I could really feel the author’s internal struggle in the final volume. The female lead suddenly decides to chase her dreams and leaves the male lead behind so abruptly. And the male lead… also changes way too suddenly.
As I was reading, I kept wondering, *How is this going to end?*—and then, boom, a plot twist ending. LOL.
I feel like even the epilogue for this ending is going to feel kind of empty.

I was enjoying it quite a bit in the beginning, but some parts of the setup started to break my immersion. I really liked the light Regency-style atmosphere, but when the male lead realized he was a character in a book, the author suddenly inserted themselves into the story, and the ending was abruptly changed—it all felt a bit forced to me, haha…
Then everything suddenly reset and restarted, which made it feel pretty empty and unsatisfying

The ending was so ridiculous that I’m completely dumbfounded. So if you make regretful choices, the solution is just to reboot everything? What a typical "because-it’s-a-novel" kind of ending.
No matter how much of a romance fantasy novel this is, it follows the classic pattern—starts off fun, then gradually digs itself into a hole, until the author seemingly decides they don’t like their own story and just resets everything.
And to top it off, it feels like the author completely forgot what to do with the main villain. Save your money.
So yeah, seems like the author didn't know what to do and wiped out everything and restarted it. Seems like the story is a loop. Also the cute sister knows some secrets but nobody knows what it is.
Also some spoilers from novelupdates:
Out of nowhere, Anri falls into an identity crisis. Despite having a loving husband, a luxurious life, and happiness within reach, she decides to leave everything behind to live as a man and go to university. This breaks the duke’s heart.
She’s incredibly indecisive throughout the story. First, she wants a happily-ever-after with the duke. Then she wants to “create her own story” and walks away. Later, when she learns the duke has been killed, she regrets it all and suddenly wants to be with him again. But it’s too late—his dream of being a good husband and father is gone because he's dead.
So what does she do? She contacts the author of the book and resets the story back to their first carriage encounter. Everything is rushed: they get engaged in two days, meet each other's families, and hop on a ship to France. That’s it. No wedding, no closure for the villain, no explanation for the murdered prince (twice!), the duke’s staff, or whether they have kids. Just… “Let’s sail off to a new adventure” and The End .
Damm wtf, I hope they change this. Anyways this us where I got everything from: https://www.novelupdatesforum.com/threads/the-duke%E2%80%99s-wife-obsession-%EA%B7%B8-%EA%B3%B5%EC%9E%91%EC%9D%98-%EC%95%84%EB%82%B4-%EC%A7%91%EC%B0%A9.177658/page-3

Dang, I hope the manhua changes it. That ending is so lame. What's the point of reading the story if everything that happened just gets erased? I notice this is a weirdly common ending for Korean webnovels. I guess the authors start their novels without a clear ending in mind and get lost on how to wrap it up.

Thank you very much for that big insight.
I feel there are some obvious negatives, but also some positives in what you described. Maybe the bad thing is what i find exhausting in most of these « this is a novel « transmigration.
The characters who transmigrate feels like tourists, having a very limited ability to realize the people surrounding them are not characters, change brings change, and whatever chaos they will bring in will most likely change the world in some places (at least relashionships should evolve)
Now what you described could be one of those tourist, changing her mind for nothing, being discontent with some but not necessarily wanting to make the effort to bring change. Such a character could just leave and go, visit some other places of the world.
What i appreciate is the idea that there are consequences (it should be obvious), but like a time traveler, there would be a pont where the character might be realizing it too late , which is exactly what you described.
It would be interesting if the writer is absolutely deliberate in making he character someone who plays the tourist part - at the same time, there’s always an obvious downside in the fact that there can only a shallow involvement in relationships or none. As a reader, it’s truly never a good thing : emotions are salt and spice of any story
Now it also seems the writer got carried by the story and missed the opportunity tu turn the potential of this bad angle into good story :)
Brother back off
