I believe Cliff went to the front lines to finish off the war with the rebels and Rhyse went to the monastery. Rhyse isn’t evil anymore, due to the original author being banished from Original Edith. I don’t think Rhyse makes any sort of comeback.
Why is everyone okay with the fact that the "real" edith brought 13 other people to her world to live her miserable life and suffer and go through all of the pain she went through just so that she could escape that world ? Since the only way for people inside the novel to leave is to liberate it from those "rules" she kept inviting girls hoping they'd succeed in achieving the third condition exception and set her free, Although I understand why she did it , why was every edith completely fine with what she did and didn't blame her for even a split second ? If she hadn't invited them they would have never come to that world so she's part of the reason they went through all that misery.
Also why is the original Reeze (who did absolutely nothing) get the punishment instead of the author of the novel that's so unfair because she didn't do anything wrong.
It doesn't really make sense
i think the one who gave the authority to OG Edith bringing the people from outside is OG Reeze. After Edith came back from meeting the author was OG Reeze was crying and she was questioning her why she abandoned the oportunity of happiness. She pitied the OG Edith and helped her to brought author. Not only that both of them trapped in that world and couldn't do anything, Edith brought people over and over to escape from there. And other Ediths just thought author brought them. Even if they knew Edith brought them, they would resent the author. Cause they know what Edith has to face in that world author created.
OG Reeze being punished was unfair. But after all of that she wouldn't love the Cliff. (You can see that from the prison cell scene)
And her being not involved with others and punished severly but just send to monastry(if i'm remembering correctly) is peaceful ending for her. She won't have to see others suffer for her happiness. And just like her kind nature she will be acknowledged by others and she will help people in monarchy.
There’s no point in asking anything for spoilers since the manhwa deviated from the novel. They changed a ton of things towards the ending so no novel reader knows what will happen anymore lmao. In the novel there was no mention of OG lize or cliff. The novel just had lize have no other previously existing soul/personality, only the bad one possessing the body. Cliff also had no OG personality where he was possessed, he was influenced by lize and ended up truly becoming a bad person and liking lize like that.

If you wanna know what would’ve happened had the manhwa followed the novel:
After the kidnapping incident lize and cliff hardly get any punishment, maybe only lize being told to stay in her room for a certain amount of time. Edith and killian leave for their own estate and live peacefully away from the rest of the family. Cliff and lize get married. But then lize shows her true personality like what Edith told her to do. She spends a ton of money and likes to throw huge parties. The duke and duchess get more upset at her spending and evens cliff gets upset as well. They realize how greedy and selfish she is.
At some point lize remembers that there’s a long lost child of the royal family from the plot she knows, and goes to find him in order to get credit. She doesn’t find him (Edith coincidentally does instead), so she finds a child to pretend to be the royal family member. She plans it so that they coincidentally meet the child’s mother and she’s happy and grateful until she later discovers he’s a fake. The royal family is angry at lize and punishes her, either wanting her in prison or execution. But Edith asks them to give her a lighter punishment. So she’s sent to a monastery and the emperor forces lize and cliff to get a divorce as well. Cliff is sad and wonders if he’ll find love again. He gives a simple apology to Edith while they’re talking at a table with killian, and that’s it.
Oh and the duke and duchess hardly do anything to punish lize and cliff. But they do get stressed out and upset when having to deal with lize during that time, without killian and edith’s help.
Is anyone else upset with the duke? Like the first son (Cliff?) basically aided and abetted treason and not to mention the attempted murder of Edith, plus all the other shit he pulled helping Rhyse. Then all he gets is basically a slap on the wrist and a second chance? After all that the duke doesn’t even give Killeon the title and is going to make them fight for it? He’s such a piece of crap! The other thing that annoyed me was his apology to Edith, it was so lack luster then he ends it by saying the next time I’m angry with you/accusing you I’ll talk it out instead of accusing you. They should just kill the duke and Cliff off ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Also it didn’t really show what happened with original Rhyse and Cliff, does anyone know? I’d be interested to know if she comes back, since original Edith hinted that there was more to her than a seemingly innocent perfect girl. Like is she more cunning and power hungry and come back after rising through the ranks of the church?
