Because her parents were basically S+ class (in terms of strength), and all the other villagers were also A or S class, the mom thought she was weak. But seeing how strong she is compared to the city adventurers, it’s clear she’s also probably A or B class. (Maybe down to B just because she’s been inactive for so long and skills can get rusty.)
Whereas those city adventurers probably cluster around D - F class, and the strong and skilled can level up to B or occasionally A. (Umm, a very rough and not accurate guess based on other Isekai ish fantasy leveling systems)
was thinking the samething
The mom is weak compared to the rest of the villagers and her parents. Their regions is only liveable for those with 1st class rank. The city however is secured thats why there wasnt a need for any ranking(mom 2nd rank while husb lower rank). Also the reason why the city isnt full of magic mana thingy coz all the monsters is already been driven out by the military. I still rather lived in the city tbh coz i’d be shitting myself seeing bigass bugs on my own home
It's like when someone said they're bad at chess because they never win a single game with their grandfather, when said grandfather is actually a world class champion.
He keeps delaying his visit to his son. This time I understand why. (Some of the other times annoyed me because it was so trivial, like wanting to learn to sculpt.) But Wynn is only half elf. I’m afraid that by the time he finally gets around to Wynn, he’ll be dead already. Either because of his natural lifespan, or just cause of the war. Or he’s enslaved or something by the humans. Ugh I worry too much, so hopefully I’ll be wrong and they’ll reunite happily…
Yeah . . . I really hope Wynn is ok. Well as ok as someone can be in a war.
Honestly I'm starting to wonder if he delays it on purpose, kinda ? Subconsiously ? Like maybe a part of him is scared of seeing his son again, seeing him older. Aesir knows Wynn will die before him but he might not be ready to accept that yet and seeing him actually older is going to be a lot to take in. This is his son, it will hit him harder than with his human friends I think. I dunno . . . just a thought.
Aesir has always been easy going in his travel and maybe that's just it.
I do hope they can have a nice moment together still.
Bro this better not be heading the path of frieren or smth like only value time when his son passed away after his old and dies. I swear ill cry
Now that the kidnapping arc is over, we finally meet her dad!
What??? That douche???
No. He's a different person... SPOILER ALERT (sorta lol)!!!
We're also not that far yet in the story, but it's coming soon though.
Whaaat??? The douche from the village wasnt his real father???
Her* real father
LMAO The "douche" was her real father... (spoiler below)

This guy will eventually become her adoptive father. :-)
Ah sorry sorry.
Not her sperm donor. Her adoptive dad. And unlike sperm donor, he’s super supportive and does his best to protect her and help her grow.
Omg! That's perfect! Happiness for Ivy all the way!
::: eyes bug out::: ok, so there's 1 half of the family, so where's the other??? does that come along for him or does he stay single?
Adoptive dad stays single. But in each arc there’s a group of adventurers that travel with ivy and dad, so she grows up with lots of basically uncles. No romance ever appears in the 1000+ chapters I read. And no creepy groomer vibes either.
we get 1000+ chapters??? OH THANK THE GODs!!! thank you for the info!!
So all the killers are besties? Seoul League of Killers?
I get that she was dirt poor irl, but why is she only grabbing junk food to take back to the starving villagers? Like yes, chocolate bread is a yummy snack, but I feel like there were better choices. Also only eating sweets after literally starving for two years might give the villagers the runs. She was at a convenience store, so just off the top of my head, she could have grabbed milk (calcium, vitamin d), juice (vitamin c), sausages, tuna, kimbap, sandwiches, salads, jerky, bottled water (clean water in an area that had a drought for 2 years is probably a god send), etc. Even cup ramen would be good because it only requires boiled water and the villagers can have something shelf stable for later, even if it isn’t super nutritious. Why did she only grab chocolate rolls? I just don’t understand
Because the author is stupid and doesn't realize it would probably kill them
good majority of the stuff you listed requires refrigeration. and ramen? boiled water? you think they have the facilities to even boil water like that? not only that but considering it’s a completely foreign food to them they’d have no idea how to cook it? bread/pastry is simple and easy to understand as a food plus shelf stable. i do agree that water and juice should’ve been considered though
Besides the cup ramen, I was imagining the foods would be eaten immediately. Most of the villagers were taking the items and immediately eating them. Though some were taking the items home. Convenience store sausage doesn’t need to be refrigerated, it’s the smoked kind, jerky is also preserved, kimbap is often eaten as a field trip/picnic type food so isn’t necessary to refrigerate for several hours, tuna is preserved so no refrigeration needed (though the can itself presents problems, unless it was the pouch kind), sandwiches and salads also don’t need to be refrigerated for hours. The only thing that would need refrigeration would be milk. I know shelf stable milk exists, but I’m not sure if that’s a convenience store item in Korea. Though shelf stable soy milk would definitely be available in every Korean convenience stores. But either way, I’m pretty sure fake European setting villagers would know how to eat sandwiches, salads, sausages and jerky.
