It makes sense. That’s also something that annoys me lol.
Hmm. It may have been that she thought that the future wouldn't change, but I think she was more surprised by the fact that there is someone wery rich that she didn't meet in her past life (and we know that the roscents were the richest in the empire)
What I mean is... maybe she thought some things would change, because some things really did change, but not to this extent.
But yeah, "I deff will die if I can't be best friends with the heroine/male leads" etc. is a little bit too used in some stories...

That's a good point!
You're exactly right. It's very obvious that after regression, MC has returned to the past and knows about her tragic future (Future A). If she decides to change Future A, she would have to make different decisions from the ones that led to Future A. Every different decision will create new pathways in the future which will eventually lead to a new future (Future B) which is not tragic but possibly a happy future. So it is obvious that the future CHANGED lol. It's something which she should expect and even be ready and prepared for. She shouldn't assume that she knows everything about her past or future but be flexible in accepting small changes which will keep happening as a reaction of every different decision she took to change the future. This is something the authors either forget due to ignorance, or maybe do it on purpose to create stupid characters and irritate the smarter readers lol XD
Either way, I love regression stories with less mistakes and more quality stories.
Hmmm. On second thought, could it be that the regressors think that only they could change things? I mean, Aria instantly gave up the idea to reform Mielle while they are kids. Like, she knew it wouldn't change a thing even if she tries it. And these big changes, that did not happen as an exact result of her doings (instead of "dropping vase --> it's crushed", it's more likely saying "the vase is ugly --> someone brokes it and buys a new one", and she is surprised where the vase went) happened later in the second life, which could've left her in the mindset "I already did things and these were the results, nothing ordinary should happen"... like the crown prince, the neighbor king, ect...
So I meant to say that she thinks the things she does and say to others, those things doesn't mean so much to them to make their bigger decisions be influenced by her. Like I said the vase-case. She things little things can change, that's okay, but why would they actually listen to her? Noone likes her and she doesn't even have a great reputation and influence... a little silly thinking from her.
I don't think all regressors think that they solely can change the future. But Aria definitely knows her part in changing the future, so I applaud her for that clarity. She eventually understands that her new decisions created a ripple effect. Her business ideas brought profits to the Count and the businesses she sponsored, meaning, her direct contact with these businessmen changed their futures alongwith her own: she accumulated wealth. Just like how her first contact with Asher changed his future too.
She might have thought of herself and her decisions/actions as insignificant earlier but after the success of the Fur business, she recognizes her own strength and begins her journey to make a significant impact in the politics of the country. These are few examples of political moves: changing Isis's future who was the Empress in Future A, market monopoly (sugar), secret investment and sponsorship, open support to Crown Prince's faction through the Talent Academy co-partnering and scholarships and so on. These are all conscious, well-thought out decisions. And she gained massive popularity among the people, so she definitely doesn't think she's insignificant, but there's a chance that she thinks herself above the nobility through her actions, which is hypocritical again, because she wouldn't have had the money to buy the sugar in bulk if she wasn't taken in by the Count. Whatever money she had was her allowance she got from the Count.
YASSS. This was said perfectly!!
But I said she didn't think about it at the earlier chapters. So before she actually started doing these things
Aww thank you! I'm just glad my point was understood haha
Ahh ok, yep you're right. She was very young when she regressed so she was just testing waters and not thinking of too far ahead haha
I very much like this story and will continue to read it, I'm just finding a factor in this story that seems to always show up in other "revenge"/"reverse time" type stories. In all of the stories I've read so far, when the FL returns to the past to fix whatever happened in the future (such as their death) I'm noticing that the FL is always assuming that the future won't change. For example in chapter 21 Aria is surprised at the sudden introduction of Rain, who she never met before. But the thing is... why would she be surprised?? Since she now KNOWS the future, same with the FL in other stories, why would she think it won't change? Of course the future will be different now! It'll be different BECAUSE she knows the future. Basically, I'd just like to see a FL who thinks like "okay. I know the future which means things COULD be the same, but I should also expect that the future could change because I know what will happen and I am changing things NOW to change that bad thing that will happen."
Idk. Does this make sense to you guys? I just feel like she should've expected things wouldn't be the same since she is actively trying to change a future that technically hasn't happened yet but she knows about.
