This is my first time writing a review. As i looked there were only a few reviews available here so i will add my review for guideline.

Beware a little spoiler, eventhough i may wrote it unconsciously.





The first few chapters began with common plot. A hero departed for demon lord hunting and his lover wanted to seek for joyful life as she recalled her past three lifes. A comfy-looking fantasy setting manga indeed. I think about second half of the manga, it took turn into a bit dark fantasy. The story had a what we called as foreshadow for a woman and a man figure. Thats ... what made i read for the rest of the manga as i wanna know who they were. The author made a splendid job for arranging the characters and story in nice order. The manga had a bittersweet story, a genre that which quite not many other manga had. I didn't see a plothole in the story, but if it had, it may not affected the story much. The ending was satisfied for me. The art was a candy for my eyes. The story was not too long or too short, which is my forte. I really want this manga to be animated lols. So in short, i recommended to those who seek fantasy setting, hero as mc, plot twist, not have too much action, and isekai.

I really wanted to like this manga, but it simply suffers from how short it is. I don't often complain about a manga being too short, usually my complaint is that they can drag on. However, four volumes simply wasn't enough to explore all the plot elements that were introduced about mid-way through. Since this is only four volumes it suffers from poor pacing, everything happens at break-neck speed. This in turn creates a jarring shift in tone as there simply aren't enough chapters to allow the plot to play out in a natural way.

It never feels like it's building to something. it's just ... a series of things happening before the Big Bad is announced, then everything gets dropped to focus on that. Even then, the explanations feel muddled and rushed. Some world building has clearly gone into this story, so it's a shame that it wasn't given any room to breathe before we were rushed on to the next bit. It felt like visting an art gallery 5 minutes before it closes, there simply wasn't enough time to enjoy all the work put into each piece before dashing off to the next.

The characters had no time to really develop, which was a shame. I was rooting for Louise once Graham had left, I wanted to see a sisterly bond develop between Lindsay and Louise, I was intrigued about Diana and Russell's relationship. And most of all I wanted to be swept up in romance once Graham returned home. Were they are groundbreaking study of the human condition? No, but they were fun, sweet and relatable. The fact that I wanted to spend more time with them is testament to just how invested I was.
All I can hope for is that this'll get the Sugar Apple Fairytale treatment and be adapted again into a longer running series.

Despite this, I would still recommend it for people who want a quick, light, predictable read with likeable characters. If you want something with a bit more emotional weight, with complex relationships then you won't find it here.

I did not like this manga as can be seen with the score I gave it. It is an isekai. This is the only semi-spoiler in this review and I genuinely believe you have the right to know that. Manga nowadays literally have isekai tag for genre and to be honest the world setting was completely fine and unique on it's own. There was absolutely no need to make it an isekai and dropping that bomb so late in the manga completely ruined the unique setting and feel. Moreover it had virtually no bearing on the story whatsoever. Essentially a pointless isekai trope for no ... reason.

I would describe this manga as false advertising. Despite the plot revolving around becoming happy it is much closer to a semi-tragedy. This is not as light-hearted like the plot summary and first several chapters would have you believe. Just make sure you know what you're getting yourself into if you decide to read this manga. If you are offended by darker topics this is not a good manga for you. Nor me. I didn't appreciate the sheer amount of darkness and corruption in this story.

Story:
Initially fair and unique until the plot takes a generic turn. The plot is about the mc pledging to live her own life and become happy. Her goal is to be independent and self-supporting while the hero is tasked with defeating the demon king.

Characters:
The mc is very indecisive and self contradicting despite her pledge to be happy. Other characters act in unrealistic ways and lack common sense. I find many flaws with the way characters think or act. The safety of our female protagonist is severely neglected. She is put in many harmful or dangerous situations for various reasons, almost none of which make sense. I have many concerns with the characters and how they act. Many of the problems could have, and should have been resolved very differently.

One specific character is apparently too powerful to help in a problematic situation. I find this to be a poor plot device. There are many problems with the story once this character is introduced and explained. This is the most vague I can explain without spoilers.

Overall:
Barely passable until ~ch15 when plotholes and fundamental errors in the story become apparent.
I can only give this a 1/10.
