this novel is god-tier for me. Now don't get me wrong I love a good face slapper makjang as much as the next webnovel enthusiast, but for me the key difference between this and the other rebirth novels from the same author (that I also liked!!) is that this MC took the rebirth as a chance to develop relationships, which is something she was so deprived of in her first life. Because of this we get all these lovely scenes of friendship, bonding, family and teamwork. She isn't standing coldly above everyone, she needs help and she gets help. When Spoiler
her fellow soldiers follow her to save another city, I just felt such joy in the relationships she's developed with her brothers
[collapse] the characters are nuanced and I do feel like maybe because she didn't reincarnate into her old body but got to qt into someone else, we didn't have to stay with the awful awful people that caused the end of her first life and instead got to see her build relationships and friendships that she was sorely lacking from her first life. Instead of revenge it feels more like a novel about healing, which was what the MC got to do after the trauma of her first life.i read this through a unadvised combination of the translation (lovely!!), some mtl (at times inexplicable) and the raws (challenge rating 1000) but in the end this story was so lovely I couldn't help but continue. Will definitely read again once the translation is done, and what the heck, i'll probably reread it before it's done anyway. Truly just a wonderful novel that I really loved.
