This one's painfully idiotic. They can't tell that it's her just because of some light make up?? The people who have literally watched her grow up? Come the fuck on. Make it at least a little believable. Anyway, the "saint" is a psychopath. I mean, holyshit, she actually watched her family burn to death. She's insane.

Not amazing so far, but too shabby. FL is kind and sincere and knowledgeable (about childhood education, as a former kindergarten teacher). She's quite a bit like the FL from "The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes", which is also by this author. ML is. Well. He seems to care about people, but has a hard time properly showing it. He's also a little too excited to draw blood at the drop of a hat. But, we'll see. In any case, I do like the story so far and the fact that FL was able to leave her abusive family so early into the story makes this more palatable. Ch 11

I started it without realising there are only 2 chapters out T.T It's very interesting, so far. Very "The Vilainess Reverses The Hourglass" Edit: It's genuinely so good. Interesting and quite fast-paced, unlike most manhwa, but the execution is good. And satisfying too, I love that she has a good support system, this time around. From Helen (so happy she saved her), to her brother, to the prince. I also love that the mom is not evil. I would have hated it if she were. Fermina is truly terrifying, though. How is there so much hate inside her, she so young! I am genuinely terrified. Ch 12

Whew. I can't ever agree with their revenge, but I do feel bad for the marquis and his family, nonetheless. The queen really ruined all their lives with what she started, and the marquis is no better. I didn't dislike Lesian or the Duke, but I also didn't find them to be particularly likable. The plot too, while good, didn't feel exciting because the execution lacked drama. For example, the dialogue lacked imagination at times, and was straight up cringe at other times (the bad translation didn't exactly help). I found myself skipping through a lot of the random conversations to get to the plot. 4.2/5 Ch 80 (in case there are extras)
