I'm the 10th review and yes this is a shameless rating. In reality, I'm shy and this sort of self-promo hurts me to do. So this you clicked on this story and want to know more what it's about? What is it? Should I even bother reading? Normally you start out a date or advertisement with all the best things. so I'll do the opposite and list out the worst that I've heard. This is a boring story, very tedious, mundane and downright just boring. It's too slow, the characters are too confusing & make possibly retarded choices. And I won't refute that. If you're still reading then here's my take It's a silly, self-indulgent, not very original, and deceptively shallow thing. It's the kind of oddly specific thing I wanted to read but couldn't find, so I clumsily made it myself. It is a work of love but it will not appeal to most readers on here. I know that much. It's a reborn/isekai type novel with no OP Cheat powers, scheming, face slapping, harem gathering, overbearing romance, prince charmings, or even a clear cut villian. There are no major time ski**, no "get to the most interesting action already", and sometimes no clear point. I'm not fishing for compliments or actively trying to scare anyone away. If this type of story is not what you're looking for that's okay. I don't want you to read something you don't like. Still there? If you're still interested you will follow and grow up with the MC reborn in her infantile body. Growing up is slow and nothing is as simple as it seems, but it can be if you want it to. If a modern person with no aspiration outside a peaceful life was suddenly reborn with all her memories into this hopeless villainess role, what do you think she would do? What shenanigans would she get up to, how would she make the best of it, and what would she discover about those around her? What would you, the reader see, that she doesn't? If you're still reading, still curious then I welcome you to give it a try. You can tell me if it makes you happy, or if it makes you want to cry. If you feel angry, peaceful, soft or all sorts of things in between. Because that's just life for a lot of us. So buckle up for the long ride in the second life of one Rosalia Therese Ventrella.

Can’t I make this into a book, please? Not one for others to buy and enjoy, sadly. A book only for myself and my loved ones because this story is so meticulously shaped and pulled. Escapism at its finest. It should be a humbling experience for a lot of publishing authors to read your work, but I’m sure you have caught on to that yourself. It’s truly a weird and flabbergasting experience to read such a thing on this app. And the only reason l can handle the positivity of you not finishing this work of art is because of all the alternative, fanciful threads of future realities you left the characters with, but they only scrap the surface. Anyway, I genuinely admire you and what you have created. Existence would be a bit harder without this one. Thank you.

Pure Gold. Solid story, good pace, bad assery female with sassy attitude, but still down to earth. I like how the reactions of her own experiences and others feel very realistic... not everything goes the way she expects nor is she OP... even after all trauma she faces, which breaks my heart, and she makes me cry out "Ganbatte!" when she pulls through with fierce determination! Just read it! No regrets![img=recommend]

I really love this book so far, it is one of the only stories on here that makes me both laugh and cry, the concept is also different from the usually reincarnation novels on here, would recommend to give it a try.❤

i really love this novel. it easily went up to my top 2 favorite rebirth stories ever, and the best novel here. i have a love/hate relationship with the writing style... love how its based on the mc perspective n hate at the same time because you dont get to see the happenings in the background much of the time, im just the type to like reading the little details 😩 especially when mc is doing her 'work', but i still love it because you get to pick up tibits of the story and its just so intresting to wonder and think about whats happening back there. also find it fresh and interesting how the author is making a point in focusing on the mental and emotional health of the mc and the other characters it make it feel more authentic imo, tho as a emotional constipated person i do cringe at some emotional scenes... my favorite thing to read is the relationship between mc and her father but overall its a very good read, i also find that to me the story does not drag on considering it has no time skips. now that im caught up i keep coming here everyday to check if theres an update only to leave with an empy heart when there isnt 😭 hope author never gives up on this story.

This book is a cross between slice of life and an otome game fantasy where the villainess is reborn and tries to correct things. The only problem is, as of chapter 145, she is still 3 y/o and the first major life altering event doesnt gaplen til she’s five... the story is interesting and the witkd building and side characters reasonably fleshed out but it just drags pointlessly. Each chapter is upward of 30-50 pages on average AND SHE’S STILL THREE YEARS OLD. The pacing of the story is atrocious. This could be a five star story but every bit of miscellaneous information in shoved jbtk the main story instead of put in as an extra at the end and it bogs the stiry down.

To be honest, I'm not a patient person. While I was reading, it did occur to me when the time skip will be? It is indeed slow paced but I found myself enjoying every moment. And I love how it brings out different emotions inside of me. I don't know if I'm being a masochist but I like that I can somehow feel the characters pain even though I didn't experience what they did. I love all the fluffy moments and I'm looking forward for more. Thank you very kamsa author for writing this amazing novel ʘ‿ʘ

