Just gonna leave this here, do not read this if you are coming in wanting a revenge story.

There is no buildup to the eventual revenge or any point for it. I will explain this up just as a note I dropped the story and did not finish reading.

The revenge is on the family of the FL. But all characters involved are one-note caricatures of evil. The mother just hates her because of her low bloodline and so does the father. Father is just power hungry. They’ve known for a while where their real daughter was and didn’t get her. All their issues point back to them but there is no nuance in how the story portrays this. They really show one emotion all the time which is anger.

There is also no buildup to some revenge. For many chapters the FL is like “i’m gonna do it… I swear I will-“ and that’s it. No planning or setting up situations. Just talk.

This is an issue I found with the story that it mainly was just talk. By all the characters. A lot of tell not show. The FL just says she wants revenge, the parents just say how much they hate her, and the prince keeps saying he wants her. And all of this is just to themselves.

I thought there might be something interesting with the sister. They were setting up some interesting dynamic between them. I liked how the FL had a complicated relationship with her and her thought process was interesting. But this too ended up being wasted potential like the rest of the story.

So far this is incredible!! I highly recommend this as a read to anyone who loves shoujo isekai. It seems similar to many other stories but also incredibly refreshing! Probably because the characters and plot are so well written :)
