the whole house thing is weird. they're like, oh no, we have no architects. the art of making buildings has been lost. so when they visit the neighbouring country they're so amazed by people having nice buildings. and, yeah, maybe nobody would have tried building anything while the crazx tyrant was on the throne. but obviously he's been dead for a while now.
........and not once in 100 years did someone say, hey, maybe we can make an offer for a builder to immigrate here? maybe we should have some of our people apprentice away for a while? maybe we should look at one of the sturdier houses and attempt to replicate it?

the last one i read that had a title about 'being a sister of whoever' ended up with the brother being the ml and i'm so glad that didn't happen here. no incest here. safe to read.

Oh I know EXACTLY what that is... Disturbing af. Like basically they grew up together (surviving from a murderous family or something), treat each other as siblings (cause that's what they've been told, "SIBLINGS". And unraveled the truth that they were not), and then they were getting the hots for each other.... Dude....

okay, after getting past the initially bad (they get better) translations, i quite liked it. 1. it was interesting that there were two regressors. the time regression wasn't explained but i'm choosing to believe it was because they were twins and had basically the same overlapping wish at the moment of their death. or at least the later translations call them twins. magical twin stuff. 2. everybody had good character motivations. 3. i especially like how bitter our main character was. how she got worn down with it. she was relatable. i've read too many stories where the main character is just, i dunno how to say, like endlessly peppy or something, a go-getter, i-give-zero-shits-so-now-it's-my-way-or-the-highway type of person. which is fine for that but it's not relatable like patrizia was for me here.

this is, well, not bad i guess, but it very much feels like she moves through the storyline doing not much at all. like, taking a walk and a guy shows up to add to the plot and then she moves along and the next guy shows up for the storyline. she's just kind of there and people are bickering about her in the background.
the lack of nipples distracted me a little but i understand that they probably had to get past some censorship. aside from that, damn i can't believe they had to murder that man three separate times in a row. what is he, rasputin??
