Initially, I had high hopes for this one because:
1) The manhwa was drawn by Redice (so at least i won't be disappointed by the art),
2) There are plenty of chapters, so I thought I'd enjoy reading through it in one go,
3) It's a finished/completed manhwa, so I don't have to come back to finish reading it later.

But man, it became extremely repetitive. It is established straight from Chapter 1 that the "main" antagonist is the CEO of a big corporation - I get it, corpo evil, but also super rich, but it was almost as if that company had 9 lives. It ... took 100+ chapters to make a significant negative impact on them, and even now at Chapter 257 (where I decided to drop it) the company's people STILL exist.

The MC is a generic copy of Sung Jin-woo (Solo Leveling), and his teammates are very hyped up as he gathers them like Pokemon, but in the end, they are just useless pawns. None of them have an impact on the story anymore.

Extremely disappointing.

Personal note: The later part of the story (from around chapter 96, they become teens and go off to their local magic school) is NOT recommended. It would have been good if the story just ended there.

The art is okay, nothing spectacular.

Although the title says "Twins", the story mostly focuses on the girl twin. There is little to no character development. The story felt very lackluster, too, maybe it was because they started the story with a serious plot from the get go.
All of the side characters were good, though.

Overall, the issues that the "twins" have to face with are usually ... solved through a repeated method. The problem-solving part got boring real fast.

The romantic interest also felt very forced. It would have been completely fine - and even better if it wasn't added at all. What bothered me the most about it was that none of their interactions ever leaned that way, alongside how the specific character in question is depicted in such a bad way that I saw two red flags. Even the twins' brothers have a brief interaction over how bad it is, but the author still shakes it off as if it's nothing lol

[I read until the end of Season 2]
tldr; >reincarnated into a child's body,
>doesn't stretch out the "childhood phase" too much,
>story pace up till S3 has been perfect for me so far.
>There IS magic in the world, but it isn't used to solve everything.

Main points:
- The art gets better the more you read, some scenes even made me want to get back into trying to draw. The main character and her sister are always dressed up prettily. You won't get bored of their wardrobe.

-The main character is an adult in a child's body, yes, which leads to her acting like a ... child (as she should) at times. But overall, her childishness and maturity is presented in a fairly balanced way. She doesn't do any of the typical "I'm gonna make use of the skills/information from my past life" things, either.

-The chapters start off lighthearted, but steadily descends into more serious topics.

tldr; refreshing fusion of the commonly-found, overpowered FL with a level-up system granted by gods. I honestly don't know why this isn't more of a thing in manhwas. Overall, there's alchemy, religion, and a sprinkle of nobles (with no mention of a king/emperor) so far. I don't think the story will push hard for the usual nobility drama because it's been avoiding/making fun of the usual cliches.

The manhwa artist has a knack for choosing pretty colors, draws fairly nice art (and thankfully, no absurd body proportions). The main character's facial expressions are also pretty unique compared to the average manhwa.

As for the story, ... so far, it has been pretty good in Season 1. The general pacing doesn't feel too slow (which is unfortunately usually the case when the MC is a child/in a child body) or too fast. The next season seems to be set at least a few years into the future, so I am excited to see how it comes out.

tldr; Idol/Acting anime that ends on a cliffhanger almost every episode. A few episodes feel long, but others seem short.

The characters are alright, though there wasn't that much character growth. There was one small-to-mid-size development in the story, but I guess that's what happens when there are two "main" characters. I understand that when it comes to these types of stories, it's hard to rush things, but it was still unsatisfying. The end of the season just left me with a "Is that it??" type of feeling.

On the other hand, I may have had too high of an expectation because of the hype ... surrounding the first episode.

I wouldn't go out of my way to watch the next season. I WOULD consider watching it if I run out of things to watch, though.

85% recommended, 15% mixed feelings because the chapters near the end, starting from around Ch. 120, were way too rushed.

tldr; no reincarnation but the main character gets visions of her future, a pure political drama series, the novel has the juicy parts, the art is pretty good.

Usually when it comes to these characters who either got reincarnated or have some sort of knowledge that almost seem like a cheat code, I am impressed by how "smart" they are at handling things but in this manhwa, I was more impressed by how the main character was already actually very clever/had good social awareness. It didn't ... feel like everything was just being handed to her for free.

As for the overall story, it was good - there wasn't any magic used in this world, so it felt more close to reality which felt nice since it is so commonplace with these types of manhwas. I just really wish they took their time with fleshing out the ending. In a few of the chapters right at the end, there were almost 3-4 major events happening in one chapter. And as readers, we weren't given any chance to let the story development sit with us at all.

Despite the rushed ending, I would still put it above than the average shoujo manhwa. My score was only lowered from 8 to 7 because of the rushed ending.

As a 20-something reader, this was one of the manhwas that was the hardest for me to finish.

Maybe it is me being used to the main character being cool-headed, but I was only able to feel ok about the FL only after the main story finished. On the other hand, I had no problems with the epilogue.

The villain got up to so much unnecessary things, for no good reason except for how she has always stolen the FL's love interests lol. The characters felt very basic, from how I read it, it didn't feel like they had any character development.

The only thing ... that I can give a thumbs up for is the art. And that's pretty much it.

tldr; a cute manga to binge read.

The art was fairly standard, both the main characters were better drawn as the chapters went on.

As for the story, I teared up/cried once during these 54 chapters but then again I cry very easily so don't trust me on this. The main plot is pretty straightforward, they are a high school couple, but turns out the ML is the son of a strict household that ended up having 2 Prime Ministers, so they have to manage their relationship alongside having to follow the rules set by the family for generations.

Thankfully, there wasn't any extra drama ... - there is no rival, and the misunderstandings aren't drawn out that long. However, there are a few chapters here and there, where it may feel a bit overwhelming because of all the information that's been dumped on the readers.

Overall, this felt like one of those oneshot mangas, but in 54 chapters. I wish the author showed us what happened after the ending.

tldr; gave off the same feelings i get from minecraft, but instead of survival, the main character is obsessed with books

I pretty much binged this, each episode feels very light but doesn't have any filler content. At the start, the art felt a bit lackluster, but I got used to it + it probably got a bit better as the episodes went by.

As for the story, I teared up/cried at least 2-3 times during these 14 episodes. Yes, it's an isekai but not the typical one. Maybe it's because I like slice of life stories, but it felt like I was watching one of ... those because there isn't any BIG drama. Alongside a pair of loving parents and an older sister, our main character has a way of getting on the good side of people, so it wasn't stressful at all to watch.

The opening and ending songs are nice, too. I'm down to watch the next season. :)

Oh lord, so far, with 96 chapters in, this made me cry/tear up at least 3 times (do note that i was listening to golden hour - Fujii Kaze remix on loop as I was reading this manhwa) - you could almost think of it as a handbook for how to evenly give attention to your kids as a stepmom.

The art is pretty. I would rate it around 8/10. One thing that I might nitpick is the fact that they give "bigger" noses to the stepsisters to make it seem as if they are "unattractive". But I guess it's hard to make a character ... look unattractive without giving them the typical snobby look.

Yes, it's an isekai/reincarnation manga, again. On one hand, it's always nice whenever there is world building and what not, but it doesn't push the fact that the stepmother is reincarnated, and focuses more on how she tries to be a good parent to the three girls. The events that happen as she does try do so is overall very wholesome. In some scenes, she expresses her thoughts in such an efficient way that she is now like a "model mother" for me lol

Of course, there is a bit of drama to get things going, but I don't think the manhwa will suddenly become tragic after this many chapters. So there is very little to no chance of accidentally torturing yourself with this one.
