WOW. I knew this was good but damn I binged the hell out of it and I will be buying the books. Incredible concept, phenomenal story telling, and truly stunning art. Does it also punch me in the heart on the regular, yeah, the mangaka's treatment of all the issues they're forced to face, the complexity of witch life, the burdens they hold in maintaining the balance. SO FREAKING GOOD ALL OF IT. A+ character development and plot work, this has got to be one of the best I've read in a longgggg ass time. This needs it's flowers in a big big way.

Dear Author did you at least even kiss the brick before you threw it at us? No because this is one of the best written stories I've read in a minute, with so much character complexity and development. But holllllyyyy it emotionally tough to read there is so much trauma and hurt, but I also finished it in one setting. Read at your own risk ya'll.

TRIGGER WARNING, please know that the majority of this story is set in a war zone and war times. It comes with a lot of heavy themes, including suicide.

I need this story to get its flowers because holyyyy it is written so well! It's so fcking refreshing to have characters with depth and personality, and not a superficial connection. We actually have concrete reasons for their relationship development, and the art is so expressive too! I also love the spirit angle too, it stops it from feeling like every other isekai. And a minor thing that I appreciate, is a love 'triangle' that doesn't just reduce the 2nd ML into being ONLY a plot point for the ML to show his love/jealousy! Practically unheard of! Like yes that's part of it but it also it's written to give us context on OG Hayley, helps us put the pieces together of who she was, and gives depth to our 2nd ML.

Ugh I love this story gimme 100 more. TLDR; read this one!

I know she got plot armour protection, and previous life info, but lord Tia kicks ass with style and we actually get to see her fight against an excellent villain, with an actual braincell, not just cheap wins. THIS STORY IS PEAK AND I WILL CRY WHEN ITS DONE

Chat is it safe to read? Like is the sister out of the picture or are we still dealing with her being a soul sucking demon? I want to leave this to marinate till it's just the FL and ML navigating their relationship, no annoying sister bs, because I get too angry looool

I remember reading this back in 2021 and loving it. But it got to a point where I wanted to wait for the officials to read it. 5 years later, I finally binge it.

Starts so well, all the bits that I love, the loving sister dynamic, the premise to save her sister from marrying a weirdo, the beautiful art, the OTT fashion and matching sibling sets, the heartfelt writing of the FL's emotions trying to navigate it all, the silly teasing that made me actually laugh. Mind you there were plot holes, and the fact that most of the characters were plot devices but I was hopeful we'd get some their character development.

And then the time skip. I don't know if they got told to wrap it up faster or whatever.

BUT THE ENTIRE REST OF IT AFTER THEY AGED UP GARBAGE FUCKING DUMPSTER FIRE. The supposed adult has somehow regressed her mind, she harem-ed the shit out of her friends, all of them including Josh are just accessories to uplift her. The FL becomes such a pick-me who lives in her head barely considering any one else (whilst believing she is thinking so much of the boys), and the villain and war just were thoughtlessly tacked on for plot development. The villain is just obsessed with her because? The war shes in, is somehow being sorted by the boys. She's number one in her school and yet dense as.

Anything that felt like a remotely interesting concept to explore - her parents dying the complexity in having abusive parents and being separated from them and as a transmigrator into that body another layer of nuance, or the previous Lillianne how she felt not being the soul that would make her sister happiest, but some other random person to be her sister not a fully external other person like hello super interesting concept to explore, but nah we have a chapter where we dream about her and chat about it all and somehow we're all chill and fine with it. Like girl I'd be a damn vengeful spirit.

Just such a good start and then no delivery. Like wtf the whole bit about to avoid seeing her sister for ages - when her sister is supposed to be so kind, loving and sensitive to her and she just lets that shit be? Im so annoyed that all got basically swept under the rug And just a pet peeve of mine neither her sister nor the FL had any real gal pals, the only one we see for the FL is one who forces her friendship onto the FL, and has no depth and is so clearly a plot tool.

This one truly disappointed me. I was pulling my teeth to finish this from like chap 90 onwards. I just wanted to see if it could land this plane crash but it just continued burning into a crisp.

anyways don't know if anyone else agrees, but my TLDR: is dont read this one, we have higher standards in 2026.

~~ That's my girl, that's my girl, that's my girlllll ~~

Ya'll the team behind this, chef's kiss, the writing impeccable, the art style stunning, my emotions - all over the place. But I actually can't take it anymore I gotta read the novel, someone, I beg pls link me

We finally get to the point where Olive finds out, and somehow by the end of the same chapter Luddy is getting roped into more absolute garbage. LIKE PLS can we get even one chapter of reprieve for this sweet boy??? Let the garbage be the next chapter

Yeah I'll say it, this is one of the best I've ever read. Do I cry like every chapter, maybe, who's counting? If you read this get ready to get your feelings hurt, but it's worth it.
