the premise with death and 3 women reminds me of the story of the dying man who listens to the wishes of his three wives.

whats the point of punishing someone if they don't remember their last life? that's like punishing some random unrelated stranger

It feels like the women are just "stealing" his talents and not actually training for it. Also if this women was going to
switch their love life doesn't that mean she will turn into a deceiving person/player? Lastly, taking away his looks.... What's the point of taking away his good looks? Their is no right definition for being pretty or ugly.

I'm kind of on the fence about the start of this. I mean "supposedly" the main female was the evil king in her past life? And those three guys were her wives? Alright now here is where all the problems start.

First off the fl doesn't seem to have memories of being the evil king so basically she's a completely different person. You're punishing someone that doesn't deserve it.

Second, the evil king was apparently super smart, strong and good looking and the wives all fell to his ways but the second all that is taken away he becomes a girl?! This is implying that girls can't do shit. I mean I get that it's not something to get offended over and I'm not, I'm just a little annoyed that such a message is being portrayed. The wives who stole the kings abilities also became men so that also supports the whole "women can't have abilities". I know that's not how it is IRL I'm just saying that's what the novel portrays, and well I guess some people like that so whatever.

Thirdly, the flow of this chapter was pretty bad, I got confused a lot during some lines. That may be chalked up to translation though, not 100% sure.

Other than all this, I actually think it could have been a nice story if instead of taking the king's abilities they had asked for abilities greater than his so they can win against him. So in that case the girl would have been extremely good looking, smart and strong but the male leads would just be better at each respectively and there would actually be SOME competition you know?

Then again maybe it's too early to judge, this is the first chapter after all.

im pretty sure the reason their genders swapped was the "switching their love lifes" ... it very easily could have been misconstrued by a mischeivous god to literally switch their sex... why you ask? easy, if you have a girl who likes men, and a man who likes girls, thats their "love lives" ... their life as one gender loving another, so now switch it

gods are known to use loopholes to cause a bit of mischief out of boredom, so this isnt a far fetched theory

Possibly, however I still don't like the connotations. When writing a story such things should be considered as well.

she's not even ugly and all she did was literally crouch and hide behind her friend and no one thought that was weird? And don't tell me the 3 women will remember everything but he doesn't, and in fact he didnt even know if not for the church so basically its just a new person suffering

Not a fan of FTM Gender Benders ( The three girls) But this might not be so bad.

Oh I get it now.

So the three women asked for three things from the man. The first got his appearance, the second his skills, the third his heart. But in exchange, the first gave her face. The second her (lack of) skills, and the third her heart.

Because of this, the tyrant was reborn as a woman with the face of the first girl, the lack of skills from the second, and the heart of the third. The three women were reborn as men as either a result of taking these "gifts" from the male tyrant, or because he was reborn as a girl.

I'm pretty sure the translation is wrong. Sure, I don't speak Korean, but I'm very sure it doesn't say what this translator says.
