there was a feel-good hurt i've experienced reading this thing, regardless on other people's negative comments about it.

... and not even in an interesting way.
(Time of writing: Completed comic, read 125 out of 125 chapters)
If you're going in blind and just want an advice without any context: Honestly this use every clichés of the revenge story genre ever and it's only redeeming quality, the characters, genuinely grow to be unlikable with time. To the point that honestly I don't think Hillis or the ML deserved an happy ending either. Don't waste your time, despite the first season seeming promising.
If you want details, then strap on.
Art: 6/10, the first artist had a better understanding of how to set the mood with design, poses and composition, which gave a better and more poetic impression that fit Hillis' roses. The new one is mid.
Story: 2/10 CLICHÉ CLICHÉ CLICHÉ. Every Over used tropes of the genre EVER, I wish I was kidding. From the guy who was so sure the fl was infatuated with him and eventually betrayed her in a past life but get obsessed once she starts being cold and hating him, to the fl being hated by her family for making her mom die during childbirth.
The justification for any actions of the family or the villains are just... not good..? Especially the family hating Hillis that intensely. They give another explanation later at the end but it feels more like a throwaway justification. To be honest, most character's feelings for each other seem unjustified to begin with.
Characters: 1/10. Wow. You would think in a tragedy they would at least make you feel sad for the protagonists but both the fl and ml grow to be GENUINELY extremely unlikable. They get worse and worse, selfish, obsessive, murderous. They genuinely never get any setback for their destructive actions, or remorses. And like, to a degree I get Hillis since she got very broken mentally from the time loops, but the ml...? He slowly become one sidedly obsessive over her, not caring about anything else ever. It's not even in a good written or interesting "Yandere" way.
At one point you just start to feel bad for anyone around the two, even the antagonists. I wish it was a "there's no good people" type of story but it explicitly state that neither of them did anything wrong in the story. Like sure Hillis... keep acting like you don't have hella innocent blood on your hands too.
Misc: Aesthetic: 8/10 for the first season. I really like how they nailed the atmosphere and behaviour of the fl being like a delicate rose but with sharp thorns.
Romance: 2/10. Hillis had reasons to like the guy but the ml had no reason to be THAT obsessed.
Also f*ck the King actually.
In short: If you read the first season and thought it was good... Then don't read the rest.

It's a pretty good story! There is a clear ML, but it's not all lovey-dovey. It's very much focused on Hillis herself, and how she grows and gets her revenge after reincarnating countless of times. I think after reading this far in you understand why it took her so long to get her shit together.

If there is one thing to complain about this story, it's...



Pretty good if you're looking for a revenge-themed story!

I fell in love with the previous artist who did the story justice. The new art is very awkward in angles and pacing of sequences. I love the story, but this new artist is making DNF this webtoon.

I like it, but there is a forced watered-down romance for no reason in it, im dropping it for shitty forcefull romance.

Abused FL has rewarding payback on those who wronged her and searches for a way to stop repeating her life over and over.

The FL is top tier: she's grown in character in a way that can make sense due to her past and current 7th life even though she's kind of slow to the curb growth wise in some aspects. She's experienced and become numb to a lot of things and turned into a powerful and all around aloof badass. The supporting cast is alright and the art is very nice. I don't care much for the romance in this manhwa, not because there's anything wrong with it but because I am far more intrigued by the main plot.

It’s annoying when people says that a work is bad because there are unrealistic things on in it but they don’t know shit.First the reasons it took her so many lives to break free from her family is probably because of something called “battered woman syndrome” which develops in cases of domestic abuse be it physical or emotional abuse. You can see those symptoms in some flashbacks where a maid or her family would yell at her or something along those line and she would think it’s was all her fault even though she did nothing wrong. Second she DID try to escape her family in her second life but ended up dying and she DID KILL THEM IN HER 7TH LIFE. And third we don’t know a single about what she did or didn’t do through out her 4th and 7th life so you have no idea whether or not she tried going against her family. If you are not liking the book then just drop it and stop spewing no sense

In the past lives she lives cowardly I get one reincarnation or three at most but after seven reincarnation she comes to her senses talk about pathetic. Comparing to The Villainess Is A Marionette which is also boring as he*l the MC's are total opposite but with same bad plot and superficial side characters and typical no character ML.
The art is good and but story is just to pathetic to watch and sympathies with the FL.
It's like she deserves what she get for being to pathetic.

It's been an awesome read so far, but I currently cannot continue reading because of the terrible translation. I've read up to chapter 30 and had no serious issues, but the translation has gotten wayyy worse. I'm going to leave this story until Bored Corona Kids starts translating this again. Please come back! I miss your great translations Bored Corona Kids ;(

Really... 7 regressions... it took her living 7 times to realize her family is nothing but a garbage can? Even being generous and the MC being exceedingly thick headed, one for the father's betrayal, one for the brother's, that should be all she needs, 3 if I don't know, she was completely oblivious on the first (which after reading about her 1st life, one should have sufficed), but 7?!?... Either way, be it 1, 2 or 7, the intro takes just 1-2ch as it often does, oh, but so much flashback material...

Well, getting that out of the way, this is another copy paste, a ridiculous family that mistreats the MC in extreme and unnecessary ways, a completely dysfunctional upbringing, there to portray how pitiful and clueless the MC was and to give a wealth of revenge reasons to several characters, thus satisfying that urge one gets when reading about a douchebag and wanting to see him pay... cliché but still, it works and it's satisfying as long as it's well done. The focus of the story (so far at least, pretty early in still) is how cool, stoic, apathetic and overbearing the FL is with some court intrigue and the "fishes", of course. Still, she is a good char, her personality change is a mess, but it's somewhat validated, I won't spoil it but apathy and being "out of patience" are the key, the author does a better job at justifying her flip in personality than most similar series. Oh, ML is decent so far, a rare sight.

In short, the MC is enough to carry the series, for a while at least, but whether it's a good manhwa or not will depend on where the story goes from the current point (ch29). It may turn out great with both an engaging story or disappointing with a story that isn't on par with it's characters (as it often happens), time will tell.
