PLEASE. I am praying for Jihyun to be useful again. She had a little power-up where she contributed more than usual and she has been a liability ever since. She helps out here and there but mostly she gets taken hostage or forced back onto the sidelines while a different character steps up to do the heavy lifting. PLEASE give her another training montage or something so she can level up with the rest of her team.
Was there a non-sexy reason the other crystal had to go up his ass? I understood the justification for feeding Rigon the life crystal that was basically an aphrodisiac because negative energy and whatever. But the bead up the butt was lost on me.
An unexpected update. Now......give me the dog x cat romance you've been teasing us with for so long, you coward!!!!
Sooo... the metal-looking stuff on the demon lord's face in his original form was just his face? I was kind of hoping for an original form face reveal but... I guess that's just his face???? And the mask on the demon lord's servant is also just part of his face????????
I wish we'd gotten another chapter of Sora grieving and then healing and maybe agreeing to be the witch for a new cat. I don't know. It just seems too sad for the manga to end on "the cat never came home again." Maybe I'm just too much of a dog person and I just don't have the strength of heart to let cats go when they're ready to go.
Seems interesting. I don't know why the rating is so low when there are only 2 chapters and nothing egregious has happened yet.
So, why exactly was Theodore dying from the curse originally? It seems like she loved him. Was it that she didn't truly forgive him? Or were her love and forgiveness not enough to break the curse in its earliest form? Can someone explain?
The goddess's face sure was something this chapter. I was disgusted by her actions but also kept getting thrown off by how goofy she looked half the time.
It certainly is a twist that the goddess of love was behind the majority of Raoul's suffering, but I'm not sure if I like it. The saintess and the princess were set up as such easily hateable characters, so it was fun to cheer when they got their just desserts. To find out that they were controlled and brainwashed and maybe not at fault at all takes away from the satisfying feeling of revenge and now I just feel kind of bad for them. And feeling bad for the perpetrators is not what I really look for in a revenge story.
Do you think Penelope liked Eclis at all? I'm certain she never loved him, but was there any affection there even a little? The only person she's expressed any explicit fondness for so far has been the prince. Seems to me that she's angry at her trust being betrayed and afraid that her chance for escape is disappearing, but I don't think I would say she's heartbroken.
I just realized that the relationship between Penelope and Eclis reminds me of the relationship between the FL and her knight from Kill the Villainess except it's a bad end. The biggest difference is that the FL in Kill the Villainess admits to her knight that she isn't the person she's possessing and she needs his help so she can go back to her own world. I wonder if being trusted with that information would have changed Eclis's actions at all. Of course, there are other differences that have pretty big consequences, I'm sure. Penelope can die from anything and anyone here and the FL from Kill the Villainess could only die in one specific way, so trusting someone would be much harder for Penelope. Also, Eclis is an enslaved prince from a slaughtered nation while the knight from Kill the Villainess is a nobody orphan with no prospects, and while both are sad, Eclis's backstory is definitely more traumatizing and probably messed up his personality a good bit. Anyway, I think it's an interesting comparison between two similar circumstances.
Despite baving read the spoilers for this webtoon, I honestly don't feel all that bad for the FL. Maybe it's just poor writing, but 3 men who are basically her brothers-in-arms and also in love with her very suddenly stop caring about her at all and she just accepts it. She hires an information guild, yes, but aside from that, she doesn't try very hard to do anything else to investigate or try to fix the issue. Feels to me like she never had a real relationship with any of them and assumed all of their affection and shared experiences were purely based on her role as the Main Character. So, not much of a betrayal when it seems like the FL was keeping them all at arms length the whole time anyway.
I'm calling it now. The brother is either dead or never existed, and the voice she speaks to all the time is either her brother's or her grandmother's spirit. It could also be her own powers or a spirit familiar or something, but regardless, I don't think she actually has a shut-in brother.
Maybe it shows just how tired of cliches I am, but the amount of relief I felt when I realized there wasn't going to be a stupid misunderstanding subplot was intense. A lesser webtoon would have had Ricardis get jealous and sulky and he would have started avoiding Roselyn, and she would have been confused and hurt, and the whole thing would have been EXHAUSTING. It was very much appreciated that an ML who claims to like the FL also actually knows her well enough to immediately understand that whatever she's doing is for his sake.
I'm sure it's mostly unintentional, but I find it hilarious how much this story digs at common manga tropes. Like implying that the concept of a beautiful kind MC who gets assualted all the time and has a harem that adores them for no definable reason is something only a weird self-insert fantasy-obsessed middle-schooler would come up with.
Out of the three shitty "love interests," I still have a tiny tiny bit of sympathy left for the priest. The plot of the novel never actually got to progress to the point where he betrayed the original Eris, so he is innocent of that at the very least. Plus, his mother clearly traumatized him deeply with her treatment of him and her death, and I'll always sympathize with children born into shitty situations out of their control. I wish he could have gotten some form of healing. But he made an unforgivable mistake when he tried to chain down an unwilling stranger with his trauma. He actively tried to ruin not-Eris's life and trap her in a world that made her suffer, just so he could feel better. So ultimately, he's getting what was coming to him. Karma's a bitch, I guess.
How do you even shop for pants with something like THAT attached to you? No way that's comfortable.
I just came back from the author's twitter and it looks like they're also a fan of ENNEAD, which is pretty neat, I think. I really wish we could get someone to translate the Twitter extras. There's so many and I'd love to know exactly what's going on.
We keep hearing about how awesome and capable and intimidating Hyeon is but he keeps letting his brother get away with crazy petty bullshit. How does he not have countermeasures or stopgaps in place? Yiseon keeps getting put in danger or dragged through the mud, and all I can think about is how the older brother is not shown to be talented or dangerous enough to be causing so many problems and I can't figure out why he's still around.
I'm curious to find out more about Mio's husband. From what we've seen so far (Chapter 24), it seems like he's also grieving? While we definitely haven't seen any evidence suggesting that he wasn't a terrible cheating piece of shit spouse, I'm starting to suspect that maybe he was a decent father at least? His wife refuses to accept the situation, his mother doesn't acknowledge the true tragedy of Taiga's passing, and the people around him keep pressuring him to be the strong one. There's still a possibility that he was an absentee father who only feels guilty now that his child is gone but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.
