Description
Driel Stein, the Lord of Arhon. The unfortunate fact that he did not love his wife, Lune Hellid, was well-known to most. “To all the gods I swear; I will never love someone like you. Rather than spending the rest of my life with you, I would rather die on the battlefield.” Lune, having heard insults from her husband on the day of their wedding, became the world’s most miserable wife, but she did not resent Driel. Instead, she understood Driel. “I’ve begged you countless times to not choose me as your husband. Now that you’ve ruined me, how do you feel?” It was because Lune Hellid had ruined Driel Stein’s life. * After three years, the husband who left for the battlefield like he was committing su*cide has returned. To seek forgiveness for her mistakes, Lune decided to get a divorce immediately. But her husband was acting strangely. “I’m not going to divorce you even if I die. So you should also give up.” Not only did he refuse the divorce, he even extended a helping hand to Lune. “Lune. The Driel that whined that you ruined his life was reborn on the battlefield.” What exactly happened to Driel at the northern battlefield? “Lady Hellid, there are reanimated corpses attacking the village!” Furthermore, as soon as the war in the north ended, a strange incident occurred in the territory. Will they be able to overcome the crisis? Will they be able to live in the present without dwelling on the regrets of the past?

My Thoughts on If Regret Keeps Us Alive
"If Regret Keeps Us Alive" immediately grabbed my attention with its blend of fantasy elements and a potentially compelling romance. The premise, hinting at a regretful male lead, initially felt like familiar territory, but I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and complexity it offered.
First Impressions
I was initially drawn in by the promise of a unique take on the "regretful male lead" trope. The synopsis suggested a familiar storyline, but I quickly realized this novel had more to offer than just a groveling ML. The early chapters introduce a world brimming with lore, battles against reanimated corpses, and elemental magic.
What Works Well
The character development, particularly for the male lead, is a major strength. He starts as an immature and somewhat frustrating figure, seemingly trapped by his responsibilities. However, his experiences on the battlefield lead to significant growth and genuine regret. I appreciated that his redemption isn't instant; he actively tries to understand and repair his relationship with the female lead.
The female lead, Lune, is equally compelling. She's not a passive character waiting to be rescued. Instead, she's a strong, capable woman burdened by guilt and determined to protect her land. Her internal conflicts and vulnerability make her relatable and engaging. I found the slow-burn romance believable because their emotional baggage prevents easy reconciliation.
The world-building is another highlight. The author weaves together elements of elemental magic, dragons, and mortal gods to create a rich and immersive fantasy setting. I enjoyed learning about the lore as the story progressed.
Areas of Concern
While the focus on world-building is a strength, I can see how it might not appeal to everyone. Some readers might find the emphasis on battles and political intrigue overshadows the romance. I did find myself wanting more interpersonal drama, especially within the high society, which is something that wasn't really present.
Final Verdict
Overall, "If Regret Keeps Us Alive" is a promising novel that offers a refreshing take on familiar tropes. The compelling characters, intricate world-building, and emotionally resonant storyline make it a worthwhile read. While the focus on fantasy elements might not be for everyone, I believe that those who enjoy character-driven stories with a touch of romance will find themselves captivated by this tale of regret, redemption, and the enduring power of love. I'm giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars!
