Meridian's manga / #Shoujo(49)

So much wasted potential here. You can really tell in the end that they gave up on the story and threw some shit together to make it end quickly. The beginning was so much fun only for it to all fizzle out. MC was strong but to make things move easier she was nerfed and treated like an idiot who couldn't respond to the antagonist empress (mind you she was literally an emperor in the past). Plot and character consistency dropped to the bottom. Only got an extra star because it was really cute before the end. 2/5

The kid is soooo cute and I love everyone in the story freaking out about just as much as I was. Everything was well fleshed-out and tied up neatly at the end. I love it when stories properly tie in points and foreshadow from the very beginning. I also enjoyed the backstory of their previous lives and how ML was fighting fate to find her and let her live past her 20s. Well-done and cute! 4/5 stars

Everything felt forced. The ML was toxic but not the worst, MC was super annoying. I hate it when they ignore all the evidence and years of experience in front of them only to be like "oh but the book!". Ugh, there's something that feels too self-centered about her, like I'd be on the villainesses team instead and this would be the og mc in a different kind of isekai. She's too passive and everything's just a reaction. The character development was also close to zero, with pretty much all the characters having no depth. 1/5 stars

I hate it when stories are cut short and the author just throws together an ending. It started so well and was great until over halfway through. We were left with zero understanding of what MCs powers were, she never gets to understand them. The author said fuck development and the ML spends the last half acting like he went under a love boost spell so there was no rhyme or reason to his actions, he just suddenly couldn't take it anymore and went nuclear on her?? The premise was so fun and I loved watching the flower growing/arranging. Hah, another waste. 2/5 stars

So freaking cute and I love the side stories!
