This started off as a super popular fantasy romance novel on a Korean web novel site. I think it was among the first that had a main character who would be considered the "rival girl" in a typical "travel to a fantasy world" type story. It spawned a lot of knock-offs that imitated the idea, and I think the author took it down after a while because there was too much copyright-related drama happening.
I don't really know if this is the first of its kind or not, but to me it was the first. So, it holds a special place in my heart. I the author's storytelling was really smooth and attention-grabbing. Though it's unfortunate that a lot of it is lost in translation, I'm grateful that there's a comic version of this so more people can recognize this author's work.
I really enjoy the art and story line of the story so far... However, I have heard some bad reviews about the manga, specifically about the ending. THIS STORY IS NOT ABOUT THE CHANGING OF FATE. This story is about the fact that fate is inevitable and there is only so little we can change. I don't want to spoil any more but "the end of chapter 26 addresses my concerns".
