There's a whole thread of spoilers in the forum for Novel Updates.
Thanks, I check it out!
Yeah, but it seems like they’re clearly different because there’s some variations that don’t correlate properly. Maybe later they might but not right now and some of those exclamations be a little bit confusing because it’s very clear that there is more than one timeline and some inter-spatial transmigration possession and slight prophecy shit going on
Yeah I agree, I spent my time reading all the posts but some of my questions weren't answered. The explanations more focused on specific incidents or certain characters but didn't touch on a lot of general stuff and I found a lot of loopholes. I was pleasantly surprised with the ML, her bio family and what happens with her and her dad though.
I will say that I agree what happens but I can see the differences between the novel and this version of it because of the initial reaction of the father (emperor) and how the confrontation actually goes and it’s conclusion, and the fact that he didn’t know. I do hope you know what I’m talking about is you said that you read basically all the comments here
OK, so this is a whole ass spoiler read at your own risk if you wanna know
So I’m gonna leave my hypothesis from what I got out of everybody here. So for one the original of everything in the world that we the readers live in is actually an atome-game and the book that our MC near the start fines is actually a hate fanfiction about her. Created it by the one who’s possessing the princess, which is the author of the book, but is not the author of the actual series so it’s basically a story instead of story inside a story, which is actually a story for them
That is what I conclusively believe the start is, which is actually really really good that is who’s processing the princess actual princess the blonde
And our MC reads it thinking it’s actually true when it’s not meaning, most likely, the ML was always like this. He always loved her from the beginning to now though I will say because the original is an atomi-game and MC most likely always had a good ending We also have to come to the conclusion and understanding that there has been in some versions of you know the flags that are in those usual type of romance games that he has ended up with the princess because he’s one of the potential flags, but because of that world, you know they have their own free will and it’s not a game his love won’ actually change
And that’s why he’s like this because he’s always been like this but most likely him if we do get the original princess back into her body to either end up with the brother because she is actually nice so I doubt that she’s going to lead someone on because she’s an actual person not a game character or she’ll go with one of the other flags that we have never met. We only know two of them. Unless this is a one way type of ticket game which I don’t like those I mean the original.
And there’s also explains the comment about her, the MC time traveling, spectating this timeline, seeing the things that are not supposed to happen, like the one possessing the princess, and decides to help this version of herself, and most likely the princess because she actually is a good person that is what I have pieced together
That's pretty much what I got too. What I'm still confused about *SPOILERS* is how her maids/nanny/the king's aid (pretty much the ppl who watched her growing up) got this skewed perception of the MC and her relationship with the emperor.
In the spoiler thread, they mentioned that the evil chick possessing blondie used a game item called a 'speaker', to spread malicious rumours about Phil, which is what made everyone mistake her missing posters as wanted posters. This is also the reason the redhead and guards felt entitled to attack/hurt Phil. (it also said that the game was supposed to be kid-friendly and because the evil blondie misused the items she was banned from further use).
But certain people around Phil didn't seem to be affected by the game item (the bio fam, the emperor, the ML, the nanny, etc), which is why they were confused as to why people tried to hurt her and why she tried to run away (when everyone else was trying to condemn Phil, they worried for her).
Which makes me wonder if they weren't brainwashed, how come they don't question anything (like at all during any of the years)? Phil was mistreated/abused/neglected pretty publicly when she was a child by ALL the servants (especially the nanny, which is why Phil got rid of her and also why she was willing to believe the random book she found and start the whole charade). Also, her dad blatantly ignored/neglected her and even told his secretary/right-hand man (can't remember who) that Phil should live like a dead rat. I'm not surprised if the Emperor didn't know what was going on because he really didn't care for her, but how did NONE of the maids or her nanny know? (like Nanny is supposedly well known and would have connections). Unless the emperor replaced the entire staff and told them if they said anything they would get k*lled, idk how NO rumours didn't get out. Even her bio-fam spent less than a week there and was asking questions. Everyone in the palace is just gaslighting Phil into believing the emperor is a good person (when he's known by the kingdom and others that he's not) and cares for her (only her, she's the exception) when they either know that's not true because they directly witnessed/took part in Phil's mistreatment OR are making baseless statements without knowing any history of Phil's and the emperor's relationship and are only basing their opinion on recent years. Either way, this seems like a lot of audacity.
