Overall good scenario. Interesting choices with several love interests but I was glad she ended choosing the demon prince. The scenario did feel a bit long at the end, to me. Like around chapter 100-110 I was wanting to end it faster. I feel like even if the maron guild is foreshadowed, the big villain of it all is not really? So his appearance feels very ah. Ok. And I don’t like that his possession justifies all of the first prince actions. But it’s also because they made me feel quite icky, which impacted my perspective of him overall.
This story went quite far, from the getting rid of stepmother and stepsister to battle for the thrones/war with demons. I don’t like the fact that her being reincarnated never really was on the table and was unsaid. And that uh no reasons for it really explained? I’m someone who prefer when it’s a bit clearer than that.
I really like the second prince’s growth. From his love for her to be willing to stand for himself. I feel like it was a good narrative arc. I really appreciated the count’s character as well and how he was depicted.
The relationship between the FL and ML was good. I found it endearing even if they have been idiots in love for quite a bit of the story. I liked the parallel with ML’s sister’s story that ended in tragedy, and that added some complexity to the characters.
A character I really not liked; Her brother is kind of bad :/ it’s not for the lack of trying but that doesn’t make him a good brother. He comes back so late in the story, although his sister is always hoping it will happen, because he doesn’t want to face step mother and step sister (so he runs away from the situation and let his sister suffer nasty abuse). In the original story he only comes back after she’s dead - if that doesn’t tell you how bad he is. In here, when he comes back he’s controlling, annoying, trying to shelter his sister even if she’s kind of an adult now and doesn’t really need him, which lead to a lot of unnecessary actions. He also at first tries to kind of sell her off to his friend, who’s an asshole. Also he has suspicions that the ML is linked to his sister but instead of asking the question before fighting him off, he gravely injured him before he goes oh btw are you related to my sister? And then he feels guilty about hurting an important person to her like DUH. The FL kind of run away from home at first because he’s playing stupid. Then when they meet again, the ML has to “prove himself”? To whom? Cause until there the brother has only made bad decisions regarding his sister, if anything the brother is the one who has to prove himself lol. Good thing he at least recognizes that she grew on his own and that she doesn’t need him. He also didn’t assist to her wedding and left her behind (again lol) and he didn’t even say bye face to face he left her a f letter. Yeah he’s a good friend to Dian and maybe a good lover to Ramona but you definitely wouldn’t want to have that guy in your family. (Also poor Dian who’s in for a lot of thirdwheeling lol).
So overall a good story, with all its characters, even the one I didn’t like, as I felt like it made the plot what it is. It’s also good to have characters that make bad decisions etc, as it’s the way life is. I’d say reading this was a positive experience. I read a lot of chapters all at once (the arc with stepmothers and the ML becoming the ML was good) but I was less enthusiastic about the conclusion and the pace of it.
