tbh, i knew the smut would be hell of a ride especially with Taehoon's nonexistent organs (which i wonder how he still heals if the magic is gone) once the plot was thicker than Leo's dick, I began to value the relationships of other characters as well. Especially Charlotte, she's a bad ass who had to go thru so much and was forced to lose everything because some dumb god says so.

and i became attached with Dojin because he's the real MVP, man. He accepted all of Taehoon's bullshit from present to past and back to the future. He stayed by Taehoon's side and his mental state is so strong he doesn't even flinch at every new info he receives anymore. he just... sighs and accepts it HAHAHA

and the cyclical plot is cohesive. and i know how hard the author tried to tie loose ends with every named character.

(and yes, rape and abuse is hella prominent on this one. i like that the plot actually explains why or that the setting makes it a natural crime to occur instead of making it an edgy additional. esp with misogyny and power-hungry the setting is. incest and breeding. all the sexual taboos people would be generally uncomfortable with. but it adds to the twistedness of the setting and the theme of the story as sex-oriented.)

the spoiler did spoil my mood because i was introduced to a jerk and they were supposed to end up with each other anyway. but i couldnt get this off my mind because i want to judge for myself

the author executed the time reversal in a way that changed Aristia and those she becomes close with... including the prince. hence, her reactions intrigued the prince and influenced the prior resentment. i know now why he resents her and why he became villainous. Yet Aristia is sent in a time when he wasn't evil, a slate that could be influenced into someone better. coz you know, this version of the prince did nothing and would be "innocently" affected by how Aristia treats him. i like that her trauma was confronted and she unconsciously meets his gaze and she doesn't shake from fear. but yes, trauma does pop up the least we expect. she still doesnt trust her future with him.

HOWEVER, the author gave Aristia some big words of trust that the prince now is different from the prince then when she was arguing with jieun. all the while being the most indecisive and foolish woman in contrast to her supposedly wise disposition. yes, fear could have ruled her but the plot becomes so random, inconsistent, and chaotic that the prince become so pitiful for being a shadow... and this "shadow" was supposedly addressed during Allendis' arc already.

it's like the author is making Aristia more stupid and inconsistent while poorly executing her indecisiveness. from ep 130 onwards, she becomes infuriating. was it because of the poison?? but does that make her stupid??

anyway, the ending is so subdued because of how chaotic ot was executed. and Jieun? damn, i feel bad for her because she's a convenient set piece for a third party, affecting the plot by her existence, not necessarily about what she does or who she is.

i like how open and almost pansexual this is. they're not afraid to be open with their affections regardless of sex. Plus, im thinking of how genderfluid the lead is because she is female in a male body. it also gives more of a slice of life feel

it is sad that the negotiations with the publisher has led to the manga being dropped (goes to show how important retail is but a leecher like me can't complain because i am part of the problem)

anyway, i enjoyed this teaser like product because in a sense, the journey has just began.

am i the only who sees Millard as a pathetic man who just wags his tail for Areum? It doesn't complement Aruem's personality at all because now it looks like a master-slave relationship.

my fave chapter is the ending only, lmao. that domestic life with their son, Weijen, and how they handled it as parents.

what happened to Ezra tho? I felt like he had his own arc but the author gave up on it.

im most frustrated when they treat the queen with delicate hands. she can play dumb even if there is evidence, but when it's not her, the get dragged away. like? the matriarch power here is as frustrating as the common tyranny of patriarchy (goes to show that tyranny is a matter of greed and not sex—but since patriarchy has ruled most of the nations and caused the reclusion of women, misogyny exists. that's why equality like Yuri and Kail is what we need, that sense of co-dependence).

and im just thinking how ideologies are only possible with power because just as Kail said, the nation must be powerful enough to stand on its own and be able to defend itself from external attack (sovereignty at work). and it's the same with Yuri... she had to slowly change herself in order to protect the people around her. she sacrificed her chances to go home, her innocence (coz she went to war), and ultimately her life (devotion to kail and her people).

Yuri is truly a strong female lead. romantic and emotionally empathetic while also rational and assertive, a perfect blend of feminine and masculine traits. she is both independent and dependent, someone who is not bound by female stereotypes, which i think is one of the reasons why she even survived being taken to a different time and place... and why she was summoned. she's a modern teenage girl who was reckless and it's nice to see the author build her up to attain a natural maturity demanded by her environment.

she's like, the best example of why men and women would love someone... and why there are alot of 'obstacles'. she's not the typical protagonist who is loved just because she's the protagonist.

too many subplots which makes it seem directionless... like, it started with helping the poor land develop thru her knowledge from her past life which could have been the central point but the execution didn't complement it. the sudden introduction to magic and her secret skills, the info about the true identity of her family which is so sparsed or revealed in awkward intervals because of the coffee entrepreneurship, the kidnapping, the distant relatives, the epidemic...

there's no clear organization to the sequences that's why it feels so random. especially the way she throws in her modern knowledge and the delayed information from her parents... and the ending is somehow lacking because there's no clear climax as well. it just went from 'youre just a poor noble' but wait 'you' re actually an OP' but WAIT "you're just human!'

i almost backed out because of the tag... like im not ready for something tragic and i also worry that it might romanticize the stereotype that girls love bad boys coz they want to reform them... and i had that gut feeling that she must just find him pitiful...

but like, it is executed so beautifully that once i started I couldnt stop reading... especially the facts about the past and how the whole thing even started is so cohesive. i was worried that there would be plotholes to the facts (coz sometimes long stories tend to forget nitty gritty details or forget to fill the gap once the characters are lovey dovey).

she agreed to her role, thinking she could do it. but unlike most reincarnations, she fell under a tyrant king and with people who didn't value her role. hence, the substitute hero. she could've done her role even if she was scared and the author did well to show that her environment impacts her ability even she had a power.

also, it's a beautiful twist to recognize how the substitute heroes try to save her reincarnations from the demon king who ironically wants to sacrifice her reincarnations to revive her. Marcus and Jun are complex characters even if they're story are unraveled in pieces. like, they're more interesting than Graham and Louisa...

also, Graham is the wittiest among the other heroes who chose distance to save their partners... but they hurt their partners instead.

too slow as well and it doesnt have the angst of an isekai. for 10 chapters, i had to endure a very passive and low build up and just when things pick up everything just happens one after the other (which is better but contrastingly whipsplashing) it finished well, tho. but yeah, my fave would be the "tomboy" princess HAHAHA

(i read fiction to witness active characters, so the passive traits of both leads are boring and frustrating.)

mmm, the fluid or dream-like sequence of conclusion is so fleeting that i can't even find it satisfying. Compared to it's grounded beginning, i feel like it becomes an illusion, a mind construed conclusion that would create an ideal ending. it doesn't feel "real", as if this wasn't ths actual events that occured.

what even happened to the woman who called her Thenerelle? it couldve been a more dramatic confrontation between her and her savior. triggers could still exists even if she lost her memory, at least in ways that could be beneficial to her characterization. because in the middle of the chaos, she was written off as submissive or less bold and lively just because she became a "woman", like she wasn't even girly to begin with. she had less delicate movements and is brash, bold, and masculine. is it coz she's just lonely? will that make her timid? idk... she felt unfamiliar.
