The pacing didn't feel wrong, but it really quickly got to the end I almost didn't notice
I'm a bit disappointed that till the end the father never once acknowledged his mistakes or even said her name correctly.
When he realized that the emperor caused the death of his OG daughter, I would have wished for him to switch sides and redeem himself, but I guess once a douche always a douche?
The black haired girl is such a mood xD
I love their couple! It's just so nice to see that she found someone who matches her perfectly like this
Not sure what is happening as the translation is confusing, but I think they meant that the OG FL is the reason why everyone goes insane, because the are fixated on her. She probably actively does something to stir them up, but that's not exactly shown. She's probably fixated on the writer FL, hence why she followed her to death as well.
Sociopath just enjoys whatever is going on, probably because he feels that the writer FL thinks similar to him (because everyone seems to be a fragment of wroter FL past/psyche).
Saw a lot of people complaining why he didn't recognize her, because they still act the same. They don't lol she said she is putting on a mask when wearing makeup, literally becoming someone else, while he stopped bein interested in his collegues. He did start noticing her by himself when he started caring.
Also I don't think he ever thought about Saki lying to him about her name or that keeping it a secret that they are coworkers. It was probably easier to believe that they are separate people.
I think this was part of a collection of different stories that were uploaded already here somewhere. Not sure under which title
