Wouldn't recommend I tried sticking it out to read all of it but its not what i thought it would be based on the plot summery and title.

The FL's whole thing is pretending to be crazy and having a 2nd chance at life so why in ch 1 did the autoher gloss over the MC going through the motions of conviencing ppl she was crazy in her 2nd life?

Like you make the MC wake up at the age of 10 for basically no reason bc you decided to time skip 9 years anyways. At that point if the creator really wanted to skip to the poorlly written meeting between the FL and ML they should have just made the assaionation attempt a failure then have the MC pretend to have gone crazy from the poison.

Beacuse again her living a second life serves no purpose, and would have been better narratively without it.

Also the FL is being written as cautious in one panel but in the next she kisses ML at their first meeting? 

It seems like the author had a vague idea of what they wanted for a plot but didnt know how to write it.

I like the idea the MC acts "crazy" or "mentally ill" to avoid death, I thought it was interesting. I was curious about how things will be going in the story but I ended up so lost. I don't know if it is just me?? But I didn't understand anything when it came to the world's details or the situation in general. 

I didn't understand where the MC's mindset was and felt like the ML was all over the place when it came to how he felt or how he acted.

This is a complete loss of time. The premise is bullshit, a king has a curse, and now the ten siblings have to kill each other in a Highlander style, it can only be one. But everyone lives in the same house for years, how can this shit keep going for so long? There are many ways to kill each other, even more, when there are no consequences for such. 

The main character's plan makes very little sense, how pretending to be insane can protect her? She would be an easier target, and so would be killed first. 

Art is fine, nothing marvelously good, but still.

I love love love this manga. The FL isn't some pushover damsel in distress and actually saves herself and the country in a way. Some parts of the story are sad but it all just adds to the plot, and after all is resolved and even during there are still romantic parts of a forbidden lovers type trope which i love. Recommend if your looking for a self made Female Lead with a strong resolve and good plot.

It's a MEH... I gave this a 2 chances...the first is I dropped it early as I thought it was boring and the 2nd time (it still bore me) I tried to persist reading thinking "it might get better in the long run"- but nope.  No substance whatsoever. It's too slow paced and it's quite irritating... I feel little to no chemistry with the ML and FL, I feel like this story was forced to make...
