this is NOT a love story

Hate that everyone is saying this isn't worth reading because the romance is too slow paced. It is not centered on the romance at all, it's is about the angst of being in a world you don't belong in and the uncertainty of your existence to those you love. It does a deep dive into the psychology of an isekai story and the themes goes so much deeper than "oh MC and some guy gets tg and they live happily ever after." That would be SO boring and repetitive, so if that's what you want please read something else. There are so many better options for romance than this.

While some of this story can drag on, the premise of this story as a whole is the unease of not belonging and misalignment of identity. She is LITERALLY not the main character of her own story. While she struggles to open her heart to people she feels she can't love, those who love her suffer from her indecision. It's a great angsty story with cute characters and is worth reading if you know what you're in for.

    Moreover, it's focused/centered in character development w/the uncertainty of being stuck in the novel world as the main driver

    I kinda appreciate how the arist & author are taking its time to fully flesh out the cast

    Not all stories have to be succinct

    For me, it's fun to read stories like this along w/other more fast paced ones

    Though it's not something to be binged giving the pacing
