I really don't like this.

Honestly this annoys me so much. The side characters are really rubbing me the wrong way. The whole family is trash. Honestly it's so extreme. The treatment seems far too extreme just so we pity the main character. It's really obvious they made the characters so stupid and rude just to make FL shine more. And FL is genuinely really rude. I get the whole wanting to discipline people or putting them in their place but right now it's really overboard and aggressive. I sorta understand her motives though.

    Shes just super tired of reliving the same life for like the 8th time(idk) You would be too if it kept happening no matter how much you change. Shes jot diciplining them, shes more like getting rid of any further nuisance.

    Yeah I get that but again, I've read plenty manwhas where fls have reincarnated or time traveled and none of them act like this. The siblings act like trash and have absolutely no sense of any basic mortality. The author didn't give them common sense just so the FL looks extremely wise and sophisticated. If they perhaps made the other characters more appealing or smart I feel like it would bring a more natural light to fl instead of her enemies being super stupid. It's sorta like the Author forces us to side with FL due to the stupidity of the other characters. And the FL herself gets aggressive or edgy over every thing. She is constantly so tense. I understand it's to make the plot seem as realistic as possible but for me it just draws me away from her more and makes the whole story seem so tense and awkward. She is always on edge and ready to snap constantly which isn't enjoyable for me. I could understand the first few chapters but it doesn't seem to be going away and it's unpleasant if Fl is constantly raging or upset. Having a main character in the state of ready to snap isn't fun and she needs to chill out. I thought she said she wouldn't care anymore but there she is getting worked up over everything. She hasn't thought about escaping the family or anything thus far. She is just sitting there not changing her surroundings. I believe changing her surroundings is better than trying to change every single bad person around you.

    Are we reading the same thing-
    To me the main character is practically dead inside, like nothing seems to affect her anymore. I dont think shes particularly angry, or on the edge of going crazy. More like going eoth the flow of her decisive decisions. She obv has a plan yk
    And she already tried escaping her family, all of her lives are her trying to get rid of them one way or another. And this time around, she just decided to get rid of them by taking away the title.

    For me it just feels as if she is sick of them. Regardless though I still stand by my opinion and I don't like the story.

    Most manhwa's with abusive family's use the route of forgiveness or redemption so it's not surprising this isn't what you're used to. It's not just about acting like trash. These people murdered her, abused her, and neglected her OVER AND OVER. They never considered her feelings but that's just the cherry on the iceberg (yes i said that on purpose leave me be). In her first life her brother pushed her down the stairs and didn't reach out to help. In her second life, she trusted christian and it led to her demise. In her 3rd and 4th life, her father experimented on her (to transfer her powers to her brother) using Margot's blood. The pain became so unbearable that she killed herself. In her 5th life, Axion (ML) saved her but she died bc of some schemes from the Berzet's elders. idk how she died in her 6th so i'm skipping that. In her 7th life she snapped and killed the Innodeans and then killed herself (whilst smiling). She had been so focused on getting revenge that once she got it...it didn't feel that great. It did at first but that feeling quickly faded. She's not trying to change her surrounding. She's not trying to escape her family..i mean why would she. Leaving them without any money or anything isn't going to get her anywhere. She has no money, no friends, and if she leaves she also has no status. What's leaving going to do for her? nothing. She's trying to find a way to die (rn) bc she doesn't want to continue living in this endless loop. Running away isn't going to solve her problems...she's tried that and it didn't work out for her (aka her second and fifth life). It's not that these characters lack common sense bc it's apparent that they have it...but they hate the FL. The step sister isn't dumb nor does she lack common sense. She begins to suck up to the FL as soon as she realizes that the power dynamics have changed. She knew exactly what she was doing before whenever she caused the FL problems. The father hates her bc he blames her for the death of his first wife. That's why he doesn't want anything good for her. The brother harbors the same feelings towards the FL that the father has. It's not that they lack common sense but rather that they're filled with hatred. I've said this before but the reason that the author isn't trying to make them more appealing is bc this story does not focus on forgiveness. Death is the only ending for the villainess is a perfect example. Penelope has an abusive family who murdered her multiple times...but they're made out to be more appealing as the story progresses (with Derrick being the exception). That's because it ended with Penelope forgiving them. It wouldn't make sense to have her forgive shitty people so they were made more appealing. "The way to protect the female lead's older brother" is another example (same author). That manhwa doesn't focus on forgiveness). Roxanne exacts her revenge on her family for what they did to her little brother. However the characters who stood by her side (such as Jeremy) were not included in the revenge. The point is that this isn't the author using them to make the FL better...it's just bc of the direction the story is headed. She's not being aggressive or edgy but she's just numb. This is someone who has killed themselves multiple times and been killed multiple times. She feels numb to everything bc her last life caused her to snap. The way she's acting is 100% normal. It's not "edgy" at all. She's in genuine pain. In this chapter she didn't hesitate to harm herself. She has no sense of self preservation. This isn't "edginess"....this is someone who has been in pain to the point that they feel numb. It's not "fun" bc the main character is someone who is mentally unstable. You can't "chill out" if you're mentally unstable...and let's be real...who wouldn't be unstable if they'd gone through what she has. Mental illness doesn't just go away that quickly. It's fine if you don't like MC's who are mentally unstable but don't blame the author's writing or say that it should go away bc it's "not fun" or they need to "chill out".

