The relationships between the characters are endearing (for the first 400 chapters) and people just love to dote on our MC. Although it's repeatedly mentioned that MC is sweet and kind, she tends to be arrogant and insidious as well. This I find off-putting at times bc everyone sees her as an angel, but her actions are really unkind sometimes. The young MC is so adorable and I especially enjoyed reading that part of the story. The antagonists are very dumb and persistent. They have no character development whatsoever and they just keep doing dumb things throughout the story. MC is the ultimate genius so every subplot relating to her academics is too predictable. I even directly skipped chapters when there are competitions or any academic showdowns going on and it did not affect how I received the plot bc these scenes are just there to make MC more 'perfect.'I have to say that I made it to 580 ch. Which means I enjoyed reading it. I don't know what to rate this novel tbh bc I enjoyed the first half but I will drop this now bc I can't help but feel uncomfortable when the romance started between MC and ML. There were parts dedicated to defending their relationship, like how ML is not a pe*vert and he did not groom her or how MC has a previous life so she's not really a 'child.' But I just can't find it in me to enjoy the story further bc it's a 27 y/o dating an 18 y/o and unlike other stories with a big age gap, he did not even wait for her to become 'more grown' - they already did 'it' while she's 18.
