up which is when she even BEGAN looking at him in any sort of romantic light. So i think its fine tbh a little on the gray but not TOO much for it to be a deal breaker for me.

??? so now the argument is that firentia didn’t grow up alongside perez, meaning she wasn’t shaping him or seeing him romantically until he was an adult? that still contradicts your earlier stance. at first, you called firentia an 'adult woman' in a child's body, implying that her mindset was fixed from the start. now, you’re arguing that she barely interacted with perez as a child and only saw him romantically once he was grown, essentially backtracking on your own point. you keep shifting your stance, either her mindset matters and makes it weird, or it doesn’t and the relationship is fine. which is it????

so you’re saying you’d rather have shallow comedy than an actually well-developed plot? no wonder perry feels ‘overshadowed’ to you, you’re too busy looking for cheap laughs instead of paying attention to her character depth. but hey, if you prefer 100 chapters of characters running in circles over a protagonist with actual agency, that’s on you.

Girl by mindset i meant goals like her head is in the game and shes girl-bossing her way to it ill always kudos FL that want to become/become head of their family idk i just like FL that are ambitious or have high goals. Tbh my mindset is that as long as they dont lovebomb and groom them its fine lol none of that "why am i blushing bc of an eight year old!?!!" Or smthin

But its not shallow tho? Tbh if you are seriously genuinely 100% believing that the manwha Melissa is in is nothing more than "shallow comedy" i think you're too far gone tbh lol as for her character depth i get it tbh she's just not my type of character lol you can understand a character and still feel "meh" about them.

so now ‘mindset’ just means ambition? that’s not what you originally implied when you said she has an ‘adult mind’ in a child’s body. If you meant she’s just focused and goal-driven, that’s completely different from saying she’s mentally an adult. u can’t switch definitions mid-argument to make it fit.
and let’s be real, if the problem is love-bombing and grooming, then why did you frame firentia’s situation as weird in the first place? u literally said she has an 'adult mind' (because she regressed), yet now you’re downplaying that. u’re moving the goalposts again

My exact words were "their personality is already locked in?? Like they already have goals and a purpose' which is true lol. That is what i meant when i said they have an adult personality???
What do you mean??? I didnt frame it as weird??? I said "I wouldn't call them kids lol bc imagining them having a crush on a kid like other FLs gives me the creeps" which is true?? Firentia didnt have a crush on pereza as a child?? fam not you trying to gaslight me you were the one saying it was weird

u literally said 'adult mind' here fam, u said firentia had an adult mind and 'wasn’t a kid' because crushing on a child would be creepy. now you’re acting like you only meant she had goals? if she was mentally an adult from the start, then any dynamic with perez as a child should feel weird to you—whether they met twice or ten times. u’re contradicting yourself

I think you clearly enjoy more exciting and stories that appeal to the general public more, the girl boss troupe. Perry is girlboss but not in a way that is very overwhelming she's very chill and mature and she feels much more realistic. medea and etc other fls they're more crazy and reckless because they have some op stuff going on but this manhwa is much more real so the characters have to think for themselves. Me personally I prefer the mature realistic stories but to each and their own!! Fantasy isn't bad, just because they're all historicals doesn't mean they're all the same

Brainwashing is such a lazy way of absolving characters from taking responsibility for their shitty actions lol idc I'm never going to buy it. ML and his whole family SUCK and they're all terrible people periodt. MC well girl you chose d!ck over self respect so good luck with that girliepop have the life you deserve

I let this marinate and came back like that meme with the guy entering the room with the pizza
1. Can't find it in me to hold any interest in the ML and his problems like bro has white bread personality give me SOMETHING boy
2. I MISS THE DAD THE CRAVING FOR FAMILY DYNAMICS IS SOO REAL IM GOING ON WITHDRAWAL this used to be such a feel good manwha what happened man like IDC ABOUT ROMANCE LEAVE THAT LITTLE GOLDEN BOY AND GO BACK TO Y(OUR) DADDY
3. Bro FL is looking rough what happened to her she used to be so cute i miss her little bobcut it would have been so cute if she had kept it short ugh

MC is kind of annoying she's too much of a pushover when SHE HERSELF said that she wouldn't let herself be pushed around now that she's in the main branch lol the whole thing with the adoption process would be so easily solved if bro just spoke up and said what she wanted lmfao also she acts way too much like a kid that's a grown ass woman

Fair enough but like on one hand she's blackmailing her abusive ex-boss' children and fighting them and shii and the next she's crying and acting insecure like the world is out to get her like...idk it feels very off-balanced lmao also I can't stress enough how dumb the adoption drama is lol like girl speak up??? This is such a non-issue

I guess that makes sense but like she flip flops too much is my problem I think like ur courageous enough to make a business proposal to the head of the family but not enough to say u dont wanna get adopted by an abusive pos ???? There is literally proof that he was mean to her when he forced her to kneel only for megane brother to step up and stop it. Megane could be her witness???

Honestly i get what chu mean like its 24 chaps already but this adoption drama hasnt end yet. But dealing with the kids is not the same as the abuser himself. mc is probably traumatized and too scared to speak up her mind. Even when she told herself she wont be a pushover anymore, facing someone who legit killed u in past life is definitely not an easy task.

True but it is frustrating like she has the HEAD OF THE FAMILY WRAPPED AROUND HER FINGER???? LIKE GIRL USE HIM???? she's doing business and hopping around without a care like if she's that scared be more self aware?? Lol also idk if it is just me but some scenes in this manwha reminds me a lot of "in this life ill be the matriarch" so i cant help but compare this MC just falls short in everything

I also think she fell short compare to mc from in this life life ill be matriarch. Still, doing business that she is an expect at ( handling paperwork like in last life) and the adoption process arent the same. She seems like she cant also trust other people to trust her without solid evidence( maybe she think that Jeff guy isnt really trust by grandpa) so she resolve to the book? Honestly i totally agree with the process not balancing between adoption and business. The plot is not advancing that much *smh*
Oooo she's a baddie I'm simping for her sooooo bad this reminds me of "The Princess' Double Life" sort of?? Haha I'm sooooooo obsessed with her AAAAAA still a bit iffy about ML he's too naive for my liking but she just has so much charisma that like idgafff as long as he's not total garbage I'm invested hngnnnn
