The sister's fiasco.

The MC had a sister who had the same powers as her, only she was a little weaker. When they were children, this sister dies and MC becomes the main source of jewelry for the Count who bought the two as s*aves. When MC goes back to the past, she spends several days in bed without understanding what was happening. Later, a chapter or two at the most, it is revealed that MC's sister died three days ago. That is, MC had already gone back in time, and her sister died while she was in bed. I mean, it's understandable but if the author didn't want to put the sister in the story anymore why not say that she came back after her sister's death? That way it leaves a bad taste of missed opportunity. And no, this is not commented on in the story, MC does not acknowledge this fact, and this is not mentioned anymore. Which makes me believe that it was a writing error, probably the author did not even notice.

MC's escape & Why author made Villain and reason for marriage irrelevant

MC was apparently trapped in this attic/room.

She manages to escape, threatening to tell the Count that the employee guarding the place stole various things from the mansion. The servant lets her go, and even calls a carriage for her. And so she manages to escape... Apparently, the coachman, the guards who usually stay at the gate, or any other servants didn't think it was suspicious.

MC then meets the former duke, father of the current duke, and he takes her to the Bellstein family mansion, "the villains" who will be her family. Soon she conquers everyone, as usually happens in this kind of story.

The author overlooks the fact that the Count technically owns her, and the family refuses (as they should) to return her. The problem is:

the resolution is virtually non-existent, it's pretty obvious that the author didn't care about the various problems that could arise from a family practically kidnapping the girl. For example, she is a child who needs the guardian's permission to marry, this is mentioned, and then forgotten. Eventually the earl is captured, and held prisoner. And NOBODY questions this, nothing happens. Even when everyone thinks the heir's new "bride" is his daughter. The Count's wife is also never mentioned again.

They never told MC that the Count was already captured WAY before the marriage. (He was capture in chapter 35~36 and the wedding happened at chapter 76~78) .

So, technically, MC still believes she has to get married to get rid of the Count. Of course, at this point, even if the MC knew, she would still choose to stay with the Duke's family, as she feels indebted because the Crown prince used her jewels to annihilate the Duke's family in the past life, also she loved them. But the question is... why the wedding then? Why not say "Look, we've already captured the count, and if you just want to stay here with us, you can". But I think that then the author would have to think of a more original development for the couple, right...

For me, since the author did not explaind the reasons why the duque never told her that the count was no longer a threat, the whole situation just seems icky.

MC forgiving people for dumb reasons

In the story there is a problem with the glass market, which has been monopolized, and glaziers are facing problems for that.

MC remembers that in the past life, glass decorations became famous because Empress got a gift. The empress has a lot of followers on instagram... no, wait... The empress is an idol so everything she wears is popular.

MC then decides... TO USE THE WORK OF THE MAN WHO MADE HER GLASS CELL in her past life. YES, ladies and gentlemen. She apparently doesn't see anything wrong with that, because after he saw her, he said"he had no choice because he needed to earn a living.". But seriously... someone who has the courage to make a glass cell to imprison someone, and not a criminal, obviously, since she was the prince's concubine... It's just ridiculous. She recruits him to make that present, this happened at the beginning of the story, but it still hasn't been resolved because the author is extending it as if it were a very interesting plot. and I assure you, it's not.

MC forgiving people for sumb reasons OR

does the author not realize that we should know the circumstances?

In the MC's past life, she was trapped by the prince in a glass cage. During that time, the prince does several experiments with the MC's jewels, and she mentions that a mage named Erika helped him. Until then, I thought Erika must be a villain too... because MC was being forced to use her powers constantly and was already mentally and physically wasting away. Never, until chapter 119, which is as far as I read, was it explained why Erika was helping the prince. Maybe she was forced, maybe she was blackmailed, or any other reason that would help the reader understand/forgive the character

But then Erika appears in the story, and MC once again decides to recruit her. She needs to find out more about her own jewelry, so it's understandable that she uses Erika who in the other life had managed to discover a lot of things. BUT, it is extremely confusing, because Erika is introduced, but it is never explained whether she willingly helped the prince or not. MC just says he wants to recruit her, so surely Erika can't be a villain... right... right?

There's no way to know, because the author doesn't say anything. Of course, he might mention it later on, but it should have been mentioned earlier, when Erika was introduced or at least shortly after, because the MC already has a history of apologizing to people she shouldn't.

ML's reason for not wanting marriage forgotten and made irrelevant

ML at first refuses the marriage, and it is later explained that this is because he made a pact with a dark creature. He will live forever fulfilling his promise and that's why he doesn't want to get attached. Finally, he accepts because MC says that as soon as they reach adulthood, she will file for divorce, as the marriage is just to get rid of the Count. But when he takes a liking to the MC, and MC mentions that she's going to file for divorce when she reaches adulthood, ML just forgets why he rejected the marriage in the first place, and tells not to run away... Again, the author does not deal with this. It's not like ML is conflicted about his feelings, or the situation.

That's because... The author went back on information he gave.

At first, ML says that because of the pact he made with Raven he will have to become a Reaper. According to him, once he's reaper, he'll live forever until he finds a replacement, and that's a burden he doesn't want to place on anyone else.

BUT THEN the author gives super convenient information a few chapters later: ML will only give his soul to Raven if one of two things happens: 1. ML kills 3 people. 2. ML die.

So... if he's only going to become a reaper when he dies... it means he can live until old age normally... of course, he can control himself and not kill 3 people.

But then why didn't he want to get married? I mean, it's fine if the author just didn't say the reason, but why give a reason that's irrelevant?

it's just confusing.

Author saying something is urgent, then forgetting life-or-death subplot.

Eventually Soliephe, ML's mother, returns from the "battlefield". This happens around chapter 60.

At this point, the fact is soon introduced that Soliephe has a deadly disease and that is why he has been missing for two years. She decided that she didn't want anyone to see her die, and that she would rather die on the battlefield. But when after two years she still hasn't died, she decides to return home to see her family one last time.

MC decides to help her, and for that, she has to resurrect a phoenix that appeared in the story at another point. As the duchess has limited time, it was to be expected that this was MC's priority, since she decided to help. But she, *cough* the author *cough* forgets this for several chapters, and says she forgot because "she's been too busy". No, she wasn't busy resolving some major story conflict, as the story hasn't had any so far.

And so far, chapter 119, some time has passed in the story, but the Duchess' illness is almost never mentioned and still unresolved. Even though she was presented as having one foot in the grave.

By the way, I personally can't get over how her jewel ability is portrayed when she's trying to hide it. The author starts talking about how she's talking with people when she will have to suppress the urge to make a jewel. She quickly excuses herself then runs off to some private place were she just lets go and... plop. Drops one right on the carpet. I know that it's a jewel but seriously, it sounds like she's soiling herself. It makes me giggle, I can't help it.
