I really wanted to like this story because MC is pretty cool but everyone else is just so scummy. Her father and brothers neglected, used, and discarded the OG Camilla and now suddenly love her because she did a few nice things?? Slimy, fickle scumbags. I feel pity and disgust that she’s being taken in by their shallow and fickle love since she’s never known any familial love at all. Sweetheart, it is not supposed to be like this. MC herself already told us about Petro’s scumminess so I won’t elaborate further. ‘Donna’ raises blood pressure at the complete lack of genuine remorse and just dismissiveness for all the suffering she’s caused to both Camilla and Sia. Also, all the side-characters like the red-haired duke who treated Camilla and Ravi with disdain for being commoners and now also change their minds at the drop of a hat and accept them despite their lowliness can go to hell.

The ghosts can also be pushy and annoying and also are often brainless plot devices rather than realistic as the people they were meant to be. Like in that scene where MC is telling the butler and past family head why she’s faking prophetic dreams and has to hold their hand and explain the whole thing as if it isn’t such as easy deduction that these two supposedly intelligent people should’ve been able to make.

It definitely feels like the MC is the only character who has any consistent characterization/feels like a real person. Everyone else (except maybe the black-haired love interest) feel like foils and plot devices in the world that revolves around her.

It’s kind of ridiculous when they just slap ‘30 years old’ onto the female leads as a way to be like ‘oh, she has life experience, how cool!’ when the FL’s still have the personalities of teenage girls and of course are virgins despite their supposed age because of course female leads must be ‘pure’
