### Summary
Reader discussion remains sharply divided over the characterization of the female lead, Peony, though a strong wave of support has emerged in her defense. Many readers find her "silly," "cute," and "adorable," embracing her "sunshine girl" personality and determination to win over her favorite character, Richt. These fans argue that criticism is premature, as it is only the third chapter, and her over-the-top antics are fitting for the series' comedy tag. Conversely, a vocal minority continues to find her "cringey" and "annoying," viewing her persistent pursuit despite clear rejections as a toxic obsession that disregards Richt's trauma. Meanwhile, Richt's character receives a mix of appreciation for his validly guarded reaction and significant humorous objectification, with numerous comments fixated on his muscular chest. Beyond the central character debate, readers praise the refreshing premise of a post-novel reincarnation and continue to adore Peony's supportive "green flag" family. The art style, previously a point of contention, is now also described by some as "gorgeous" and "soft," as re-readers encourage new audiences to give the lighthearted story a chance.
