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

Not exactly the nicest of romances. The who I really hope isn't the second ML (emperor) is a toxic and traumatized POS. The story plays the trauma like an excuse for his shittiness and I'm not here for it. The minster of defense and the one I really hope is the ML is sweet and I can't wait for fluff of when they get together. Worldbuilding decent. Plot is good. Tension is great. Characters are largely awesome (aside from the mistress who is a classic trope of the genre). I can't wait to see all the things out MC gets up to!... And the enviable downfall of emperor and mistress. Ch 30

I should have known by some of the comments (to paraphrase not really enemies just misconumicators) that I wouldn't enjoy this one. Fine enough story but I am clearly not their audience. I had hopes because action and love and that sounds awesome but this wasn't the easy love. No. They had to flip flop back and forth because they weren't talking to each other. Maddening. Some of it was understandable but there was so much assumptions and ARGH. I got annoyed with things enough to quit near the end but stuck it out cause it wasn't that far off and maybe it'll magically get better (it did not). The worldbuilding was painfully clearly built are misogyny bad and for some likely dumb reason mages couldnt fall in love. I thought maybe it was a poorly disguised comparsion to gay or mixed "race" relationships (but with all straight couples). But at least it was unique. Poorly done though cause the lore kept switch about (but maybe that was translation errors). I enjoyed this a 0 out 5 but because I'm clearly not the target audience I rate it a 3. Tension decent. Plot....fine. characters are largely fine. The MC (FL) is not well done though. They flip flop between her being sorta badass (mostly through other characters description) and a Damsel. Which I am sadly used to. But the worse part for me was the lack of drive. She fought for her position but then just went well I got it now. See spoilers for other tea. Ch 48

SO when she decided to stop loving him cause his dad "killed" her parents I was like stupid assumption but semi-understandable one to make. The lack of talking kinda made sense but not even a chapter later she was all (internally and to her brother) but I still love him only I don't cause I don't love him anymore. GIRL. An I don't know would have been fine. An I can't do this would have been fine. I honest to God thought great now they're finally "enemies' I'm here for the slow burn. Nope she had her feelings wrapped up and decided to love him again like a chapter later (and maybe decided not to act on them for another chapter but either way it was wayyyy too short to switch from FUCK YOU! To I wanna fuck you). Which made her feeling and her personality feel weak. Other people brought up the lack of respect for her chapter as she somehow bounces between the comic relief and the love interest instead of being the MC. Hadn't realized this at the time but oooh boy she does. Plus she got the "I'm not like other girls" energy. Second tea the ML. Unremarkable aside from the fact I do not like how he's loved her since the beginning of the story. It turned it into a sped run of enemies to lovers (which is by its nature either smutty or slow burn). I didn't appreciate him bouncing between she's badass and God forbid a woman go into the desert it's dangerous but we swear this isn't misogyny he was was worried for her...which we swear also isn't misogyny and is totally only because he loves her (onesidely). The ickiest thing of all if the DM club. The manipulation of MC instead of working with ML to get to a place were he can confess on his own was just eww. I was actually on board for the anti-DM club just because I needed some conflict outside of the MC-ML failed communications.
Overall it feels to rushed (both in plot and story construction). The worldbuilding isn't really thought through. Cause somehow it's unheard of a woman Duke but a woman archmage that's fine. And I'm honestly surprised no one suggested at oh no a woman Duke meeting that she wouldn't get the title her first born son would. This would force her into marriage (and kids) very quickly. But then she'd never become a knight and oh no where is the plot going. This convient lack of this suggestion screams only misogyny when convient. Not to mention her men completely accept her as badass with essentially a sneak attack with aura. Not training in leading knights or battle strategies required only swordplay here. Where the commitment to the bit.
