I’m so tired of seeing reincarnation or transmigration genre in manhwas, because it’s just unnecessary and useless. And in this manhwa it’s one of the most useless things.
An example of good reincarnation/transmigration into novels are “Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint” and “Trash of the Count’s Family”. At least in those manhwas, the main characters constantly interact with the original plot and execute it perfectly. But many other manhwas just take the concept, put it for some reason and do nothing with it. This manhwa is the same.
Main character, Valeta, was reincarnated into the novel, but she doesn’t remember much from the novel. She never even mentions the plot of the novel or important characters besides the main character (who was introduced and then just disappeared for ~50 chapters and never mentioned lol), main villain (ML) and a few other characters. Furthermore, we get absolutely 0 information on her past life, so sometimes I just kept forgetting she is an ADULT in child’s body. Why even add the reincarnation to this when the plot would’ve been just fine without it? Just to add “villain” to the title? I’m hating this because nowadays every second new manhwa/novel has reincarnation and transmigration genre. Just give me a break.
Another thing that pissed me off is Valeta’s personality, because author kept changing it and changing their mind about it. In the beginning, she was kind, but had to keep distance because of her fear to lose people. But then author just kept going back and forth with it. One moment she is kind and then another she is acting she couldn’t care less if other people suffer and just like a sociopath that doesn’t understand some human emotions (but again wtf is she acting like this? she wasn’t actually a child growing up in these conditions. she was an adult. yes, it’s traumatising, but it wouldn’t completely delete understanding of basic sympathy and empathy).
Example: She saved and looked after (while keeping distance) the og main character from the novel, told Reinhardt not to kill people and cared about people in distress (Eliza, the ‘pets’ her dad kept, Reinhardt, the ‘chimera’ guy, etc). But then, for some reason, she did not give a single fuck when the mansion was destroyed and people, who were nice to her and took care of her, were under the rubble and dying. She had 0 reaction about it and wanted to walk away from it?? Make it make sense. She is saving and helping people who she doesn’t know (Eliza, for example), but then does not give a fuck when people close to her are dying. SHE ALSO COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE KID (OG MC) SHE CARED FOR AND THE CAT??? HELLO?? Absolutely pissed me off.
There are many more inconsistencies with her character, but I don’t want to go and spend more time talking about this.
Plot had a great potential and I don’t mind a morally gray MC, but it was just wasted. Author is inconsistent and throws a lot of unnecessary shit into the plot (like reincarnation that could be removed and nothing would change and many more).
P.S. it’s my opinion and I’m not dissing people who like this manhwa.
