The concept was pretty good but God is this so badly written :)

The pacing isn't good, you jump from plot to smut to filler information in favor of expositions. The manipulation reveal was lackluster and felt more like a plot device, while the chemistry and characterization feels charming, it's still audibly daft considering most of their dialogue consists of 'I can't do X cause of Y'
That doesn't make it a bad media however, The series has its merits and flaws just as how formal literature isn't the cup of tea of many. It's still valid to critique the story for setting up plot lines like 'He's not my actual grandfather' or 'I'm now friends with a vassal' only to use those possible interesting character study as just a plot device to drive the narrative further.
Aka Grandpa > Goes to the North > Whoa, Demons I have to go there now
Or Brown Haired Vassal > You guys are cool join my club > Literally just turns into someone you just send a pamphlet to.
The tournament > Let's have a promise > Nvm we fucked already > Wyverns

I hope she doesn't forgive that sperm donor (atleast easily). It really makes me angry when sh*t fathers are redeemed by simply stating that they are "awkward and shy", fck that. The child is mentally and physically abused and neglected and you are still "awkward and shy" for more than a decade, yeah right!
And I hate it how she said "I didn't understand him either" , how will a literal child understand her sperm donor if they don't even have a single proper conversation and why the hell do you even need to understand him!? It's nice and good in a fairy tale but not in real life, such parents leave a different kind of mental scar in the kids.

I would like to think that at the end, Carsein fell in love with someone who actually has a brain and appreciates him passionately and MC gets cheated on again. Because more than the shifty ML, I find the fact that MC actually after all that growth and drama chose shit again, so much more offending. All my love was wasted, I fcking hate her.

If dame Iona ( from this marriage will succeed) was her superior she would have run laps until she keels over… given all the studying she did in the last life she is hella dumb…she felt offended that jiuen didn’t follow etiquette despite being taught while she follows it conditionally with the prince and nobility…this hypocrite… if you are going to talk big to the god saying you will reject them i would expect you to show more dedication and desperation than this…. This MC is a disgrace to other regress MCs ( ̄へ ̄)
I heard a japanese ver was released, anyone has any idea where to read it??
I want to know too...
