7.5

This manhwa doesn't follow the regular convention of isekai manhwa transmigration. The FL isn't summoned into another world or hit by a truck - she just wakes up in the game she was playing and finds that she can't get out. There are other characters in the world who find themselves stuck and together they hatch a plan to get out. I like that the story is unique because it doesn't focus on a revenge plot or a takeover of the story. Rather, they live as best as they can with the circumstances that they find themselves in. The female lead is also a hardworking character who isn't too flimsy and actually has a spine to decide things for themselves. She doesn't wield a sword or do intense magic (so far) but creates clothes imbued with high stats and special skills. The male lead is where it gets interesting. He's not the stereotypical cool male lead, who's overpowered and overleveled compared to everyone in the story. He isn't quiet or blase or unfriendly - in fact, he's the complete opposite, which brings a different type of appeal. Although the story is still in progress, I think there's promise here so far and I'm excited to see more from the world and the author!  Reviewed at Chapter 16.

I like the sotry alot so far. Its fun that a fl instead of a ml was transmigrated, I guess thats the right word, as is typical in trasnmigration stories.

I had a few things I liked and a few that I didn't. I liked the plot, and looking back there was a lot of foreshadowing, meaning this wasn't just slapped together. I also found the FL relatable, and consistent in her character. There was barely any focus on fashion, though. Maybe the first 20 or so chapters, but after that, it becomes more adventurey than anything. Also, there is little to no romance. It's kinda implied that the ML is in love with the FL, but they never actually state it or even get together at the end. A bit disappointing but whatever 🤷 Overall, 7.5/10 would read again Trigger warnings: time loop, religion
