ML went from "prince hiding in plain sight" to "coward who marriage-trapped an independent woman" cause wym he bound adele WITHOUT telling her??? it was fine cause i was normal level annoyed when to the very end, he never admitted who he is with his own mouth while MC was already throwing your highnesses at him, but then he revealed that he had them bound together by an intricate magic bond without her consent by deception???? is it not enough for killian to take a stab on adeles integrity, taking her for a fool who wont discover his secret, even though he had witnessed firsthand what cunning clever ironfisted person MC is, he insulted her again by exercising the magic he use to trap her???
i mean obviously no romance fantasy webtoon is ever going to have a separated main couple but now adeles entire character hinges on how she's going to respond to killians insult on her judgement and her dignity as his wife. if she does nothing then shes has no self respect, if she divorces him, shell lose everything including the right to succeed her father until she finds another to marry to fill the inheritance clause.
i just...cant believe my eyes cause killian was an okay, swoon worthy at some points even, ML!!! though the main show of this webtoon is still MC, killian as ML didnt have anything quite bad to him. his character and his relationship with MC would have met a light at the end of the tunnel if he backs down and say "yes i kept things from you, but i have reasons, and if youd like ill tell them to you" or he can even just say sorry but noooooo he whips out the magic shackles instead

add the lord and theyd form the dumb triad the only serious character so far is just ML with a mystery to his background and being caught in a conspiracy hahaha. anyway i didnt expect to be enjoying this so much AND find a unified period costuming. all the italian renaissance dresses MC and her lady wears are so pretty im being indulged with these idk cohesive costuming in webtoon gives me a serotonin surge lmao
bc GOD every woman in this webtoon are entangled with another woman and eachother:
1. the duchess/emperors sister is probs having a repressed twisted love for her late sister in law, and thats why shes unreasonable in her hate to the empress who replaced her.
2. MC is in an angsty not yet disclosed emotional conflict with her former master, the crown princess of dunamis.
3. her rival knight, serene, is jealous of MC and crown princess relationship and blames MC for the crown princess losing her former self.
4. princess johanna of ollogos is a wild card who gets pulled in all of the other womens conflict.
5. MC's ex friends/fellow maids are struggling with competition with each other AND their puppeteers who are also higher ranking noblewomen.
6. not to mention the main relationship between MC and empress who gets on at first chance and the empress begging her husband to spare MC despite her precarious standing and dependency on his favor for her.
both the emperor and his son (who is unfortunately, the ML) literally only serves as extra problem trigger IM DYING LMAO and its kinda really funny too cause ML is genuinely a strong well built character!! he manages not to be a useless cog in the sea of sapphic yearning and frustration, so ill give credits where its due.
its also kinda amazing that while this is very angsty, you dont get that vibe at all and instead it carries its comedic tone well. im so glad i scrolled through the latest update page and find this webtoon cause this is incredibly entertaining despite not being actual GL
cause even when shes killing left and right and plotting to kill her husband only based on a previous timeline i was rooting for her haha. even if shes killing just to be empress and not some noble causes or proportional revenge id still root for her. i love me all the cersei lannisters in stories cause women dont need reasons to crave power!!! the fact that she has a legitimate reason now dont change the fact that she outsmarted everyone, even the girl who has the same advantage of being brought back in time with her. her husband was right to fear her
theres no ethical consumption OR even dignity under capitalism. unfortch, thats currently the default. capitalism being the issue this webtoon is built upon makes other 'slice of life' webtoon pales in comparison. this is THE slice of life webtoon.
you get ur ordinary family ridden with real money problems, you get having to choose between your self respect or ur paycheck. you get no male lead in this webtoon because theres no male lead in real world, but everyone is their own main characters. you get no happy ending/resolution bc as long as you live, life will always have a chance to be worse.
i went to this expecting a heartwarming slice of life or sumn like that but stayed bc of how real it is. brace yourselves before you read this.
sedin is a carryover of the tower owner's soul or spirit or energy or something. hes not in the novel, he has crazy abilities and latches onto MC the second he saw her. maybe idk hes a byproduct of the tower or the system, maybe? something foreign to the novel theyre getting in just like MC
and its so damn crazy how bad i wanted to bitch slap yoonso cus he keeps torturing chaeah! but then i get to the later chapters and seeing how pathetic and pitiful yoonsoo became cus he wants chaeah so bad it crumbles his sense of self. it pays off soooo good!! my god i love this webtoon so much. i love all the 'all powerful immortal/supernatural creature being reduced to a loser when they lost a mind game with a survivor traumatised mere mortal that the creature underestimated' is my fav genre in books so to have this in webtoon is gratifying for me!!!
