Description
As Olivia embraces her new life with Duke Bikander, her family and ex-fiancé desperately cling to her, begging for a love they never gave—will she forgive or forever leave them behind? Olivia loved with all her heart, but her family and fiancé did not reciprocate her feelings. Despite her mother’s belief that sincerity will prevail if she tries her best, Olivia painfully realizes after fourteen years of unrequited love that this is not always the case. When Olivia wanted to leave and start anew, she coincidentally meets a handsome man she saw at a victory celebration for war hero Duke Bikander. The man turns out to be the Duke himself, who asks Olivia to allow him to cherish her as the most precious person in his life. On the day she takes the Duke’s hand and leaves everyone behind, her family and ex-fiancé, who never showed her any love before, suddenly try to hold onto her. It’s ironic how they try to do so now that it’s too late.

My Thoughts on Do Your Best and Regret
"Do Your Best and Regret" is a web novel that certainly evoked strong emotions in me, and it seems like in many other readers as well. This story, centered around Olivia's journey from mistreated daughter to independent woman, definitely has its high points, but also some flaws that held it back from being a truly exceptional read.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise of a heroine escaping a toxic family and finding her own path. Olivia's early struggles are genuinely heartbreaking, and I immediately sympathized with her desire for acceptance and love. The setup is classic web novel fare – a kind but abused female lead, a cold family, and the promise of a supportive male lead. It hits familiar beats, but with enough potential to keep me hooked.
What Works Well
The emotional core of the story is where it truly shines. Olivia's growth from a hopeful pushover to a strong, self-assured woman is rewarding to witness. The relationship between Olivia and Edwin, the male lead, is a definite highlight. He's supportive, respectful, and genuinely cares for her, offering a stark contrast to the abuse she's used to. Their interactions are often described as heart-fluttering and adorable, and I found myself rooting for their happiness. The "regret arc," where Olivia's former tormentors face the consequences of their actions, is also incredibly satisfying. Seeing them finally realize the extent of their cruelty is a cathartic experience.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the translation quality is a significant issue. Many readers have pointed out grammatical errors, awkward phrasing, and confusing dialogue that can make it difficult to fully immerse yourself in the story. I agree with this assessment, as there were quite a few instances where I had to reread passages multiple times to understand what was happening. Additionally, some found the pacing to be slow at times, with the plot progressing unevenly. The characters, while enjoyable, can sometimes feel simplistic and their motivations a bit too binary.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "Do Your Best and Regret" has a compelling story at its heart. If you can overlook the translation issues and appreciate a character-driven narrative with a strong focus on emotional healing and satisfying revenge, then this novel might be worth your time. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
