Okay so firsts things firsts this is definitely a fauxest story (faux-incest), so if you're not comfortable with that, or can't really understand the mental gymnastics I'm about to explain to you, I don't blame you. I'm still processing.
Spoilers ahead
So um.. we're not going to get a close on Agatha(? Whatever her name was) just that, oh, she doesn't remember, I guess that's it. But like Ari going back to her original world was so anticlimactic. Like what WAS that? The dimensional Hod could just be summoned?? And just brought her back??? I mean great, but hello??? Anyway. The mental gymnastics is crazy. This is NOT a reverse harem because Lydia does not have any feelings for anyone but the duke. Yes, the duke is her "brother" she's adopted, so I'm not sure if there's a word for that sort of relationship. Sir davery liked Lydia, which I didn't actually expect, though I'm not surprised (?) but I feel like doing that to sir davery is pretty cruel. Actually, really cruel. It's clear this was his found family, and him liking Lydia just seems to be a random "plot twist :P" by author-nim, which is like um.. okay so um.. right anyway. I think we should skip past that. I think Sir Davery deserved so much better. It's weird. Also like.. the story was there and then not really there at the end? Not really any angst prominent enough for me to remember. I'm glad Ari got to go back, and how it was confirmed (even if it didn't really matter bc she was insta returned) that only her soul came, and not her body, so she really didn't die. She was 15/16, right? good for her to live her life again. I wonder what original Lydia was getting up to.
The whole crown prince thing was soooo just like thrown in. Such a sweet potato like??? I couldn't even consider him a second male lead because really there wasn't any real chemistry or connection that didn't feel shallow because of the cloth of bewitchment when they first met. Was any of his feeling truly sincere, or was he just feeling the after effects of the cloth. It's hard to say.
Anyway this gets a 4.2/5 for me. Not A tier, due to the whole fauxcest thing, but still a decent read. I actually dropped this multiple times before finally deciding to read the whole thing, and I'm not really disappointed, but it is definitely slop worth, so SHOUJO SLOP GIRL APPROVED! (With limitations)
