The story concept as exaplined in the first chapter or so is such: The FL is an NPC in an RPG game and she first meets the protagonist of the game when the villagers force her into a dangerous dungeon even though she is a support mage with no offense or defence capabilites somehow so she is basically a sacrifice. The protagonist arrives just in time to save her, she helps him and they join together, years pass, they fight the demon lord, then the world reverts, but before the world reverts the FL and the protagonist agree to meet again.

The protagonist betrays her, but really he just decided not to come to the dungeon again, the one who allowed herself to be led to a dungeon where she can only die for the second time is the FL. Why would she do that ? Even if she knows she will probably survive, why take the risk? She even explicitly said she could have avoided being led to the dungeon, but decided not to...

Moreover, since they agreed to meet again, wouldn't the protagonist come at least a day before she almost dies ? Once he didn't arrive before the critical life-threatning moment, isn't this an obvious sign he won't be coming at all ? Why would they even decide to meet in the dungeon just because this is what happened the last time? We know he came back significant amount of time before, since he made enough actions for the Duke (the MC) to notice he remembers his past life. Out FL is a neglected child hated by her entire village (because of course she is), why didn't she ask him to come as soon as possible ?

Also, the trope support magic would be considered useless and be actively despised is killing me. In a farming village, someone being able to cast buffs and healing spells should be 100 times more useful then someone who can throw a fireball. What am I gonna do with a fireball in the field ?

Another example is that somehow she spent years with a company of people including the protagonist, supporting them with magic all the time in extremely difficult battles providing strategy and magic buffs, but no one noticed and they don't appreciate her at all, feeling only disdain for her. Disdain! How is that even possible ? Is there no one that was saved because she cast Haste or Heal on them ? This is just the dumbest trope. And she didn't care! She didn't care people treated her like sh*t for years (!) because time will reset. Who is willing to be treated like sh*t for years just because of that ? Especially when presumably it should be "easy" to fix since in her eyes, the protagonist did appreciate her. Why wouldn't she ask him to say/do something ?

This is like the opposite of victim blaming, where a person just begs to be a victim, refusing to do even the most basic mundane things any non braindead human being or just mammal would do. Like advocating for youreslf or getting angry when facing injustice. If you are this empty of a vessel, why did she even hide information from the protagonist in the first place ? If she trusted him so completely... obvioulsy she didn't, but then... why... Why?

This kind of lazy dumb writing is everywhere, all the time. Just annoying.

I absolutely love seeing reverend August's exasperation towards the realization that his superior has absolutely zero EQ while going jealous husband mode towards Jun.

My boy Mayer is someone with, unexpectedly, low self-esteem and zero knowledge about love due to his tragic childhood. And seeing him slowly learning about his feelings towards Jun is just so cute and moving I totally feel like a mama bear.

in the canonical timeline it takes about a month or two, but the author is so generous with timeskips that it's usually resolved either within or slightly over a chapter.

Jun doesn't really interact with any of them outside of Sevi.

His main role in the novel is to mediate between the leads. That's because his character archetype is a stoic guy that is very blunt. Thankfully he isn't there to create a love triangle, because the author always emphasises through his dialogue that his only love is praying and St. Marianne. He's either used as a gag (i.e. Jun finds him weird because he somehow manages to justify all his actions in the name of god he worships) or a someone who spurs Jun to take action to improve her relationship with Meyer. I wish we learned more about his backstory (there is none), but there's nothing to him aside from he is Very Religious and has Dry Humor.

I wish the author used him more to expound on the Magic Lore since he likes to talk about magic so much. I also wanted the author to address what he does/how he feels after the war, especially since St. Marianne said that magic would eventually die out since she's no longer around to give blessings to people. Not to mention, there was so much of him nagging Jun to go dungeon crawling with him, but it never actually happens. Even the fake dating arc was boring because the author didn't write about whether he and Jun spent time together, let alone the details of their fake relationship (like. Not even a mention of how they started dating aside from "6 months ago"). If you're gonna include a fake dating arc then at least let it have some impact on the story, or include some funky dialogue about them coming up with the fake deets. It didn't even further the Jun-Meyer relationship because Meyer knew it was fake the whole time GAHHHHH. Anyway. Axion is just a silly little guy and I wanted to know more. Alas, he was relegated to the Jester role.

I liked Tragula. He was someone who was shackled by his past mistakes, and I'm happy that he was able to break free from his abusive relationship with that weird countess. I especially enjoyed the few paragraphs in the last side story, about him and his son :]

Nawt gonna lie. I laughed when it was revealed she was just a Jun enjoyer in her previous life. The whole reason she transmigrated was because she was the only one who finished the game with a max-level support wizard in her party. All because she liked Jun. She's so Real. I, too, keep characters in my main roster because I like them, and not for the stats.

maybe i'll get hit by a truck too and become sylvain jose gautier fire emblem because I kept him in rotation for every battle

He's like. Perfect. He respects Jun and her boundaries, and the memorandum thing about only dating after defeating the demon king was so funny. Me personally I would not sign that but I suppose he loved her enough to wait for her. It's sweet but also kind of pitiful how he molds himself into Jun's ideal type after he asks her about it though. Every interaction after she answers his ideal type question is just like. He hears that she likes obedient men so he stops voicing his concerns. I suppose it's because he trusts her more, but I just don't really like the idea of it? It's also funny that he basically becomes a trophy husband by the end of the novel. Like slayyy keep on earning money with your black knight merch? Good on him for finding a purpose outside of dungeon crawling I guess?? It felt like he became a gag character at the end of the novel. That is his fate as a puppy dog male lead I suppose.
