Hello! I am Goblin, the translator of this webnovel. I would like to mention here that I will edit the first few chapters again to increase the quality when I have the time. I am currently very busy, but hopefully I will be free soon.

First of all, I would like to point out two major aspects of this webnovel:

    • This is a slice of life novel.
    • This is a fluffy romance novel.
Since this is a slice of life story, it stands to reason that the events would be somewhat random, without any major drama or tension. Yes, the pacing is a bit slow, but its supposed to be that way. So, criticizing it for doing the things it's supposed to do is a bit wrong.

As for the romance aspect of the story, there's plenty of it. This is a slice of life story at its core, and it tries to show the romance between two people who can't be honest about their feelings in a very unique manner. But, we do see the two slowly fall for each other. That's the whole premise of this story

to see how the villainess changes chapter by chapter. And, the story will end when she changes completely.

As for the writing style of the author, I can only say that, I have read a lot worse. The writing is pretty good considering that this is a webnovel. Writing a novel is very hard, so give the guy some credit.

As for my rating for the novel, I'll be giving it a shameless 5 star.

Now, for my translation, you are always welcome to criticize my translation. I am always trying to get better, and I am very regular in my release schedule, I have been that way for two years, and plan to continue as long as I humanly can. So, I would be grateful if you point out any mistakes you might find, I will gladly fix it.

To sum up, read this novel if you enjoy a slow paced fluffy romance story.

That's all from me.

The romance is the main draw of this story, but it's sorely lacking. The progress is glacial. The events all feel random and strung together without much overarching intent. The MC is... bland and pretty useless. The first few chapters emphasize how hard he's worked at swordsmanship and magic, but then the author turns around and makes him incredibly weak.

Spoiler

When he starts teaching the FL magic, she learns things in a day that took him weeks. Same with swordsmanship.

[collapse]

I dropped this when:

... the little girl character from the future appeared. Sloppy time travel is always a turn off, but in an already bad novel, it's the final nail in the coffin.

Its good, really good. From the title I expected your average "Shower the villain/villainess in kindness till they are a good person" trope you see time and time again. This however, is a bit different where the MC is actually mean to the villainess as she is to spoilt from doting parents. This interesting take sets up a refreshing story with good banter between the two main leads. Some qualms I have about this novel is that the MC adapts too easily. Like

Spoiler

After randomly transmigrating into novel he doesn't question anything and just goes along with things, he exercises and practices swordsmanship for 6 months straight vigorously till he has wounds and bruises and on top of that already deals with the villainess scolding while being nice to her and maintaining etiquette. We also don't get any information on MCs past life. Does he miss his parents? What will they think when he's gone? Does he have any lingering attachments? None of this is even glossed over and it would be a interesting plot point the author could of explored to give the MC a bit more depth

[collapse]

This review may be a bit to early seeing as there is only 7 chapters but the novel seems promising and I think needs more attention for its freshness. Side note - the translation is kinda iffy at times sometimes it will have an out of place word or an incorrect sentence no where near the level of MTL though. Some translators think its okay to MTL an novel and call it a translation. Seriously one of my favorite novels was straight up MTLed halfway through the series. IK being a TLer is hard job and all but MTL just ruins the novel and my immersion anyways MTL rant over give this novel a try its worth a read <<less

The ordinary storyline and shallow characterizations make this novel stand out, but the writing skill is what ultimately makes it a success. The sweet and heartwarming romance between the ML and FL is beautifully portrayed and improves as the story progresses. The misunderstanding between the two leads to cute and caring moments, and the cliché ending is made unforgettable by the writer's mastery.

If you're a fan of fantasy romance, this novel will not disappoint and is sure to be a hit with its genre-focused approach

A fun slice of life/romance where two main characters with relatively bad personality make fun of each other.

The personalities of the MC and ML are witty and introspective and its been amusing seeing their relationship blossom so far.

