To be fair sienna never asked for reincarnation like other people do. So it makes sense. she doesn't want anything, except for things to not go how they were before. She doesn't even care if she is part of the dukes family. In fact at the start, she wanted to avoid the duke all together.
If she doesn’t want things to go how they did before, Sienna’s already won. She’s a Named, and officially entered the Nacht family. Even if Loreina also gets adopted, there’s no way she could still use Sienna as a maid. So why’s she still fighting?
As for avoiding the duke? Maybe she didn’t ask for reincarnation, but she could at least plan an escape or a business or anything long term like those characters do. But let’s give her benefit of the doubt. Sienna was just acknowledged by the emperor as a quasi-royal, so why didn’t she ask him to take her in? That should have been her big break, earning the favor of someone stronger than Nacht.
For someone who hates the duke so much, she seems perfectly comfortable living as their little princess. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
No way asking a royal family to take her in is a stupid move. She died knowing everyone have big ass expectation on her and she thinks shes a failure. If the royal family take her in thats because shes of use for them not because of familial reason like Nacht who went to adopt her. If Loreina do something unexpected the first life incidents would be all repeated just in a different background in the royal family and would be publicly spread as a failure not only for the family but for the freakin entire kingdom.
I never said she hated the duke. I mean she might have. She's a very passive character. So you're right, she did succeed in stopping the original story by this. At first she didn't want to be part of the dukes, because of her trauma from being pushed away from them, but they've been proven different this time, to an extent. Also they did give a timeline from when the sister entered the duke, which I think is like a year after transmigration or 6 months or something. So I guess that's where this story is waiting for? And MC isn't realizing the butterfly affect going on. MC does heavily struggle with the "transmigration into a child, and mentality becomes a child syndrome". But ya this book never sets a clear goal. She just wants a peaceful life this time, and she doesn't care who it comes from. I don't even think she thinks she's going to ever get loved at this point, which we know she will. We also know that the dukes family is going to get their memories back soon... So that's gunna be satisfying, but ya this story isn't going anywhere unique
Thanks for acknowledging Sienna doesn’t realize the butterfly effect. It really bugged me when Hessaros had to explain to her that she has a different status now.
And back to my original point, the lack of a clear goal is why Loreina is a more convincing character for me. I know what she wants and why she wants it, so I understand what her relationships with others are going to look like. Sienna’s lack of care in how she achieves her ultimate goal kind of makes her relationships with others messy.
From what I’ve seen so far, Loreina is genuinely more compelling as a character than Sienna. I understand why Loreina is the way she is (greed, entitlement, her parents) and how that connects to what she’s going to do next (be a total scheming bitch) to get what she wants (power, status). Meanwhile, Sienna makes no sense to me and I don’t even know what it is that she wants anymore.
