Strong FL with good mind and excellent sword skills! Trauma is not glossed over. Red-haired ML strong too. Power couple! FL's friends are great! ML's friends are also great. Plot is interesting - typical travelling back in time, but FL is a swordswoman who wants to take revenge on previous evil commander and in general, just be a better person this life. But ah, workplace ethics and slight favoritism?... A bit of a power imbalance as ML is FL's commander after all. But I'll look over it because ML is a good person and FL is almost as strong as ML (FL is an aether master, which means she's pretty OP). Art is okay.  Anyway, pretty solid time-travel webtoon with a sensible FL and sensible ML.

I'm liking this so far but I don't really get what's going on with the fl and ml- like you barely know her why are you trying so hard to please her?? Like you have literally no reason to. It just weirds me out, I guess it just feels a bit forced it it's still okay. I also feel like the female lead isn't actually a strong person even though she's supposed to be but maybe she's still in shock and that's why she's always on the verge of tears and saying stupid stuff. Additionally I feel like virtually all of the side characters have zero personality but I had a bad day so maybe I'm being over critical haha. The art is great, a little awkward at first but refreshing, it's consistent and very pretty. as I said before the romance aspect weirds me out, like I expected romance, i looked at the tags but I think it's suuuuuppppeeerrr strange that, they met, got in a sword fight, and all of a sudden they're all ✨blushy blushy✨ It's beyond me and I find it awkward. Hopefully it gets better when they inevitably get together- Oo that rhymed! The story is nothing too new but interesting, I don't have too much to say about it.  so yeah it's perfectly fine, not my favorite so far but I like it all the same. p.s. I'm totally chill with ml and me being together, im not sour about the prospect of that, they look good together. I just think it's terribly awkward, I'd still give it a shot though, it's just my opinion and I think it's a good read if you will.

I really like this story. The main character is super strong, her friends are all extremely kind and also have power of their own, and the love interest is super sweet and charming. The story itself is really interesting and makes me want to read more. My one gripe would be a couple issues with the art (it's beautiful, but there are a few panels that stand out as a little wonky) and how quickly the male lead fell in love with the female lead. Other than that, it's a really good story, and I recommend!
