Hello! This is the author shamelessly rating her book 5 star 🥰🥰! This is the first time I am writing this type of story. It has a historical setting— something I have never done before— and cruel main characters. The female lead, Odette, is someone who is a sadist and prefers amusing things. She was given a second chance after being killed by the male lead, Adrian. In this life of hers, she desired to raise Adrian and see his potentials since she believes that he is amusing. In her last life, Adrian killed of her entire family for revenge— at least that is what she thinks. Nonetheless, she doesn't hold a grudge at him for that because according to her, it was the strongest that prevails, plus they have deserved that. I can't exactly say what is to be expected, but there will be definitely be a lot of murders, and if you are a soft hearted person, I would not exactly suggest that. The male lead will be on the possessive side because why not? I have not written a male lead that is exactly that possessive, so that's why I want to give it a try. The female lead is not a good person. She was someone who was directly and indirectly involved with torturing the male lead. But she carries her own pain. Remember that the female lead is a cruel person, and as for the male lead, you will see 😄 That's all!
The story started interestingly. I love how strong the FL is. I love FL that has cold and detached characters. I gave 3 stars in writing quality because of some misplaced punctuations, some repetitive words, and phrases. I am also a little bit annoyed with too much usage of the word 'vocalized'. **Although there is a lot to criticize on my writing as well** I know the author tried his/her best to deliver good story. I am excited about how this story will go in the future.
Though I didn’t know what to expect from this originally, this book is surprisingly good, from the crash of contradictory feelings to the rainbow of characters who vary in their cruelty. Though each character has his or her own story’s worth, each character seems vividly portrayed, it does not exceed or overshadow the main character. I know I often get annoyed with side stories and such or an overly detailed account of a side character’s lives, this book does not have that. Instead, the reader’s are given an insight that is relevant to the plot with intriguing underlying implications. I might add that the main character is without a doubt cruel. But realistically, why would a character have such a sickening nature? She does not seem to regret it either but who knows? For those interested, I highly recommend. The author did an amazing job. I look forward to the next chapter. Thank you.
Odette Albinius, the primary character, is charismatic and interesting. Primarily, I believe, because of her strong will and unpretentious demeanor. Her self-awareness and her unashamed logic that caters to only her desires and interests, damn other people and what they think is morality, is somehow an attractive quality. This is not the first female character I've read on Webnovel with such a dark background, but it's the first with an unashamedly battle-maniacal fun-loving sociopathy. There are more of the type in Japanese anime and manga though. Despite this, I feel this character to be refreshing. Possibly I've spent too much time on Webnovel? haha A blood-lusting sociopathic lady suddenly turned into a child again...the background the author gives is not that original but there is a verve to it. The insight this reversal of time gives the reader, on how a person with such demonic values might have been created by the circumstances and people around her, is definitely interesting. The grammatic mistakes are minor, though sometimes the names of the characters are turned around. Still, the author's writing has an energy to it that has you going from one chapter to the next. I'd say give it a chance. I certainly have not regretted coming across this story.
