Description
—a drug meant to sharpen memories, they said. But too much of it erases everything. Interrogated by strangers, abandoned in confusion, Scarlett’s mind was stolen by those who feared Viktor’s return to power. When she woke from that week-long haze, she was greeted not by her husband, but by betrayal etched across headlines and whispered in the corners of the palace. “You betrayed me,” she had whispered, her voice hollow. But no memory surfaced to prove him wrong. With nothing left but silence between them, Scarlett made her choice. “Goodbye, my love.” It should have ended there. And yet… Viktor kept coming back. “Why do you keep coming?” she asked, her voice trembling like a broken watch. “If you don’t want me to come,” he replied, “then come back.” He who once wore indifference like armor now stood before her, eyes unreadable, voice steady. “I’m going to get you back.” And so, their story begins—not with love, but with memory lost, trust broken, and time running out.

My Thoughts on Things I Didn’t Know Because It Was The First Time
"Things I Didn’t Know Because It Was The First Time" is a story that definitely pulled me in with its unique premise and European-esque setting. It's a blend of drama, fantasy, and romance that explores the complexities of marriage, trust, and self-discovery. While it has some compelling elements, there are also aspects that left me feeling a bit conflicted.
First Impressions
The initial setup is quite intriguing. We have Scarlet, a seemingly naive woman deeply in love with her stoic husband, Viktor, a war hero with royal ambitions. Their lives are thrown into turmoil when Scarlet is framed for betraying Viktor, leading to amnesia, divorce, and a complete upheaval of their relationship. I found myself immediately invested in Scarlet's plight and eager to see how she would navigate this challenging situation.
What Works Well
I appreciated the author's attention to detail and the way they crafted the world and characters. Scarlet's journey of self-discovery after the divorce is a highlight. Seeing her embrace her independence and rediscover her passion for mechanical crafts was genuinely satisfying. The writing style, with its focus on dialogue and subtle interactions, effectively conveys the emotional nuances between characters. The translation quality was also a plus, making the reading experience smooth and enjoyable. The author really put effort into creating a solid connection between plots.
Areas of Concern
My main issue lies with the male lead, Viktor. While his flaws and emotional unavailability are part of his character, his inability to trust Scarlet, even in the face of mounting evidence, became frustrating. It felt like the plot was being dragged out unnecessarily, with the same misunderstandings resurfacing repeatedly. I also felt that Scarlet's character development, while present, sometimes jumped too drastically, making her transformation feel a bit jarring.

Final Verdict
"Things I Didn’t Know Because It Was The First Time" is a story with a lot of potential, and there are moments where it truly shines. The unique setting, the focus on character growth, and the exploration of complex relationships are all commendable. However, the frustrating misunderstandings and occasional pacing issues prevent it from reaching its full potential. Overall, I'd say it's a decent read if you're looking for a josei-style story with flawed characters and emotional depth, but be prepared for some moments of frustration along the way.
