I didn't expect to love this story as much as I'm loving it right now, and this is the first 5* danmei I've read this year.

I love how the plot is exactly like what the synopsis gave us. It's straightforward, we know that the the ML will die three times, transmigrated three times, and that our MC will marry him three times. However, that doesn't mean that I didn't cry my eyes out when I read those death scenes, especially the second death. It broke me as much as it broke the MC.

I love their love, and how they love each other. I mean how can I not love this “power couple doing bad things together” dynamic? Both the ML and MC are extraordinarily smart, and we can see that in how they carry themselves. I particularly love how the ML is observant towards people around him especially because we know how much he doesn't care for other things except for the MC and sleeping.

They accept and love each other as who they are, and I think that's the best part of their dynamic. The ML told the MC this, “Don't baobei, do what you want to do. If you change yourself for our relationship then that'll make me a scumbag.” He doesn't try to change the MC or ask him to do things the MC doesn't want to do. He enables and encourages the MC which I find both amusing and hilarious.

Also, I love how there was no miscommunication or misunderstanding between them. They are very honest and blunt with each other, it leaves no space for any misunderstanding to occur and I'll be honest, I hate miscommunication trope. I think this is also why their relationship is so strong, their trust in each other is a very solid foundation. Also, the very reason why I love this couple so much.

I love the extras, I wish we had more actually because it's so fun reading them in a modern setting.

This is a very good novel, I wish we had more but it's really good. Please read it.

emotional funny lighthearted sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

My chocolate:
--Romance and plot which are almost perfectly balanced
---Extras that are pure tooth rotting fluff

My pickles:
-- Main characters that are too strong
-- Abundance of over descriptions (usual in danmei novels)
-- Some unexplainable plot points (usual in isekais)

Overall:
One of my current favorites right now. I really don't care usually for plot when it comes to danmei but I do prefer that there at least some semblance of it which this one has. Not sure if I will reread again but this is a bit of a fresh air compare to my recent danmei readings. Has more comedic tone, however, it is great when the moments need weight.

Final Rating: Delicious spaghetti with too much sauce
