somnia's manga / #Time travel(8)

So far it's pretty good, just the sometimes wonky translated chapters can be hella confusing and throw me off tbh. It's also kinda annoying how FL and ML have to constantly tell each other and the readers that they're hot shit. I mean, they are, but I feel like a lot of content is wasted on just them talking away and playing useless mindgames while actual stuff could be happening. Also also: Personally, the title is kinda- how to say... -badly worded? At least I thought it's gonna center around FL pretending to be mad (and dunking on people with that or whatever), like the title says obviously, but as of now it seems to be more so just a single situation within a small time frame of the story which is basically entirely unrelated to the plot and will only minimally, if not even, impact the future events. Since this is only the beginning, later chapters might iron that out but as of now- that's my take on the whole shabam.

MC is a mysterious woman with the ability to tell lies and thruths apart. Additionally good luck seems to pile onto her like crazy before something bad is going to happen soon, which is an interesting mechanic. Anyway, MC is a professional gambler who traveled around and made a name for herself sweeping casinos. One day, she rescues a boy from trouble and takes him home. They become close, bond and go gambling together. But after her ring, which she recieved from a dummy mage, flares up, she ends up 10 years in the future without the kid.. or even her house. So, the thing with the whole gambling pov is that you get a thrill because of the uncertainty of whether the MC will win or not - the higher the stakes the higher the enjoyment for those reading - but this MC wins almost every time, and when she doesn't? It's on purpose or just doesn't affect her much. If she doesn't care, why would you? The story itself is kinda cliche. Stuff is constantly happening (mainly gambling, people cheating while gambling, just bad ppl getting in the way or fluff scenes with male main leads), but the thing that keeps you reading takes its sweet sweet time. The thing I am refering to is MC's dumba** realizing that the kid she took in before her time skip is mortal, able to age, and looks literally the same as the duke dude who's getting close to her now. The story lost its focus somwhere within the whole cruise ship "arc". It's clear that finding him is important to MC and she thinks about this lost chance more than a few times, but the fact that the author themselves avoids it so much to get more chapters out of it, just makes the plot TIRING and EMPTY in the end. I skipped right from FL's first visit to the Duke's (btw her outfit in that chapter is horrid, just to add extra salt) to like chapter 50-something. That's like 30+ chapters and she still has no clue. I'm dropping this.
