   Not bad, but very overrated. The art is nice, but the story isn’t great at all. Sure, it’s not horrible or totally illogical, and it also doesn’t consist of only annoying genre-typical scenes, but it’s also not very orginal either.
   It’s a light read and has funny moments, so give it a try and judge for yourself.
   In my personal opinion, I really, really wished this story was an actual comedy; but for this to happen, all the death threats and dark drama parts would have to be discarded. Which would be awesome, because they are neither believable nor creative or even just interesting.
   Way too many chapters only focus on the interaction between the male lead and female lead, other characters are reduced into mere sparks that ignite new events for the main couple to once again work together and then talk like forever – including stories about the sadly typical dark-haired taciturn overpowered and also high-status-noble male lead’s dark emo past as some sort of demon or artificial human or whatever….
   The female lead is not relatable at all – after meeting the male lead, she constantly grins and acts like she’s immortal, like nothing bad could ever happen to her – she even jumps into any risky or dangerous situation smiling in absolute trust that the male lead is going to protect and save her. Maybe because she has realized that she has massive transmigrator perks and so she doesn’t need to plan things properly or act smart at all?
   The male lead is supposed to be emotionless because of his nature, but of course the only human being he has feelings for is the female lead, which starts at their first meeting, otherwise he would just reject her and the whole story wouldn’t exist in the first place.
   Even when the male lead has enough of the female lead’s shenanigans and wants to throw her out, she’s “conveniently” hit by a magic retaliation just in the exact right moment and falls unconscious (a cliché thing that 99% of all fantasy romance female leads have to go through) only so that the male lead can realize how deep his feelings for her are, and such she escapes the danger of being dumped…
   Sure, it could be worse, but I’m still feeling a bit sad about all the potential the basic ideas of this story had to offer but are just left unused.
