I have very mixed feelings for the novel. I'll start from the easiest - translation quality is rather average, up until the new translator (chapter 24).Now for the plot: I have no problems with some elements of the concept. The MC is not very brilliant, has no particular talents but in a way I like it. For once, when she is in a bad situation she cannot save herself with whatever talent (plot convenience) she has - no miraculous medical skills, hidden second ML to the rescue, extraordinary talent to save her. It makes it more realistic - I can believe that she would be stuck in the same situation as in the first lifetime, because with no particular talents and no background there are no many options for young mother of a new-born without father in the picture. So generally, plot works for me, harem intrigue is a bit much, but I've seen much worse, characters are rather logical.The main issue I have with the story is the ML. In the story we can easily see that MC is unwilling to get into relationship and, to avoid spoilers, let's just say that I cannot accept the ML's behaviour and I cannot read them ending up together as a happy ending. To be completely honest I empathize more with other women in the harem (despite them also being faaaar from perfect) than with his behaviour. Maybe he becomes better later, maybe his behaviour improves but I'm not sure if I can work through the current chapters.
