Slow burn (marriage contract but haven't even kissed yet) which is frustratingly sweet. It's kinda nice that the reader realizes they like each other before the characters do. The plot is slow and full of intrigue. But the intensity is still good (builds and fades which it nice considering it's typically blood related). Plot good, characters great (like the expressions even if they're more subtle), worldbuilding great, tension great. Can't wait to see what's next in store for this budding couple! Ch 96

What a beautiful story. Love the power couple! And they're so in love, it's awesome. Awesome worldbuilding, great plot, great tension (starts low in the beginning but builds), and good characters. I love that our MC becomes close friends with the "real" FL instead of the "real" FL being the villian. The characters are pretty typical but they're connected to each other differently than the typical (no reverse harem here). This little tweak makes them seem great. Plus I love the little insights in the dukes brain with symbols (because he's not our POV so it wouldn't make sense for text). I'm so excited to see where this goes. Trigger warning: abuse (spousal between side characters, child abuse in ML backstory and plot), sexual harassment (not between main couple obviously but between side characters). Ch 72

Pretty typical of the genre but I enjoy that. She is a little more scheming than the typical MC in these which is awesome (typically they're smart and make good business decisions where she is actively manipulating the people around her to make them make good business decisions (or at one's that will benefit her). Worldbuilding fine, plot fine, characters great, tension great. Interested in seeing where this goes. Trigger warning; child abuse, slavery (both in backstory and shown in initial chapters), child marriage (being set up between 2 kids, currently non sexual but likely will change when older). Ch 48

Very cute and pretty slow burn despite them already being married (although that's partially due to misunderstandings). Reverse harem. Worldbuilding great, plot great, tension good, characters awesome. Trigger warning: emotional abuse (not between main couple), child abuse (flashbacks), bodies image issues, suicide, sexual assault (male LI when he was a child - flashbacks), homophobia, and a whole lot of patriarchy. A long list considering how light hearted the actual plot feels. Looking forward to reading next chapter (especially since I think they're finally about to kiss) . Ch 115

Enjoyable for sure. I liked the twist, refreshing switch up but it doesn't change the story that much. Characters are sorta good - but they forgive the MC way too easily without actually talking with her about what "past her" did. Has the trope everyone falls in love with the MC and most women peers are out to get her because jealousy. Loved the cooking aspect of it. They switch up the art style part way through (I think in reference to everyone hitting puberty or something but it came pretty much out of the blue). Will likely read again because tension awesome and interested to see where things go. Ch 123

Pretty cute but also pretty one note. A good one note but after 60+ chapters it can get a little tedious. The worldbuilding, plot, tension. Characters good. Definitely refreshing to have a confident FL that hasn't been reborn or something. The ending was great. Very sweet and semi wholesome (NSFW action minimal but very present). Ch 71

Cute and I like that the dad loves all of his children. Lots of trauma for the MC which effects her after it ends (but slowly getting better). Worldbuilding little iffy but not that distracting. The plot is fine as are characters. She does win over everyone pretty quickly which is fine (few hiccups but all less than a chapter). The love interest is a little werid (there's dreams then the whole needing her power to keep him alive). The tension is good. Interested to see what happens. Ch 40

While this seems to be over I am definitely reading any and all side stories that might come out! It was AWESOME. There were moments that were so cute I couldn't help but smile and moments that were do heartbreaking I cried. The MC was incredibly well written, as was the integration of worldbuilding. The romance for the MC and her 2 love interests was sorta slow burn (it came on fast and obvious but neither guy really did anything about it nor was she aware of it until she was older). The side characters were amusing but I would have liked for some of them to get their own little happy endings (Felix and Lillian for example). Great tension. Awesome characters and worldbuilding. Only a few weird things (spoilers) that shook me for a minute but still enjoy the story immensely. Ch 125

So biggest issue if that whenever MC saw her mom in her dreams it was from the point of view of her Dad. I loved the idea of seeing her mom in dreams but from that POV it was werid af for me. The author never went into it but it was definitely implied her dad and mom had sex and lusted after each other a lot which yeah werid to be in the same head experiencing the same emotions. Would have preferred like a out of body POV or the mother specifically visited her daughter but as a ghost and never for long.
Thus leads me to the second thing. Sometimes it felt like there was this incestuous vibe (I don't think it was intended by the original story but some of the fan art was sus).
.

Definitely slightly toxic because she's constantly monitoring and calming the ML down but still has lots of cute moments. Worldbuilding is a little iffy but the plot, tension and characters more than make up for it (spicy action is non existint right now with only a few pecks on the cheek and I think 1 on the mouth). The worldbuilding is IFFY but only really in hindsight so miminal impact. The plot is great (love the MC and the ML taking action on their own). The tension is good and the characters are good (aside from the villains which are pretty typical). Ch 36
