Regret it Yourself ~Be Happy with the Saint you Chose~

My Thoughts on Regret it Yourself Be Happy with the Saint you Chose

Alright, let's dive into "Regret it Yourself Be Happy with the Saint you Chose." I've read through the available chapters, and I've got some thoughts. This novel is a quick read, and it delivers on the promise of its title: regret.

First Impressions

Right off the bat, I could tell this was a familiar trope. We've got the broken engagement, the supposedly brainless prince, the "white lotus" saint, and our supposedly smart MC. It's a classic setup, and while that can be comforting, it also means the story needs to do something special to stand out. My initial feeling was cautiously optimistic.

What Works Well

What I appreciated most was the character development. It's not groundbreaking, but it's there, especially concerning the antagonist. Seeing her have that "aha!" moment, realizing the impact of her actions, added a layer of depth I wasn't expecting. I also liked that the male lead was someone the MC already knew and had a rapport with. Their relationship felt more natural and earned. The author did a decent job portraying genuine care for the MC from various characters. It made the world feel a bit more lived-in and less like a stage for the MC's drama.

Areas of Concern

The dialogue. It sometimes felt clunky and unnatural, more like characters delivering lines than actually conversing. This made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. I also felt that the plot could be too straightforward. There weren't many twists or turns, which made the story predictable. It's a short read, but even then, there were moments where it felt like the plot was stretched thin.

Final Verdict

"Regret it Yourself" is a decent way to spend an hour or two if you're looking for a quick, predictable, and somewhat satisfying revenge story. It might not be the most original or well-written novel out there, but it has its moments, particularly in its character development and the satisfying comeuppance of certain characters. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's not going to blow your mind, but it's a perfectly enjoyable read if you know what you're getting into.
