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

Honestly not sure what to say. It was great overall (started a little slow). I found the new take refreshing but weird at times (the classic immortal falling in love with young human plus the reverse harem) but it mostly made sense in the story (awesome worldbuilding). The plot is fine mostly meandering. The tension is building up as short goes on. The characters are awesome. The couple interactions are very sweet and wholesome (little worried by the kiss happening so soon but hasn't been one since). Ch 37

Typical of the genre. I enjoyed the family life thayvis usually missing but otherwise it was like waiting for that last piece to fall in to make it great. At first there was some stakes because it was his last resurrection but it became very clear that every thing was too easy for him. Plus he doesn't seem invested in his goal of getting at least 5 people to the last round. Maybe if his possible future teammates were actually in his region we'd have a bit more but nope the 1 we know about is somewhere else despite living in the same area. Plus this author is TERRIBLE at writing women both characters and in the plot. Trigger warning for sexual assault or threat of assault for pretty much all but 1 woman. Ch 37

Cute and amusing but predictable. If you like others in this genre you'll enjoy it do (but don't expect too much new things). Worldbuilding fine characters great (especially FL and Luca) plot fine tension good. Trigger warning neglect and child abuse (backstory and flashbacks mostly). Ch 86

Great mix of cute and action. I HONESTLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD AT SOME MOMENTS. The main characters are awesome (the side are okay but who cares). The plot is slow burn the romance semi slow and more cute than spicy. Definitely a reverse harem (but most have no idea she's still alive). Worldbuilding was great (very light). Tension was awesome. I can't wait to pick this up again! Ch 26

It is definitely not typically. Sure the ML starts falling for the MC but boy is it slow burn and heartbreaking. The MC has yet to find happiness or even really safety (contrary to most that very quickly find safety and probably happiness). The worldbuilding is great (there was an almost hiccup where the 2FL almost seemed like she had magic that was manipulating the characters but nope there was am author with the magic instead which is better in my mind). Plot is great. Characters are great. Tension is awesome. Not totally sure if I'll pick it up again though cause I read romance for the fluff. Trigger warning: abuse (flashback and in story). Ch 40

Story is just getting started but seems interesting! The romance is slow burn with lots of tension in the plot about non-romance things. The MC is a strong female character (not physically but mentally..sorta). She bounces all over the place emotionally but always settles quickly on a direction with confidence. Not much to the ML as he is badass, traumatized, and doesn't emote well. Plot is more like a romance plot and a intrigue action plot weaved into one (and its great). The worldbuilding feels heavy at times but better than most martial stories. Ch 22

A typical but great story. Definitely a little too long for how much plot actually happened. I finished on a happy chapter so don't think I'll pick it up again. The couple is insanely sweet, love their relationship (even if it's a little too codependent). The plot is fine. Characters are fine. Tension is fine to good. The worldbuilding is okay. Most of it's fine but there's a lot of things that are just casually added in (like magic) with no real effect to the plot. The worst one that actually brought me out of the story a lot was the random add in of the fairy to the origin story. I liked it way better before because it implied the ML loved the MC for her. Now with the fairy there is an implication of reincarnated lovers and it took the magic out of their love. Sure it explained why the emperor's magic didn't work on her (but that was it and there could have been other work arounds). The magic overall bothered me too. It's just not used often and randomly pops up just when I've forgotten it exists. At first it seemed like a thing for origin story reincarnates only then they dropped the magic rings for the jousting and no idea how they made them. It would have been better to use paper or fabric targets. Great fluff though. Trigger warning: Sucide. Child abuse (ML), sibling abuse from emperor to half sister. Ch 71
