Synopsis

[Harry Potter] Tom Riddle/Alphaeus Black love triangle, simmering tension, everyone’s favorite, Founders-era first-love-and-white-moonlight grindset, and even villains get their springtime

The complete novel is finished! Dive in without worry!

I was such a fool. I really was. I thought starting out in an orphanage was already bad enough, until I found out the black-haired, dark-eyed boy I fell in love with at first sight was a Parselmouth.

Is this the reward for my past life as a 996 corporate slave and Harry Potter fanfic writer?

Thanks for asking. I’ve just transmigrated into the Harry Potter world, and I’m at Wool’s Orphanage. I’ve just learned that the boy next door is Tom Riddle, AKA the Dark Lord.

Following the usual fanfic formula, all I have to do as his childhood sweetheart and first love is love him, protect him, and redeem him, and I’ll save the wizarding world and get a happy ending.

But why is this plot getting more and more like the original series???

Nia, calmly: Where can I buy a survival guide for growing up with the Dark Lord?

He said he’d outwork the Dark Lord, so Nia resolved to become a top overachiever, even if it meant being the Dark Lord’s childhood companion.

But when she focused so hard on her studies and career that she nearly turned into the Dark Lord herself, why did everyone around her start wearing their rivalry for her right on their faces?

Riddle said nothing. He simply kept her captive, taking her hand and guiding her fingertips across his face. “You like this face, don’t you? I’ll keep it beautiful forever.

“Just don’t leave me, Nia.

I read the latest chapter in one go! I have to say, starting directly from fifth grade saves a lot of trouble; it's a genius design! [I understand] The female lead is very cute, as are the male guests; each has their own unique characteristics and flavor. Alpha, go for it! Don't let down all the sisters in the comments section who want your "if" storyline!

It's not bad, but I feel like Black is better than Riddle. Can't the second male lead take his place? Riddle is driving me crazy. 🙂 (Maybe it's because Black has more screen time with the female lead, and I like his type, so I have a soft spot for him?) Although I quite like Riddle, I usually tend to like the female lead more when reading books, meaning I agree with her without any reason.

The writing is quite good, smooth, and doesn't feel out of place. However, I'm annoyed by the fact that the female lead seems to always be psychologically victorious. It's one thing to be at a disadvantage in her interactions with Riddle, but she also doesn't retaliate in conflicts with others (neither physically nor verbally, basically just ignoring them, with friends helping her fight back).

A heads-up: Tom Riddle is no good. The back-and-forth between him and Nia is one of the highlights, but it ends around graduation; the rest might not be breast-friendly. To reiterate, Tom Riddle is no good. This is a story of a strong female lead and an even stronger male lead.

It's a very good book, but some people always feel it's not exciting enough and consider it a red flag. However, I think the female lead is portrayed very normally, and the tone of the book is already set in the early stages: the female lead is the kind who gradually increases her strength. She can't possibly defeat Voldemort all at once.

It's well-written. It would be even better if the male lead wasn't Riddle. Keep it up! But I might not be able to continue reading. I feel like the female lead is love-struck. Yes, love-struck.

First, a word of caution: The plot hasn't developed a clear romantic relationship between the male and female leads so far. The male lead is very much like Riddle, currently prioritizing his own interests over the female lead's, though he implicitly accepts her as his girlfriend. The female lead, on the opposing side, is forced to open the book to save the world.

The writing is incredibly smooth and enjoyable!! Many descriptions are perfectly timed and evocative. Riddle's beauty is simply irresistible 😢😢 I'm craving the strong, conflicting emotions between the two main characters (in other words, Riddle shouldn't be involved in any philandering). The "heartthrob" is so captivating... Who can truly understand Alphad's "princess"?!

It's a good read, the writing is quite good, and the Riddle pairing is exceptionally well-written. This is the best I've read so far, especially with the all-inclusive theme, it's so satisfying! I hope there will be extra chapters for the other characters 🥰 Goodbye, see you again someday. The female lead just can't bring herself to be ruthless towards Riddle. She only said she was leaving once or twice, and then she never came back. She's really a bit love-struck.

Seeing those people clamoring for a change of male lead is really speechless. If you don't want to read this, go read other fanfiction! 🙂 The author writes so well. I didn't expect to come back to Riddle after all this time. It's a familiar feeling, very comforting. Thank you for creating this content! 😌
