Anyone else relate to reading an entire fantasy series about wish fulfillment for raising your teenage son better? No one? How about if I throw in weird incestuous sub context in a story already struggling to drag out the plotline of mommy issues past chapter 20 when the root of the problem got resolved via hand wavey nonsense in chapter 1? Also the art is unnerving and just down right sloppy at times.

This Story f****** sucks. The FL is literally just a mentally weak bitch who neglected her son until she was dying. Now that he's an adult, she suddenly regrets not loving him? Many people suffer from mental health issues but that doesnt mean that they can become a goldigger and suddenly not care about their 'loved' ones.

may be some spoilers This story is about a woman who on her death bed realizes she was a horrible mother and wishes that she was more affectionate to her son. As such she goes back in time to when he was 15 years old and tries to reconcile her relationship with him. The story seems like it would be one of the basic second chance mangas but it feels completely different as instead of focusing on revenge or beginning a romance it is about trying to make amends for past mistakes. I really liked that the author chose not to push back time dramatically. They reversed it enough for her to be well and that's it, all the suffering and neglect that she had put her child through is still there and it is about the journey of making that right with him. it is also very easy to sympathize with the characters as they have realistic problems that effect each other and their relationship. I also personally that the characters were all just very fleshed out in their motives. The duchess who became depressed trying to bare the weight of her family realized her mistakes and wants to make amends, the duke who is very stoic and silent who loves her but does not want to be put in a vulnerable position and the son who has been hurt and is weary of his mother's change in personality but wants to welcome it since it is one of the first times he is being given affection in his life. The art was well done and was pretty standard for manhwas.