Also, this skewed perception has been going on FOR YEARS, before the evil chick possessed Blondie. So how did no rumours spread at all, at any point in Phil's childhood? And if that guy who the emperor was talking to before is still around, how are you going to pretend this guy didn't say that sh*t about his kid
OK so if that’s a spoiler from the novel I don’t exactly I think I can get your question did he or did he not completely know supposedly because are they going to follow through specifically with the novel as it is and this is what’s going to happen or is it slightly different because you said that but I read the start and I’m like OK she was mistreated by her nanny not by the one she has right now by the other one she was an awful person and she mostly kept everything down low because she thought she wasn’t worth anything because the king didn’t like her so that’s what I was thinking but you might be right and they might follow through with the novel as it is and we’ll figure this out later
I do agree with that like the aid he most likely has heard some shit, because who has loyalties lie with he probably didn’t say anything, and the dead rat comment was the worst one he’s ever said by the way, he’s the king nobody will oppose The king, and most likely because he didn’t pay any attention to her or acted like a dad that. Everybody just thought it was OK. Most likely they are correlated with her killing the queen because that’s usually what happens in the situation so I don’t find it weird that everybody mistreated her thought it was OK and also the nanny she had before was an awful fucking person was like an awful person, so she most likely contributed to them not going out very much and her abuse not getting to the king or the higher aid and stuff like that and everybody thought it was OK because she killed the queen That typestyle crap you know it’s a very simple plot line And also who the fuck would care of the king didn’t so if they were keeping crap from the king and thought he was OK with that nobody’s gonna care
Yeah, that's what I was pretty much getting at there's no way people around her and in the palace didn't know what happened growing up (even if they did condone it). So it's insane to completely ignore everything that happened and be surprised the girl is running for her life. The person who kind of bothers me the most is the aide and new nanny (the one who cares for her), because it just feels like they are the biggest advocates for the emperor, who know the most
Does anyone have any spoilers about if Philomel's past gets out? I think the thing that's bothering me the most is how all the other characters (other than her mage bros and dad who just openly support her and accept her) don't understand her desperation to escape the palace and it kind of annoys me. I feel like if anyone investigated they would surely find out the rumours and mistreatment that occurred when she was younger and understand her feelings (is there something in the novel that explains why this doesn't get out?). My girl literally ran for her life and when was forced to come back was clearly scared/petrified. I don't understand why this hasn't made anyone question their sense of reality (like red flag?). If a child I watched over for a long time tries to run away and desperately escape and believes their father hates them (will possibly kill them) and they don't have a place in the house where they grew up, I'm searching EVERYTHING and EVERYONE, I don't understand how people can chop up something like that to a 'simple misunderstanding.' Like NO ONE misunderstands being hated, especially intensely hated, unless there was an external factor somewhere that caused it (and then why aren't they trying to find that). Children also don't act out, without a reason. Why do they keep acting like she came up with these conclusions out of nowhere?? He's also openly has a terrible character, like he's not a good person?! So why are people surprised when the one person who he supposedly dotes on, comes out and says he's not a good person?
I also kind of wish that the dad's horrible behaviour at least gets known by those close to Phil because I don't like that everyone acts like that he's a caring father who just has a hard time openly expressing his emotions when in reality he literally just neglected and abused her all of her childhood (and literally threatened her and told her to live like a dead rat). I want people to hold him accountable for his crappy behaviour and stop making excuses for him. Especially the fiance- I'm hoping he makes the realization that young Phil didn't study because she knowingly knew she was hated/neglected and they didn't care what she did, not because she was loved/spoiled (idk that misunderstanding especially doesn't sit right with me).
