I hate, hate, hate this stupid trope. You also remember your previous life. And you're sitting here, asking her what she thinks happened after she died? She DIED. She wouldn't know. And then you proceed to BLAME HER for not knowing anything. This is BS. He has full ability to tell her what happened but instead plays the stupid game of, "The future is changing and it's all your fault!"

Also, also. If you want a better outcome for the future, take an active effort. Don't give me this BS of, "Oh they made a promise not to get involved with other houses!" THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE??? LEAVE. If you're not going to interfere, don't make any effort at all.

Evergreen is 1000% at fault for anything that happens in the future. Unless that stupid god Vincente or whatever his name is sealed his mouth shut himself, he has zero excuses. He's just making a huge mess of things. Fuck him. I officially hate this character now and nothing can redeem him.

I'm sorry but this whole chapter took me out of enjoying the series. It was TOO "empowering women" without basis. Don't get me wrong, I love empowered women but it has to make sense. Acting like her father won't hunt her down and drag her back after she's "independent" is insane. There's no change to the laws or how the kingdom has been run for likely hundred of years now. Her doing art in private doesn't change anything. She's just doing it in a dangerous setting now, instead of the safety of her home (near that lake, on her father's property). She's still hiding it, she isn't independent, and her father still opposes it.

Then you're telling me that she knowingly is in this dangerous area and sends away the mercenaries SHE hired? For what reason? Makes zero sense. And when they run into robbers, her bright idea is to bite the guy? In a normal scenario, instead of "getting away" that would just escalate the situation and then they'd BOTH be in danger. Why didn't the other guys grab her now that she was closer? Again, doesn't make sense.

The whole chapter annoyed me. I was able to turn off my brain for most of this story but not this chapter.

I hate, hate, hate it when they do stupid tropes like this. "She's never painted a day in her life, never had any experience with any art medium, and has never been taught any techniques. She's a genius!"

That's not how art works. At all. Some might have a better beginning talent than others but it takes time to get to the point where you're recognized for your talent. It takes practice. It takes repetition. You have to practice again and again to get that good. It's the same with music, the same with cooking. You might do a good job on your first try but that doesn't mean you're immediately ready to join competition. It's fine if they want to do a girl learning new things or whatever. I'm fine with her being better than average at art. My issue is that it's stupid to say that someone who never picked up a paint brush spotless compete against people who have been nurturing this talent their whole life. That's disrespectful to the people who actually put in the effort to learn and that's harmful to the amateur.

Both a friend and I were in a city competition in elementary school. We both did fairly well. I won 2nd place. They won 3rd. But we were judged against our peers. We were both only in the 3rd grade. That competition went all the way up to professionals. If they're going to do a competition, they should take that kind of thing into consideration, different levels, but they never do. It's just irritating.

This is for myself if I ever come back here again. Got to chapter 4 and the pacing isn't for me. The concept was interesting but the pacing feels both fast and slow, as well as forced somehow. I can't put it into words but the pacing of the story just feels completely off to me.

Rereading chapter 3 with the context of chapter 10 makes that scene hit harder. Her family remembers her first life too. They remember both their and her pain, her death. And her father was sent back to right after she was born.

So rereading chapter 3, where she asks him if he hated her (in regards to her past life, when she had scars) and him not seeming to understand but saying he just needs to love her more from now on... But if you read carefully, he says "it's painful being misunderstood as someone who hates you" and knowing he remembers their first life, he's secretly addressing what happened that time around. He was drowning in guilt and grief and wasn't able to take care of himself, much less his hurt and grieving daughter. He sent her away, hoping she would have a better life, only to see her again after she died. And to know that the entire time, his beloved baby thought he hated her but he can't address that, because then he'll only be reopening painful wounds.

I like it. Is the story amazing so far? No. But I love subtle things done like that. I noticed it the first time I read chapter 3, which is why I immediately thought to reread it after chapter 10. I love stories like this.

I can already tell that I'll just be annoyed if I keep reading past this chapter. I don't need answers to everything, some imagination is fine for me. I'll leave it at that and move on.

Thought I could put up with it but I can't. I was willing to overlook an adult being reborn as a baby. Not my favorite type of trope but I can look past it. But I hate stupid tropes of "this person is now a baby but can survive being nearly killed." Nope. Nah. Yes, babies are more flexible but they're not harder to kill than an average adult. Especially a newborn? That is when they're most fragile. The flipping her over was interesting but an actual assassin would have put light pressure on her back, until she stopped struggling as much. Just enough so that all sound is muffled. Then, after she's weak or passed out, let gravity handle the rest. No baby is going to be able to lift themselves up enough to help themselves breathe. I went a couple of chapters more but it was still just as frustrating. Don't bother reading more, you won't enjoy this, future me.

Candell or whatever his name is. Nah. I would never forgive him. None of them ever, EVER set up proper boundaries with her. THEY crossed the line first. THEY brought her to the spirit world first. Sure, they gave her some "warnings" if you could call it that but it was never made clear WHY to her. They knew she was from a completely different world and didn't know how this one worked when it came to spirits. They knew and explained nothing in regards to themselves. The only thing they explained was that she didn't create this world, only "read" about it. All they asked in exchange was for her to tell her about what she read.

There was never ANY explanation for why she shouldn't call them. The minute he took my eyesight, there would be no reconciliation on my part. I would wish a curse on the household he serves, so that they never know peace. She called him because she was ABOUT TO DIE and he was offended that she didn't know better than to ask for help? Nope. A curse on his household and I would never speak or acknowledge a spirit again. I wouldn't have anything to do with the ML, either, specifically noting it was BECAUSE of the spirits. And I would leave that kingdom immediately, so that this could never be repaired.

I don't forgive the Spirit King or whatever for "making it better" because that boundary was NEVER ESTABLISHED before. It's treated like a boon but she had no way of knowing that and just because she's nice, it's hand waved. Nah. I'm spiteful af. I hadn't liked the spirits in the story so far but chapter 112 made me actively hate them. I can't think of any way the story can make me enjoy them as characters again.

Leaving this here in hopes some kind soul will notify me when this is finally fixed. I can't read this as is.

So in chapters 8 or 9, he gets kidnapped, and tells her it's because he went to the festival with her brother. He was given a cookie and made him pass out. He then fights for his life for a chapter.

Then, in chapter 11, they go around the festival together. What is the first fucking food she gives him? A fucking COOKIE. B*TCH ARE YOU DUMB??? It's such a minor thing but it took me completely out of the story. I'm not saying he should be traumatized forever or can never have cookies again but the first thing you give him is the exact thing he was dr*gged with??? Make it make sense.
