A story about overcoming childhood abuse and trauma with the love and support of found family. Ch 78

Ch 31. Interesting. A bit too overpowered, though

This is such a wise and strong FL. Not exactly the easily lovable type, but definitely redeemable given that this is a do-over (absolutely not, otherwise) Edit: Ahh. Political Intrigue is such a tedious genre. And in this one, not only do we have the pettiest of petty plots, but the well-planned 3D chess style maneuvering, as well. Still, I do enjoy it, and I especially love reading about how she approaches and solves the issues that are thrown her way. Asensio would make a fine emperor, no doubt, but I do think she'd make a great empress too. Though, of course, Elissa has absolute no desire for such a position and I wouldn't wish it on her. I hope we can continue to see a lot more of that bonding time between Consort Elissa, Leon and Asensio. And I can't help but hope she'll be free from the clutches of that awful emperor some day. I'm rooting for the knight, but being the obsessive princess's fiance, I diubt it'll go anywhere. Ch 102

Incredible and incredibly hopeful. Let's see. Ch 67

Mmm. Not feeling it. Dropped.

This story is complete. I think, perhaps, the fact that Aria, while softening over time, remained stubborn, ruthless, and a bit selfish, really made this standout a bit more than some stories where the reincarnated character does a complete 180 (although, there are many of those that I also love). Asher too, is not a typical ML, unexpectedly ruthless when push comes to shove, but marshmallow sweet, otherwise. I wouldn't normally like either character all that much, but the way they are presented here, I really do love them, especially Aria. I really enjoyed her realising how the people she had seen as means to her ends had become precious to her. I also really, really loved how Aria was so overwhelmed and happy to be recognised for her intellect and talent, for the first time in her life. I also love her relationship with her mom. I like how the loose ends were wrapped up, and I really do feel justice was truly and fully served, which is rare. I didn't think the latter chapters with the kids was necessary, and I do prefer that their memories got erased, even though the explanation was a tad wonky. I wish their wedding chapters were more detailed and longer, but other than that, zero complaints. 5/5

What a political minefield! I don't typically enjoy these, but this one is amongst the few exceptions. Mostly because the princess is so resourceful and smart and doesn't waste her time on unnecessary bullshit. She doesn't care for petty revenge either. Her goal, as ever, is to secure the crown, and use it to establish universal rights for the homunculi. You have to love that. I am also enjoying this so much because she found out the truth about her regression so early in the story. It makes the whole thing so much more satisfying to read. I am excited to read on and see the revolution come to life. Ch 58

She's not annoying but genuinely just not a good person. The plot's intriguing, though. And somehow, I'm still rooting for her. It's hard to put this down. Ch 45

It's a little annoying? Why is this "god" choosing random people to be saviours??? Clearly, none of the people he chose are really suited to the task. Not the spoiled brat, nor the lazy cafe' owner (although, being the MC, she's doing the best job of them all) or even the idealistic teenager who almost got everyone killed. It makes this really hard to enjoy!!!

The story's interesting, but sooo slow. Cosette is a bitch, but not smart enough to thwart Keira, so far. She's got the backing of a powerful demon, though so it's definitely going to get bad for Keira in the latter chapters. I think Keira is incredibly ignorant and naive, for the most part. I can even fogive her arrogance and disdain for her servants and knights in the first life, because she's just so clueless. She's not really the type to be able to get her revenge on someone with such a solid plan. But she's getting a lot of help and Cosette is strangely... incompetent? Anyway, the story's not too bad, overall, but I would prefer to read after it's been completed. Ch 84
