I really enjoy the female lead and their portrayal of her trauma and mental disabilities. It's very nuanced for a manhwa and they treat it seriously, except the male lead of course. After reading another comment I started to really notice how the male lead is extremely... Generic, like yes you can sort of ignore how perverted and kind of obnoxious he comes off as because the female lead is just that amazing and intriguing to read. But it just makes any possible storyline after he's gotten his cake from her seem... Dangerously stupid and infuriating, as if the author wanted to make a psychological slow burn but the editor said "This is a shoujo manhwa. Hurry up and feed them their slop or else.".
And so when she's deemed "healthy" which will be when she's able to hold the male lead's hand they'll just turn her story into cheap poorly written drama. Anyways, if you can pretend the male lead is an NPC she's forced to interact with then the story is good
I just feel so bad for her, like everyone is treating her terribly, while also dismissing her and even the observers really didn't care enough to give her a real hint. I seriously wish they'd just let her beat up everyone involved at this point. And also the loop is definitely going to end because of something dumb like her husband expresses his honest feelings towards her. But seriously I want her to just grab something heavy and smack everyone with it except Serenia.
Really enjoying the story so far despite it only having a few chapters out, but honestly I'm baffled that they have most of the characters act as if business terms or even basic business ideas are these crazy foreign modern concepts... Like why is the ML unaware of the idea of preparing for unexpected mishaps...
The story's conflict feels kind of all over the place to me. FL dies constantly like in most time loop stories, but her deaths don't have much impact to me. Also her relationship with the ML feels way too underbaked for them to be written so... Affectionate with one another. It feels like the author should've stuck to one point of conflict that results in her death. The story isn't boring though, since the amount of random secrets that get revealed are interesting... I guess.
In recent chapters the male lead's decisions are so dumb to me, like he spent so long trying to get the FL back. Without really looking into his actions that would cause her to suddenly pull away. And then... Like a few months after their wedding he immediately agrees to a plan to go along with the whims of the obviously dangerous and coniving, and murderous princess.
To me he falls under the annoying type of male lead that's usually in female main character romance manga. Where they want to have their cake and eat it too. Like no, he hasn't given the FL any reason WHY she should trust him above all else other than that he said he loved her. And is completely fine prancing around looking affectionate with a princess at his wife's workplace while knowing his wife was anxious and insecure about their relationship enough to break up before. So it's going to be annoying when he inevitably breaks down crying when she confronts him or grows distant.
Don't take this rant too seriously seeing him do the same thing he did in the last timeline just made me groan.











This set up reminds me of Yumeiro Patissiere, so I looked the Manga up and it seems like this is based on an ONA. It's very cute so far and reads exactly like an old school artistic school shoujo. Though I wonder if the Manga will add more details than the ONA...