Though I do agree about the new foods. Even as I listed some, I figured a fake European setting would mean they’d be freaked out by the seaweed that kimbap is wrapped in. Canned/pouch tuna might also be weird to them. And not to mention the plastics and packaging. But the pastries she brought was originally shown individually wrapped in plastic, and she took the time to take them all out of the plastic and put it in the big bag. So I figured she could transfer the other foods too.
But as for boiling water, why wouldn’t the villagers be able to boil water by themselves? She’s distributing food to the village, which means they have homes there. No matter how devastated they may be from the drought, they would still have some sort of way to cook food at home, which means they have a way to boil water. After all, they would have needed to be able to cook and eat even before the drought. As long as they have some sort of pot or pan, plus some source of fire (fireplace, stove, outdoor bonfire, etc), they can boil water. The little boy even told her that his mom made a soup out of the pastry to feed his younger brother. If they were able to make soup, they could obviously boil water. The instructions for cup ramen isn’t exactly rocket science. She would just tell them to add hot water when they want to eat and wait a few minutes. Or she could say to use the noodles + seasoning packet to make soup, and the villagers would be able to make something out of it. As long as they add hot water, it’ll work. If too much is added, it’s just a little soupy. If too little is added it’s a little salty. I doubt starving people would care about the perfect noodle consistency based on cook time. And even room temperature water works, it just tastes bad. (Personally I think uncooked ramen is also tasty, so there’s always that option as a last resort too.) And since they never had it before, they wouldn’t necessarily know what the “correct” taste is. And even irl people use ramen noodles to make other things, so using the noodles incorrectly isn’t a big deal.
Honestly I was surprised the villagers didn’t freak out about the sugar. Usually these Isekai stories have commoners unable to afford sugar, and the mc creates some sort of dessert/sugar revolution. And chocolate is later added as an ultra exotic, luxury item. Yet none of the villagers cared about the sugar or chocolate. Maybe in this setting sugar is already normalized. Or they were so starved that they didn’t notice.
Seaweed was part of the diet in many European coastal areas, although it was usually dulce, which has a tough, rubbery texture and a strong iodine flavour. It was probably not the favoured veg of choice. Since herbaceous greens like sorrel, borage, lamb’s quarters, dandelions and nettles were likely widely available in the north, and parsley, spinach, cilantro and molokhia in the south, dulce was probably eaten more in the winter, when fresh greens weren’t available.
Welcome to my tedtalk. Today I’ll explain why I’m convinced the other twin and the ml concocted a harebrained scheme to seduce our mc. Maybe twin noticed that ml liked mc, and mc liked ml. Or maybe ml straight asked for help. Or maybe they really did date for a minute, then broke it off cause they realized they didn’t work. Either way I’m guessing that now they’re working together to make mc and ml date.
- Because why does twin always pull mc out and force him to hang out with ml? If the twin did that with boyfriends he’s had before that’s one thing. But mc didn’t say it that way when explaining his brother’s dating history and their sibling relationship.
- Sus that bf didn’t know that twin was spending the night out, when twin specifically said he was running late to the event because of ml. I feel like if ml really thought that was twin jerking to the cardigan, he would have asked why he was jerking instead of being out with his friends. Like he’d ask if the plans were cancelled
- twin is an omega. In addition to the lack of butt slick, there’s the lack of pheremones
- twin played around all through high school and dated all those guys that were crossed out in the yearbook flashback. He’d know how to kiss, and not be awkward with physical contact. Whereas mc is a virgin, and every experience is new. There’s no way that the way they move and react during foreplay and sex is similar. Unless maybe twin likes to do virgin roleplays
- and lastly their hair is different. Twin has a full mullet. Mc’s hair grew out a little, but originally he had a much cleaner haircut. Even though his hair grew out a bit, it’s not a full mullet. And mc doesn’t have pierced ears like twin.
