Sienna, who faces death after a miserable life, hears shocking words from Daisy, her best friend.

“Why are you going already? I wanted to see you live like this more.”

“……What?”

“You’ve done a great job being my best friend. It was pretty fun seeing you working hard as my servant, my underling.”

After I realized that I had been fooled by someone that I trusted for the first half of my life, like a miracle, a second chance of life has come.

Sienna’s sweet revenge, who’s been an underling all her life, begins.

I'm only on chapter 24 but wanted to note my thoughts. So far it is ok but frustrating, with unrealized potential.

FL Sienna was really gaslit by ogFL Daisy in past life, so her self esteem must have been really low to not see how manipulative and arrogant Daisy was. In these early chapters it's so obvious I can only think that Daisy had already made her accept being 'below' her. Only on her deathbed does Daisy fully drop her mask and make her contempt so obvious that the FL realizes.

I... more>> can accept that, but when FL wakes up in the past she decides to make Daisy feel betrayal the same way. I don't agree and don't think it would ever work - Daisy is a narcissist who only thinks of herself; especially since FL is making changes to how she acts, Daisy will never feel that sense of betrayal. Knowing this, I wish FL would also be clear in cutting Daisy off. It makes her feel passive in dealing with Daisy.

Also, though Sienna died as an adult she still lacks commonsense after regressing. When a room is on fire, don't waste time debating what to do, run and raise the alarm! Make a lot of noise so servants come and help! Don't try to be a hero yourself when you're in a big evening dress.

Also the MLs place in the former life doesn't make sense to me yet, hopefully it will be explained. <<less

Seeing all the good reviews, I thought the book was a banger.

But 18 chapters later, here I am, writing my first ever review on novel updates, just so people know how much of a let down this book is.

The pros :

... more>> - The chapters are nor too long nor too short

- The characters (especially the villainess) are not too dumb (e.g: Daisy isn't easily convinced by mc's endless praises of count george), at least compaired to chinese novels.

The cons :

- The author likes to have MC monologue a lot.

Most of the chapters are filled with mc's inner monologues and backstory exposition instead of dialogues or actions.

- The MC is annoying.

While I can understand why young, naive and lonely MC put up with daisy in her past life and enjoyed being her bestfriend, now that she came back in time and knows what she knows, I don't GET why she still puts up with that fake friendship.

And don't even come at me with that flimsy excuse the MC spouted :" I just want to understand why she treated me this way."

NO ! YOU don't need to get along with her to know that. Isn't it obvious if one thinks carefully about it, that she did it all because she needed some sidekick ?

Even MC herself realised it at some point, but still put up with daisy.

Honestly I don't get the appeal of such a relationship.

It doesn't benefit her that much, it doesn't makes her go over her past trauma (no, dissing and humiliating someone who hurts you doesn't heals you. It makes you feel better momentarily but it doesn't heal you from the fear of betrayal).

- The author didn't use Mc's backstory properly.

Tell me, would someone who has
Spoiler
[collapse]
been betrayed by her bestfriend want to make new friends as soon as they can (without even carefully selecting said friends) ?

Would someone who has been betrayed by her husband stay still and not prepare any contingency plans (such as looking for independance or inheriting the family) before being forced into a marriage which's outcome might be similar ?

Would sommeone who has been emotionally betrayed and used to that extent, who had seen even her family fall, stay still and not form any plan ?

But, as strange as it May seem, the author didn't think of this at all and only focused the plot on MC getting revenge on daisy (at leats as far as I read) .

- The other characters could have been more fleshed out.

Honestly seeing daisy and learning about logan's backstory made me hope for them to be exploited in a better way by the author.

But chapters passed and nothing really interesting was done.

- MC and daisy are eighteen ?

I 'm sorry but reading through this, I had a hard time believing MC was actually thirty mentally, much less that she and daisy were eighteen.

They read like 12 years old characters.

- I don't see where this all is going.

When I read a book, I try 10 chapters and if I'm not convinced, I leave it at that. But this book had such great reviews that persevered through it.

But it's too much now!

This all feels like MC is just going with the flow and that irks me. Especially so, because of her past, which should have made her yearn for more control over her own life!

All in all it's juts a big disappointement for me.

And before someone tells me I should read more, I'll tell you this, NO, I won't. The first chapters of a book are supposed to hook readers.

If I'm already so irritated by them, why should I waste time and energy and patience wainting to get to the good part, while I can just go read a better story ?

Have Nice day / night ^^ <<less

This is actually good. I thought this is just typical drama or something like most Korean novels are. But there's comedy, romance, and a bit of drama. I also have a friend just like Daisy always getting credit from someone else's hard work. Grrrr. She's so frustrating! I want this Daisy to get owned by Sienna! Also, Sienna's always calm but her internal monologue is so hilarious. I like the ML too. He's stoic, but softhearted. I love this novel!

