So my memory is a little fuzzy from the beginning (before she died in the original life), so correct me if i got things wrong here... but if i were transported back in time after being treated like that by the family (the kids) so poorly i would have no motivation to be nice to them. i guess i'm just a shittier person than the FL, and i felt like her death was kinda fishy??? like what about jeremy's to be wife then she was full of red flags and the way she spoke to her I would just think that's how jeremy viewed her and wanted her dead??
you didn't ask for it, but here's a spoiler if you want XD

The kids actually loved her in her first life, but they didn't know how to show it. The kids loathed her at first because they thought that she had stolen their dad, and that she was replacing their mom, and Jeremy also disliked her because Shuri apparently was already with another guy, a month after his dad's death. We find out, however, that Shuri had fake lovers to ward off her mom and also to protect their household. By the time the kids had decided that she was good person afterall, it was too late. Their relationship had gotten so bad, and Shuri would misinterpret/misunderstand their actions of reconciliation (the scene in the prologue where she was walking up the stairs while the kids looked up at her, sending a paper plane, was to symbolized them trying to reach out to her). Anyways, it's a lie that Jeremy didn't want Shuri in his wedding. It was that fiance, her dad, and evil relatives idea. In reality, Jeremy really wanted Shuri in the wedding because the kids wanted to surprise her at Jeremy's wedding, by finally calling her "Mom" for the first time. She died on her way there though because of the shitty trio I mentioned TT_TT.
I really admire Shuri, she is really loyal and you can tell that she really loves the children. The story is shown in her perspective, so you really tell the disconnect that she has with the children's real feelings of love for her. Of course, it's not her fault, the were pretty mean to her. Also, all those years wasn't just all bad relationship; there was that scene with them playing in the snow etc. I won't doubt for a second that she would leave the kids.
I'm really glad these extras weren't just sugary fluff and happily ever after. This is jousei and there's so much realism in this, i see alot of comments where ppl are angry they aren't communicating enough or right. and i just wanna say ya? that's life??? all these ppl calling it as they see it, i hope that when these things happen to you irl you can actually communicate properly haha. In my eyes this is so real, hits so close to home and i can really feel the emotions of all the characters its great.

probably an unpopular opinion here but.... man this souma guy is really not doin it for me. If i were left like that, i would just leave... like i think this would just make me feel even more insecure about the relationship and question if he really is BF material
Right? like he could've gone about this so many ways!!! he could've just been frickin honest and said hey this is something i like doin so let me introduce you to this side of me... (BS on him saying she wouldn't be able to let loose cause ya being afraid on being hit on by guys at a club alone and not being able to leave cause you on a boat is really lettting loose) but at the end of the day i guess obvs this ain't about the plot... guess we should just be happy we getting any plot (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
like honey Ed, you didn't even need to see his face to know it was over... I knew it was over even before that.... I'm honestly shocked knowing somehow they will get back together... like if someone said those things to me heck they should be happy if i even acknowledge their existence afterwards
