Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Her mother was the only missing daughter of the Grand Duke of the Empire.
But when the Duke found her, she had already passed away.
All that remained was me, who had been left unattended for 14 years.
“I’m sorry, sir. Cornelia Crichton is dead.”
“Hey, what the hell is this? Cornelia is dead?”
I thought it would be revenge for her to disappear quietly without revealing my identity.
But before I could leave, I was killed.
It was right after she found out that it was her uncle who manipulated her mother into dying in agony.
‘This kid is a huge hindrance to my control of this mansion. Just die quietly.’
***
I wish I had died like that, but for some reason, I went back to when I was nine when my mother was still alive.
So that’s why I…
“There is someone in this mansion who stole letters from Mom.”
The 2nd round of her life.
She was determined to protect her mother and rescue her poor grandfather. Then-
“Baby, I bought a gold mine for you. All the gold from there will be used for you.”
Archduke Crichton, eager to buy anything,
“Baby, if the crown prince behaves rudely, tell me.”
“You’re my little sister from now on.”
A friendly uncle came with a cousin. That was not enough
I just wanted to protect my mother and live happily, but even the unplanned mercenary king came to me saying he would repay the favor?

This novel suffers from the so-called "First-person narrative that fails to express the character's personality and individuality".
This kind of problem is a bit frustrating as it's hard to empathize with the person narrating as they don't seem to have a personality, just narrating a series of neutral thoughts.
As the other review mentioned, with this kind of story it's important to identify with the MC, as everything revolves around her, and the reader wants to root for her success. But when she describes everything in a robotic tone it's a little frustrating. And no, it's not part of shy, cold or calculating personality, it's just... lack of a well-defined voice for the character, a problem that I find A LOT in novels narrated in first person. We can only see the world through the eyes of the character who is narrating, and if that character doesn't carry her own perspective and personality, everything else seems insufficient as well. In third person, the narrator has the freedom to better describe the main character's reactions and expressions what ends up fleshing out the character. But in first person, the main character is observing and describing others, so it makes it more difficult to define her own personality, since we don't see her "as others see her". The other characters being described by the MC are more defined than her and I have a good idea of who they are, but not her. To avoid this problem, usually, what we see is the character's internal conflict, which teaches us about her, or their thoughts lead us in the direction of the character's personality, something like a vivacious character often thinking funny things, or a cold character choosing to ignore someone's words, but in this case her internal monologues are more clinical and practical, again, robotic. So it's rare that we see something that makes us get attached to MC.
It's funny that this type of novel when adapted to manga/manhwa has a great chance of being better, because the illustration adds emotions and reactions that were not expressed in the writing Sorry if I seem like I'm making an unnecessary explanation even though I'm not an expert by any means, 😅 it's just that I thought about it a lot when I read "The Man Picked Up By the Gods" which suffers from the same problem, but in the manga, the series was well represented and flows a lot better.I just wanted to put that feeling into words.
