   It might be because I downloaded it without using mobile data (to avoid ads), so my reading time wasn't long enough. But!!! It's incredibly good! The protagonist isn't a saint, it's very satisfying, and I admire her self-interest! There aren't a single flaw! Overall, it flows very smoothly! The only issue is the slightly large timeline, but that's not a big problem. It's great! I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story, even though it's already finished! I want to read the next book!

   I just realized my favorite book doesn't have a rating! It's absolutely amazing, a truly incredible read, and my absolute favorite female-centric novel. I felt so incredibly happy when the female lead became empress! Besides the main characters, the most memorable character for me right now is the villainous supporting character—she's so smart and powerful! It feels like the female lead is only slightly weaker, yet this villain became empress; no one can outmaneuver her. She's so strong, so incredibly intelligent! Everyone was scheming and plotting, and during the most exciting parts of the game, I felt like I couldn't breathe. Sigh, I wish they could write another 100+ chapters of side stories!
