Also wish someone would react to the fact that the MC, who supposedly couldn't get into high school because of her terrible grades and lack of ambition, is suddenly able and willing to read long complicated books and help the children with their studies.

I wish they'd do more with her skill to paint that she supposedly was interested in. She apparently can make extremely lifelike paintings and cartoons that the husbands begs for, but she's just like "Nah I'm lazy. Maybe later." and then almost never does it again. What even was the point? She has all the power and money in the house, doesn't have to do anything while her husband works like crazy and she can't even give him something SHE ENJOYS MAKING...

Once when their father is gone on a mission, he will ask the FL to cook for their children. But once in the morning the FL never wakes up and the children keep telling her they are hungry. The youngest is just 3yrs old and they eat only twice a day. Once at lunch and one dinner. So the last time the children ate were dinner and its past 12 at noon and the children will be very hungry. But the FL doesn't care at all. And the FL is from modern times where eating 3 times is normal and 3yr child is taken more care with different food and other things. I was shocked at this point. I couldn't even imagine how anyone could not care and sleep when a 3yr old is crying that he is hungry without feeling an ounce of guilt. Its basic humanity.

In a gathering, the original FLs sons will be calling her mom but the FLs children will be calling her step-mother. When asked about it the FL tells she doesn't really care about it as she is not their mother. So everyone starts thinking how the FL made sense and suddenly the original FL becomes some manipulative person who has made her children to start calling her mom already. Does this make any sense? The original FL cooks for them takes cares of all their house work, helps them with homework and takes care of every aspect, there is nothing wrong with calling her mom. She deserves it.

As she died of overwork she just wants to become a relax in her new life, and takes it as a chance to mushroom her way through things. The reviewer mentioned MC's sleeping habits, and her alienation and indifference to the other characters, erasing the fact that she's shown as a person going through depression and self isolation, coupled with her awareness of being in a novel and somewhat controlled by the plot, naturally she doesn't think much about the people around her. As she gets closer to her new family, she starts caring more and not sleeping as much. It is mentioned that she spent some time in the novel, that after interacting with the family she ended up in and trying to change the plot, everything ended up useless, so she'd given up and turned into a bed bug. Clearly showing her mental state and explaining her behavior. The reviewer also mentioned her schooling and supposed OOC behaviour. Firstly, grades have nothing to do with a person's interest in reading or their cleverness? Also, it had already been established that she was always considered very clever by people of her village, even more so than her cousin who was a hs graduate, which is one of the thorns in the cousin's heart, not that it has much to do with her reading, as reading doesn't really even need to be 'explained' to others, and finishing middle school is seen as not bad education status anyway. As for the strange way the reviewer mentioned her refusing to give birth to children, I have to admit I don't really even understand this being mentioned? -Here is where the reviwer's opinions bleed into the review wink wink- Her reasons were mentioned many times in the novel, and even if she had no reason other than I don't wanna it would still be enough.

Also curious how it's not OOC for him to read even tho he is also established as a lacking student.

You become nothing but a machine slaving away for them. She was written to show how putting all your focus on driving children to study ruins them, how self comparison to others slowly erodes you into an unrecognizable version of yourself, how by living as a self centered person, unwilling to consider things from other peoples perspective, entirely focused on your own viewpoint, imprisons you in a cage with no companion to share a genuine bond with. As shown by her only interacting with one woman on the entire island because she couldn't make a sincere connection to anyone else, and didn't understand that if you only look at others based on what they can do for you, the only ones willing to stay are people who will also use you and abandon you as soon as you lose that usefulness. She is an incredibly interesting character, and I do agree that it's a pity she wasn't given a positive development after the negative one, but it's also interesting that way.

In the final arc the enjoyment dies down because the son is a huge capitalistic scammer described with nice, beautiful words. I also find it a bit of a pity that the twin who wanted to live a leisurely life by learning agriculture was not shown as smn who managed to run away and follow his dreams. The disappearance of the sneaky twin from the plot was also unsatisfying as I was more looking forward to his just desserts.

Dwarfism is a genetic and hereditary condition, and as an individual, the girl and the family can choose to take it into consideration for marriage. I am not saying if it is right or wrong but its a personal prerogative. But it is in no way okay to isolate someone and bad mouth them for this reason. I hated how they focused on dwarfism more than the apparent sexism in the family. And though the MC did mention not to discriminate, the end of the Sun guy having to move his family because of rumours was uncalled for. Maybe it does happen in real life but I still do not like it being shown in a positive light.

I do not know yet what will happen to the sister but its funny how in transmigration novels, the apparent heroines of novels the MC transmigrate into turn out to be selfish characters. As a fan of transmigration, I'd really love a novel where the heroines turn out to be decent and the MCs can still continue to develop on their own. Cue: Escapism ;)
