One of the best novels I've read lately!This one's more slow-paced and focuses more on growth and character development. Which I personally like. I know most rofan readers like fast development and stuff but this story is still a pretty good read despite the slow pace.I also like how realistic it is in regards to the relationship between thr FL and her father. It will take a while for the both of them to warm up to each other, especially after being indifferent for years, but that's what makes me like this novel more.Spoiler
The father will soon realize that he's a piece of sh*t for the way he treated her and regret it but by then Jayna feels totally indifferent to him as a father and considers him like a landlord lol. Serves him right hmp.
[collapse]I really like how the FL isn't "Even though you hate me, you're my dad and you have no choice but to fall for my cuteness uwu!" but is instead "Even though you're my father, you seem to hate me so there's no reason for me to like you and treat you like a father, right?" Not that there's anything wrong with the first one, it's just that most korean rofan with kid MCs that I've read are like that and while that's okay, I personally vibe with the latter one more (speaking from experience lol).Also, although it wasn't explicitly mentioned, the FL is someone who has trauma related to family. I think some people might not like how she comes off as a person who doesn't care whether she dies or not and doesn't care about her other people in general (especially in the earlier chapters) but if you consider her backstory then it's a normal response. It's not like she has no backbone either. She knows how to stand up for herself when she wants to. (It's just, , she sometimes just doesn't care if other people try to insult her... Which I personally like about her actually. Haha.) The whole novel (I think) will focus more on relationships and bonds between family & friends for the most part. As well as growth and how one's environment can influence their growth too. Plus how the characters deal with their traumatic experiences (sometimes, people don't deal with their trauma in a healthy way and we see that here). It's not an action/adventure kind of story though I think there will be some action sprinkled here and there. It's a slow development story too.Overall, I think it's pretty well-written. The characters' thoughts and emotions can be clearly read. The world building is slightly lacking but then again the FL lives in a tower so it can't be helped that's what we'll mostly read about.
