Honestly, Reina shouldn't have been too greedy otherwise she wouldn't have ended up as the villainess in this story. Wanting to be adopted by a good family, wanting wealth, and power is fine, but Reina got too greedy (wanting to be loved by everyone!!) and it ultimately is leading toward her downfall. More importantly, if she had truly loved Ethel and wanted to be a true family with her, she shouldn't have allowed her brother to treat his wife like air. Also, if she had just let Ethel and the mine go after the divorce her schemes would have never been discovered. Reina had plenty of other ways to make money due her regression -- not letting the mine go is what caused Ethel to dig deeper into her obsession with it and with her.
I like the FL, Ethel, as she is feisty and not afraid to show her mind (quick witted) or say what is on her mind. She's not another pretty face in an iskei novel bent on following the plot. Her biggest downfall is she's trapped in this novel with an abysmal plot. Aside from the divorce and the entrapment of Elliott the rest of this story is boring, predictable, and rehashable mid-boss moments leading up the final boss.
As for the ML -- in the beginning he seemed like his wicked villain persona, but as the story progressed he began to appear just as weak as FL's ex-husband. No wickedness at all. He uses his brain somewhat but I can't get behind his diluted new self.