I'm really enjoying this so far. I'm going through friendship struggles myself, although they pale in comparison to what Sienna has gone through. I love that her tense relationship with her "friend" takes center stage. Its very interesting to see how Sienna deals with Daisy's toxic nature at every step. I've been looking for a light novel that scratches that itch to deal with this kind of scenario. If you enjoy reading about a protagonist that uses her experience from the past to outwit someone she once considered a friend,... more>> please give this a read. So far, there hasn't been any romance but there looks to be development towards this. <<less

There is hope offered in comments but first 6 chapters I want to slap the MC more than Daisy. I hate convoluted -I'll suffer_ for now-... type revenge plots. Who cares why THOT was a THOT. Why bother being in her taint company. Why let your family and staff think of her as ANYTHING for even 20 seconds longer.

The more you let others think good of a person like that the more weight their word against you has. Just burn the bridge NOW! (been there, done that, bought the... more>> tshirt, burned the bra) <<less

sienna used to be naive but her personality changed because of her hatred toward daisy and count page. Although I said her personality changed, she still stayed calm and didn't burst w/ anger every time she saw the same scene of daisy being shameless and b*tch.

so far I'm enjoying this novel because both MC and ML are interesting. They respect each other and showed interest too. From 13 chapter, it already shown that the author can make your mood up and down by the plot. Although it has the same... more>> premise as "Dear My Friend" this one has its own uniqueness. I feel like it's josei instead of shojo bcs Sienna is so mature and her situation before is too much for a genre as shoujo. <<less

Surprised I didn't write a review when I first read it. It's a very interesting novel and exploration of a fake friendship.

On the one hand the Daisy - Sienna dynamic is what makes this novel. Sienna slowly undoing Daisy and finding her own happiness, is great fun to watch. On the other hand Daisy as a character is too much. She's unrealistically knowledgeable to the point it's completely inconsistent and unsettling. The author needed to do more with the scenes where she is being written as ridiculously focused.

Overall: It's very... more>> readable so far and has possibilities for improvement. <<less

I wish Sienna saw her own worth in her past timeline too. I thought she was maybe being isolated socially but it seems only Daisy and, much later, Page were treating her poorly. We need more explanation on how she became completely isolated from others by Daisy. Why make that choice if others are willing to engage with you? Even if she thought Daisy was her good friend, why did she choose so early on (age 18) to accept her as her only friend? She had a loving family and we can see now she's able to engage with others without awkwardness (she's not suffering from extreme social anxiety). So what gives?

The ML is such a cinnamon roll. His clueless actions are too funny! He just looks cold lol. Every time FL meets him, she meets new sides of him and becomes speechless. The misunderstandings are hilarious! When the ML will get to know the truth in the future, I think he might die from embarrassment.

Really enjoyable, and the main antagonists feel actually real, rather than caricatures ready for their faces to be slapped.

Spoiler below re: my insights to main antagonist Daisy

... more>>
Spoiler

Daisy is not a villain just for the sake of being a villain, she is selfish and self absorbed and very clearly doesn't see anything wrong in doing what she thinks will get her ahead in life. She's competitive and c*cky and sly and you won't like her as a character because you know what she's like-- but you can see why other aristocrats are impressed with her in general.

Our FL is acting in a way after regression that shows just how much Daisy used to use her as a yes-man prop to get away with whatever kind of attitude she wanted to give, say what she wanted, do what she wanted. But neither she nor Daisy are godly in what they are doing, you see the logic and the schemes in the story and that's what makes this really enjoyable.

[collapse]

I really enjoy the pacing with the romance as it is plot focused and a very sweet realization of feelings. It doesn't steep itself in the usual cliche of misunderstanding or miscommunication and is honestly refreshing, very good.

I'm up to ch99 and I think what I like most about this story is that our FL is legitimately trying to live a better life, and not using her whole life to get revenge.

She doesn't LIKE Daisy and still if the opportunity arises to ruin one of her schemes she does so, but the whole story is about FL's growth and her using some of her foreknowledge of significant events (given that it's been a decade, Yeesh what a memory you'd need to have) to make things better... But better doesn't have to include Daisy, it often means better for others.

10/10 will likely trtead when it's done, translator has been doing a fantastic job! <<less

The author needs more time to describe location descriptions, some slight world building. Honestly, the writing feels lacking. I hoped there were more descriptions of a tall structure that had a history of something cool, or something that describe the layout of the MC's home or room.

Despite lacking good description, the MC's character growth matches well with her impatience to get revenge, and spoiling it herself with her impulsive actions. This is actually a good thing. It shows how the MC can't handle pretending anymore to be kind... more>> to someone she hates, and it makes her more rich in character. Not many people can keep their head above smoke that suffocate them.

The MC encouraging and humouring the "commoner" is also funny. She's respectful and open-minded, she doesn't mind accompanying her friend to the library. Although she knows his secret identity, she's willing to help him hide it. In this way, she's very down-to-earth, and a good friend. It's good that she hasn't lost part of her kindness in the past-future.
