Starts out very well, and the interplay between the three stories makes for a somewhat novel, well, novel. But the novel loses steam and goes downhill in the later chapters.

First, as you see more of the FMC in the different lives, although the author continually notes that even the same version of the FMC changes character / personality in a different run, they have one commonality - they are somewhat s*upid and spoiled - think Buttercup from the Princess Bride novel (not the movie version). Second, the author turns the MC s*upid in the latest run, making the MC adopt the genius idea of having to get the FMC to hate him. It's contrived, its inconsistent, it doesn't fit the plot, and it has no possibility of working. So it's that classic, poisonous trope of "turn the MC s*upid to create dramatic tension."

I will keep reading for now, but will drop if it continues in this vein.
