idk how i was able to read it until ch 42. godddddd hell no. for all i care, they should of all just unalived. the story has literally no point. the plot twists are insane. going from bad moments to even worse ones. i at least thought there´d be a happy ending. or at least i wished for it. 😐 anyways, i´ve read a lot of awful things, but this one here 👏 scheiße man. still leaves a bad aftertaste

Dropped at ch 6

The story just feels so boring. Nothing in the beginning holds my interest. The ML never cared for the FL but puts "his life" on the line to turn back time so he can make her happy. All because of some journal he found. Like what? If he was that soft hearted, he would've paid her some attention even if he doesn't love her. Both leads' personalities and relationship development are so boring.

When changing the plot goes a little too far...

This series is one that I binged. It started out with an interesting premise and for the first 1/3rd of the story, it was quite good. However, around halfway through the plot begins to deviate from the original Web Novel. This can work in the story's favor, we get to see a what if version that can bring new intrigue for fans of the original work. However, it doesn't always work out, epically if the writing takes a turn for the worse. Unfortunately, that is what happens in this series.

I'll be honest I haven't read the original web novel. Though, I have been reading the comments of those who have. They are not happy with the changes and original plot line that the story has taken. At this point, I am just frustrated with the two leads.
At this point in the story ch.98

Going back in time did nothing because everyone is fucking dead. All I want is for the MC to just turn back time again so I can get out of this awful timeline.

Tbh, I wasn't hoping for full on happiness in the story. But why are all the main protagonists soooo dumb and main antagonists are tooo smart.

All protagonist so caught up with their pride and choose to hide the fact that

the point of reversing time is meaningless (I mean almost nothing changed)

The story has no real problem after the first couple chapters, and the characters themselves aren't even that interesting either.

Lacks tension

Good concept, but as soon as the FL is brought out of her dangerous situation (VERY early on) it's just banal slice of life. Nothing to really keep you reading.

Finally ML redemption

General shoujo isekai but mainly focus on ML.. No real heavy politics (currently ch 18), fluff fluff fluff

I don't get the sudden "love" and the willing to sacrifice everything from ML only after reading the diary, but well.. as long as the ML willing to redeem himself, then I'll be on board
