Love the female lead and Male lead, hate the other characters (well, except for a few minor characters). I've read the novel already (mtl), so I know how the story ends. Let me just say, you'll depise the imperial family down to the ground. They can't be redeemed, no matter what.
Crown Pince:
crown prince is not the male lead. I hate this narcissist man the most! He tried to rape the FL because she didn't want to marry him anymore. And the sad thing was, only she lived with those memories of trauma while he got away with it because of the time rewind she had to do for killing him to escape being raped. He's not redeemable no matter what! He's a spoiled disgusting trash! This a** only gets tired of his "toys" (he sees FL as an object) easily if they show him interest. When they don't show him interest anymore, he gets pissed as to why they don't like him anymore. He has a deep dark obsession with FL, which is not love because he wants to be in control in their relationship and doesn't like when things don't go his way. This dude got pissed when he found out FL held no feelings for him anymore. And thought it was his right to gate keep who she could like or not. He even admitted in his POV that he wanted her "to love him like crazy for life, even if she couldn't have him". F'N sick narcissist!!
The Priest:
2nd disgusting person that i hate in this novel/manhwa is the priest (one of the og ml from og story). This dude is the HALF-BROTHER of Eris. His mother was a mistress of Eris father. Anyways, this dude wanted to commit incest with Eris because of his obsession with her. It's disgusting. I also hate that like the other terrible characters, he also never received retribution for the harm he caused on Eris. sighs
Jake: (another a**)
He also just as twisted as the rest of the OG male leads from the original story. Just like the other two men, he doesn't know how to accept denial and has no respect for Eris.
Original Female Lead:
The OG heroine is on a neutral side for me. I don't like her and I don't hate her either. Her actions are annoying though and she is hella naive to the point that her "miss who only knows good" attitude rubs me off the wrong way. It's sickening. She gives me the Cinderella-syndrome vibes.
Male lead:
Male Lead is her personal knight she hires. What I like about him is that he respects her boundaries and personal space. He's caring and looks out for her.
Eris and Transmigration FL:
FL personality stayed consistent through out the story, which was a good thing because they usually flip flop in these type of genres. But there was one flaw I hated about plot and it is how the soul switching was handled by the author. FL dies in the world she was brought in and her soul eventually travels back to her OG world. Although the soul switching was done better in this story than some others I've read, it always leaves a distasteful after math for the author to just throw away Eris body and og soul away like that. Their was really no one who truly mourned for her. I just felt empathy and pity for her. She was really just used up like that as a stepping stone for the plot. That's probably why I sometimes dislike soul swapping back and fourth stories because all of these authors just really be doing the OG body and soul dirty. I think the only soul switching that was done right without me feeling irritated for the soul swapping is from a chinese novel called " Refuse to be a Supporting Character" (completely translated and has official translations on kindle and other ePUB services).
Another thing I was not satisfied or disliked, which was the whole "god" controlling people plot. Although it may seem like these gods got retribution, it didn't feel like it at all. They were still controlling innocent lives to make a play for their entertainment. This is prob why I prefer stories where the MC defies "heaven" and "gods" and these people who call themselves god end up getting brought down by the MC from there pedestal. sighs Seems only Xianxia and Xuanhuan stories do better at plots like that.
Ending is HEA. It was on okay read, not the best though.
