Meridian's manga / #Complete(30)

I've never had a story use so many tropes that it became... somewhat unique? For part of it I hated all the characters, MC and ML felt like super angsty annoying dogblood common stereotypes. But suddenly they switch out the ML and og ML is kind of a bad guy, but also gets a redemption arc? At no point in the plot did I know what was gonna happen next, which was one of the only upsides to this absolute trainwreck of a story. Also, the harem tag on this was a lie there's only ever some love triangle stuff for the most part. ★★☆

Cute and fluffy! My favorite part was the beginning where MC was seducing the ML, she was so funny calling him nicknames, and then her niece doing it later as well was freaking adorable. The big antagonist (evil god) wasn't super interesting to me just because it felt pretty generic. Other than that I loved reading about the relationship of the main couple, no misunderstandings here! If there was close to something like that, it was worked out pretty much immediately! ★★★☆

Super cute and fluffy! The relationship between MC and ML starts right away and they have little to no conflict between them, all the plot progression comes from the antagonist (MC's mom). This was actually a Cinderella x Snow White retelling, but the sisters all get along instead. Nothing new in this story but definitely a warm and cozy read.

Pretty interesting background of this story. I love how MC wasn't the original character or a transmigrator, but instead someone who came to be after combining the memories of the two. Also, there was super great communication between the MC and ML, secrets and lies were revealed but are no match for being open about your feelings and talking them out! The climax of the author showing up was a little too deux ex-machina for me, kinda felt like it was cringe and made the whole thing fall a little flat.

Super sweet ML even though he's a villain, he values MC so much and yet puts so much effort into not belittling her choices. Misunderstandings were actually used well and moved the plot forward without dragging on too long! The only downside was the amnesia arc, I'm normally indifferent to them but this one felt too much like useless fluff. Also, the lesbian sister of the ML was one of the best and most wholesome older sister characters ever. 4.5/5 stars
