I haven’t read the novel but it make even littler sense to me that Reese no longer have control over the mind of the people around her, that the people around her wouldn’t realize what she has done like they are all powerful and intelligent people so for her to get away with it until she show her true color is kinda wild to me bc you can tell she has been showing them for a while and the side characters with that were less manipulated realized that right away
The novel and the manhwa are different in this part however i actually liked both the novel AND manhwa. I just think of it as a treat, having 2 different endings!
Yeah the Lize/Reeze won't be punished until the side stories which kinda pissed me off LOL she still got married to Clive, gotten all the luxuries, over the top parties and being a hoe. And even when she was caught, she was only thrown into a monastery where, there was line in the novel, that i feel like she's gotten her peace and acceptance and I didn't like it! I wanted her to regret and regret to no end! (I know bash me for being petty and unforgiving im not like this to real people, i swear)
im not sure if im remembering the "peace and acceptance" part i could've remembered a different novel, but oh well.
I feel like this manhwa tried to give the readers the "satisfying feeling of revenge when Reeze gets caught". Given that not sure if I remember it correctly but in the novel, she was never really caught. Edith was kind enough to forgive her and give her a warning. But at the epilogue, it was Reeze that brought upon her own downfall because she never got satisfied and decided to show her true colors. It was only then did everyone that favored her suffered the pain of not realizing how good of a woman Edith is at all.
I honestly don't know where this will go now. It might probably stay the same as the epilogue but makes little sense.