Also the ML recognized him before they even 9fficially introduced themselves to each other in the story. When it's said their own mother barely tells them apart.
Wait u might be onto something, I forgot about the pheromones thing actually ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶(⊙…⊙ )
Ahhh I forgot that detail that no one but the mom can tell them apart!
But honestly, one has a mullet and piercings and the other doesn’t. Also since one is “boring” and inflexible, and the other is super friendly and chill, the vibes they give off would be so different. How can they not tell them apart? Smh
Well it was also said that Hee-won pretends to be Heekyung a lot and it's easy to remove piercings and have others not notice the tiny holes, but it's not likely that, if they were actually dating, that Heewon is going to try to pretend to be his brother in front of the ML. So that in itself is suspicious. On top of the fact that the ML easily rec0gnized him before, yeah I find it HIGHLY unlikely.
Omg wowowowowo, i was gonna feel sad for the twin heewon but i guess thats it? Hmmmmmmmmmm
Yeah, you’re definitely onto something. I think that the fact the twin sometimes pretends to be MC plays a big role in this.
ML might have had a crush on MC for a while, and so the twin approached him while pretending to be MC. They finally started going out, with the twin agreeing to sometime acts like he’s MC and allowing ML to get closer to MC by inviting him to join them on their house dates.
Kinda ironic that he’s happy to be called Hugh, and insists on it, while also insisting on calling her Vivian. It’s kinda her fault too, because she could have clearly explained that Vivian was the name she got after becoming a princess, so she prefers the name she grew up with. It’s not like her history is a secret. Plus Hugh had her investigated so he knows she grew up a commoner. But since she didn’t explain, maybe he just thought she was being picky. But now that we know Hugh is Hiu and not Hugo, it’s just a bit ironic that he isn’t sensitive towards her name while he’s sensitive towards his own name
He didn't know about the name Lucia. He learns it when listening to Lucia and Damian talking to each other and later they talk about it, but *spoilers* Lucia says she prefers to be called Vivian by him because, with him, she's Vivian
I’m aware he didn’t know the name Lucia. As I wrote, fl didn’t tell him that name. I was just saying it was ironic because they both have a “real” name, or original name, or however you want to think about it. And they both publicly use another name for reasons. And since they unknowingly share that trait, it was ironic that he liked when she (unknowingly) called him by his real name, but still insisted on (unknowingly) calling her by her princess name. They’re both in the dark about each other’s situation while sharing this name parallel.
Also, I dunno if I’m even using the word ironic correctly. I might be pulling an alanis morisette.
Hmmm...no, when he learns Damian call her Lucia and her friend in the duchy in the north too (and that even Jerome knows it too)...he is jealous but want it to be her who tells him her "childhood name" (like he said) so he's really itching to call her Lucia too...
Did that happen by chapter 30? The conversation I’m referencing is from (i think) the first time they had sex, which was before chapter 30. Chapter 30 was where we learn ML’s backstory about his twin brother and their names. Tbh i dropped the story by chapter 45, and up to then, I don’t think he learned her name Lucia. Buuuuuttttt I could also be very wrong because I don’t even remember who Damien is.
(Sorry i meant to reply to you, but didnt click it right ㅠㅠ)

Hello no you're right...if you didn't read after 45/50 chapter it seems to me that you can't know iirc, he learns that the day of tea party with Damian in the duchy...the one when she cry because of how they treated Damian...sorry (▰˘◡˘▰)
When he said he ate Nara’s protein in order to turn into him… did he mean his jizz? Did bl ruin me and there’s another easier source for protein and my mind’s just in the gutter? When I read protein I thought either jizz or literal flesh (meat = protein), but I doubt Nara would cut his flesh off to feed him, so it’d be jizz. Between hair, nails, and jizz personally I’d just go for a strand of hair. It’s gross, but you could probably just swallow a single strand of hair with water or something. Ughhhhhhhh
So he really did eat thator what
I wish he’d give her a laser pointer or something so that she’d be able to easily point out where the ghost is. Or give her the water gun. That way she can showwhere the ghost is and protect herself in case the ghost is angry. Either way they’d be able to seal the ghost more easily. But then that’d reduce the comedy, so I get why it’s drawn that way.
Also the dog is so sad! Imagine if your dead dog became a ghost to stay with you, but you can’t even see or interact with it. That’s just devastating. And based on his reaction when she said the pup looked healthy, it probably wasn’t healthy when it died. Ughhhhh
