ended quickly

by Winter.Rose928

Rating: N/A

After all that plot and dragging and their relationship 'developing' (slowly) it ended pretty quickly. The ML was not in most of the final battle and it ended with very little fluff or talk between ML and FL: just seeing their wedding. I would have liked more relationship between them

artwork is aggressively average

This story doesn't go anywhere and that's not bad if you're into slow romances but it is VERY detrimental when the artwork is just as average as the plot.

The male lead is too good for this plot

by catwoman1994

Rating: N/A

The female lead has been in denial for Almost 60 chapters. When you finally feel like she's starting to grow some brain cells she shuts down with hermontage of I don't belong here and I don't really wanna be here. Even though the male lead has the patience of a Saint and treats her like a goddess.

Top 3 dumbest FL I've ever read about in a manga [Dropped at chapter 27]

by Empyreen
3 years ago

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

I cannot stress enough how infuriating it feels like to have to put up with the FL being a 30 IQ chimp. This brainless, useless, dopey dog eyed, dim-witted mouth breather is living her third life and can't puzzle together any cohesive solutions, in fact she straight up doesn't even get to ask herself the right questions. The writing is incredibly predictable for the reader yet the many obvious things moving the plot in the manhwa keep flying over the FL head and at times even the ML & supporting cast.

I don't understand why the author subjects his readers to this garbage. It doesn't take an artist or a critic of any sort to understand that this is just awful.

needs a better fl

by Snoopy219

Rating: N/A

Started off cute but turned into a frustrating story where fl refuses to deviate from original novel plot. Fl acts way too childish for someone who has lived 2 lives previously.
However I do like the ml and the cousins, it’s just not that fun to read anymore because fl makes the story frustrating

Pretty good!

by Shygirlz

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

The art is nice, but where this manga really shines is the plot! It’s a plot I haven’t encountered yet in the otome isekai genre (not to say it’s totally unique, but also not common). What was great for me was slowly realizing what happened, before the story then revealed what happened in a neat way that all made sense.

I would’ve rated it higher but feel like the pacing was a bit off, and overall the storytelling could’ve been executed smoother and more in-depth. Also, it’s another case where despite how the FL is fully an adult, she pretty much just acts like a child once she’s in the body of one.

There are plenty of cute and funny moments and I’ve enjoyed reading this so far.
