The plot was great and I love that the brother is actually a crazy psycho and not just rumoured to be. Also the twist is fun, but the fact that the FL and ML are siblings really threw me off. Yes she's adopted but yall are still brother and sister! How is this okay? I can't deal with that but if you can then give it a try. Reviewed at chapter 17

BRO!!!! THIS!!! IS IT!!  This is so fresh! This is so MWAH! This is so new!  With the hundreds of otome isekai and fantasy adjacent manhwas out there, it's difficult to create new stories and make it distinct from their peers, but this manhwa has done it. The art style isn't super special but what they do with the story is why I'm looking forward to this. I'm not sure about the romance of the story just yet - it seems like the ML is the brother who has yandere tendencies and falls in love with his adopted sister, our FL. I'm not quite sure where this is going so far. To avoid spoilers, I'll just place them way below and one of the main reasons why I like this so much. The FL isn't immediately aware that she was reincarnated in the world until much later on. I like that she doesn't get an edge by preparing before the event's of the novel - so she only acted as her most authentic self. The OG!FL isn't a cruel person. She was also isekai-d into the novel but holds no resentment towards the FL. I like that she's as innocent as our FL and only wants to live the rest of her life in peace. Unlike other isekai manhwas, this is also the first where the FL doesn't get a cheat skill to turn back time. She actually STEALS artifacts to get the ability to reset and that's hilarious to me. Morals? Very grey. Reviewed at Chapter 10.

This manwha got me for its first arc. Although it's common isekai story, the plot is twisted and refreshing. It's hilarious but probably not everyone's favorite because it's black comedy.  At first, FL was a bit selfish and didn't really have attachment to her family, but she was always been funny and she'll get character development (or because she portrayed more serious in latest chapters). And since I love yandere ML, I was looking forward about his rocky relationship with FL. And the initial premise indicates that there will be some run away plot, another trope I love, lol. So that's why, when ML was barely show up in the story, I was starting to lose interest. Not to mention that his interaction with FL was dry and they didn't have chemistry. Their childhood days was more interesting to me. FL monologues too much it becomes boring. I've come across something like this before (in "Beware of Villainess" and "I Will Just Stick to the Protagonist"), but it only happened on early chapters and lessened over time. But, it didn't happen in this manhwa. The run away arc delayed for too long with story that's mostly not related with main goal. I'm on chapter 61 and FL still didn't do anything about her grand escape plan. The art is nice but character design are similiar to each other, especially male. But I think it's still pretty to look at and enjoyable.
