spirited-away's manga / #Royalty x Noble(5)

[%] The entourage of an otome game's villainess recovers memories of a past life being a 40 yr old mother who died from saving her daughter. As she awaken 6 years before the game begins, she's set on deviating from her "destined" fate to fall with the villainess. [28] Most topics have commented my sentiments regarding the lack of impact despite being more or less interesting. First, her age has become irrelevant and illogical when a MARRIED woman is unable to come into terms with her feelings—this becomes an issue because she acknowledges her age and past life as herself, not just a "memory". Second, there is no chemistry between the FL and the rest of the boys, especially the ML. The ML's attraction is more or less well defined, but with the FL, it's a sudden "ache in my chest" after seeing him as someone younger than even her daughter. Third, she fits being a merchant more than a protagonist in a shoujo manga. Lastly, the "game's" conflict had no impact with the way it was introduced then quickly resolved. (☆☆☆)

FL: Bold ML: Shy Antagonist(F): Manipulative Antagonist(M): Insecure, Destructive

FL: Dense and good natured ML: Sociopath Antagonist (F1): Self-absorbed Antagonist (F2): Destructive Side Characters: Good-natured and protective

FL: Idealistic, Impulsive, Maturing ML: Cunning, Forward Antagonist: Superiority complex, manipulative Side Character1: Hidden Identity and major key to the plot Side Character2: Dense and Arrogant Disclaimer: Really annoying during the early chapters and almost dropped it at around chapter 20, but I continued since the comments/topics were praising it. It became satisfying when the FL stopped dropping her brain.

FL: serious about rules but clams up during confrontations abt the game (quite the damsel in distress), unnecessarily kind ML: Protective, Clingy, Powerful, Honest, Loyal Antagonist1 : treats the whole thing like a game, dangerous (but liniently punished tsk) A2: interested in FL, lowkey/ slightly misogynistic (both A1 and A2 became "friends" w/ FL) Atmosphere: generally frustrating. I only like the ML
