— immediately after we are introduced to remilia she starts right away into her journey to provide proper revenge to emi, the one who took over remilia's body, and to provide emi with a happy life.
- i absolutely recommend reading this if you enjoy a slow revenge! seeing remilia win again and again is way more entertaining then you'd imagine, her devotion to emi is also very bittersweet.
— despite facing discrimination for not only her gender but also her origin, asha sticks strong to her devotion to her father and the dream of restoring her home to it's new glory.
- i absolutely love asha and her determination, she's smart, strong and beautiful. i also like how the other female characters aren't one dimensional and actually have their own struggles with their sexist society. the ml starts off very annoying but he does genuinely get better.
— kim yi-young has every right to want to quit after dying 58 times for a reward she doesn't even receive, even when stuck in a crummy romance novel she percivers with the goal of finally returning home.
- i feel bad for fl she went through so much just to start at the very beginning again, i like how she genuinely considers the feelings of the original bodys owner as well, and how she tackles everything head on.
— because of her horrible past life aristine decides that with her new ability to see the future she will finally live life to the fullest and the richest, even if that means she has to fight against a political power struggle and an arranged marriage, all in hope of attaining peace.
- fl is super intelligent but struggles with social cues, which leads to many misunderstandings. it takes a few chapters for it to be revealed that she remembers a previous life. her and ml are very cute!
— after waking up in the body of a villainess character eris decides she will do and go through whatever it takes to return home, even if that means taking her own life in the process.
- one of my favorite takes on the villainess trope, the og fl is naive but genuinely kind. fuck all the male side characters though, they are horrible people. love her and the ml, the ending is very rewarding!
— finding herself in the story of all her favorite characters viola decides she will find a way to tame her rapid family and finally have the familial love she's always wanted, even if that means pretending to be a blood thirsty manipulator.
- her situation is funny but fl is genuinely very smart and headstrong despite being surrounded by real pyschos. the fathers redemption is meh and I can't seem to like him at all even if they give him a sob story.
— after sacrificing everything in her first life only to be betrayed by that who she gave up everything for, ariadne decides to use her future knowledge to her advantage and get revenge on her twisted family.
- I can't wrap my head around people supporting the red haired guy! I also feel bad for the blonde male lead but he's a big boy he can handle it.
— olivia raised in a world of devils is tested upon reaching a certain age by the demon who taught her everything, although not knowing when she will find zed she decides to fight her way to him.
- olivia's obliviousness to the human world is so funny, i love seeing small girls who are super op and trust me she's op. her relationships with others is interesting and I hope they develop more.
— tired of the pain and trauma from her previous lives, ines promises to herself that this life will be different, that she will be selfish and protect her needs even if nothing is going the way she expected.
- poor ines, she really just deserves so much better. you'll probably dislike the ml at the beginning but trust it gets better the more the story continues.
— following the trauma of her first life leoni decides to dedicate her second life for revenge against her father and those who hurt her and her mother.
- fl is so brutal it was probably the first time I was hoping a female lead would be more forgiving. her relationship with ml is tragic and there's a lot of misunderstandings. her father is going to get so much karma that I almost feel bad for him (not).
