Synopsis

At a young age, Durua Valrose realizes that she's been reincarnated as the villainess of a novel who is destined to die at the hands of the male protagonist, Nocturne Edgar. Determined to change her fate, she tries to befriend Nocturne, but little does she know that he is the only living black mage who can hear, sense, and even control people's thoughts and emotions. To Nocturne, Durua is an enigma. She is the first person that he's encountered who is not susceptible to his magic, a fact that makes him feel both intrigued and intimidated at the same time. The two form a strained friendship, but Durua has no idea whether the story is changing for better or worse. Will she be able to rewrite her ending and escape death?

Started off interested but then it just dragged on, a story driven by misunderstanding and NO COMMUNICATION!!!!
Characters keeping secrets, and knowing things yet deciding to not say anything, then some finding out the truth and STILL choosing to stay quiet.
I read up to ch 32 when I decided to skip ahead to chapter 80 something because I could not handle all this annoying nonsense of how the MC was being led to trust the wrong person (Evil) person and instead mistrust and be wary of the ML who was actually the good guy who had suffered A LOT, which is slowly revealed just ...

OH MY GOD HE HATES ME MIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMI....

if you keep up the “MIMIMI” for at least 45 chapters, you'll have a near perfect impression of “Everything Was A Mistake”.

If you read a lot of manga/manhwa/manhua... or watch a lot of anime, you already know the premise here: girl has read a book and is reborn as the antagonist who dies. A simple concept, but it can work well.
In “Everything was a mistake”, our protagonist Roa Valrose, who is reborn as the antagonist of a book, makes a mistake, as the name suggests, and thus inadvertently befriends the purely evil Nocton Edgar. He even kills Valrose - ... at least in the book she once read. Now she's trying to distance herself from him, but something seems odd...
It's pretty obvious, so I'll say it here: the aforementioned true evil Edgar has of course developed differently than in the book because of their relationship and even loves the protagonist, but stupidly he never dared to approach Valrose because of a really horrible past - torture by his mother among other things. Now it's too late, because with her memories intact, she refuses to listen to her childhood friend.

Now a seemingly tragic romance develops in which Edgar tries to somehow get closer to Valrose. But no matter what he does, she no longer trusts him.
And that is EXTREMELY annoying. Especially because he admits his mistakes and starts doing things that she would have accepted as an excuse just a moment before. He poisons himself, risks being burned as a witch or finally calls her by her first name - a chapter earlier Valrose had mentioned this as a condition for forgiving him, but quite coincidentally she has now received more information, misinterpreted it and so this is no longer enough for her.
Perhaps one could still find a certain charm in this tragic story if it didn't seem so stupid that the protagonist always just happens to decide shortly beforehand that she no longer accepts certain actions as an excuse. It feels a bit like the two of them are running in a hamster wheel while the real culprits poison their food and they blame each other because they are too focused on their shitty hamster wheel and don't really speak out or try to run anywhere other than the hamster wheel.

However, that wasn't the only reason why I abandoned the manhwa. Unfortunately, I only had a really catastrophic version with poor quality available, which consisted of nothing but pixel mush and incorrect translations from Chapter 30 onwards. That quickly robbed me of the last of my patience with the manhwa.

Bottom line: If you're the type of person who truly enjoys love stories and can overlook all the stupid coincidences and missed decisions, if you can look at the tragic love story in Romeo and Juliet and somehow ignore the stupid, inane actions of all the characters, then you might enjoy this. I, however, think Romeo, Juliet and 90% of the other characters are dumber than monkeys, so reading this was a mistake... you get it? It was all a mistake... i am so funny.
