Honestly it was pretty good until chapter 50 to 59, then I hated it. 4/10, I don't recommend. Minor spoiler ahead regarding the negatives to this manhwa. Let's start with what's good: it's what you expect from the synopsis. No surprises, the characters are fun (until mc crosses the line), mc learns to trust, she grows, she makes plans for the future (decent plans), she has interactions (sort of) with the male lead with a setup to "oh shoot I did a wrong thing and now I have a yandere ml that I have to keep around now, my bad". Now for the bad: I got to thebeginning of the romance, and to put it frankly: our MC (the female lead) treats the male lead poorly and acts without empathy. Anything he did to earn her ire was a direct consequence of her RAISING him to be that way. It completely betrays the expectations I had set for her. I can defend her good intentions, she did all she did to him when she had the brain of a child, but the moment she turned 18 biologically and still had another adult life as a reincarnator stored in her skull she should've had the capacity to realize when prompted that she basically abandoned him and would need to make amends. Is that just written strangely for the drama? Yeah. Was it good writing? No! This absolutely doomed my satisfaction and enjoyment reading this.
And on a lesser negative note I think the abuse she suffered and her revenge should've been a bit less subdued, I did get teary eyed at the start when everyone felt bad for her but it's unsatisfying when her original suffering and later satisfaction is simply implied for the most part.
