Review:
I'm a bit slow reading this novel but overall it's good. Maybe because there's a lot of description or narrate that making me bored but the characters and background story are good. Each of them have their own reason and the story flow make sense. MC and ML are not OP, MC doesn't become perfect girl after her rebirth.
