There are quite a lot I love about this. I love our FL, she is so cute.
I love the redheaded knight, something did tell me he wasn't just around her and caring bout her because she is a neglected child, but his fatherly instincts kicked in to protect this child. He is a great father so it makes sense.
Ligrin... there is one thing I like about him is that he does seem caring even if he is meant to look harsh. He knows what the commander is true and had no choice but to walk away and remain silent.
As for the second brother, I can just tell he does care but due to how he has seen the FL been treated, he, too, treated her horribly because children are impressionable, so he acts by what he sees within his environment. Could he truly hold disdain for her? Possibly but that isn't being revealed. We clearly saw in one of his thoughts "I just didn't want you in a shabby place" or somewhere around those lines but it means he does have some level of worry and care for the FL and slowly beginning to change. Should he have made the change the time around? Yes, but as I said, children are impressionable. Monkey see, monkey do.

I had a feeling Raphael wasn't the one who killed Enrika in the first timeline. Why kill the person you need to break your curse? Also, the man must have also cherished Enri in some fashion to go as far as being a villain along with the maid who also cherished her master.
Thanks to distorted memories, the fl thinks this some sort of novel when really, this is her original world and the people within it categorized themselves to being "characters" in the novel.

I knew from the beginning this was a "supposed to be born in this world but got soul swapped" troupe or whatever it's actually called. It's honestly one of my favorite troupes. It's a concept that i hardly seen used. It makes sense that this is supposed to be FL's true world she was meant to be in. She may be naive at best but she is learning everything as she goes as if she is a newborn baby. Especially since it isn't a novel/otome game based soul swapped where she would know the future and the ending. It's basically trial and error on who to trust and learn from series of mistakes.

I am usually fine with incest due to the amount of roleplays I have about such insane concept that my bestie and I do quite often. HOWEVER, that comment from the mother was VILE. I feel bad for the man who was trying to support his mother and then she goes and throw away all of his sacrifice and efforts to say that. He made points clear that he wanted his own family and children, valid. The mother is like "I can do it for you!"
Also, given the time period this is and how young she must have married into the family, she has a small chance of getting pregnant again. If we put aside the vileness and the fact she is his MOTHER, chances of those two producing children at her age is very low.

After going through the chapters and comments, you just have to admit while the imperial father and brother treated og Shu horribly due to misunderstanding upon misinformation and being lied to both in the past and present about Shu's real identity, those two truly does care now that they know the truth in the current timeline while the possessed Shu only knows the past and not the fact her birth started out with a lie that the imperial duo knew about when they heard the baby was a prince that died, not a princess. They have every right to do their best to make amends for the lost time but it is up to the current Shu to take the information in and deal with it how she pleases. I would honestly be fine if she keeps both families who do love her and want what is best for her.
While there are some qualities of the male lead that is extremely distasteful, but he isn't like most male leads who would constant abuse the female lead and make them depraved of any sort of contact. This.female lead is only scared to be abandoned because it dawned on her finally that her family just outright abandoned her. I don't blame her for how she acts and why she is scared of being left again. That's all she has experienced in her life.
Is the male lead doing anything to make it better? No, however it's still early in the story. He isn't the worst male lead in the world, he does try to take care of her when not using her for sex. It's a nice touch though that he was a virgin who acted on instinct to take his female as his. We don't get too many male leads like him to be a virgin. The male lead still has room to grow as he is already swayed into developing some sort of feelings for her which is a better direction than most male leads could even fathom.
The female lead, bless her, no one has taught her Jack shit. It makes sense why she acts like that because no one taught her anything nor did she have any freedom to learn on her own. She isn't dumb, at least the annoying type of dumb. She was never given the chance to learn, hence the lack of dining etiquette being one of them. She is only learning as she goes through the interactions, wouldn't surprised me if the blonde maid taught her what it meant to be a chambermaid. It's plausible that is why she knew what to do because she was taught off screen while we were focused on the male lead. The maids instructed her on wjat to do but it's only speculation as she just outright gave him a blowjob.
All in all, this is a more tamed version of this kind of trope. It is definitely worth it for me to read. The main leads are growing on me. There isn't really much to hate about them too much other than it's distasteful at the beginning.
