I am all for ‘naive’ MC etc - I really do not mind most of the time, but, and I do not like to say this… she is stupid.
Full-stop. And stupid in a bad way.
Like to say one - you know to need to steer away suspicion from the villain, who is clever and you know that he wants you for your ‘panacea blood’ (or whatever it is lol).
So what do you do? You are back second life you ask him directly what ‘panacea blood’ is to get some clues. And afterward, when surprised you did not get any clues, you think ‘oh, maybe it was not a good idea to ask him that’… Like…what? Are you for real?
My IQ lowered just by reading the few chapters I have read honestly.
Spoiler ahead - my Opinion
It is not a perfect story by any means, several comments have already mentioned some of its weaknesses.
I personally ‘enjoyed’ the story and will re-read potentially to pass time.
Apart form the ‘kill them all immediately’ argument, I actually liked the pace of the story and the MC/ML dynamic (we have not stayed frustrated for thousands of chapters ‘I love him, but I can’t, but I love him etc), which I appreciated as I felt everything moved more ‘realistically’ in their relationship than other stories. I also like the ‘realistic’ approach of people able to move on from past relationships/love eventually, and no ‘2nd ML’ who remain single and unhappy for the rest of their life dying on the FML.
My pet peeve that honestly really annoyed me and that is not mentioned in other comments as far as I can see: I may have misunderstood idk, but what do you mean your ‘friend’ for what I seem to understand YEARS, or anyway for a long time, did not send any of your letters replies to your lover, causing a major important misunderstanding…. and there is no real confrontation with the friend, the misunderstand is cleared in a couple of chapters between MC/ML in a simplistic way, and everyone happy like what happened was not something serious… like eh?
And then the author makes that friend ‘fall in love’ with FML a second later, the second he sees her.
… not gonna lie I was about to clock out there on the story….
All in all, depending if you can accept its weaknesses, this can be an engaging 7/10 read.
