This story....I can't even say if there is anything good about this story. I don't like it but it's going to be picked anyways so I'm just gonna write a review on this so that future readers will be aware of what they are going to be reading. Btw this is from the first 20 chapters so I can't say too much, but I still don't really like where this is going... ps i'm not doing the spoil thing cuz this is rlly long but read it you want to know wat ur getting urself into. First off, the FL is supposedly a cold-hearted assassin that was reincarnated like most tropes. But, she doesn't seem all that much...Yeah she has determination and ambition and fights back and rejects the annoying "prince" that the original body is obsessed with like always where they then start to chase her 🙄 But that also seems like the most basic dignity and personality that a girl should have. Idk maybe I've just read too many of these novel tropes? 🥴 Ofc with the whole training the weak bodies to be stronger and stuff. When it comes to the conflicts between girls like in every story though, that is what I don't like (first). It's always fun reading the FL getting back those mean girls who always scheme to sabotage the FL but I hate it, I mean I absolutely DESPISE when r@pe is used. Idec if there is like catching a cheating couple in the act and I'm even somewhat (?) ok (but not rlly) with the whole drugging fiasco tropes that happen in the beginning (i just tend to ignore it at this point). The normal scheming between students could be like cheating results or creating rumors like always but to use r@pe as an actual way to people especially when they're all only like 16-18 years old is disgusting. Using it on the antagonists doesn't make it any better either. The FL might not have schemed it personally but it was the fact that it still happened. She also just stands at the side like a bystander. She's a gangster so I guess it's not like she's never seen this stuff before, but she even said that she's disgusted with it but still is letting it happen just because it's happening to someone against her. She might not necessarily need to do anything since it's her "enemy" but ugh it just makes me so mad as she even uses it to taunt the girl. It says something about her character and it isn't a very heroic or good description 😬 R@pe isn't good so that's a no for me. And it also isn't stopping anytime soon as it seems like it's going to be used back and forth for drama and an "interesting show" 🤮🤮 Ok lastly the foster dad. Don't even get me started 🤮🤮 Ok so I've seen a few people talk about the age gap but actually age gaps aren't that bad to me. My parents are 10 years apart and I think it's ok as love is love as long as they are both consenting adults where the younger one wasn't groomed by the older one. But back to my opinion on this guy...so he basically adopted the FL when she was like 8 because of the dad of the FL originally saving him. So he's been taking care of her for years BUUUT, he frickin develops feelings for her 🤢🤢 I'm not sure even sure when but he's basically been grooming her as he says he'll "wait for her" which is gentlemanly ig but still not acceptable in these circumstances. He's kinda controlling too which is a no no for me but he's still a pedo overall so no no no no no. ALSO, it seems like he's going to be the ML as this so called strong FL doesn't seem to be rejecting his actions/feelings cuz of her "awkwardness" from taking over the body of the original girl who was a little infatuated with the guy. But when you think about it, she also rejected the annoying self-pretentious guy that the original body used to like so it's not like she can't reject the dad but like hey, watvr right? ://

You perfectly summarized this for curious readers & I wish I would've read your review before starting this story. Based on the synopsis, I was interested because of the mafia aspect but it turned out being executed in a direction that leaves me less than excited. I'm glad that you brought up the issue of r*pe being vile especially because it's teens plotting it & how the FL claims to not like that form of revenge yet she does nothing but watch. Granted, one could say she's showing no mercy since the victim intended that fate for her too but, personally, I would never wish that upon anyone nor just sit there & watch. Those actions, & the ones you mentioned about her reaction to her foster father & ex crush, are some of the inconsistencies in her character.

Thank you for the detailed review! I will also add that what I'm also confused about is that the ML fell 'in love🥲' with the Original Girl. However, now that she's dead and the FL took over her body he is going to still be 'in love' with her even though she's actually a different person??? 😵‍💫 Like how does that work? Is it just her body he likes so it doesn't matter who occupies the body he will still like her?🤔 So many things about this novel that just has me reacting like: 😦😐😵‍💫

i mean who knows lol it doesn't seem that most of these novels are that logically well put together but ig he also didn't know that the girl he used to "love" had alr died and was being inhabited by another soul
