Other comments already described the issues with season 3. I agree with them.
The side story was the worst (for me). I know people go gaga for it, but the side story was 19 chapters of family planning and then children running around being annoying. Not for me.
It felt a bit rushed in the final episodes, especially since we didn’t get the chance to see their wedding, how they spent their honeymoon, or how his parents reacted when she was kidnapped—particularly since they caused such an uproar when she had an accident in earlier episodes. They even hid the letters, so how did her father agree to the marriage so easily?Despite the third season being slower-paced, it would have been better if the work had been more balanced.
She is weak but not "weak" and somehow unique, just I don't like that side stories has so many jumps and timeskips even in one chapter... It feels like mess without enough space...
As other readers have found, the S1 and S2 were pleasant and well made, I would have rated them a full 8. The S3 seems to me to be just a continuous filler to "stretch the stock".
Chapters: 140+19.
In my opinion, a perfect amount of chapters to develop a well-made story and characters, alternating mini breaks with important plot points and various developments.
Story:
As already pointed out by other readers, the first two seasons are excellent, almost 8/8.5 as a rating.
The third season however had a collapse.
Isekai of a girl who enters the world of a Novel due to an accident and who wants to change fate, but to save all the characters from meeting their end.
Nothing new, it's true, but it's very pleasant.
Drawings/Graphics:
The graphics, as with the story, took a decline in S3.
Having to divide:
S1&S2: Excellent design and well cared for
S3 + Side Stories: Simplified and not very detailed, with colors that seemed flat in some places.
Final Reflection:
Would I recommend this manhwa? Yes ✔️ (S1&S2) and No ❌(S3).
Would I read it again? No ❌.
So early on I really loved this, it was fluffy, some plot was heavier but it was weighed out fine, I enjoyed it. It wasn't perfect by any means but it was enjoyable. Mostly light read with fairly nice art.
But then came S3. Looking at others' reviews I can see I'm not the only one that got disappointed there. It honestly felt like it wasn't even the same writing, it was just a hot mess, characters changed (in a bad way), were no longer likeable and I just wanted to see it to the end as I was quite invested but chapter by chapter went by and NOTHING HAPPENED. It just felt like waste of my time. S1-2 already had good amount of plot holes but I could overlook them here as I enjoyed the rest. S3? Plot trenches. And the art also got generic and quite meh.
My S1-S2 rating was 8.6 and that's the only reason I have kept it at what it is because if I were to rate S3 alone, it would be maybe 4.
The characters are annoying. One can't tell if this is a serious story or a nonsense story.
Multiple times the plot hinges on the father of the MC being a doofus and no one doing anything.
The MC's character is all over the place. She is straight forward and bright, but also is afraid of crowds, or attention and doesn't communicate with her friends and family due to previous life trauma. How do all these jell together ? Her behaviour just swings between these states randomly.
Making matters worse, she is also pretty silly and incompetent. I'm not looking for a girl boss, but following this fool around is also tiring. She feels guilty for not being the person that inhibits the body, but it doesn't go anywhere. She doesn't act on this feeling and it is unclear how it affects things. So her family and friends do something dumb, she gets angry, then she understands she is a fool that didn't explain anything to her family so they are only partly at fault, feels guilty and does nothing. So nothing happens for a while. Then a new thing happens and it is also similarly nonsensical.
Some of the things she hides from her family just seem impossible to hide.
The story is just bad, so the fact it is so very long, makes it unbearable.
The fluff is above average. The art is only mediocre though, see if you like it.
The male MC was fine, but started showing early signs of an annoying simp, because only a fool could take the FMC seriously.
Just that.
Absolutely loved season 1&2. Season 3 just seems like a billion filler chapters arguing the same stupid points, ML becomes a complete sniveling mess. It feels like the author promised x number of chapters to the publisher, and has abruptly alluded to the end we all know is coming, and is just now dragging it out needlessly, at the expense of keeping true to character development. It's extremely painful and I've been screaming at my phone to just GET ON WITH IT
