Tiring

by Nyxsha

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

Whole story is story about misunderstandings and nearly only misunderstandings, literally I mean, all characters think that Lisha has terminal illness, while she isn't (probably? around finale I was confused about few inconsistencies about it...), and they see FL actions ONLY trough those glasses (well, except Daniel). Also while reading alternative epilogues was most tiring part, I understand why there are here - to show as that other boys wasn't better choice, but they are still hot.

Dropped so hard 😭

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

Man this started out so good and funny I seriously reread this 3x's just waiting for new chapters to drop but then the ML came in f'd everything up, the FL was fun then she turned into a bland one noted save me daniel, help me daniel, i love u daniel even though ur dangerous to me and might kill me but i'll let it happen in just 3 chapters WTF is that b*llsh!t no chemistry having crapfest.

I tried to endure it lasted till ch75 still some funny sweet moments with other characters but when Dan pops up that smile turns upside down real quick, it became a lot of page turning till he goes away but he turns into a plague u can't escape so I regretfully dropped it.

This was like a 9 for me during covid era the premise, misunderstandings, art and the FL being level headed and a goof all at once was delightful but like I mentioned as soon as dan shows up this drops too a 3 so fast.

Male lead... more like male omega

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

Ugh anyone would have been a better lead than Daniel. Seriously what were they thinking? He's so meh. He's like a watered down puddle of desire and a bit of mystery 🥲 she has a smorgasbord of men and she goes for him. Even when they added his back story I feel like the timing was off. Ignore him and the story's adorable 😅 why this is rated really well on multiple platforms; I don't understand... but the tie together at the end was nice if not a bit tedious.
All powerful half spirit my ass😮💨

Go read villains are destined to die for good character development.

Needed a little more time to cook

Rating: 7.5 / 10.0

This story deserved about 25-50 (maybe even 75) more chapters to really flesh everything out that it wanted to do. I loved the plot with Libertia's memories however the climax was both rushed and dragged out. However, I was moved to tears many times, I took a mega ton of screenshots and white the romance was meh, I love the relationship between Libertia and our FL. I reccomend this story to those who want a pure FL, no (full on) white lotus, and want a story focused on friendships rather than fully caring about a complex plot. It's not a junk food story, but it also isn't a masterpiece that'll be forever perfect in your mind. It really suits an 7‐8/10 ranking. So close, but narrowly missing the mark.

Love Interest Development Is Trash which ruins the story and art

by BATMAN THE GREATEST
2 years ago

Rating: N/A

The story started very good but the main problem with story gets ruined is not because of plot but because of the love interest of female mc which I am pretty sure on one liked it sounded half interesting but as soon as he was introduced all gone backlash and the there were many other mc that felt way more sense to be romantically involved like the knight and duke this is why it's a double edge sword on in this case multiple age sword when female mc have multiple love Interests and female mostly falls for one that every reader hated and he always seemed to have emotion of killing her first this type of stories are the reason why I want to give my habit of finishing whatever I start I heavily warn you to only read uptill 30 or 35 chapters cause the love interest even the blonde guy angel friend would have been better not that he was that alone it says how much terrible and trash love interest she chose and i know you would be thinking this much low rating just for terrible trash love interest Yeah mostly just for terrible trash love interest if she gad relationship with knight or duke i might have given it 8 but in thes types of stories love intrest matters more than you think as if a terrible love interest started to touchy and kissy bit people would skip sour taste and even if like me enduring all the pain they read it if the plot is mid it won't help i these types of plot or stories it only help when your favorites love interest gets attached ir your favourite shio get shipped like in the villainess wants a divorce in which story is straightforward with a little twist but it worked cause everyone got thier shipped love interest in that which clearly didn't happen in this so if you do get attach with shipping knight or duke with female mc don't read it further for your heart and mind if you have not read it congratulations you will be happy if you continue to do so but if you already had read to the terrible point you have my condolences I Know your pain it's a shame and cruel fiction reality that such comedy likable female mc mostly always have terrible trash love interest and also spoiler (if you want to know how terrible it would be until the end🙁
She not only have relationship with the terrible trash love interest but also has a child with that terrible love interest which really annoyed me till the end I was so happy when it ended not because it was good but it was so terrible!

ML...argh

by SeesARead
2 years ago

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

Like many others, I loved the story up until the ML showed up and their relationship starts getting closer. A lot of things don't add up or make sense. Idk if it's because it's due to different literary cultures but I do see that the author is trying to convey thoughts...it's just not coming through. Despite all the backstories and whatnot, I'm still not into the leads' relationship. I absolutely don't mind that he doesn't get introduced till later on in the story. I think it does well to create that mysterious aura but their meeting and interactions aren't very impressive. Like nothing jumps up and makes your heart flutter or get excited about the two being together. There are also events that does nothing but drag the storyline, aka the intention to create suspense failed.

Not great but enjoyable until the Male Lead was chosen...

by lancergashinda
2 years ago

Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

There's not much substance, but it's fluffy and sweet and the art is beautiful, but...
Somehow she falls for a guy that she only just met, 40 chapters in, who want to kill her and is just a jerk in general..? The romance felt so forced and nonsensical, their feelings really came out of nowhere and they have zero chemistry. I found myself skipping parts about the ML after a bit because they were so boring and awkward. I generally never does that, but it gave me second hand embarrassment to see them fawn over each other for absolutely no reason. It was instant love even if she knows the guy has bad intention, she keeps putting herself in danger to see him? Like at least she had some sort of friendship with the two first guys... Probably will have to drop it because I don't know if I can manage all this with the plot becoming more romance focused... What a shame, the art is great and the first 2 guys were nice...
EDIT: I skipped to the end and to be honest, the plot twist is meh. Not worth putting up with the rest of the poor writing for, in my opinion. Don't really make sense either, but I did skip like 20 chapters... Though that kind of stuff should be foreshadowed way earlier, I guess.

Was so good until they introduced the ml and the story went from 100 to 0 ……. out of every choice she chose the cold and frankly RUDE guy as the ml. I feel sorry for the other guys
