This review is coming from someone who has read the LIGHT NOVEL licensed translations from J-Novel Club. Since this series is getting the webnovel translated as well, I decided to throw my two cents onto here since I see nobody else has yet. I don't plan on reading both versions of the story, so keep in mind that the light novel and webnovel may differ slightly. In this novel, the main character Mia has gone back in time in order to reverse her fate of dying from the guillotine. Mia is no genius or saint, but she is also not a villain whether it is in the past or present. If there is one sin of Mia's, it is her selfishness. Everything she does is for herself (avoiding her death), but along the way Mia also becomes a better person. The comedy from this novel comes from the misunderstandings that ensue. Mia's acts of selfishness are misunderstood by others as acts of genius or kindness. The art (from the light novel) is high quality as well and fits the tone of the novel. After reviewing the most recent translated webnovel chapter, I can tell you that the translations aren't perfect. Some of the sentences are confusing and the grammar is a bit off. It is however better than google translate as it is still somewhat understandable. If you have $7 to throw around, I recommend buying the first light novel volume since it comes with good art, high quality translations, and the story is a lot further along than its webnovel and manga counterparts. For those who cannot afford this, the webnovel translations or even the manga is a good alternative.
