I guess I'd love a bit of feedback before I continue.
How do you, as a reader, see Lydia?
As the author, I see Lydia as someone whose head was in the sky but got dragged down to the ground with such intensity, it's a surprise her head didn't shatter. I don't think I've done well portraying that though. A bit of a dilemma.
She retains quite a bit of her attitude from her first life which is very obvious when she starts interacting with people. But to be fair, she's only known how to interact with people a certain way, changing that all of a sudden would be... absurd, in my opinion.
PS: Might delete this later. (Esp if no one comments. Will be too embarrassed to leave this up lol)

I think i need the next chapter for me to say something about Lydia
Let me think... What kind of essay review like response can I write to stroke your ego
You've written a fascinating villainess reincarnation story. The dialogue between characters is so realistic because we the readers don't get everything we want out of the conversation like Lydia. That's because people don't say everything they think, we are complex and so are our words that can have numerous meanings. (It's nice to see characters challenge one another) Or splurt out half a page of dialogue on a person doing a single piece of dialogue. With the characters so far being of royalty, always trying to out one each other it adds that subtle drama the story is so great at. And it's valid in the story because we follow a character who has seen a narrative with certain characters that have won and are in high positions further into the future. Lydia is not perfect and I love how you've portrayed her as a villainess and protagonist. She's a functional broken character whose extreme tendencies have normalized and is now interacting with abnormal characters with prior knowledge. She's basically just done with this environment of hers and wants to escape her toxic lifestyle. She's not arrogant but like in the last chapter with the Princess/Future Queen we see that she's willing to test her standings amongst the others. Because she has to if she wants to survive.
Omg this is really nice. Thank you

No problem
Ur boi just out here writing essays while quarantined
Lydia seems like someone who is lonely but made peace with this fact,
she knows/feels that she cannot drop her guard with no one (the maid, her family...)
it's true she has an attitude but she was raised like that, so it's normal it's showing (it's not a bad thing at all), her life in prison have made her see the reality and made her put up her guard.
lydia is really relatable and it's one of the major force of your story
the pov are honesly really great and well made, it allow us to see the reaction between what lydia thinks and the thought of her surounding and i personally love it.
For me Lydia is prideful but burned out. Tired of nobility and royalty and wanting to be left alone.
And while she is fighting for her future she is not trashing and lashing but flowing and bending. But sadly for her people are forcing her to be act in such way.
For me, Lydia is like someone who apathetic, but still trying to grasp every tiny hope even for a bit 'change' without losing her current reality. I think revelations of 'truth' in the past shocked her hard enough?
I read a lot of nobility & 'back to the past' things quite a lot and I'd say Lydia is on the fresh side and I enjoy this novel so much. Good work!
I love Lydia's character, she is very refreshing.
Not only does she have a great sense of humour but is also very aware of what is going on around her, I like how intelligent she is yet some things still escape her and she isn't an all knowing OP chara. I like how she has faults and makes mistakes (like not planning ahead and assuming some situations) but tries to make up for it. I find her quite elegant and eloquent with a sharp tongue so her dialogue is always enjoyable. I sometimes catch glimpses of this warm and loving side to her which surprises me since she has had such a lonely and neglectful past. It makes me feel her future has hope and she has so much potential for growth and love thats just waiting to be tapped into! So fascinating!
Not only Lydia but all the characters are so multi-dimentional and fascinating! I'm excited to see how things will evolve with the Duke, her mother, the Princes/Princesses WITH EVERYONE. I am also a little nervous regarding Leonora... I wonder what consequences saving her life will have... and you've made me feel nervous about that because of how you portrayed her character! Anyway, I am thorougly enjoying this novel and I adore the dialogue and chara interactions, so many things to look forward to so keep up the good work dearest author!
Lydia is chill person in my opinion but she can be hard hearted when needed. She’s quite similar to how most people around me (that I like) are in a way, though not completely, and that is good I guess. I mean it makes it easier for me to like her.
Hope you get time and the right push to update frequently.
Someone who actually recognises their faults.
For me Lydia is as you describe and more. She's been completely ruined by her past life and her eyes have been opened from her former nativity and ignorance. As a result she seems a LOT better at politics. However it seems as if she's a bit unsure of how to go about her goals, such as changing the future and stopping the engagement.
She's a super relatable character because of all this, and her thoughts and decisions have made sense so far as a result. However she does seem a bit apathetic; if I were her I would grow increasingly desperate to change my future as time ran out (such as the time limit on ending her engagement)
I think you're doing an awesome job so far and I can't wait to see what comes next!
