Hmmm… I think I prefer the novel where Reeze (Lizzy) was portrayed as a much worse person in her first life and enjoyed being eternally young and beautiful by restarting over and over. Here it seems more like she snapped from living the hell of constantly restarting life where any changes you make lead to tragedy.

Is it really that different in the novel? Since I didn’t read the novel I’ve been theorizing the whole time, and that’s what I thought was happening—that she was enjoying herself as Reeze, hence why she wanted the story to go on forever and ever.

I think that might be where this goes in the coming chapters. It seems like she may start to enjoy toying with the various Ediths that show up each loop.

Ahhh I definitely liked it more in the novel but this isn't too bad. Iirc in the novel the third condition was met while Edith was accepting her death wholeheartedly at the execution stand. Riese/Reeze was trying to play good girl and saying she "forgave" Edith and that she should "fight for herself, fight for her life" sort of thing so that she wouldn't meet the third condition of

accepting her death

It is.

Basically; the novel adds in a lot more pre-death backstory where she’s essentially a complete bitch. She constantly anonymously posts malicious comments about new books coming out, without ever feeling guilty. She started a writing union under the guise of helping others but is really just to let her insult them. And when one of them got a hit she ramped up the malicious comments and insults, even impersonating their family to do so.

After that she’s sued and becomes further obsessed with her one decent book until she can’t separate reality from fiction and ends up killing herself and being reborn as Reeze.
That part of the novel is expanded on a lot and likely would’ve filled a chapter of the manhwa if they’d kept it.

As Reeze she‘s incredibly happy to be Reeze and never wants to fight against the plot, she just gets bored and wants to make the journey more exciting while keeping the plot. She doesn’t have a moment, the way she does here, where she tries to fight against it. She doesn’t spend a year anxiously trying to break out of the story before snapping the way she does here.


So she just comes across here more like she’s a victim who accidentally died and went to, essentially, hell then snapped whereas in the book she’s just a bitch from day one who always loves her new life. Actually there’s a small line in the novel that highlights how reliving the same life over and over is essentially hell but that she doesn’t admit that to herself and instead she starts the game “Edith Possession” unlike here where the possession just happens without her actively making it happen.

So yeah TLDR: Novel Reeze (Lizzy) is a bitch from day one who does everything intentionally, Manhwa Reeze is a victim who things happen to and who snapped after living through hell.

Thank you! I appreciate the clarification and details.

Tbh I think it would have been neat to keep it that way—it feels like it makes more sense anyways, with how Reeze’s previous actions have been like, hence why I came to that assumption that she was enjoying her life as Reeze and how it kept going on forever. I think specifically it was that one scene we had of the author where she was panicking because Edith was breaking through the scenarios and she was freaking out because “Reeze has to live young and beautiful forever” or something like that, and so I theorized that it was because she wanted/needed the Ediths to always fail because it was necessary for her story—and perhaps her fear that should they succeed, her story would end and so would her experience as Reeze.

I mean, I’m curious what they’ll do now since they’re going this route, and I’m sure they’ll make some explanation work, but certainly I think it could have stayed the same as the novel.

So she only tried to change story one time?

So she only tried to change story one time?

she did change the story a ton, but she only DEVIATED once

it's like how editors ask if authors can change one part of the story, but like everything before and after that compared to asking for a full rewrite from a specific part which is a deviation from the original plot
