Reading List

10/10 Season 2 is the best season and Season 3 has an immense pay off in the middle. My only gripe was the transition from flashbacks to the present. It's kind of wonky? The MC started changing too quickly like the nickname or how easily he forgave ML for treating him differently. His reaction to the Cardinal's change is also delayed, only becoming suspicious after the second kiss like c'mon. The denial is too much men. Everything's great after MC remembers some stuff

Contrary to mixed opinions on this manhwa, I think it's a 4.5/5☆. My only gripe is the unnecessary redundancy of spoken information as if the story had not already shown the answer. Plus, there are more pressing questions that the story doesn't want to answer clearly. As of now, everything else is good. I love how strong, competent and confident the MC is despite forgetting her own well-being. Hence why the ML being her strongest ally, always stood as her love and pillar to everythin

4.2/5☆. My biggest takeaway is that women here can challenge each other in a duel to defend one's honor. Most historical rofan manhwas have champions or knights to do that. It's kinda refreshing to read. My only gripe though is how convenient everything plays out for the FL despite making different choices in her second life. The only thing that's keeping her from failing is the constant involvement of the ML. Other than that, everything is solid and connected in some way.

♤ - I'll make a future review once I'm done rereading this again. I remember that the story is good.

10/10 I cried while binging this manhwa. It's funny and heartbreaking. ML is burnt out, an overachiever and 2nd at best. FL is simple, consistent and always 1st at her best. They went on from being rivals to partners to lovers. They were once interested in each other but the competition broke that possibility. Fast forward to the present, they struggle with power imbalance and classism. My only gripe is the ML's lack of realism and my biggest takeaway is his love for the FL.

5/5☆ I rarely give high ratings, especially out of five. This was a refreshing read, not unheard of but realistic. All the characters are likeable despite having different archetypes. Every single ML could easily be paired with the FL based on dynamic and chemistry. It's hard to root for only one person but I do feel like Seungbin has the most edge out of everyone. I love the FL and understand her struggles, I just hope she gives herself a break to experience something new for once.

10/10 Absolute Cinema. It's short, cute and wholesome. It's also a slow burn and the updates are not that frequent. I suggest waiting for it to be finished before binging. If you want to binge it again, it's worth it.
