Pretty good if not for the whitewashing. Funny thing about this is the FL has dark skin, eyes, and hair bc she has the blessing of the Spirit King of Darkness, and for that she was ostracized but then later on she receives a light blessing making her skin WHITE. The backlash was so hard that it was reverted back just the next chapter after. But anyways, aside from that, this actually has good views on things. Like how they pointed out the fact that young girls should not be sent to fight in a war, unlike other mangas that normalize it. Also how Claudia didn't automatically just accept her parents apology, because yeah, apologies don't necessarily need to be accepted. Especially since Claudia herself had yet to recover from her trauma they caused. Would've liked to see a sequel with the OG Fl, on how she navigates the world after being released and what becomes of her.

This was honestly so unique. Would've been a hundred times better though if it was actually GL. The MC has such a unique outlook on revenge, the way it shows her going from hating Emi to loving her for showing Remi a better "her". I really didn't know how this would wrap up the whole romance with Angel, for one, the story would've been ruined had Remi suddenly fallen in love with Angel, but it also wouldn't fit "Emi's Remillia" to just reject Angel after leading him on all this while. Thus, the author's idea to instead make Remi "accept" Angel was genius. Remi did not fall in love with Angel, nor did she reject him, while she did get into a relationship with him, it was merely a sort of acceptance—an alliance, to her, of people who loved Emi. She loved Emi, and he loved Emi's Remilia, that was enough. The implication that Emi could've possibly reincarnated into her child was crazy. The story is a tad bittersweet, while Remi certainly did get her revenge for Emi and now is living happily, this also means that she barely gets to be just Remi, instead living the majority of her life as Emi's Remillia. However, it can also be left to interpretation that "Emi's Remillia" isn't Remi as Emi, but rather, a Remi who has changed for the better with Emi's guidance. Either way, the story is great for such a short one. While perhaps a bit corny at times, it has great writing for Remillia. UPDATE: Got a side story, honestly I liked seeing them finally meet but I do kinda dislike how it entirely erased any possibility of yuri:(
