The manhwa has a more slow romance to it, building it more up in the eariler chapters, but I don't hate it. I quite love it! The novel is good too!

Personally, what i'd like to point out first is that, really? Hess being thorn wether she want to go back or not, wether she could accept the reality, and accepting Kaelus feelings, just get resolved like that? Seeing her favourite crying? I mean yeah, I would try to do anything if my favourite cry in front of me like that because of me, but. Really? That's all it took for her to decide she's gonna stay and accept the world as reality? At least if Hess decided that she will accept the world as her new reality, give it another reason. Hess said it herself, even though Kaelus is indeed her only reason wanting to stay in that world, Kaelus is not big enough of a reason in Hess life in real world. Kaelus may be her one and only reason to survive in that world, but he's not her one and only reason to survive in real world. Like, did Hess truly didn't want to go back to reality? Did Hess never considered any of her family, or friends in real world? It's never stated either that Hess living in a difficult life. Not stated that Hess is an orphan or her parents are dead. Never stated anything about having bad relationship with her peer. Is Kaelus really worth that much? It's very disastifying.

Second, the conflict in the end.... I'm pretty damn sure I get what Hess feelings when Kaelus decide that he will not let Diana get abdicated. All of that effort, just for this? I do get however what the author trying to say here. It's not a novel, it's the reality. And reality doesn't have to get that satisfying ends. In fact, it's better to end it peacefully without conflict. I'm fine with that, but... the scene after that? oh god. It felt so boring to get trough. It just aftermath after aftermath. Felt completely pointless, without direction, just happy things in general. It's probably another point the author wants to convey. The ending is not just the evil being defeated and bam, the story ends. There's always continuitation in life. But again, seeing this while I'm still disastified about the previous point? (Hess accepting the world as her new reality) making it more unbearable to read.

Third, I want to know how Diana's doing??? Did she repent? Did she met someone? Did she ever change? How's she doing?? They ended it with "Diana goes back to the temple (or is monastery?? I forgot the words) " and proceeds to never talk about what is she currently doing ever again. I myself, hated a character like Diana, but I would've love to see how she can grow, or maybe not grow at all. Again, I think its another point the author trying to convey: "Diana is not the MC, the world doesn't revolve around her"

This man is not even trying to repay all of those things Hestia do to him before he love her. Wait, he did, only once though. Really. Only once. I did not want to count him crying and begging Hestia to not go as the way he repay her (preventing her death). That did not freaking count.

*SPOILER ALERT* ML is first despondent and super depressed but the FL declares that she loves him and will exact revenge on his behalf while giving him space and encouragement. As she begins her revenge, she communicates her wins which helps him to get out of his depression. He begins to appreciate FL's efforts to exact karma and attain apologies from his first love and his best friend because they fell in love and abandoned him after he killed someone to protect his first love. ML's appreciation grows into respect as FL helps to manage his life and grow their power as nobility while he recovers from depression. I think ML realizes he likes her when he overhears a private conversation the FL has when she is asked if she truly loves the ML and she says yes with no hesitation and has a list of reasons ready. ML begins to let go of his first love as FL shows her competence while also exposing the first love's incompetence as a noble and also how FL is a symbol of hope for the future. FL first loves him as a character from a story and then has to overcome that idea that it is all fiction and that she was worthy to be with him.

Pros: ML and FL are consistent in their motives and honest and as a reader, I enjoyed that the ML and FL communicated openly, honestly and quickly. I had little to no frustration with miscommunication. Entertaining and pleasant smooth journey for main leads beginning to end.

Cons: FL never tells anyone that she's from another world even though she is bothered by it. The reason she ended up in an isekai is also not explained. There is also a lack of development of side characters who I would've enjoyed reading side stories about like the tailor, the butler, the salon lady and the society lady as well as no substantial mention of the impact the FL made by introducing concepts like medical clinics, specialized school for doctors, soap for all or even presentation strategies for documentation and diagrams. There was also a smut scene where the ML forced himself on the FL and was dismissive of her initial pain so I had to skip the scene.

Another reviewer mentioned that the ML stops the FL from completing her revenge by declaring he was against the abdication but if you read carefully, he does it because his best friend, the crown prince, begs him in order to maintain peace and power of the monarchy and it is said that ML truly cares for his country. *SPOILER END*

Diana was generally lovely and kind (at least in front of Helios and Kaelus) but she was a terrible crown princess. She didn't listen to any advice that was contrary to her belief and even forced others to have the same belief as her. Because of that, she received a backlash from the aristocrats who supported the kingdom.

And there's also her past conflict with Kaelus which became thorn in her relationship with Helios. In addition, Hestia came to wreck Helios and Diana's relationship in order to get revenge for Kaelus's past death.

Diana's vague ending. I really want to know her life after leaving the palace but she wasn't mentioned in the side stories.