Totally recommend

She has no redeeming qualities for the majority of the novel to this point, and the reveal that's meant to seem like a redemption arc, feels like its not followed up with enough genuine change in the fML character's behavior, nor the protagonist's.

At this point it feels like its falling into a formula and its disheartening to feel like my time was wasted.

1st time of writing a review but it is definitely a 5 star to me. There are minor grammatical errors in some chapters but still better than other translations I've read.

The story is quite good and has a good foundation on the romance part. While others may think that it is slow, I genuinely think it worked for the better.

Spoiler

It's funny how the MC and the FL try to one up each other, while the MC wins most of the time taming the villainess

[collapse]

The misunderstandings is also hilarious and not frustrating.

Spoiler

For example, FL thinking that MC will die due to a medicine in his magic pouch

[collapse]

As for the time travel part, it will be explained later.

Spoiler

How their daughter was actually sent to the past due to MC dying in the original timeline resulting in his father sacrificing his skill and giving the wish to FL. FL then wished MC to have poison magic, make MC's fav theater to be better, and to see their daughter earlier since they haven't had the chance in the original timeline.

This isn't even a novel, it's like an event log.

While I am not exactly a fan of the reincarnated in a medieval world of generic swords and magic, it certainly makes sense as the worldbuilding and setting are pretty much set in stone. There's not a need to expand on a simplistic setting, which is why you can focus on the transmigrated to a otome villain portion. Even then, there is the high school setting for nobles of various countries and peerages to gather around to make the story setting... more>> complete.

So, this novel basically just cuts off all of that. It's all just interaction between our main character and female lead. That's it. There's no school, no side characters, no villains, and nothing. No worldbuilding, the characters do nothing except hang out in their bedroom/house and occasionally go out to eat some sweets. There's no timeline and there's definitely no story to be had. When there is some plot points, it's just haphazardly put together and there's no sense of any underlying plot or setting.

While some of the interactions can be cute, there's just no description and nor is there any other supporting characters to prop the story up. It literally is a bare bones fluffy cute story without anything else. There's magic and there's sword aura, but thats about how much you get to know about the mechanisms of the world. There's no explanation of these phenomenon and that carries out to the rest of the world. I barely even know how big the house these characters live in for the lack of descriptors. <<less

If you are looking for humor. If you're looking for a fluff. If you are looking for a relationship and character development. If you're looking for something light. If you are looking for something really cool translated [Probs for TL]

You found it.

Cool interactions between ML and FL, "We vs world" attitude. A large dose of humor and fluffy chapters.

You can relax and you can break away from the gloomy weather.

No drama, no harems or anything else that can spoil humor.

strong recommendation

Honestly thought it would be mid and that I would get annoyed by the villainess character, but color me surprised I liked it a lot, it went about a different way than I expected and the fluffiness after the whole struggle is worth it... though I wish there was more towards the end... Like about the demon king and stuff... lots of stuff in the world building were never made use of... but I can understand the author wanting to keep it strict to the couples relationship... Anyways I enjoyed... more>> it more than I thought I would~ <<less

This isn't a novel for you to read expecting a long and on edge story or something like that, it's like a breath of fresh air, a pause in between more complicated novels, lots of sweet moments and a good ending, a lot of focus on the romance without complicated dramas, and lots and lots of sugar in the literal and figurative sense, I definitely recomend this one, gibe yourself this breath of pure and fresh air

The description does a pretty good job of describing the relationship dynamic in the novel. Instead of being kind, the MC is mean to the FML. He's already tried being the "nice" guy, but it doesn't work out. Now, it's always about who can one-up the other. FML almost always ends up losing and getting embarrassed. As a result, FML mostly hates MC and wants him to suffer for his wrongdoings. Normally, as a villainess, FML is supposed to be the one bullying MC, but looks like the roles are... more>> reversed. <<less

Yes it does brush over quite a bit of the setting but it's an enjoyable read. I'm not the best at describing romantic relationships but it is similar to the romance in Ending Maker if you've ever read it.