As of this review, 146 chapters have been published. First of all, the writing is great. While there are grammatical mistakes here and there, they are so minimal that it doesn’t distract one from the story. The author’s writing style simply sucks you right in, and the length of the chapters are satisfyingly long. I discovered this story through another work written by the author which had a significantly darker theme compared to Unloved Twin. This story is light-hearted and fun, and the occasional glimpses into the protagonist’s past lives are either entertaining or heart-wrenching. Aside from that, the story also carries a darker undertone especially when it comes to the backstories of certain characters. The two colours of the story juggle very well together, and it makes one want to cheer for the happiness of the characters. Unlike any other OP Mary Sue/Gary Stu isekai power trips of the same genre, the story is slow-paced and places focus on the slice-of-life of a person who is too matured to act their physical age. There are no OP cheats involved, unless you consider modern knowledge and being filthy rich as cheats. The vibe of the story is similar to that of Nigotta Hitomi no Lilianne, Honzuki no Gekokujou, and Demon Girl, among other titles of the same genre. They all centre a toddler or child in their growth phase and have little time skips with its major focus being the struggles and shenanigans of having an ***** mind with a child’s body. The part I liked most about this story is how all the characters are shady in one way, shape, or form. The darkness lurking underneath the funny interactions of the characters and the protagonist’s occasional solliloquy about her past life(s) adds a twist to the cuteness and crazyness of the story, and I’m looking forward to the chapter where the protagonist decides to leave everything behind only to find out that she didn’t have to because her past had been changed and could no longer repeat itself. I really enjoyed the story, though I do hope that the protagonist would get more assurance that she is indeed very much loved and needed by her family. That trauma ran so deep it plagued her for three lifetimes, sigh. Good work, author, and keep writing if you can help it (but don’t work too hard, and take breaks whenever you want)!

This is so good! This book had me rolling in laughter, I love the chemistry between the characters. Even though the past makes me not want Rosalia to forgive them, the characters are just too lovable!! I love the little trio; Rosalia , Amar and Lukas. Their moments give me life!! More than anything I love meng's and jungjoon's stories, the modern stories sound so beautiful and warm... it's bittersweet and I can't get enough of them.... meng led a hard life so seeing people around her help her, makes me cry... ughh author you're too good at making me cry, thank you for showing me such a beautiful world.

The SLOWEST pacing I've read yet, but I still adore it. The writing style is attractive and engaging but I get bored quickly, so it's currently a lovely pass time novel☺

I rarely read 1st person novels because for the most part I do not enjoy them. However, this novel is different, although its early yet I'm enjoying this story. I like reading the FL's perspective, her antics and her connection to grandpa which seem to be a special one. There is no ML seen as yet but that is great as of right now she's a baby, who cares for a ML when you are already enjoying her escapades and laughing at some of her thought process. This story as long as it remains interesting is a library keep for me. Keep up the good work dear author.

I'm still at the beginning but I like that this is a funny, quirky story featuring a heroine who has gone back in time to her baby self and who still watches out for her sister despite what happened in their first lifetime. And the grandpa is a mystery too ;D

I was following on Royalroad then I was happy to see that it is still updating here. A delightfully fluffy slow slice-of-life with magic, hijinks, and a touch of drama. A definite favorite

I honestly thought that it would be another of the many clichéd stories I read but how wrong I was. God I love the background of the story and as the protagonist tries to get ahead despite all the things that happened, I am fascinated by the characters and their pasts And as they evolve, I was amazed at how you write and how you progress in your story, I really love how you write and as this story continues to advance, I am happy to have come across this gem of a novel. Thank you very much and I will keep waiting for updates 💕

It's an amazing story and through the writing you can understand the emotions experienced by a person who suddenly finds themselves in a world with someone else's memories of trauma+death. You do an excellent job of portraying the mc as a person who, even when she is armed with memories of practically being a doormat for people to walk aaaall over, holds little to no resentment but WHERE AND WHO IS THE MALE LEAD?? SKDJISHAH IT'S TOO SLOW PLEASE MAKE HER A TEEN / GO TO SCHOOL!! PLUS SHE HAS TOO FEW INTERACTIONS WITH SIR PRINCE T^T (who i'm assuming is ml)

This story's a gem. UT is a novel with very detailed characters that have depth and their very own lives that does not revolve around Rosalia; they have their own story; for ex the parents have it; they are not merely there to act as doting parents to then dissapear when their children are in life-threatening situations, they exist. Maria and Freddy may not be the most perfect loving parents but they try their best. They have their own backstory and their insecurities and they learn how to be parents while the protagonist and her sister grow; ok I derailed...anyways our dear protagonist, Rosalia is a very much normal girl with a very biased pov well it's not really biased...she just has selective blindness, choosing what to see and what not aaandd maaayybee in her last first life she didn't perceive someone's way of expressing their love ...haha ..The point is she is awesome, she may have difficulty facing some things but... that's what makes her 'real'... The worldbuilding is amazing too...I didn't expect that honestly...and the author put so much research... anyways UT is amazing and I love it. I'm actually surprised because some times when I read novels I don't even bother to comment or just leave a review and this actually prompted me to because Iove it and the novel's gold...Thanks to the author for creating this novel and uhhh thank you..?

An interesting and carefully weaved story that had me laughing at times while crying at others... The complexity was interwoven and carefully foreshadowed but not too obvious that it was totally unexpected...
