Description
Irina Devin was abandoned by her family twice. Her biological father gave up on her because she wanted to live, and her adoptive parents abandoned her because they found their real daughter. Having spent so much time with her adoptive parents, she thought they wouldn’t easily discard her even if they found their true daughter. To quell her anxiety, she even took on a subservient role, trying to endure in the Duke’s household. However, the moment their real daughter was perfectly integrated into high society, she was cast aside. The Duke’s household, which had created the circumstances that forced her biological father to abandon her, had also failed to keep their promise to treat her father. Irina vowed to take revenge on the Duke’s household for breaking that promise. And three years later, one day: “I want to bring you back as my daughter.” The Duke’s words made Irina realize that the time for the revenge she had been honing for the past three years had finally come.

My Thoughts on Regret Is Unnecessary for the Substitute Princess
I dove into "Regret Is Unnecessary for the Substitute Princess" with high hopes. A cunning female protagonist, hidden identities, and European ambiance? Sign me up! The premise certainly had potential, but my reading experience ultimately left me wanting more.
First Impressions
The initial setup is intriguing. We have a protagonist returning after a three-year absence, stepping into someone else's shoes. The story hints at complex relationships – a fiancé, a disapproving father, and a powerful state religion. All the ingredients for a compelling drama were there.
What Works Well
The core concept of a substitute princess navigating a treacherous court is appealing. The potential for political maneuvering and character development is definitely present. I could see glimpses of a strong, independent female lead emerging as the story progressed. The "personality changes" tag also piqued my interest, suggesting an evolving character arc.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the execution fell short of my expectations. The pacing felt uneven, and I struggled to connect with the characters. While there were supposed conflicts, they lacked real tension. I found myself wanting more depth and nuance in the interactions and motivations of the characters.
The story hints at a grand narrative but fails to deliver a cohesive and engaging plot. Instead of a captivating intrigue, I was met with a series of events that felt disconnected and lacking a central theme. This made it difficult to become invested in the protagonist's journey or the overall stakes of the story.
Final Verdict
"Regret Is Unnecessary for the Substitute Princess" has a promising foundation, but it needs refinement. The potential for an engaging story is there, but the current execution leaves much to be desired. While I appreciate the concept and glimpses of a strong female lead, the lack of tension, uneven pacing, and disconnected plot points ultimately made it a less enjoyable read than I had hoped.
