Description
For ten years, I held an unrequited love for him. That he was the heir to our enemy family meant nothing. I was happy even when I was sold off into marriage, like a transaction between families. However, he still saw me as nothing more than the daughter of his enemy. Our once-a-month, obligatory night together was the only time I could see his face. But I didn’t mind. Not until our child died. “Stay quiet in that room and act as if you don’t exist. It’ll be for your own good.” I hated him. I resented him for ignoring our child’s death, for being indifferent to my despair and sorrow. Thus, I chose to end my own life. Then, I regressed countless times. Determined to never be entangled with him again, I fled the arranged marriage and married another. But in every life, I could never have my precious child, Deynión. On my eleventh return, I found myself standing before him once more, at our wedding. “Do you, the bride, Juliana de Heyster, swear upon the mission Heyster had entrusted to you to love the man before you?” “Yes.” No. There will be no love between us. Once I have the child I want from you, I will disappear.

My Thoughts on I Only Want Your Child
"I Only Want Your Child" is a web novel that grabbed my attention with its intriguing title and the promise of a complex relationship drama. After diving in, I can see why it has garnered a dedicated following, even if it's not without its flaws.
First Impressions
The premise, revolving around an arranged marriage and a protagonist with a clear, almost calculating goal, immediately sets the stage for a unique story. I was drawn in by the potential for emotional depth and the exploration of unconventional desires. The European-esque setting also adds a layer of sophistication and intrigue.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of this novel is the female lead. I found her to be refreshingly sensible and appreciated the logic behind her actions and emotions. Her determination to navigate her circumstances, even when faced with a seemingly cold and arrogant male lead, is compelling. The author does a good job of portraying her as cunning and resourceful, making her a character I genuinely wanted to root for. Also, the male lead's character development seems promising. I'm particularly interested in seeing him strive to become a better person. This kind of growth is always a plus in my book.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the initial setup, I did find some elements a bit frustrating. The "other woman" trope, in particular, felt somewhat overdone. Her actions and motivations sometimes bordered on the cringeworthy, and I found myself wanting to skip over her point of view. I also feel that the female lead becomes less compelling as the story progresses.

Final Verdict
Overall, "I Only Want Your Child" is an engaging read with a strong female lead and the potential for compelling character development in the male lead. While certain tropes and plot points may not appeal to all readers, the unique premise and the promise of emotional complexity make it worth checking out. I'd give it a solid 3.75 out of 5 stars.
