He only becomes interested in the FL of each life time after she has transmigrated into the body -a small detail which I dearly appreciate. In later chapters, he gains/recovers memories of the previous lifetimes -including the original plot, through dreams.
[collapse]2. Bitter Romance? An imbalance relationship where one loves the other more. Indeed, the formulation for angst.3. Multiple Time-Lines Subplot? FL narrates with reoccurring flashbacks, dreams and mentioning of previous lifetimes, which adds an of element of excitement to the pacing of the novel.The time progression was quite confusing at times, it was difficult to make sense of when the time jump started or ended, but this may be the fault of the formatting from the raw site I was reading from.SpoilerAt first I found the transmigration setting quite redundant, however, the author interwove that nicely to the plot towards the end explaining for FL's predetermined character death every lifetime.
With that being said, the FL's character is fated to die on same date at any month, so how does FL escape this conundrum in the 3rd lifetime? This was glossed over with one sentence by the author but I would have liked a few more lines of explanation considering it's importance to the story.
[collapse]4. Happy Ending? Dark all throughout but ends on a sweet note!! Minor criticism:SpoilerThe author would conveniently conjure up skills for the FL, brushing it off as a talent belonging to herself before she transmigrated into the book. Even more comical is that, this skill will have zero relevance to the progression of the plot (?), and five chapters later it will never be mentioned again (???). Felt like this was an unnecessary inclusion to the novel
Then again, if I wanted to read a literary masterpiece, I would not have chosen this novel
