so there’s an ancient arc where the original owner was r*ped and killed due to someone’s plot. Obviously when the FL comes into the story she kills the rapist instead. I kid you not when I say this, as soon as the FL left the place, the ML popped out of hiding and when like, “mmmh interesting” and I’m like WHAT THE ACTUAL f*ck?

like was he hiding there watching a girl be violated until she died and did nothing?

only when the FL came in and killed the guy did she gain his interest? Like? The f*ck?

the zombie arc. This guy had caused the death of so many people and even ruined their chance at a next life. Like literally closed the entire f*cking reincarnation route. He even s**ked up their souls as energy. And when the FL finds out that he is the mastermind behind everything- lord have mercy!

she just puts on a sorrowful expression and asks him why. Then she doesn’t bother to pursue the matter or make him fix his mistakes. She then assured him that she’d stay with him. They stayed together for 80 f*cking years and non of them ever thought to fox the f*cking mistake.

the ML was supposed to be punished not to reincarnate but guess who we see in the next life?

HIM dressed as a s*um who killed the original owner, Again.

the only punishment he received was Being mortal. S*upid.

This is fine, since some people might like that lightheartedness in novels, however, what I didn't like about it I guess was that it highlighted the hypocrisy of the FL. It was stressed multiple times throughout the novel that the FL admits that she is no Mary Sue or saint when it came to moral matters, but I guess with how bad the "Children of Destiny" aka the leads in each world were so obnoxiously s*upid/bad, it makes you forget that the FL herself isn't the best person either, and the more it went on, I found it harder for myself to like the FL because by the middle of it, she was no different from the other leads in other worlds, just actually smart, and capable.

Her main goal was to take revenge on the lord god and eventually, as the novel went on, was to be with her lover and defeat the lord god. She hated the fact that she was basically a tool/plaything in the eyes of the lord god and was set to just be cannon fodder or an easily disposable chess piece that is forgotten quickly. However, her attitude when going into different worlds and even the actions of forgiving her partner when he was literally just as bad as the bad guys as if it was not his fault was such a s*umbag move that literally felt as if she was playing a game in the worlds; as if every world was a toy and that peoples lives were also quickly forgotten, because her overall goal was to just get the power and achieve her bigger picture of defeating the lord god.

I think one world that really made me feel the hypocrisy of the FL was the zombie one:

We find out that the ML was the same from the previous world and this new world is just time fast forward and because she previously dies, he becomes crazy and decides to destroy the world by allowing the zombie virus to spread and even uses the souls of people to be fed as nourishment aka they can no longer reincarnate and they don't have that "second chance" of life. He technically did what the lord god wanted to do to the FL and in the end she was like "oh huhu he just loves me so much what can I do : (" GURL??? and then she just let it move on... it truly feels like she only cares about herself and her lover and excuses his actions because it was technically the setting/behaviour of the original body/character they possessed (which I disagree with because the body he got was the type to not care about anything too much to destroy the world in the first place so im sure it was really because of the ML) but that also shows how she considers every world as a setting that she doesn't have to take too seriously. I mean it's not like she can't have those feelings, especially with what she's gone through but wow it's not an appealing character.

And something about the authors choice of characters that they made the FL possess also made me feel a bit iffy about her, there were a few times were she possessed genuinely bad characters who did harm and deserved to be punished but because she took over it doesn't matter anymore. If it were the case that these things didn't happen in this timeline it's fine, but there were times where the leads of the world were reborn, and although they themselves are not good, it's like from their perspective, the bad guys will always win.

However, I feel like I wouldn't feel this way if the author just didn't write maybe 4 or 5 out of the 20+ worlds as they probably wouldn't make a difference in the plot that much. But they did, and so it irked me.

However, all of this ties in the end (but in my opinion not really in a good way, knowing that this was really just an experimentation of our ML, and our FL is just technically a system that was meant to learn human emotions through his program and fall in love with him... which is... idk... I feel like all of my emotions and the rant I just had were meant for nothing because they truly were just virtual worlds and I now feel so conflicted HAHAHA no wonder they didn't take it that seriously. It now just feels like this went longer than it should have because of how short the reality world was that literally was the true plot and made all these other worlds almost useless.... you don't really feel that she grows from any of the worlds nor learns much from anything so I feel like the author could have written at most 15 worlds to make this novel a better read lmao plus the extras were pretty boring and I felt somehow that the their relationship and just the characters of the ML and FL were just a bit unrecognizable lmao

At first, when MC has the memory of her previous lives and does not know ML yet, the romance was thrilling. ML then appears in her next worlds with no memory of his past lives with her, which is still very enjoyable to read. Then, plot twist: ML will regain his memories and he actually knows more about what's going on that MC. Because they both know, the romance (and the story) became somewhat boring and predictable. Several arcs later, ML seals MC's memories and then it's MC's turn to be 'in the dark.' It became interesting again, but lost the thrill again soonafter. Even the fanwai did not bring back the excitement for me, the reader.

proposes to her everytime using the exact same purple ring.

one of my fave arcs in terms of this ring is the female president arc, where they first met in a charity auction and the ML actually put their "wedding ring" (as the MC calls it) for auction. The MC was so mad lmao
