I love the FL so far, she is kind, smart, and is not wasting her second chance at life. The plot is addictive. Thank you so much translators and editors.

Dropped until ch 130 😣 the story has a promising background but unfortunately the author didn’t really expand her horizons. The title didn’t really live up to its name “ I dont to be loved” hahaha. You would think that the FL is being kind and just but she is ignorant. I dont hate weak FL but she made me do. The only thing I like about this story is the ML mother

This novel is one of my fave. The story is kinda cliche, but the one that makes me absorbed into this story is how the female and male lead seems so real. Their pain, and their “heartless” act regarding preventing the same painful past happening again, is on the right amount. Both of them is not s*upid, but both of them also had a lot of trust issues because the family background and how they were raised up. And the romance is just so sweet. The translation is good, made... more>> me enjoy the story flow even more. Definitely 5 star story for me, ans interesting to re-read again and again. <<less

The story started good but it got boring along the way when the FL went back to Arundel — too many insignificant and unnecessary detailed scenes started to build up, when it can actually be shorten up. I skipped many chapters. Hopefully the story will focus more on the progress between the FL and ML in the upcoming chapters. Good to read to past time. I'll give this 3 stars, can't edit the "star" button.

I LOVE THIS NOVEL SO MUCH!!!!.

eventho the FL is being hurt, I like how the ML also get back to the past to follow FL and fix everthing that he ever did.

Hopefully some official side would like to translate this novel also.

Honestly, this is the first novel I've read where two connected people went back in time. The first part of the story was full of heartache and disappointments but now I'm looking forward to their progress as they each correct their mistakes on their own. More please ?

curious about the story ; seems to be interesting with multiple reincarnations. Nothing to say about the translation, flawless.

But like others readers, I feel chapters are too short, it costs a star too. I totally agree : splitting chapters in a "long" (or "elaborate") story slows down/hinders the pace of the plot/flow - Just like RE, I wait few translated chapters each times to really enjoy the story (MTL is such a blessing but dangerous for my brain ;)). Anyway, it's still very VERY nice to find korean novels well... more>> translated <3

Let pass some releases, just be patient to not miss a nice novel (and hé hé, hot to be) ! <<less

Well, this novel about second chance. Both the ML and FL were reborn. The plot is typical about how ML was being a jerk in previous life with and when he get a second chance, he desperately wants to atone his sins especially towards the FL. Based on my opinion, this ML as a King, made so much of terrible choices and decisions in his first life that makes me wonder how old was he lollll because it was never mentioned his real age 🤔

1. The plot is simple. Is... more>> all misunderstandings because the freaking King and Queen were acting like a hormonal teenager instead of sit and talk to solve their issues. The schemes by the villains were just mehhhh. Not that interesting. 2. There were few supporting characters but nothing memorable about them. They were just there for the plot's sake.

3. ML. He did mistakes and tried his best to atone for his sins. He was a King but one of the weakest King I've ever encounter as compared to other novels. This dude was like so immature, jealous for no reason and his lack of communication and trust that eventually leads to the downfall in his first life. Thank god he did changed and become anda better King/husband. 4. FL. This FL was really pissing me off. She freaking died in her first life and when she was reborn, she just run and did NOTHING. She was a freaking countess for god's sake. I understand that she did not wants to revenge and choose to leave and live a peaceful life but still she was useless. She has a tragic first life and I was really hoping that she will become strong and fight and do something for her country. But she just back away. It was the ML and her cousin that did all the works. She still carried her previous trauma into her second life and the cried and kept on refusing to give chance to the ML to explained himself. Her character is boring and nothing exceptional.

5. Trigger alert : r*pe. In the first life, right from the first night, he already forced himself on her because he thought she betrayed him. And he freaking knew that it caused her so much pain and trauma. Everytime he had s*x with her, there will be no foreplay, and it will caused pain to FL. There were times when she just fainted. The ML will feel guilty the next day when he saw the bruises but he will repeat again his action because he was angry and lost control. And the FL, instead of saying or doing anything she just cried. Like how weak can you be. That's the problem with the character, she did absolute NOTHING and endure it.

The only character I like in these novel were Basil, the King's personal assistant and Dimi, the FL's cousin. I was more interest with their story although it was only little. They actually did quit a wonderful job in keeping the two countries at peace. Without them, both the King and Queen will be long dead. <<less

As I read several reviews, I came to the conclusion this really isn’t for everyone. Reading this made me feel so much emotion, it was as if my heart was in a rollercoaster ride. Both main characters are flawed. They are nowhere near perfect. Both are traumatized and misunderstood. They sinned and made huge mistakes in their past, especially the ml. Warning that if you’re planning to read this, ML isn’t your typical perfect knight in shining armor. You will hate some of his decisions and even loathe him. However,... more>> as I slowly got to know him through the later chapters and found revelations about their misunderstandings, he genuinely loved and cared for fl, and the journey reading this was, as I said, was a rollercoaster of emotions.

I’ve read and watched similar romance stories in the past like this. This isn’t your typical fluffy love story. They are both humans who are flawed, experienced tragic incidents in their lives and hurt each other deeply because of their decisions and misunderstandings. Now, it is up to them to dwell in the past, forgive and forget each other, or forgive and communicate and fight for what their hearts truly desire. You will feel their frustrations and struggles moving past their trauma but in the end, it is up to them to conquer all of that and accept and COMMUNICATE what they truly feel for each other.

