▶Summary and recommendation: -----------------------------------------------------------------
This story has a remarkably good settup for an isekai, but once the reincarnation is done, it struggles with creating a hook for the story.

I dropped this manhwa at chapter 58. By chapter 40, all the manhwa had done was introduce a large cast of characters, few of which are given enough pages to develop distinct personalities.
I can not recommend this manhwa.

▶Story: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even when the story started picking up pace, the majority of the characters introduced were not involved, and the main character did not become an active participant in the ... story until 50 chapters in.

▶Characters: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The characters, even given 50 chapters to introduce them, are not well defined, and most can be summed up in a single sentence.

▶Romance: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This does eventually turn into a romance manhwa. However a lot of the characters that surrounds the main character have an unhealthy/worrisome relationship with her, to the point where the author changed (from the light novel) who the protagonist ends up with in the end. There is also a big concern about the age gap, as most romance targets are five to ten times the age of the main character.

▶Artwork: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The art is very peculiar, and it appears most people do not like it. Myself included. The iconography is weird and the designs are only consistentent in their inconsistency.

Initially picked it up because i was looking for something similar to "Who Made Me a Princess." The starting was quite similar, with a similar premise of reincarnating as the daughter of a king but boy was I mistaken as the plot and storyline was vastly different.

Story 7/10 - You would think that 155 chapters would be long but I actually think the pacing was quite well done and gave enough time to explore the backstory of some of the side characters. The school arc became quite draggy but ok it was probably to explore the MC a bit more. Quite enjoyed the building up ... of the narrative and gave an interesting premise on how they would build up to the climax and plot but you would tend to get confused with all the different characters thrown in that it just became so so many characters without actual relevance to the characters you cared or wanted to delve into. That said it was an interesting plot line which got you confused but invested enough to see what would happen
Relationship building 4/10 - I wished they developed and explored the romantic relationship between the MC and other love interests more as it felt a bit messy and forced at some times. The father-daughter relationship could have had more moments too but most of the time it just felt like the father was protecting the daughter without an actual development or shift in the dynamic through a conversation. Don't get me started on the MC and the male lead because I was just so confused and disappointed by the development of the romance.. read for yourself I shan't spoil and let you get as upset as I was
Art 8/10 - Beautiful artwork that really draws you into the narrative with some cool costume designs that make all the characters seem stunning. I'm not a fan of the hairstyles of some of the male characters they just make them look like idol groups at times LOL so therefore -1 for the weird hairspray hairdo which was real tacky
Enjoyment 8/10 - Definitely found myself enjoying the first part a lot more and speed read the middle portion that became a bit boring. BUT nonetheless enjoyed reading this and didn't take the confusing portions too heavily

Overall not a bad read but definitely has its loopholes especially in terms of character dynamics and development of the relationships that left a lot of ??? and wondering why..