i was vibing sm she and the others are doing children shenanigans, i love her relationships with everyone, even down to her mom with little screen time, i love how they have her all disheveled, tomboy, and her persistent eyebags BUT THEN the shady ginger ML showed up and ruined everything omg i want him dead kinda
flower boy is actually just ML with a wig or sumn cause have they been seen in the same room? no? thats what i thought!!!! (coping cause i cant handle another ML when ML is already this cool and flower boy is that cute)
this is so anticlimatic. as funny as everything is i personally hate this thanksgiving pardon parade!!! to have his entire foundation of opposition crumble in like 3 panels, after us spending 100+ chapters with him being a fuckass douche? im kinda really not satisfied!!!!!!! he gotta get tortured!!! dungeon dweling!!!! balls plucked!!!!! IDKKKK something more!!!
im just taken by surprise by the fact that this isekai webtoon focuses on mother daughter bonding and not entirely lone FL surrounded by men competing for her or whatever. ive always been bamboozled by how easy they brush off mothers; often having them nonexistent by killing them out of the story and not even bringing them up at all, or have them be a very tragic death to be used as a vital relationship trigger between FL and the male members of her family.
BUT THIS?????? empress and FL are both fiery and sassy and snarky and stubborn and they might be bickering all the time but no one can deny that this, at its core, is a mother-daughter story. theories about whether FL is her bio daughter or not aside, as a mommas girl myself...im so happy to have given this webtoon a chance cause i did thought this was going to be the usual male centered FL story
this is the first isekai i read where ML is kinda.....ordinary?? but it makes it interesting. hes not a swordsmanship/magic prodigy, hes not a strong politician, he does his duty and martial arts but not exactly have exaggerated achievements or anything, hes also obviously defeated in terms of express power and mentality before FL came, so he doesnt have a leg up in court. hes just a regular joe who is a firstborn prince. that makes FL's struggle even more precarious bc her husband isnt special like the many other isekai ML. i do like their modesty, its a different protagonist flavor.
ON THE OTHER HAND i feel like, the lady in waiting is what the typical isekai FL is; modern, audacious, and confident. i feel like instead of ML, the prodigy/trump card on their side is the lady in waiting. theres only little chapters now but im kinda hooked on her character, she steals the scenes sorta
shes VILE like???? breaking the heart of the man you murdered in a previous timeline AFTER you use him to get control of your house in the current timeline? so delightfully evil. and then she stole his discovery from the past TL and used that to propel a public disengagement? and even after all that she still has the balls to go to his house and went "im so bored lets have casual sex every so often" LMAO ruthless.
i love the ml too. hes definitely pathetic head over heels but hes not the usual whiny tsundere or whatever. hes treading his own moral conflict being crazy for the girl who admitted to have murdered him in a different timeline, while also thinking yea thats a bad bitch no wonder i died lol but i dont want to lose to her now even if i want her haha. theyre so exciting!
cassio is an asshole, still is per chapter 38 BUT among the 3 men, hes the only one who got busy with brains, i wonder if thats why ophelia chose to entrust emilia to him and not the tepid tempered raretis, even though in hindsight itd have made sense for ophelia to put emilia in the care of someone with least visible conflict with her. cassio is smart and live off stimulations (??? sort of). hes borderline a sicko but hes not dumb at it like the ponytail. in passing, i feel like cassio and ophelia are both very similar characters. theyre blunt and kinda twisted, bitter, but also incredibly protective. ophelia has been seen showing that she can be genuinely affectionate with emilia, and i think in time cassio can be a sincere person too, hence why ophelia chose him for guarding emilia post her passing.
i saw spoilers saying that raretis is the ML but honestly i find it very hard to believe, although maybe its also for the best for emilia. but right now though, cassio is so interesting and their interaction is diabolical and complex and their chemistry is flying sparks everywhere. i just feel like even though ellodi is the exact ophelia lookalike, cassio is literally the spitting image of ophelia, in terms of personality and perspective
THIS WEBTOON IS SO CRAZY???? literally plowed through the 74 chapters in one sitting now im getting goosebumps all over damn this was so GOOD I NEED MOARRRR
and dominick is her first adoptive son like...hes her dick grayson the way he took charge of the younger ones (???? even though theyre all probs old af) and now hes out here taking another lost kid into the wayne manor (her shop) lmao
