    I've never really liked stories where villains are reborn and redeem themselves, but this one's an exception. The author portrays the wicked mother-in-law from the past as someone whose intelligence has been lowered and who's been controlled. After her rebirth, she's devoted to her daughter-in-law, and she even has a "Good Mother-in-Law System" as an aid. The system is basically a cheat code—it rewards you for doing things, and you don't get anything if you don't. I like this kind of system. The plot is fast-paced, and revenge is taken immediately. It's quite good.
