This was a slow starter for me. I almost dropped around chapter 30 due to pacing/vibes, but I'm SO glad I persevered... it is absolutely worth it!!! This isekai is definitely above average imo.
My favorite thing about this series is how it handles all the MLs:
We get a ML who isn't "high spec" or privileged in anyway. He's considered plain-looking, and he doesn't have wealth, status, fame, or power of any sort. Nonetheless, he easily has us swooning because his devotion and cuteness are just *chef's kiss*
It is nearly impossible to find a romance manhwa where the ML is "normal,” like as if creators worry a character won’t be attractive to readers unless they have extraordinary beauty, wealth, status, fame, and/or power. But sometimes I just want a love story with a normal dude!!!
For the main story, the ML often feels undeveloped as a character because he primarily serves as a foil to the toxic 2MLs. However, the side stories fleshed him out enough for me to be satisfied.
The privileged and powerful 2MLs are realistically problematic, and our MC is a champ for ruthlessly calling them out for bs that other romance heroines would've pandered to.
Although I think more world-building would've been nice, I was impressed with how this series explained the causality behind its supernatural phenomenon. Most isekai romances seem to gloss over these details.
I also loved the OP witches and all the exposition around them. Their badass sisterhood is gold, and I wish there was a spin-off centered on them.
This story is probably too angsty for me to reread, but I am REALLY glad that I read it. I rarely write review comments like this, but I really felt the need to reflect on this series, and to urge others to persevere with it, too. It's a refreshingly unique story that hits on a different level.
