With the amount of detail and worldbuliding in this novel, it could be on the ranks of Harry Potter. It's the perfect blend of Western magic lore and classic Japanese troupes; "rebirth", villainess, otome game, death flags, etc. I'd love if it becomes a manga or even an anime.... more>>

It's really surprising that a jpn novel of this caliber exists, truly. Natural reactions, like thinking she was a crazy person and that she possibly imagined her whole life*review by me* <<less

really rare gem, you can tell the author put a lot of thought into this through the worldbuilding. ... more>>

Although you do still have a lot of the archetypes of the genre, they're FLESHED OUT archetypes and not just cardboard cutouts clearly meant for nothing other than adding drama and opportunities for the MC to show off how much smarter/stronger/better she is than everyone else*review by me* <<less

The love between the mc and ml isn't just skin deep, so much layers to their story and the cast themselves aren't perfect but they LEARN. And that's what makes it special... more>>

honestly give it a go, there is so much character development and they GROW for better or worse believably*review by me* <<less

Lovable interactions and it's family oriented. Contains character growth. Read if you want a sweet tooth. ... more>>

If you liked this, I recommend reading the manhwa, the storyline has more progress and easier to understand because of the pics and side characters get more development*review by me* <<less

Long read but worth it. Don't expect romance and it's not harem either. It's basically mc being badass, you'd love it if you prefer action*review... more>> by me* <<less

I love that the story "shows" instead of "tell".... more>>

No second chances to her past lover, like just because he killed her only in the past life doesn't erase that she literally DIED periodt*review by me* <<less

Really memorable and somewhat bittersweet. Heartbreakingly beautiful... more>>

Most relatable lyric, me at the novel "baby you can break my heart slowly" 

*review by me* <<less

Initially the story was a bore but wow when it starts to pick up wow. Mc is very realistic and not someone who was an assassin/doctor/expert sth in her past life, just an utterly normal woman. ... more>>

She is so loveable, i really adore her. The characters are fleshed out so well that while you may not agree with their actions, you can understand why they did what they did. Impressive*review by me* <<less

It's so damn scary and I consider myself to be a horror connoisseur. It may not seem like much at the start but man, now I'm afraid to leave my back open. It's not scary as in blood or gore, it's the thriller and the feeling of danger seeping in. ... more>>

This is actually my first male lead novel. don't expect romance; checkout the tags.

The relationship between the father and his cute, adorable daughter is heart-warming. The story goes on as the dad changes from a cold-hearted man who hates his child(for a reason) to a daughter-con ... more>>

Kind of like a detective novel, solving mysteries through anatomy in the ancient times. ... more>>

Warning: mc is selfish(enough to risk her friend's life for her own curiosity)and not really likeable.

Special spot for me since it was one of the first novel I read in this genre*review by me*

I'm not really a slice of life person so I found that boring at first but the way the story develops is great. Definitely worth a try ... more>>

This story is pretty simple, but it's a recommended read. It'd probably be an interesting experience for most people.Put simply, the story has "how an unordinary person might interact with an extraordinary person and what might happen as a result" as an underlying theme as it tells the tale outlined above. It's executed fairly well.... more>>

This is a great short read. The protagonist is enjoyable despite her flaws. She compliments well with the tsundere male lead with their bickering, the... more>> standard idiot couple.At the very least, I would recommend trying to read the first lifetime and the extra chapter 52, as that lifetime is my (and many other's) favorite lifetime"review by yume_desu" <<less

ml is a typical ancient king who has tons of concubines and children while the fl seems like an airhead who bullies the favoured concubines... more>> until one day, the ml goes in a newborn puppy and gets adopted by the mc. He slowly realize that things aren't always what they seem to be*review by me* <<less

The misunderstandings are kind of annoying but the first half of the novel was really promising, a shame that the later chaps are rushed and doesn't really "show" the story anymore. ... more>>

Good to pass time but don't expect it to be a fulfilling read*review by me* <<less

When you want a sweetness and fluffiness, not a strong plot otherwise*review by me*

this is akin to historical fiction. theres no overwhelming dog blood drama. In the first place it's pretty unrealistic how people are so s*upid and scheming in most novels. Characters here act like actual human beings; just because a person did bad thing doesn't mean they'll always do bad things in the future. That's not how humans work. I really appreciate how dimensional the author designed the characters.... more>>

"I really, really enjoyed this story. It isn't perfect, but I mainly read it for the interactions between the FL and ML. I absolutely love... more>> them both. The ML especially just has my heart. The overall tone of the plot is just very sweet with some spiciness on the side. It's gentle read, and the ups and downs are good enough to keep you stimulated and interested. There's no fancy court intrigue or intricate schemes so reading this at the end of a long day was just what I needed"- wildenabokov <<less
