In Regards to My 2nd Trip and My 7 Husbands

My Thoughts on In Regards to My 2nd Trip and My 7 Husbands

Okay, so I dove into "In Regards to My 2nd Trip and My 7 Husbands" with a healthy dose of curiosity. The premise alone – a woman, a second trip, and seven husbands – promised a wild ride. And in some ways, it delivered. However, it wasn't without its bumps along the road.

First Impressions

Initially, I was intrigued. The setup, especially the heroine's time at the academy with the kids, felt charming. The idea of being transported a second time to a different timeline also piqued my interest. I was ready for some fun, lighthearted reverse harem shenanigans. The prologue felt promising, setting up a potentially engaging story.

What Works Well

The novel does have its bright spots. The fast-paced nature of the story definitely keeps things moving, and some of the male characters are apparently well-defined. I can see the appeal for readers who enjoy a quick, plot-driven narrative with a focus on romance and a harem of "cool guys," especially if you're looking for a shota.

Areas of Concern

Here's where things get a bit tricky. I found myself agreeing with some of the criticisms regarding the female lead. She comes across as frustratingly naive and passive, almost like she's never encountered romance tropes before. This can be grating, especially when coupled with the fact that her wishes and opinions seem to be consistently ignored by her husbands.

The concept of consent is a recurring issue. Several readers have pointed out the lack of respect for the MC's agency, and the feeling that scenes can veer into non-consensual territory. This is definitely a red flag and something to consider before picking up the novel.

Another major concern is the quality of the translation. A few readers struggled with jarring grammar errors and inconsistencies in point of view, which made it difficult to follow the story. Incoherence seems to be a common problem.

Final Verdict

"In Regards to My 2nd Trip and My 7 Husbands" has potential, but it's bogged down by several significant issues. While the fast pace and harem dynamic might appeal to some, the concerns surrounding consent, character development, and translation quality make it a difficult recommendation. I'd approach this one with caution.
