I feel bad giving this under 4 stars but well.
I'm a transmigration novel reader and when I saw this I had to read it.
Honestly I don't have any misgivings about the story as a whole, it's as you would expect from the blurb. Mainly its about two people who's lives abruptly took a turn (in a bad way) and they find each other through this book series (inside the book that is). It made me laugh sometimes for sure but other times the characters said such cringe stuff and tried to be poetic ... my tolerance is sort of low when it comes to these things. But that's very subjective, oh and now I get that his eyes were this unnatural green cause of the novels effects but the way he was described... he tastes like mint, his eyes are a peridot green, green green green I wouldn't be surprised if he next bled green too - it was kind of half his character trait besides being grumpy
Also I don't fully get the beef they had going on in the very beginning, when she said she'd push him off a cliff 💀
And after the first meeting their relationship exponentially got worse until the third meeting and with just an apology we're over it? I tell you if he wasn't pretty that would not go the way it did
+ she kept saying she was broken and I cant take it seriously, I'm sorry
Yk what I also didn't need to know what he ate before every kiss, I was kind of holding back puke (ex. "He tasted like onion rings and strong drink and sugared spaghetti")
Sweetheart is also not my fav pet name but that doesn't effect my rating, there's much worse.
But what kinda did really bug me was that he kept walking backwards? What was up with that?
So in summary: overall I enjoyed it, it wrapped up nice but all the little things about the characters that I didn't like chipped away at the rating 🫢
If you like growling, glowing green eyed, grumpy-ish mmc's this might be to your liking
And a fmc that's in her head a lot -she's not fully sunshine yet cause she's broken, yk?
And friendships were also such a big focal point
I sound so negative, it's actually fine TT most of the time
I liked the atmosphere, it actually felt like she was in a magical world 🌸