    Thanks for the explanation. I was unaware of a lot of those things because I was only about 8 chapters in. I appreciate it. Regardless this story really isn't for me.

    Honestly, I kinda get your point. I also think the author made her family a bit too dumb. They feel like the equivalent of the Dursely family lmao. These guys made her stay in this enviroment for 7 or so lives, making her hope again and again that they'll grow to love her, so they should at least be portrayed to be a bit more calculative and manipulative. Right now they don't even feel like a threat and I'm kinda annoyed waiting for them to jump out of a corner to stab mc in the back somehow- and of course fail at it.
    Gotta say though, we haven't had an insight on all of her past lives yet, who knows what she lived through and what made her into what she is now? Maybe she already tried to run away from it all? If that was the case it's highly likely that she was hunted down by whoever- because in the end she still has these coveted powers- to either be killed or brought back home for whatever purposes.
    And I can't even begin to imagine how I'd turn out after living and dying over and over again. Her being so on-edge and uncaring for her own well-being is pretty reasonable imo. I think of it as the result of the trauma that comes along with being constantly betrayed, hurt and killed by people she trusted. But anyhow, I feel like her attitude will lighten up more in the future.

    See this is what I mean! Her family is supposed to the source of all this trauma and pain for her but they all seem incredibly stupid. The sister seems like a whiny little baby who cries about everything and seeks protection from her father and brother. The brother seems like a bastard who doesn't do much good either. The father just seems plain abusive. None of them have any real depth so it's a mystery how our apparently "wise" fl never realized things sooner. And I'm positive you don't just realize and change completely overnight.

    To give you the benefit of the doubt again- she ain't wise at all. Homegirl used to be a naive and abused little girl, who was starved for affection. And she didn't get all stoic and extreme out of nowhere, she just reached her breaking point- remember the whole spiel about her literally going on a rampage in her last life? Her current personality is what was left after she, you could say, vented out her despair. She gives up on giving a fuck about her family and just wants to find a way to stop the time shananigans. I also have my doubts about how she held out being yeeted off and exploited over 7 times, but we don't even have any info on how most of her reruns played out.
    But yea, the way the story is set up there's just no way mc wouldn't be op and lowkey edgy at this point, that takes away from the enjoyment for some people. If you're not into power fantasy you're not gonna get much out of this, at least for the foreseeable future.

    didnt she reveal that the reason she's investigating and walking around doing her own thing in this time line is because she wants to permanently find a way to die?