As I was nearing the end, I really thought this would have a tragic ending but I was wrong. I’m glad the main characters are finally happy together and found peace. Such a great ending. Thank you so much to the author and translators. I enjoyed reading this. <<less

I know many people complaining about this novel and FL but honestly it is not that bad... the FL is just not typical "i can do it, revenge time, blablabla" suddenly-become-strong FL like in other novel. She is just that gentle, and this is more believable to me that when someone regress and depressed, they can't immediately change things and become OP like other heroine in other revenge theme novel. The theme is never about revenge in this story, it is more like mellow drama and for me, it does... more>> suit my taste.

It is true, the FL was basically doing nothing and ML did all the hard work and effort but in my point of view, it is just like it is.. from the beginning, FL was someone who weak, passive, not confident, added with mistreatment she received from her family and people close to her, it can't be helped if indeed she become that obedient, timid person. On the other hand, ML since beginning did things more actively and it stays like that after regressed. FL is like water and ML is like fire, for me they just completed each other perfectly.

My rating is 4.5/5 for this, what an enjoyable ride! <<less

So much heartaches and misunderstandings and yet still so sweet at the same time. Well, in fact, the misunderstanding part occupied at least 80% of the story, so yeah, prepare to be frustrated a bit before reading this novel.

I know that the misunderstanding part was necessary since it was the main plot of this novel but I still feel like smacking both MC and ML's heads for their lack of communication. ML chose to hide everything because he didn't want to burden MC but it made her went further away... more>> from him and even costed her and their baby's life in the past life. It didn't improve much in their current life. But when ML was finally ready to tell MC everything, she was too afraid to hear the truth and refused to listen anything that he said. It was near the end of the novel when finally, they had heart to heart talk and cleared their misunderstandings.

I'm happy that after going through so much both in the past and current life, MC and ML finally could get their happily ever after. They really deserved it. <<less

Introvert/pessimist MC met with cold/wooden ML. That, added with the lack of communication, was the recipe for their tragic end previously.

Their story tells how crucial communication is in any relationship. And how seemingly small misunderstanding will accumulate and you'll find yourself with mountains of tangled up mess when it might be too late.

Even though the plot was full of angst initially, for me, at least it ended satisfactory. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

For anyone who is reading the comments to decide weather it's worth reading: it is! I was doubtful too, especially because of the toxic main lead from the comments below BUT it changes. There is more to the story than thr female lead knows. Also we start very early. In other light novels the first chapter is the wedding or engagement etc. This one focuses on the female leads life first. I was not sure if I would like this tbh because I wanted to read romance specifically and it... more>> definitely is worth it. Things in the begging that made me want to drop (for example first wedding night) were explained later on and it’s just very well written for a light novel.

It’s just sad that there is no continuation for it at the moment so I will be looking at other pages. <<less

Too bad the link is dead.

This was a sweet rebirth story about a couple who misunderstood each other and got a second chance. There is some hanky panky, but it was tastefully written and nothing too over the top.

I gave 5 just to uplift the rating bcs it doesnt deserve its current number. This ones worthy of reading too (actual rate is 4.5)

It'll make you hate, love and curse and cry for the sake of characters but do not judge its quality based on few chapters. Again as I always say on my reviews, DO NOT TRUST those reviewers who gives low rate and neg criticism and yet they only manage to read quarter of the total available number of chapters. This one is worthy. Atleast part... more>> of my top 10 smut-romance so far. (W/ quality of trans, writing and plot) <<less

Although going back to the past is not new when it comes to korean novel but I like the flow of the story, how the future events changes. It's also refreshing how both ML and FL went back to the past try to undo the misfortune of their lives together. Honestly I already figured much hoe the story will proceed but I'm still looking forward to read the entire story until the end

I am really looking forward in the complete translation of this novel. I read the spoilers and I can’t wait to read the whole plot. Regardless of ML’s faults and failures, I can’t deny his love for FL. So, I wish I can properly read the complete translations.

This story has a really good premise and I really like the MC but the ML is just such a poorly written character that its almost painful to read. I can see an attempt at making him multi dimensional but it comes off as abusive and guilt tripping. I think the novel would have done much better if the writer hadn't set up the ML to be such an awful person. It's a shame because the translation, albeit confusing at times, is really good!

The intro is similar to Reboot Sienna as I like Reboot Sienna very much so I read this novel.

But I am disappoint Rihannan married a prince with recommend from the mother of the king. The king and his mother is rival/enemy on political level so it making Igor (the king) wary of Rihannan making her relationship with the king a loveless marriage life. There is also possible lover of the king too acting as one of the cause of Rihannan's death in the first timeline. As the story progress, the... more>> end game should still be Igor (the king) in the second timeline too even all those event.

These all look similar to the beginning plot of Reboot Sienna. But I like Sienna more than Rihannan. She too an idiot, a tool, a cannon fodder that die miserably in the first time line. But at least on the second timeline Sienna changed, she know her wrong, acknowledge it and try to change herself. This make me accept that Carl (her husband) reaction to her change too as she is not political inclination to his enemy (the step-mother of the king) anymore.

As for Rihannan, in the second timeline, she herself did not change much, The one who change is Igor (the king). So this is like the slag king's redemption story instead of cannon fodder counter attack story that I like to read. LoL

Spoiler

Igor (the king) remember the event in the first timeline too
