I really like how this author's intros are so quick. Regardless of the reviews, I definitely recommend reading at least the first handful of chapters since just that will give you an idea of whether you want to keep reading or not. You immediately get thrown into the story and drama, so within a few chapters you already understand the story and your first opinion of the characters is already firmly set.Like I always say, I really like this author's world building and way of writing characters. I came here after reading GNU and IBTSOME, so it was a shock to see MC, who is completely different. She grew up loved but lost everything in a series of bad events. She wasn't trained from birth to be a proper lady, so she's feisty and somewhat shameless. She also doesn't have any time travel/reincarnation knowledge this time, so she's genuinely completely clueless and can't even scheme her way out. Where IBTSOME's MC is a white lotus and GNU's MC is a blackbelly green tea bit*h (saying this affectionately), this MC is a transparent commoner. (And while I'm talking about the MCs, I also want to mention that the CP this time is also funny to watch interact.) I will admit that, as some other people have mentioned, the world building seems somewhat off. On the surface it's very intriguing, but when you look closer at some details it doesn't seem to make sense. Anyway, although there are a lot of chapters, the contents of the plot only spans a short amount of time with a few events (at least compared to other novels), so the iffy details can be overlooked.
