Letting this marinate for nearly 3 years o.o was worth the 200+ chapter binge... def making me hungry for the novel scenes to come still ;-; just learned the authors came out with the extra stories! Really want to know what happened after the end ;-; but boo... maybe we'll learn through it, I hope.
I respect your dedication of 3 years
It wasn't easy, but read a bit of the webtoon then was like "need to know the story" went and read the novel... had to wait 3 and half years for it to be less fresh to take on the webtoon again lol. Even though I know what's going to happen, is fine. I'm sad a few scenes didn't make it into the webtoon, but do love how much isn't being cut out, though. Future arc's are definitely going to have me in tears again ;-; yet... worth every tissue!
Webtoon adaptations are really give or take situations, most of the time makes me read the novel out of curiousity so I get it but you'll never catch me marinating one with how impatient I am
Certain ones are rough to let marinate, but since I read the novel, I didn't mind letting it marinate. Gave me plenty of time to wonder how the webtoon will go and now that I know an anime is in the works ;-; how that'll pan out...
I was curious since I bounce between sites, but chapter 61 word for word is MTL it was the exact same on a MTL site I read on. It felt MTL with how the wording was and had to check... I get that it's hard to pay for translations, but at least clean them up a little! Don't be completely lazy ;-;
Had to go find the other chapters through some rough mtl translations and this gets REALLY good o.o
They all instinctively know she's the real one, but none of them have realized this?! Like black haired guy should have clicked that he acts different around her and only the real her. His mother realized this when he first met her when she was a little one, while Alice was still alive. It's clear Alice's death took a huge toll on his mother, looked like they were really good friends. So this uncle is really evil, wow a lot to unpack here o_o
So 3 likely ML prospects, but unsure who she'll end up with or if she'll go with the 4th option, screw the men we're going for one of the friendly maids!
._. Then I saw the spoilers... well that was something... This is a messy series...
Plzz tell me the spoiler
Can I get spoilers too? ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
me too
Me too please the spoiler
Me tooo. Spoil meeee
Might be easier to direct you all to the novel updates' forum where they give loads of spoilers, but uh wow, get ready for this spoilage drop. Hope you're sitting on the seat completely for this mess.
You learn more about what happened with her past, back in the tower, the bodies she made were all her and since they weren't "real" people they were used as substitutes for the research that was done. The bodies she made were near real in every way but missing a soul.
So during the pre-marriage tour she learns that the fiancé [he's the second ML], that he had been experimented on and practically brainwashed in a sense. She tries to undo the damage and fix him because she felt guilty when she learned the bodies she made were used on him. She also believed he would be mentally strong to handle what she does next in her grand plan. She dies in front of him, which just mentally breaks him then and there. He actually believed she died.
She feels so much guilt and pity for him that she ends up with him and the other duke (the one raised by her birth family). There isn't really any romance in the series from what I see, but she loves the two equally. She essentially creates a "golem" body to keep at each of their homes to keep in contact with them wherever she is.
Going back to the tower bit because this comes up a lot, you learn that her original body did die, but she had moved to another and can keep coming back from the dead no matter how many times you kill her. The birth family when learning she originally died not long after entering the tower thought maybe she resurrected outside the tower and lived a peaceful life, not that she had resurrected inside the tower suffering the 8 years in the tower. When they learned this, they were devastated. She cuts most of the family off, besides the younger one [the one that kept seeing the younger version of her in her].
The messy part continues, though. You learn that she had managed to scrape up her mother's soul and was placed within the first clay doll she made of her mother, and goodness it hurts just thinking on this one ;-; She saw everything that happened at the start and spent years fighting for her daughter. Not too clear on this since not much was covered, but do know she is turned into a god as well as the adoptive mother too.
OH MY GOSH. JAW DROPPED. THANK YOU FOR THE SPOILERS (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Poor Vikir... but dayum does he look good in that! I wanna know everyone else's reaction to him dressed that way... now to wait for the next chapter!
Pass me some popcorn, they're trashing here!
But honestly, guys, you forgot the part that they've known each other for years. Granted, they barely interacted, but you have to remember she was beaten in a duel as a kid by a non magician. The idea that no one could best a magician was strong in her mind, and she fell in love with him since he bested her.
She and him had a "marriage" proposal so she came to expect this and her little girly mind was mostly there in love with a little reason left. When it came to the part where she was kidnapped, and he saved her, then "protected" everyone by taking on Madam. We all knew he didn't die and that he failed to kill Madam then, but to everyone else they thought he died sacrificing himself for the survival of many.
She became obsessed with him, while everyone believed he was dead, she was determined to bring him back. Don't think more so in the sense of love, but more so in her sense of trying to repay his sacrifice. She should have taken the time to wait, but a girl that young and with that personality is bound to fall to the complex. I can understand how she went and made a deal with a Corpse after her Uncle [the old dude who died] had paid the price of the rebound in her place. She didn't want to lose anyone else after all that.
She was still a child and children may seem strong, but they are still fragile. Her mother should have reigned her in like her other Uncle suggested, but that foolish woman thought her daughter would hit the wall, not destroy the wall and proceed to cover everything in blood along the way.
Can't really just throw mud on her when there were so many people who didn't stop her or try to talk her into other ways before letting her dive into the dark magic of necromancy. If she had held on for a few more years, she'd have learned of his return, but she wouldn't have been able to find her sister's corpse either.
That's my rant, so what popcorn are we sharing? I got caramel and cheese!
Agreed, I mean she is obsessed, and that obsession went too far, but you can't really blame her for that. I blame the mom who didn't reel her in or do anything for her except let her be. That is like the worst you can do to a teenager who lost her friend and fiance because they supposedly died rescuing you. She was bound to make awful choices, but no one was doing anything to stop it. In fact in many of these stories the parents are mostly useless and leave the kids to "prove themselves" before doing anything, or just leave the kid by themselves to "grow" which is actually just really shitty parenting. I mean, these are teenagers, so most choices will not be intelligent and well thought out. And in fact it usually works out in these stories because their kid is actually a reincarnated adult or a reborn person, not because they are actually teenagers making good choices!!! That particular parenting style bothers me so much in these stories.
Exactly! If her mother had done things in a better way, we might have seen a different outcome. Maybe had her fuel the obsession into maybe making things better in his absence, or such things. It's an outcome we could think of, but were denied the route of, sadly.
