Dropped at Ch60

by mrs_choco

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

I tried to finish this but no, I just can't.
The plot is boring, evil protagonists are sent in at random, this is so confusing. The flow is uneven and poorly set up.
Characterisation is very poor, FL is too stupid to be likable. Dialogues are very boring, characters speak a lot, but nothing interesting comes out of their mouth!
The 1st season was 'meh' but readable but the 2nd season has too many drawbacks to be enjoyable.

Dropped (at chapter 50)

by Featherflight

Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

I really enjoyed the premise of not only the protagonist being a regressor, but

the male lead as well. I enjoyed that they weren't both overpowered or perfect and actually struggled with the challenges they had to face. That being said, there were frustrating moments in which I hoped the two of them would have a little bit of spine.

At first, I wasn't a fan of the male lead, but after a few chapters that explained the situation, I understood his position and regrets, and I also understood that the female lead wasn't entirely innocent either.

She pushed a marriage he didn't want, and because her father is a POS, he of course took advantage of the situation to manipulate both the male lead and her, unbeknownst to our protagonist. A few chapters before I dropped, I was really hopeful that he and the female lead's relationship was getting better, considering how he had wholeheartedly devoted himself to her and their son, and she saw that devotion. I was too optimistic.

After the nonsensical choice of the author, there's a damn three year timeskip for no reason but to establish how the female lead is an independent woman who is capable and doesn't need the male lead. No one said she did?! Can't you show her being badass and capable without making her do such a nonsensical, ill-timed decision?!

They just went through an assassination attempt and she thinks divorcing will be safe?! If she and her son aren't safe while being the duchess and the heir, will they be safe if she's a viscountess?! MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

Immediately after the timeskip, it's clear her poor son is being left alone because she is just too busy to spend time with him... So her smart idea was to not only

take the boy away from a loving, caring and devoted father who would do ANYTHING for them, but to leave him alone playing with elemental spirits and being watched by maids?! HOW IS THAT BETTER?!

So, yeah. I mostly dropped this because of the developments after chapter 40, including the dumb timeskip and the female lead's petty and ridiculous decision

to divorce the male lead after he apologized and confessed, after he swore he would protect both her and their son with his life, after she SAW him ready to die for them .

TLDR; I rarely drop anything, because I can enjoy a trashy story, but this is the wrong kind of trashy to me. The female lead completely went from a traumatized woman trying to be the best mother she can while navigating her grief and resentment for the man she believed was the reason for her suffering, to a petty dumbass who would risk her child's safety just because she can get one up on the male lead.

The divorce was too much for me, especially when it's shown her poor son rarely sees her because she's too busy proving she's a girlboss to spend time with him. Isn't that all she wanted? To be in his life and see him grow up? Oh, but your absence as a mother is fine if you're the one who decides not to be there, sure

Poor storytelling

by Ah_Cat

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

The art is good and the premise is generally fine. I especially like that both of the leads

came back in time and remember that fact.

What I don't like is that the storytelling is really bad. It's not only full of plot holes, inconsistent characters (the king is the worst in that aspect, his attitude changes in favour of the plot way too much) but the pace, characters emotion visualisation and their thoughts are written very flat. I finished the whole thing cause I was sick and I had nothing better to do and the world premise seemed nice but honestly, it's not really worth the time. It's not very entertaining, which is sad because I think the general concept was really interesting.

And I've read the licensed translation.

Where's holy water when you need it?

The FL is incredibly unlikeable and the uneven portrayal of mental illness is gross AF. Which, I should be used to by now but...nah, I can't. This involves children. I don't like them myself but I sure as Hell don't go out of my way to hurt them or find ways to hurt them through others.

She's so unstable I'm shocked the ML allowed her to become pregnant in the first place.

It’s okay

So far I’ve read up to ch59. The middle of season 1 gets a little slow paced but by the end of the season the story picks up it’s pace again. I’m liking season 2 so far I just hope the author continues with this better pacing

I really like fl in this manhwa post regression since she’s really independent but knows when to depend on people around her.
The son is really cute and the ml is getting much better.

Update : yh guys ignore everything I said earlier this becomes a snooze fest

It feels like a lot of it is out of order or like parts of the story is missing and this makes it hard to enjoy.

Mediocre

by PZcolo

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

The story is a mess, in particular, the first 15 or so chapters are terribly confusing, things are poorly explained if explained at all, it often jumps from one even to another without connecting them and sometimes contradicts itself, thou this might be because of the translation, which is pretty bad to be honest, there are two groups doing it and one has lots of mistakes (TSS) and the other is worse (Fleur).

It's strong suits might be the cute parts with the spirits, but I'm not a sucker for cuteness, so no part was particularly good for me, maybe if the author explains all the loose ends... Even the art is uneven, at times good at times somewhat lacking.

There are other better and very similar stories out there so it's hard to recommend this.

The storytelling is lacking. It is not engaging at all and I have a really hard time understanding what is going on. The characters, their actions, the timelines, the powers... everything is just so confusing.
14 chapters have been scanlated for now, and even if it’s a bit early to make a judgment I don’t think I will pick this up again.
