I agree, despite all the advantages Iris had at her disposal, such as the four powerful high-status simps - I mean "men" by her side, the smartphone, the knowledge of the future, and knowledge of technology from her previous life as a Korean woman.
Nera with just one manpower, "Gionni" was still able to keep Iris on her toes every step of the way. No doubt had Nera possessed the same knowledge and the smartphone, she could've easily crushed Iris without much effort.
TBH I don't like Iris that much, nor her harem of simps, she's got that golden-child vibe going on where everyone loves and adores her no matter what. Which is absolutely annoying as hell, and from what I've seen from Nera's memories. they've completely neglected Nera, even as a child, not just her parents but even Anikkin who btw is actually blood-related to her.
I find Anikkin to be a creepy sis-con and a complete asshole for not being a good cousin to Nera, nor did he even try to get her help, not even convincing his only remaining family member to stop or she'll end up down the path of destruction.
But what did you expect from a Mindless virgin simp.
I meant to like your comment.
Lol I almost made the same the mistake. I learned a huge lesson though, don't visit the comment section unless I have finished the book. You guys didn't spoil the book but you spoiled the theological side of it. And I'm an insightful person so I definitely would have made the conclusion. I literally concurred without even reading the book because usually, cliche wise they're all the same. I have only seen "Beware the Villainess" break that cycle. Adios
It may be controversial but I liked Nera, not in a “she didn’t anything wrong” kind of way but she pushed the plot for over 100 chapters. Her greed, her jealousy, and her inferiority complex knew no bounds. She was written in a way to show she was completely evil until her final moments, she didn’t grieve her parents or regret leaving her child behind but she regretted not realizing she was loved by the one she loathed the most because of her own insecurities. She died lonely and called for her only person who loved her in her afterlife even when she was surrounded by her parents graves. Her schemes, her ability to use people, the way she could cut off family and love attachments once they were considered useless was interesting. She was written great as a villain because she didn’t do it over a man like the other story, she caused chaos for the sake of pure hatred.
