Description
I possessed a supporting character who died before three years old. I survived as best as I could, but all that remained was the destined bad ending. To prevent partial destruction of Lefebvre territory, I hid my identity and went to save my favorite character, who died at a young age. “So you’re really here to save me.”“Yes. I… want…to save you.” I thought that as long as I saved that boy, he would grow up and become the youngest commander-in-chief, just like in the original storyline. For his future to become as prestigious as the sun, I had no choice but to hurt him and leave him… * * * “Why do you care so much about me?” “Why do I care so much about you?” Schloetz answered with an indifferent face. “It’s because I have a girl in mind who I want to take over the current princess position.”

My Thoughts on If I Can’t Save You, I’d Rather Die
"If I Can’t Save You, I’d Rather Die" is a title that certainly grabs your attention, promising a whirlwind of drama and emotion. While the premise of reincarnation and unrequited love set against a European-inspired military backdrop intrigued me, my experience with the novel was a mixed bag.
First Impressions
The initial chapters painted a picture of a strong-willed female protagonist (FL) caught in a web of political intrigue and personal sacrifice. The promise of a cold love interest (ML) and a possessive dynamic had me hooked, eager to see how their relationship would unfold. The setting, steeped in military tradition, also added a layer of depth that I appreciated.
What Works Well
The world-building, particularly the European-esque military setting, is a definite strength. The author clearly put effort into crafting a believable environment, and I found myself drawn into the descriptions of courtly life and military campaigns. The initial conflict, with the FL determined to save the ML, also provided a compelling hook.
Areas of Concern
However, as I delved deeper, certain aspects began to detract from my enjoyment. The FL's unwavering devotion to the ML, even in the face of his coldness and, at times, cruel behavior, started to feel less like admirable dedication and more like frustrating naivete. I found myself questioning her decision-making process and wishing she would prioritize her own well-being. The plot's heavy reliance on military details also began to feel repetitive, overshadowing other potentially interesting aspects of the story.

Final Verdict
"If I Can’t Save You, I’d Rather Die" has moments of brilliance, particularly in its world-building and initial premise. However, the problematic character dynamics and questionable plot choices ultimately hindered my enjoyment. While the novel might appeal to readers who enjoy intense, potentially unbalanced, relationships, I found myself wanting more nuance and agency from the protagonist.
