I surprisingly really enjoyed this anime. I wasn't expecting much from it since it was an isekai from a completely new studio. But the Manhwa had a great rating so I gave it a try.

First of all, I think this isn't really like your other isekai adventure stories. The protagonist dies in her world and reincarnates as a side character of a novel she has already read. So, I found this plot very intriguing. That's what this anime was mainly about - the story. There are some nice things set up for future seasons and I think there might be some more plot twists ahead.

The pace is slow, but I don't mind it. I wouldn't mind seeing a slow pace in a good story, with some good characters.

Now, how's the romance? Very good. I'm surprised by how many good romances there are in Spring 2023. Usually, we hardly even get one. Noah and Raeliana are just adorable together. Their interactions are so entertaining to watch, funny yet cute at the same time.

Raeliana was a great character to root for. She was very smart and savage, but she showed different sides of herself when she was with Noah. I love how she dealt with various situations, using her witty words and intellect. But Noah too, was a great character, and it was fun to see different sides of him as well, with Raeliana. It was always fun to see him tease Raeliana given how much of a no-nonsense character he usually is.

I've read some criticisms about the animation, but I actually thought it was gorgeous. Especially for a new studio, this was very much above par. The opening and ending sequences were great, so was the soundtrack .

I liked how they portrayed the overall theme of survival and faith, because it played a major role in Raeliana's character story.

Overall, I enjoyed this anime. It might have been a bit too slow, but overall it's a good enough story to have a slow pace. That being said, this show should get a 2nd season. Because there are so many things set up in the story that it'll make no sense if it doesn't.
