Hmm, I think the other reviewer might have been a bit too harsh. I'm currently on chapter 2, and I think this novel is quite good! It already made me laugh out loud at the scene where and I find the ML's personality intriguing (from what I've seen so far I don't think he's in love with the FL yet? He comes across as

Also for this type of saintess story, I appreciate how this author tried to make it more unique by delving into an aspect of this whole saintess/priest power thing that is seldom explored; instead of healing (at least for now), the FL's ability (as the synopsis mentioned) is more of pacifying and calming down people so it's more refreshing to explore. Regarding the translation quality, I think it's readable but yes, it's awkward at some parts. However, I've read far worse translations so the quality right now is far from making me want to drop it, and hopefully it never will, haha.

I actually liked this story so much! All the characters are so fascinating and complex, with so many of then coming to face harsh reality. That's probably the thing I liked best about this novel. The ML protects the FL a lot, and in return I think her love saves him a bit. He's very calculating, but not ambitious, and she's maybe naive, - don't expect a strong, independent FL - but I think she has a lot of good qualities. I think that all of the characters have been... more>> shaped by their environments, though their innate qualities shine through.

The love was so cute. And referring to another review, tbh what's wrong with the ML liking her from the start? Don't people usually know if they're attracted to someone when they first meet them? I think it's good that the female lead is the male lead's type. He really falls in love with her later because of her actions.

I find him funny because he has no hesitation, he really goes for what he wants with 100% power haha.

And God was really Great and Terrible, it was so interesting to have a god that really felt like one. There were some scenes that really made me shiver.

I'm stuck between giving this a 4.5 and a 4, not perfect because I felt like one or two things were introduced too late or not given enough follow up and the plot wasn't super amazing. But I still really like it, I recommend giving it a try with an open mind and seeing if you like the characters. <<less

the male lead is either secretly vicious or extremely s*upid - he painted a huge target on the MC's back as early as chapter 2 or 3, right after their first meeting. "Oh I like this pink haired, demure girl", he said to reject an obsessive fan who just tried to seduce him.

and I'm not even exaggerating.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️🤦

I feel bad leaving a rating so early on in the story, but blegh. The guy likes her from the start for no obvious reason. And it's written kind of cringey too. The translation feels a bit off too in parts. Not unreadable, but some of the sentence structure is weird.
