7 i still don’t know if it’s ov’r written or rather deep, i’d suspect it’s a bit of both The over intelligence and the calculations of the rose princess are a bit much The secluded cursed girl is truly interesting The whole story made me truly curious

77 - 4+ ? part of it feels like « finally ! » it’s truly interesting to see the character’s feelings : the hero who has to pretend to be happy, the dying friend ‘s « blessings » which feels like a curse - how can the reader believe in the happy ending romance is the characters’ lifes have been trampled by the loss of kin, family and friends Do you walk peacefully and happily through life, on the graves of everything and everyone dear to you ? The « hero » of the story doesn’t want to loose himself in burning feelings that won’t last, he want to keep what is most important - he doesn’t want to claim his ideals to loud and put his family at risk because of his teen impulsive sens of justice … he’s scared beyond word by the story that the MC wants to go through as if she’s reading the most romantic story That’s the second thing - the MC is among the few that refuse to be more than figuration in their life because of a novel read in the past. She acts on the very strange and dangerous beliefs she’ll go back if she finishes her role : for once, it’s brought by in a not too nonsensical manner I tend to believe these characters are psychotic, but in this current story, the MC doesn’t know if she died, and truly doesn’t have any closure with before (can’t call it a « past life ») - it’s interesting to see she noticed it’s quasi evil to play her pary as her sacrifice means turning a good boy into an impulsive murderer - she strangely doesn’t notice how it can affect her best and beloved childhood friend (the hero) She has some interesting struggles and finally realizes she belongs in the world she’s living and her feelings are here - the past from another world has been forgotten : naturally ! It’s long, thinking it takes her 12 years to figure that out and that she never questioned the fact she might not succeed at coming back by dying seems incredibly long - greeving takes time, but it’s absurdly long, but at least this réalisation can be seen as an introduction to a story that can now start There are three characters knowing the « future » and they will now walk a different path - Compared to another story where the MC truly died once before the ml turned time, the characters in this story makes much more sense - It’s also interesting that there’s avariety of people, knwing, dreaming, etc about that very same past life. So far we add two more, who seems to be working in the blond guy team. It’s a nice rush to change the future, facing a very evil and powerful vilain. Of course, changing the present remove the edge of the future knowledge There’s also the notion that there’s an intention and deliberate acts to turn back time : but how many people were involved ? What is the cost ? There’s plenty ideas that are a nice upgrade on more conventional stories. The pacing is also different. The schools years are super fast, there’s not much of these filler chapters. All of wich is pretty good. So why just 4+ ? Maybe because the MC feels vague? All these unfeeling/detached characters, are just that : you can’t relate to that, except if you’re sorely depressed yourself ? The ML is about as caricatural, albeit more interesting , but he’s also a light version your typical to face puppy/tyrant, with yanyan tendencies. You also have a tiresome couple whit a girl thinking she’s not meant to stay. They cuddle all the time, he’s absolutely possessive, protective, etc. But she doesn’t get that he likes her ?? Meh In fact, there seem to be an interesting plot going on. It’s good, but brain is more happy than my heart. Must be great as a novel, and super challenging as a webtoon

102 - 4 +- the beginning is simply good ! Beautiful value and a very peculiar MC wave philosophical tale weaving family supporting each other, wounded heart finding a meaning to their lives through the kindness and acceptance they received . Strong people growing a sense of perspective from these delicate encounters, and an entire cast pf teenager becoming better humans Alas, even if some of it stays and the author does indeed build characters with depth and growth, most of the spark gets diluted when a plot full of villains starts to becomes the main interest It’s getting slow in places , and mostly, it feels like the fruit has been pressed leaving only a pretty peal. As often, while the character becomes functional, you end up with yet another character who just wants to becomes stronger and battle against friends and foes to keep growing It’s certainly lost a lot of what made it special I don’t care to much for another good vs evil story full of sacrifices and tragedy to unfold . There was so much in the small lifes of extraordinary beings whose strength lies in their determination, it was way more fascinating than another wicked devil plot Novel https://daonovel.com/novel/reformation-of-the-deadbeat-noble/

Becoming The Villain's Family

72 - it’s interesting despite the MC not making sense at all We - again - have an humongous victim of child abuse, then abuse - then, she turns back it time, after living a mere ten years as a caged and broken tool : that’s a full twenty years of life without an ounce of love or care : how did she even survive ? And with next to none interactions, appart from being treated worse than a slave ( nonsensical !!) but how on earth could she possibly grow a personality out of that ? No archetype should fit these dramatic experience, and it’s beyond most trauma The thing is, she knows way too much, it’s not congruent : how can she have an opinion about child care, how could she know about pencil brands, when she doesn’t know the name of food, how can she have table manners and etiquette, how can she know how to write / read ? Where does her reverse psyvchology or her authority even come from? It doesn’t make sense - it’s lucky she’s not all hurt and pathetic for us, but - for once- think a transmigration with her memory would at least be better If not for thses big hole in her description, the rest is interesting, the siren, the absence of revenge, the ambition too care - that’s all good She also has fragmented knowledge and very few puzzle pieces, this is nice too The villain family is the same caricature as always, ruthless with big hearts - no comments The cast is nice, but with too little depth, and the tiresome gimmick of getting crazy stupid about the cute ten years old « baby » The art is pretty nice too and it’s not too slow, albeit a bit too much « one character centric «  It’s enjoyable so far, and leaves curious for more, at least in the original parts of the story ;)

128 - 4.5 - exceptional beginning in that category, there’s a lot of professional life, it’s entertaining, the characters are great, it not too badly centered on the MC (let’s hope it last ?) and teamwork matters After a strong start, it turns into something between a slice of life and documentary on idol life It’s still plenty informative, all the characters have their own personalities and screen time, it’s nice that there’s no special power and not much perks coming from the re-life thing. That second part is certainly less epic than the star contest, but it’s plenty informative and entertaining Great pace and good vibes for a light and fun read !

30 - it starts slow and childish, the mc is certainly not too great at the beginning and you need a few chapters to realize she’s actually pretty nice, grounded with good set of values… and nerves of steel (or plastic ?) Very nice modern fairytale, i absolutely love that there’s no bad guys and that good communication prevail There’s quite a few unpredictable things going on, appart from the big sister romance (fun and fluff), but it has a lot of good vibes There’s a bit about discrimination and bullying in c20-22,it’s pretty smart too
