I enjoyed this, but I wish there was better character development. I found the main character very whiney about the simplest things that can be easily corrected. 

I also didn't like how

in every life she doesn't have the memories of that life, like names and how she got to that point in the life, and ends messing things up. It made me very anxious.

A lot of it was quite predictable and repetitive. 

I absolutely loved the plot, I just wish it was executed a little better.
