Like, spoilers that make sense instead of just she boinks her father and everyone else. Like why does that happen? How long in the story line should I wait for actual plot because until now, it's great but like it doesn't seem like any of the plot twists have happened. It just seems like a normal survival story. So, yeah, please
I’ve read this from someone before and I’m not sure if my memory serves me right but afaik fl was originally ml’s lover during the first and by first i mean the first life which fl doesn’t remember. Idk if it was because she kept dying or smth like that and time keeps on resetting for ml then he decided to just “adopt” her to protect her? Not really sure how that happened and how it was possible but yeah take it with a grain of salt
(This is from a reddit comment)
Okay so I have read this novel and I have to say the synopsis was basically clickbait and I didn't sign up for the serious damage this story did to my heart.
This novel has really great ratings and I was willing to turn my brain off enough to move on from true ML being her dad. You guys. All I wanted was a lil revenge story. This thing was traumatizing. Every single character goes through some serious suffering and misery. But no one gets it worse than the “dad” and priest. I will probably think about how bad things went for the two of them for a long long time.
It’s really easy to just go “oh ew the Dad is the ML” but that really isn't the whole story. After I finished the novel, my main take was that out of all like 5 MLs, she deserves none of them. Least of all the "dad".
I’m not gonna bother with spoiler tags since it’s the only thing everyone is talking about here, but stop reading here if you don't want to know how this story really goes.
From the "dad's" perspective, all he did was meet a kinda crazy girl in jail that threatened him to break her out and then he fell in love. He meets FL in his youth a couple times and finally falls in love and asks her to just stay. She obv can’t (because time is moving at a crazy pace back in her og timeline and she fucking left someone waiting. I will cry over that shit forever). She tells him to wait for her and she’ll definitely return to him.
He ends up having to do a crazy amount of timeline jumping to find the one timeline where things don’t go to shit and the world didn't end. Which means he repeatedly sees the woman he fell in love with die. Along the way, the ML picks up some curse, and it’s slowly but surely destroying his health and his sanity. After multiple bad ends he realizes that he must have children with another woman and let them die for his magic to disperse correctly to save her and the world. That's still not enough. Then it turns out the only timeline where things go right is where he adopts the FL in her childhood. By the time FL remembers everything and tries to go to him, he’s in near constant pain, mostly lost his mind, and doesn’t want to be around her at all. He became cold and withdrawn when he saw the first glimpse in her that reminded him of the woman he loved. He got really excited and then was like Omg wtf am I doing this is a child. The curse gave him voices in his head that are mostly the people's he's had to kill and they all constantly shame him for having feelings for his "child" and "was this woman really worth all this pain and suffering"
I don't mind continuing and spoiling how bad all the other guys get it too if anyone is interested. The bottom line is that this whole novel is just Xtreme Suffering for everyone BUT the FL. She's like oh I had a bad childhood. Girl, the shit every single one of them goes through makes you sound like a whiny baby.
I found this 3 days ago. And I vowed to not read it for the next 5 months, let it marinated, let the chapters flow out, the plot lead somewhere pleasant. But my curiousity would not let me sit still. I thought about this before sleeping, after waking up. Everytime I tried to read somethig else, I ended up searching for this again. And finally, when I say an edit on instagram, I ended up coming back and reading it. I regret it. I want to see them all happy. I want Rita to know it is her mother. I want Olga to know her daughter (I know not biological but still) came back. I want Isabelle to live happily with her loved ones. I want them all to stop hurting. And I know it will take a long while for us to reach there and I'm going to have to wait tirelessly and have to be hit with so much grief before I can even smile.
I love a good slow burn — when it’s done right. But this? It’s not slow burn anymore, it’s just dragging. We’ve been stuck in the same arc for over 120 chapters, with no real movement or payoff. The author keeps tossing in fillers and half-baked plot hints, but it’s going nowhere. The chapters are getting shorter, the so-called cliffhangers barely land, and it’s starting to feel like even the author is lost.
And that’s the most frustrating part — this story has so much potential. The characters, especially the MC and ML, are genuinely interesting. I want to love this. But it needs a revelation, some momentum — something. Right now, it’s just boring. And I hate that.











I re-read this every year since I first read it. Sometimes even twice. It still hurts me. I can't help myself even though I know exactly how it turns out. It's beautiful, it's real.
