The mood switched- bro just escaped dead and Voila! We were force to enjoy sweet relaxing time! I don't even care about their relationship now tbh. I just want to know what was the reason. I feel weird. I had read much worse rape+manipulated manga so I dared to say this is mid. It's 'not enough'
Romance wasn't enough to make readers rooting for the love interest. We haven't seen some touched moments of them yet but they straight up making Sovian brainlessly doki doki to Zerkin.
Sad & depressed scene weren't enough for drama either. It doesn't stirred my emotions at all.
Rape, violence weren't enough to make me feel disturbed like those psychological manhwa. It's not about how many things happened to uke but it's about how they portrayed it. I can feel absolutely uncomfortable with one face slap during sex scene. But this story aside from disgust towards male characters I don't really feel anything else. They focused too much on Sovian's pleasures expression.
Ngl the story flow was a bit poor. I'm not judging the plots yet because they're still on going.
(I'm not leaving! I believe this story might have some interesting plot twist. And the smut scenes were okay. I kinda like old art more but this is nice too)

I think this manhwa setting was pretty similar to the Victoria era (as you can see by the corset things and dresses design in the catalog). Pale, smooth skin was Victorian beauty standards. It represents wealth (nobles don't need to work in the sun)
Freckles was not very welcoming in the victoria era either. They were advised to rinse their face with lemon juice or rub it with carbolic acid. Mc doesn't think it's ugly that's why she said that ml and ml's niece are actually very good looking.
Conclusion, I don't think she tanning herself and add freckles because she thinks it's ugly but to make this manhwa society that probably based on Victorian beauty standards think she's ugly.

Who ever thinking that putting the place holder is a good idea must be psychopath fr. I come here with such a high hope then BAM- left in tear. When I came here for a second time the story get really confused then I find out after reading the whole chapter that I missed one previous ch because the place holder messed up the reading history.

I know that our mc has been through many miserable life she indeed deserves a new joyful life. Daughter of a powerful duke, talented and handsome twin brothers with herself having the ability and being the 'real' saintess. (Ngl it was a cliché plots) the suicidal part was the only thing that keep her away from enjoying her new life and taking a revenge.
But idk.... I don't really hate Raven. The duke daughter whose everyone thought will be a saintess so everyone treat her like 'a saintess' not 'Raven' (even her own father too). She believes it that she has only one purpose in life and that is to become a saintess.
willing to do absolutely anything for her goal is kinda relatable so i can't help taking a bias on her T-T
It's not acceptable for her to do those terrible things to the mc but it's understandable why she did it. I kinda hope there will be spin-off where she reincarnated and find other purposes to live too. Not to meet other expectations but living her own life with her own values (That will be hard though. Once your hand is dirty it can't be cleansed but I do believe that sin can not dyed a person.)
It was necessary for Raven to be vicious so our mc will have a trauma and a reason to get op power (even better if she reclaimed her position and took a revenge). That is a way to satisfy readers and get popular nowadays. It's also a given that the 'antagonists' need a reason to do bad things so the story wouldn't be unreasonable but yeah... in the end she will receive a miserable ending because she wasn't the heroine.
I don't get to know the ml well. Looks like he know something... (did he also reverse the time?) but tbh my first impression on him wasn't that great hahaha.

All i said are just
- I don't really hate Raven
- plot in the part of soothing reader's daddy issue was a bit cliche (It was overused in fantasy manhwa but ofc I didn't hate it that's why I'm here after seeing the title.)
- my 'first impression' of the ML wasn't that great because I don't get to know him yet
I never say i hate this story that I want to drop it. Did analyzing on each characters behavior unacceptable these day? Geez

I can understand why her dad would choose to let his wife live while let the child died (I would've done that too. I guess this case is pretty similar to Claude) but I can't accept him thinking that his daughter is a failure just because she can't summon spirits.
She never asked to be born. You already have successor but decided to have more children and when something goes wrong you just put all the blame to her? Damn that's so messed up.
You lose a wife that day. The son lose a mother.
But the daughter lose both mother and father. She can't even love her brother properly because of the sense of jealousy due to the comparison and injustice she face since her past life. She never had a 'real' family.
It's so messed up to the point that even if she's living in her own house she still doesn't feel like home. Now, her family isn't those who have the same blood as her but are her maid and guard. Oh god....

That red hair- Zerkin was it? He 'looks' so in love yet also doesn't care what would be happening to Sovian. Doesn't care might be the wrong word, I don't know how to describe it. Everything that happened in this train were all according to his plan. I don't understand his intentions at all that's why I don't trust him.

I can hear all the fans screaming right now. I'm rooting for that blonde guy so hard. But I understand that Blaine is the right choice.
When I'm finally accepting how the story end then suddenly new chapters came out. You don't even know how hard I kick my pillow when i read ch 61. LET'S GOOOOO OUR SECOND MALE LEAD IS GOING TO BE A PROTAGONIST!
This boii need a chance fr. He's a good guy- too good. Tbh the mc doesn't deserve the him at all but it make my heart ache to know that he's regretting not confess to Bertha to the point that he died without opening his heart again.
If he really love her I think he can accept the real Bertha. I love seeing softie turning in to a twisted mf who can do anything for his love anyway.
Oh god I love this author. Revenge, historical, fantasy, smart badass mc with rotten personality are already good enough .Bro even add smut and now there's an alternative ending!? Protect this author at all cost. Go support them.
I'm praying for my soul. Seem like korean bl manhwa author really love to messed with our fragile heart. It's going to be toxic for sure, that's inevitable....well, toxic is alright but please no more second hand embarrassment. I'm dying whenever uke does something impulsive.
