Mary didn’t know what to expect of the afterlife, but it certainly wasn’t becoming the evil, murderous nanny of the novel she was reading. Her circumstances become secondary concerns when she realizes that no matter what, Briel must remain safe. It’s the only way to keep his uncle, Count Kentryle Chalant, from the path of revenge. Can she keep her new charge safe and change the entire plot, or will the true villain get the best of them all? And is she going to find love on the way?

why are almost all childcare mls the uncle of the child that slowly falls for the fl when he sees how kind she cares for their kid and that everyone in the staff adores her...
This one is so cute! Read up to ch 40 elsewhere and the whole relationship between the fl and ml is adorable, especially the nephew ❤️❤️ The only gripe I have is Briel still looks like a 2 y.o baby even when he grows up lol
Dropped at ch. 9
It's strange. This has all the elememts I normally like in a childcare story, but it's just so... bland. A nice touch is that FL's younger siblings are also part of the childcare, but aside from that, there's not really anything special going for this one.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a mindless read, but reading something with my brain turned off only works if there's nothing that actively makes me go "huh?" at the screen.
The pacing on this story is all sorts of awful. The actual growing up part of the childcare is fastpaced in a stilted and awkward way that makes the flow of time in this story very... strange.
Two years pass over the course of 9 chapters, but the relationship between FL and ML is still exactly the same. It's still that stupid oh no they're so close! BS that they pulled a couple chapters ago, which NORMALLY wouldn't be an issue but. It's been two years...?
It feels like I'm on the world's worst rollercoaster the way this story handles what events gets shown and which don't. Briel's first time rolling over, sitting up, and first word are all shown, but first time standing? Walking? Saying HIS UNCLE'S NAME?? They could've even done the stupid cliche he calls his uncle dad and the nanny mom or something! But no it just skips that and goes to him suddenly knowing everyone's names like a chapter later and it's just ????
AND THEN there's the inconsistency of Mary being hired to assassinate Briel and managing to get close enough to do so while the Count who's also the PRIME MINISTER is hypersensitive to Briel's safety (he literally gets freaked out over Briel getting excited because he thinks he's sick). Like he didn't do a background check? Didn't hire spies or something to make sure she wasn't plotting anything? Didn't, I don't know, HIRE GUARDS FOR THE BABY??? It makes no sense, ESPECIALLY when you consider that other noble children in the story already have guards, and he didn't even think of getting Briel a bodyguard until Mary suggested it.
Like you'd think the only child of his dead brother who he supposedly cherishes would be more well protected when he's this paranoid. But nah. Fuck you I guess.
That being said I have no clue what the plot or story structure is after chapter 9 and you can't pay me to find out so. If you're past that and you still like it you're a stronger person than I am.
I'm surprised by how many people are dropping this manhwa so early. It may be a little rough in the beginning, but I swear it gets better!! It's a breath of fresh air for me and one of the most realistic child-care manhwas out there (if there are any better ones, please give me recommendations!!). I usually don't like super fast paced stories but this one surprisingly doesn't upset me.
Dropped this at chapter 9.
For lack of better comparison, it reads like a manhua. It's a bunch of tropes piled up with no actual plot to stitch them together.

It's like the author can't decide if they want to take the childcare , romance or mystery route so they just shoved everything right from the get-go.
The result is all three angles being unconvincing.

The art is good and has a great story too.. but I dropped it because that is one ugly baby -.- don't get me wrong, i thought it was cute at first but then he grew up A LOT like my boy is 3 years old and still looks the same as when he was a few months old
This is really upsetting, but I wish I had seen that review that tells you to turn off your brain while reading this before I started reading this manhwa.
It's so bad.
The review are true to their word. The manhwa is really centered around childcare (obviously, i mean, look at the title) and its adorable. The child our FL is taking care of is absolutely precious. He's adorable, acts his age, and the author is clearly knowledgeable in the subject because his actions and mannerisms are truly that of a child. It's really well done.
The problem? The plot is all over the place. Other than the childcare aspect, this manhwa also has some sort of weird assassination sub-plot. One where the original owner of the body the FL inhabits kills the child in exchange for cash (in the novel). When the FL does not follow through on this deal, whoever's pulling the strings decides 'oh, i'm not gonna send another assassin to kill the baby and finish off the problem. oh, no. I'm going to stalk that family for a year instead. Yep. Good idea.' Its honestly a running joke in the comments. But there's only so long it can be funny before it dies.
Also, when I said the plot is all over the place I meant it. One chapter will be about the OGML, the next will be some random chapter where said OGML is forgotten and they're celebrating her birthday. The time skips between chapters is erratic and confusing. Not to mention annoying.
And then, there's the fact that the child's previous nanny apparently takes time off (retires?) to take care of her own child which then leads to our FL having to take her place and take care of the child. We celebrate his birthday. Twice. He turns 3. She meets up with said previous nanny (with whom she has apparently been keeping contact with, even though I don't remember it being mentioned at all???) and then the latter says that its only been a year since she's left work?? It's. so. confusing.
There's so much more, but I'll leave it at that. I'm done. I'm so done.
If you just saw this predominantly as a childcare diary (as the name says) you would be able to enjoy it more. The plot is kind of slow and all over the place. There are pros to this story. The mc kid isn't the only child being doted on. Other children also get their fair share of plot.
But the subplot of murder and treason is slow and all over the place. Infuriatingly slow actually with plot holes.

Nice childcare story! Kids are cute and I love the characters designs. Things which are a bit wonky here are that 11 and 15 year old kids are drawn like adults and a 3-4 year old kid doesn't really group up lmao. I'll give a detailed review about the plot after the story gets completed.

i love how it really does focus on the childcare.. like.. sensory play?2!2!!2 she really was a kindergarten teacher😭😭
At this point the people who hired her to kill the baby could probably just do it themselves…all this effort to sneak in and out just to leave petty notes 🤡

Imagine being known not as the best swordsman but as that dude with the biggest sword. I'd never live down the cringe
I like how they turned a cliche (night market/festival) that’s usually used for date nights for the main couple and let her hang out with her sister for a bit. It’s cute and tbh a little refreshing considering how sibling relationships usually go in these manhwa…I’m not even counting this tutor guy as a 2nd ml, I think he’s just a prop to get the sisters closer to each other (at least in this ch)
I feel peace I haven't felt in a looonnnggg time. 😌☺️
Finally, a confession before 40 chapters. It's always dragged out so long...
I can rest my soul.

WHY IS HE THE WHOLE FOREST 😭😭 the play idea for the kids was so cute AND HE PREPARED AN EXTRA ONE FOR HER? he felt awkward but just went with it when he saw her laugh???? the lines of the play that basically confessed his feelings towards her?????? I'm crying 😭