First to clarify it's my first time reviewing a novel.

I did indeed quite enjoyed the story as it was quite a good read to the end, with some ups and downs. Overall I think it's a 4.5/5 recommend giving it a try.

The good things :

  • A fantasy story of love fixing the Villainess in the process.
  • Good scenes with fluffiness and some funny ones.
  • The tease between the two are really entertaining to read.
  • Development of their "relationship" from start to end.
  • A attractive story (You just need to read the description).
The bad things (Spoilers... more>> because it contains some major plots) :

  • Spoiler

    The story feels void from part to part, since they introduce too many plots like the demon king, the mother of MC and some more that needed more explanation

    [collapse]
  • Spoiler

    The time-travel was a bit too bland for my taste with the daughter trying to help MC.

    [collapse]
  • Spoiler

    At the end did MC fix the villainess? I mean at the end I feel more like Shael (Villainess) did the same to Eran (MC) with their love of each other.

    [collapse]
  • Spoiler

    The portrait of Clie (Heroine of the original story) was more of a psycho and manipulative until the end. After her regression she tries to take them down without thinking that anything had changed and still tried to her bitter end.

  • Spoiler

    Did the mage tower lord ended with the crown prince? Don't be a coward, author.

It's not kind of novel I normally read but I somehow enjoyed it! It's a rather slow paced slice of life story with comedy and a lot of fluffy/sweet moments along with a happy ending. Probably word that sums it up best is wholesome.

The novel is a story of two people, the MC and well the villainess. A story of changing the ways of the foul-mouthed villainess and honestly I would say it did its job in that department, really well. The novel is comedic wherein you would see funny and cute development between the two wherein you could see the results as their relationship is quite dynamic. However, keep in mind what I say when it's a story of TWO people. I could ltierally use one hand to count the number of... more>> named and impactful characters and aside from the villainess and the MC, dont expect character development as the other characters still hold the same personality and depth as when they are first introduced. It is clear that the author focused more on the relationship rather than the world however it is worth a shot to consider reading becuase I was entranced in the story and read it all in jsut one-seating. It doesn't need a complex world to deliver something better than most in this genre.

Here is a list of Cons and Pros I personally find important:

Spoiler

PROS

-MC's personality is fit for the role he has in the novel

-Villainess' is adorable

-Their relationship dynamic is always changing having ups and downs

-The results of MC's efforts is recipocrated to the audience with its satisfaction and cuteness

-It is honestly comedic and I found my self laughing or just smiling while reading, especially when the villainess opened up to the MC

CONS

-Severe lack of world-building (literally almost only 10 characters were mentioned in figure and like 6 were named, heck aside from the MC and villainess, Ciel (the protagonist of the orginal story), their respective fathers, the Mage Tower guy and the Crown Prince were actually affecting the plot in a meaningful way

-It has magic, I forgot sometimes.

-Mechanics of the system of the world was completely and utterly disregarded: how does magic work, its limits? What in the world is a magic circle? Yeah, SEVERE lack of world-building. (I wanted to emphasize that)

-MC lowers in IQ points when he tries to handle the Villaines' jealousy when it came to her and his relationship with the protagonist (that was the only thing that did really bother me)

[collapse]

Personally though, the translations were fine. For the plot, I could understand it plot rather I just needed to stop reading for a moment to organize it in my head. But others seem bothered / a little confused by it? So just keep that in mind when you do give time to read it.

Spoiler

Duke Jesperen, best character >:) Actually my spirit animal

A fairly standard kuudere romance comedy, but I ended up dropping it. The translation's very stiff and awkward to read, though. The TL should probably get a proofreader (if this isn't a machine translation).

The start was pretty interesting. Yet in the long run, it became chaotic and boring and long winded. Shael has no apparent character development. Everything she does is for cookies or sugary products. Their daughter time travelling back was quite abrupt and

Anyways, reading it like this feels like a waste of time. So I'll just read the last 3 4 chapters and consider it complete.
