but the same thing will happen to her! She dies miserably!

near the end of the story, the story started to focus more on romance. And Ash' focus seems to be more on romance instead of just survival. It doesn't help that the ML is not that likeable. What does she really want? To survive? Experience romance? Just plain protection from the ML? Or more?

And I will never understand the love story between her and ML. ML seems to be trying so hard to appear romantic, his dialogs are extremely cheesy.

He love Ithica, then after she passed away he started to miss her and then started to miss the OG Ash, and then went obsessed with her: "Everything I do is for her. All that I have is for her. I am her s*ave" - it's just so annoying to read his dialogs. And that's how he felt for OG Ash, before he met with FL in Ash body.

So, after spending time with this current Ash (FL), he fell for her again. He just kept falling for anyone related to Ithica: Ithica>OGAsh >FL

And FL who seems so hungry for love just accepted that.

He knew she doesn't have her memory, she doesn't remember anything- so instead of telling her information about herself, he decided to keep it - afraid of telling her bcoz apparently she was in love with someone else and he do not want her to remember!! - It feels like he just manipulated her and took advantage of the fact that she remembers nothing so he can keep her. When she told him about what she knew about his family (that he and Caesar are half brothers), he was so scared: "Ash, I thought you lost your memory?" and again, doesn't want to tell her anything until she started to make him talk. Imagine how easy her life will be, if he just told her everything.

And there was even a scene where he told her "I love you. Even if you don't have the face that I miss the most" - so in the end he still miss Ithica the most.

He needs therapy and learn how to move on properly without using anyone as a substitute. He is just using her to fill in his longing for Ithica and FL who seems hungry for love - just fell for it.

Yes, he was kind, yes he was sweet, yes he will do everything for you but are you really okay with that kind of love? Klein would've been more likeable if he had a character development and stick to his love for Ithica or allowed himself to move on properly. After all, he romanticized his love for Ithica so much and the author even stated that Ithica's name was inspired by Ithaca, the homeland of Odysseus and the place where his lover waited for him until he returns from war, see how even her name fits the hero of their Kingdom? (Klein)

So, I honestly think it will be more romantic if Klein just died in the end of the novel, get buried next to her (since that is his dream) and meet with Ithica in the afterlife (instead of Mio dying of old age and met with Ash and then have an open ending)

I think the story would be if MC just fulfilled her role and returned to her world without that love. Near the end of the series, the FL seems empty to me.

The main charm of this series is her wholesome relationship with Ciel, Mio and the prince. They were like a family despite not being blood related. But the author decided to change that trio and that's when it started to lose it charm.

The villains were okay. I honestly love Yurigel as a villain. He didn't appear much but each time he appear, he doesn't look scary nor showing that "I am villain" face and he wasn't even trying hard to look bad. He was just there always looking pretty. Which makes you understand why others like him.

Because in the end, he didn't really hurt anyone or bullied anyone- except of course the Queen and FL. To other people around him, he was kind and caring. In the end, you will realized that yes, he may have bullied the Queen and FL but hey - all he was trying to do is to survive. He just wanted to live. And then, in the end - you get that question- why didn't he harm the FL when he knew from the start that she will ruin his plan? Why did he bully fl? He could of pretended to be nice to her so she will not end up doing anything against him but he did and he didn't stop her despite knowing she was doing things behind his back.

King stayed true to his character. Just like many ML who will do everything for love. The king was a bad husband but he wasn't a bad king, so it explains why his people loved him. Even FL was able to go against him because she trusted the fact that he wasn't a tyrant. Of course, in the end, he also made a lot of mistake and started acting out as a tyrant (much to FL's surprised) but he stayed true to his character "I did it for love" - but even when he loves Yurigel, he would rather have both of them dead if it meants saving his kingdom.
I love how the FL didn't have her bluff. She didn't suddenly turn into a master manipulator. Didn't suddenly turn into genius tactician, she stayed true to the role. She is a nanny. A commoner with no strong family connection. She doesn't even have friends outside of the palace because she basically grew up in seclusion. Doesn't have any charm, money and not even physically strong.

The villain is powerful and know her every move, so how is she gonna survive?

I love that the maids are good with each other. No jealousy, no fighting over power or money. They are humans so they also got jealous of Ash when she suddenly got promotion and have all these guys around her, but still they are happy that one of them is having a good life. I love that community.
Anyway, I love all the characters in this series, especially the maids.

I just wish the romance part wasn't included or didn't end up like that.
