this story got LAYERS, its complex and just MWAH art style is also really pleasing, same with authors weird love for man boobs but yk what i fuck w it.

i’m really not sure what to rate this. on one hand it had me turning pages like a mf, but on the other there’s not much special about it (yet, probably) as this trope—from a very general standpoint—is a lil commonly used. the art style is pretty, the characters are a little flat but alright, and the pacing is alright. i feel like this story creates elements and weaves them in as opposed to having them come out of thin air and be convenient situationally. also the part about the mcs being like fated lovers, or atleast the implication of it, is pretty cool so………. ╮(￣▽￣"")╭

art style is lovely to see—the way the artist of this manhwa really incorporates lighting and situation, making pieces flow nicely on top of having interesting characters that just make you turn pages more and more. ill admit that it does get a little stale as ML determines his love for FL and hides it—imo it feels a little rushed in a way? im not sure how to explain it, but I feel like there could just be more meat to everything. art style and characters aside, the overall plot is interesting as it keeps readers guessing and WANTING to move forward. however it gets to a point where it gets a little confusing which can make it boring, so its not something u can just sit an read mindlessly—you have to read with more intent as opposed to just lookin at the pretty art. overall, def earning that 5/5

cute read, wholesome, might not be everybodys cup of tea if they’re looking for something more revenge filled like in other villainess manhwas. mc is adorable, loretta is adorable, granny and the duke are adorable too. there’s a real emphasis on familial love/found family—which really just tugs at the strings of the heart iykwim. overall, a good read if you like wholesome family stuff!! ⸜( *ˊᵕˋ* )⸝

contrast to what other readers have been saying in the comments, i dont think FL is weak at all. she was put in an impossible position where the one person she trusted literally all her life ended up stabbing her in the back while also turning their adoptive family against her. FL can’t comprehend that she is cared for and loved in her second life (albeit the adoptive family slowly warms up) because of all the betrayal and abuse she endured in her past life. if anything, she’s doing all she can for the situation she’s in. it’s nice seeing the other characters warm up around FL. I will admit that the timing seems a little weird, though? just kinda that there’s holes here and there—with when lorena took FL’s mana, when lorena and fl were given their rooms, etc. but i suppose that can all be explained by the butterfly effect with how FL changed her and Rodrik’s first meeting. kindaish. idk, overall, the art is really nice. rodrik is fine as fuck. and hesarose is fine asf too whenever he pops up. all in all, pretty good of a read if you like some non-revenge wholesome reincarnation stuff.

i need more so bad wtf……….37 chapters and they still got me sitting on the edge of my seat scratching my neck waiting, pleading for thst damn time skip to come so i can finally see mc have her life span extended and live happily with arun and her family
