My theory is MC is actually the Medest's missing daughter, and that all the second/third children that randomly goes missing in their family are all the "divine beasts" trapped in the temple - bc the Medest's were originally beastmen and can transform.
Also with the missing duke who can transform into a tiger, there was a tiger in a cage in the temple, which could be him after he transformed.
It also makes sense that "divine beasts" are so hard to find because there's only a limited amount of children from the Medest family each generation.
Pretty obvious in my opinion (love game theory (๑•ㅂ•)و✧)
That’s why the imperial family let the FL stay out of the war to “no eliminate the bloodline” if she dies. If the FL dies, no more divine beasts as the mother is too ill to have more children.
Then is the imperial family is in on it and evil too?
Probably, it would make sense - after all the funding for the temple’s research has to be coming from somewhere
Hmm that makes sense, but do you think the prince is in on it too? Given how her sister is in love with him in both time lines, was/is he deceiving her to use their bloodline or do you think he was unaware of what was going on and there love was mutual?
That's a really interesting take, since the prince hasn't really been fully shown, only his silhouette which can be interpreted as them just trying to enhance the mystery aspect of this character.. or! He has a bigger role aside from being the Original ML.
I don't think the prince knows. I think the war exception had two purposes; maintain the bloodline and ensure she doesn't marry the prince. I doubt they would suddenly stop stealing the children; but if they're part of the royal family that would be investigated with a lot more resources.
I agree! I feel like this would be something that the Royal fam would try to keep on the down low so they may only tell the prince after his coronation??? To keep the amount of people who know as small as possible
why are there so many plotholes??????/٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ are we never going to get an answer as to why her dad burned down the orphanage and killed Sion's family?? like "no reason" is valid??? are we also never going to close up on what happened to her mother, brother, and sister, her father killed all three of them and yet when she was about to kill her dad she asked about the orphanage and not her family - are we for fucking real right now I'm going to strangle the author please don't just put in a random backstory "fun fact my family was all murdered by my father :D", like what about the grandmother from her mother's side of the family that her siblings were going to visit? does she exist? where was Fluffabeth?? is the rabbit in the room with us???（/TДT)/
How did her dad get the time stone that had gone missing for ages? We know he stole it from some other family, but how did that family get it? and why could they find it but not that elder guy from the moon village? are we not going to acknowledge that the elder guy is the same traveller from the story she read when she was 10 that Taylor picked out? are we not going to get any more information about that village? why are they called the moon village when everyone there has red eyes (●'◡'●)ﾉ except for the mage that brought them there and they also have mainly sun symbols? How do they have a treatment for the time stone? Didn't the time stone randomly disappear? So how do they know that people have previously used it, and if people have used it before and they have a treatment to get rid of it, why didn't they destroy it before it disappeared?? When the elder is explaining the treatment he says "usually after the treatment you'll wake up after about a month", which implies they've done it before - so if you've done this before, why does the stone still exist?? The treatment literally begins with destroying the fucking stone???? (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
How come Laila was able to get the stone so easily and also knew about its powers beforehand, wouldn't her father have also known what it did? Wouldn't he have kept it under stronger protection than his fucking office table?? Or used it himself??? And why isn't there any changes in the timeline of events within the universe if she's travelling back in time constantly? Wouldn't she be causing major events to have changed, and also noticed things like how her father no longer has the time stone because she used it, does that imply past events could have changed too?
The author didn't put into any consideration the effects of time travel, or the pacing of the story which went by way too quick. I feel like if we had seen Sion's perspective of going back in time later after he realised he was in love with Laila, the reveal that he had been travelling back in time with her could have been more impactful. Bro where was the editor and proofreader?? are they with fluffabeth rn?? ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ I'm just going to fill in the gaps in my head cos this story is so stupid, I'm so disappointed that we never got a proper fight scene, especially with the evil deity, arguably one of the more important plot points and climax of the story's universe.
It feels like Sion getting summoned back was also rushed, like we had all this plotting and scheming to fight back while waiting for his return and building up for it to just be resolved instantly. Like Laila is smart and scheming in the beginning of the story, but after Sion returns she's just "oh I'm so useless, but now I'm married so now I have meaning :D" and just continues to be an airhead and have zero input, completely different compared to the beginning of the story. And we also had a grand entrance for the mage only for him to be in like 6 episodes. And the duchess of Liam who said that Laila could come over at any time, and we never fucking see her again until her birthday banquet. And also duchess Liam gets so easily convinced to divorce her husband and Laila is instantly her saviour for saying "please divorce your husband" like "omg yes little child you're so right I've been blind this whole time and it took a 10 year old to tell me for me to realise (▰˘◡˘▰)". Like I love the duchess of Liam and I wish we had seen more of her, her story was so rushed and felt like she was supposed to be part of some plot point that she never got used for, just a side note to fill in Laila's backstory. I could keep going but I'm not going to waste my time on this assss story that had potential but completely lost it.
To those who have read all of this (づ￣ ³￣)づ<3 (≧∀≦)
TLDR points:
- Time stone and time travel correlation
- Laila's family
- The orphanage
- Where's Fluffabeth???
- The Moon Village
- The Elder and the Memoir/Story
- How do they have a treatment for the time stone?
- How did Laila's dad get the time stone?
- Lack of fight scenes
- Laila suddenly becoming dumb once Sion returns
- Duchess of Liam
- Rushed plotline
Example of a perfectly reasonable crash out
sososo valid lol I saw in some other comments the novel was more fleshed out and had a different ending. maybe it filled in some of the plot holes （￣へ￣）
