From chapter 60:So far I've been enjoying this story. I personally think it does the trope of villainess a lot better than most stories in this genre, where you either have someone reincarnated into a villainess who doesn't understand cause and effect or a villainess who isn't actually evil. In this story the villainess is objectively bad, but you also can understand it. The book does a good job by stating her sins, but never going into specific detail which both enforces that the villainess has done bad things but by not explicitly stating them it prevents her character from being unlikeable. Her personality is one of the first ones for this genre where I could actually understand why she was a villainess, because she has traits like being stubborn to a fault, selfish, ect. where it makes sense for her to be obsessive in love while at the same time this novel balances that with keeping her likable by showing moments on how she actually cares about the MC. There are a few things I slightly dislike with the story, but at this point I don't feel like doing a spoiler to explain and its more of my personal preference on some minor things so it doesn't really matter.Overall this novel feels more to me like a romance/slice of life with a bit of action rather than the typical villainess novel which to me makes it feel fresh. The villainess genre is more being used as a template than following in the tropes that are common in these novels, and I like how it starts after everything went down which actually makes the villainess have a history of doing bad things.From chapter 113:So, after reading further I've started to lose interest in the novel... Its not that the book is bad but more to me it just feels like not much is keeping me hooked. Theres a few threads set up but not enough to where I feel compelled to read the next chapter, and being in this state for a while I just don't feel like continuing.PS: No idea what pekokopiko is going on about... At least from my perspective the story has done plenty to justify its characters motivations and actions. I think they just hate the characters personalities and hence they are calling the entire novel tr*sh. I hope that their review doesn't make anyone not want to read the book since at least to me I don't agree with any of their points.
