Lauvil's manga / #Time reversal(65)

I'm dropping this. It simply doesn't seem worth my time. The ML is a big weirdo-crybaby and I'm not into how forceful he was about the whole marriage-thing. And why the hell did the FL just accept it? Like, "he acts crazy, he's forceful and persistent but he chased off another creep, so I guess I might as well marry him." Like, wtf?

It's kind of cliché and kind of cringe, but for some reason I still read it enthusiastically. It annoys me that the FL has no confidence at all and can't do anything on her own, without leaning on her husband. Yet, they communicate well with each other, respect and care for each other. There are no drawn out misunderstandings and over-the-top drama. Which is very nice. So, yeah. Not a bad story. It's good, just not great.

Reading the description, I had really looked forward to reading this story. The premise sounded interesting and dramatic. However, upon reading it, it fell awfully flat of my expectations. Not only does it incorporate three of my least favourite tropes in manga - "villainess who plays cute and innocent", "reincarnated into a baby" and "falling for a murderer from a past life" - but it chose the comedic approach to the "killed 108 times" premise. It had the potential of being a psychological story peppered with angst and trauma, but instead it took the typical shoujo route. It's unrealistic that the mc would recover from the trauma of being killed so many times in gruesome ways so fast and quickly decide to see it as an opportunity instead. Even the guy who killed her 17 times only scared her for a few panels, before she decided he was really a good guy whom she suddenly trusted completely. I have probably have too high expectations, but I was really disappointed by this story. Imo, if you're going to go with a premise that screams angst, you gotta commit. But the author didn't. Sigh...
