I think the title should be changed to 'making the second lead life miserable while living happily with first lead'. I hate Selena, not because she's selfish or was playing for both teams, it's because she act like a victim, pushing all the blame on Charlton, asking him the impossible just so she can feel good about what she did, it felt like she was waiting for him to refuse just so she can throw at him the cold truth, so when she think about the past she won't feel guilty cause for her it's all Charlton's fault... Well, all of this is just a personal opinion, the story is well writing, quick updates, lot of people seems to enjoy the story development, so who am i to say no. I'll just drop this, maybe come back to see how things ended, or maybe not, i don't want to see Selena and Charlton back together, what happened is too much to be fixed again

I am agree in these part : serena being ended up with charlton again, I think it will make novel hollow, I mean charlton should move on, I know it is a female protagonist but that doesn’t mean this, 2nd serena' s development , one of the worst development of fl, i mean she literally did nothing in these years and she also didn’t oppose Geoffrey in past strongly, she even didn’t hear leonard's warning now come back to geoffrey , actually if you re-read earlier chap his character is just like this, I mean kinda complex and he will do anything to earn what belongs to him, actually the perason who is responsible for charlton's this situation is also him, his plan so don’t you think it will be great show geoffrey vs new charlton coz not only geo took his lover but also make his sweet mom cry ( every woman's dream mother in law, perhaps), his dad also in jail actaully charlton is perfect for modern romance,rom com,steamy or slow paced modern romance.Don' YOU think his character is simp and too naive for fantasy genre where men are like hyenas. I mean he should hit ruthlessly or kill Geoffrey when he saw that scene in ball, He is practical shouldn’t he be more careful, i mean he choose the path of thief, so he should do that act properly to steal the product successfully, also he choose his family but now he is regreeting...

Most of novels with this kind of settings has the second lead being this hidden boss, who carry the FL through the story, so Charlton being little naïve and not the perfect ML we always get was refreshing for me, I hoped the FL to do the carrying this time, not literally, but at least not shove everything on his back and work together to the top, but she turned into this weak and hopeless girl... maybe I just had high hopes for her, and she was always like this. I dropped the story, so I didn't know of the Geo vs new Charl arc, that would be interesting to see, I just hope he does it for his family not cause of the FL. But at the same time if you think about it, isn't the outcome of that clear? I can't see them coexist with each other, so Charlton will just become a stepping stone to solidifier their relationship, since the FL needs her "happy ending".

I personally think that Serena’s character is good. she did not mess charlton’s life, she backed away from him as he did to her. what does she do? She’s in an era where women were like second class cItizens despite their sTatus. When geoffrey dies she’ll be on her Own anD that’s the time she will seek some vengEAnce. i think she’s the best FL to be honest. What did charlton lose? He only had a broken heart. Yes his dad got imPrisoned but he reallY did some crime. Serena on the other hand she got pregnant. She also has to think for herself and her family and the child. trying to latch on charlton would also bring him trouble so she also let go. both of them let go. Sorry, thATs my thOught as the author. aish. i dont get why charlton gets all the pitY. Serena made the moSt of what she can have. that she is happy now, it’s all good. but what about later? Aish. im also not over this story wanting to defend my characters hahaha!

Since I have gone this far in writing this novel, I believe that this deserves a new review. The first part of the novel has already been completed. I just didn’t divide it because they haven’t finished the school year yet. However, the way the story will move from there, well the focus has shifted. Anyway, volume 1 is from chapter 1-161. The main focus is on Serena’s experience as a transmigrator, her new life, friends, experiences, and of course, her love life. In the process of writing that part, I have lost a lot of readers, They did not like what I did somewhere in between, but I cant change it because I think that it was necessary for the relationship between the two MC to evolve/ grow more than skinship. our ML needed to break away from everything that constricts him and to grow as an individual. Our FL also needed to realize that our ML is the only one for her. Now, From chapter 162- it should be volume 2, but the school year has not yet ended. Anyway, the story continues and the volume would end sometime when Charlton graduates. I’m not sure how long that would be but during this time, our ML and FL has already reconciled and their relationship is stronger. The main focus would be our ML and FL building solid foundation in their career. In addition, our ML would be building connections and all those before entering parliament. I think that this volume would be better than the 1st. As of writing, our ML aside from becoming a song producer would... well stop spoiler haha! But it would be an exciting ride I believe. (Lots of smut too to make up for the time they broke up). After writing that volume, I will be continuing with Volume 3. plan is, it would be the part where our ML enters parliament. There is no instant ramen in this novel. (Except for the early parts) it’s quite detailed and I have poured blood and sweat in writing this. To tell the truth, I spend 3-4 hours just to write one chapter and that does not include the time I edit it. I do a lot of research (which also is time consuming) whenever I write, and although this novel is not historically accurate, I made lots of references on Victorian era. From the dances, the polo match, the studio they sing in, and the merchants, the timeline although messed up are from Victorian era so please bear with me. I hope that everyone who reads this novel can enjoy it (though i know that that's not possible). I enjoy writing it most of the time and other times I just want to give up. I hope to continue writing this and I will as long as there are readers who loves reading this. So please, do give me a pat on the back sometimes for encouragement. 🥰 Anyway, this is quite long. Thanks for reading this review, and despite all the bashers which sometimes WN deletes because of the bad words, I will still give myself a 5 star rating!

Return of the General's Daughter

This is the story of Lara, a young woman from modern times, raised with one purpose: to exact revenge on the family of the general who destroyed her own. But fate had other plans. On her way to carry out her mission of vengeance, a twist in the plan led to disaster. Lara was struck by a military truck escorting the very general she intended to assassinate. When she awoke, she found herself in an entirely different world—one where her identity and purpose were starkly different from the life she had known and how she had been molded to be. Abducted by human traffickers, she outsmarted them and escaped. Then, she encountered a mysterious martial arts master whose ancient skills far surpassed her own. For two years, she trained with him in the remote mountains.  One fateful day, while staying deep in the jungle of Mount Ourea, Lara stumbled upon the Prince of Northem, disguised as an ordinary commander. He was gravely injured while pursuing a notorious group of bandits. Lara saved him and found herself entangled in the war that raged for two years. Lara, disguised as a soldier, volunteered to deliver a very important message to the generals of the Northem army, embroiled in a fierce battle against the bandits, the rebels, and soldiers of Estalis in the Alta-Sierra mountain range. Amid the chaos, Lara was swept onto the battlefield. During the battle, fate played another cruel hand. Lara came face to face with General Odin and his sons—only to discover that General Odin was the spitting image of the general she had been trained to assassinate. Could the man from her world be a descendant of this brave general? Torn between her mission and her newfound reality, Lara faced an impossible question: How could she kill her biological father? Her internal conflict deepened when she uncovered an elaborate plot to frame General Odin and his sons as traitors. The true culprits? His subordinates and trusted allies. In an ironic twist of fate, Lara found herself becoming the 'protector' of the family that, in modern times, she was supposed to ruin. After the war, Lara returned as a hero, ready to reveal her identity to General Odin, but she learned of another betrayal. Her cousin, Mira—the orchestrator of her abduction—had taken over her identity. Mira lived in her home under the guise of comforting Lara's grief-stricken mother because of the death of her only daughter. Not only that, she also did a lot of scheming and eventually claimed Lara's betrothal to Prince Alaric. With her identity stolen and her mission turned upside down, Lara faced a new challenge: reclaiming her life and honor and protecting her new family.
