Just a long-ass rant from a long-time pained reader. It contains spoilers.
I loved the first season so much, and I've been following this story since December 2017 when it first came out in Korea. So it pains me so much seeing how we still have a bunch of nothing and even less.
It started so perfectly, we had a clear setting, we were introduced to some subplots and from time to time we were given hints of what happened in Lovely Princess. It had the right amount of fluff and drama and even the secondary chacaters had the right amount of screen time.
Then the second season came (it has been more than two years since Claude lost his memories) and from that point to this very day it has just been an endless flood of drama and no real plot whatsoever.
It's been two years of nothing, running around the same two things happening = tea time and
Chatting. The few glimpses of moving forward (like chapter 80 when Lucas came back or when Anastaciois finally decided to do something different from moping around ) were rapidly brushed off just to create more drama and give space to a (to this day still non-existent) development of secondary characters. It's sufficient to think about how much more we know now that we didn't in the first season. Almost nothing.
Don't get me wrong, a story cannot exist without secondary characters and the more depth they have, the more the story will be interesting, but here comes the issue.
From the first half of the second season the story has centered around Jennette, maybe in an attempt to give her some justice since in novel she was a total whack, who knows. And my problems with that are
1) the wasted potential.
2) underdevelopment of the main characters.
1)We have a total blank, naive and cretin character oblivious to everything and far too trusting. The possibilities were endless to develop her, making her a deeper character. Now even after she discovered the whole damn Alpheus household was lying to her she still blindly trusts them and instead of developing her they make her (for the 1000th time) cry and drown in self pity.
This "Poor me, Pitiful me" attitude she has had from the very first chapter is still there, it's chapter 93 and she is still the same as she was 70 chapters ago. What a waste of a good background. She could have been a fantastic character but here we go with the same whining.
2) The MC is MC for a reason. The moment you develop and focus on side characters you have to keep in mind that it necessarily has ripercussion on the Main Character. But as chapters move on with Anastacious, Jennette and whatever without developing them, the MC remains stale. This Athy is not even the Athy of the first season, she was so proactive, intelligent and now to focus on Jennette and her Dad storyline they forgot to develop even the main characters. Lucas who? Claude who?
If the deleopment or whatever they plain to do is THIS slow, you have to give something to the readers. And before someone comes at me saying that slow progressions are not bad,... It is not necessarily bad. But you have to give us something and Spoon said the story will be maximum 120-130 chapters long, which means there are more or less 37 chapters left to do what they had chances to in two whole ass seasons.
How long will this drama take?

Thank you, 100% agree with you. For me all the chapters that focused on the cousin and her bastard uncle as much as I tried they weren't interesting so I would end up skipping them and in all honesty I didn't miss much. Their prolonged drama of the two could've been compiled all in a 2 or 3chap max. Like you said Lucas and Claudes' past is something that the author has been stingy on all we've gotten is crumbs. Things with the main cast basically took a back sit after S1 and now I'm just waiting for things to pick back up for the story to get going.

No dick is worth is ma'am, good job.
Also Wishit what did he expect? She has enough self respect to dump his sorry ass after ten years of being neglected and abused by other nobles without him raising a finger and he has the audacity of being surprised? Nah man, small dick energy everywhere.
A queen doesn't settle for second-hand items, he can keep his brown haired Karen and live unhappy ever after

Been reading this and beware, Mc is definitely not mentally okay.
He dresses up as his sister and rapes (?) multiple times the Blondie, (who is apparently totally unaware of what is going on and seems genuinely in love with Mc's sister. Dunno, maybe things will change and we will discover he's fucked up, but for now he truly seems pitiful) getting him drunk so he cannot tell the difference between him and his sis.
Mc also is fucked by the black haired guy, who lusts over him and even imagines him while fucking another dude. I suppose there is somewhat a blackmail since he sent Mc women garments.
Maybe I'll edit later once I read more.

Please, no more "gentle character becomes a villain and tries to ruin MC's life out of jealousy". That's so useless and overused, especially because Athy hasn't even wronged her once and even in Lovely Princess never antagonized Jennette despite her having everything she wished for. I would understand Jennette hating on Mr White, Kiel and even Claude, but Athy has been nothing but nice.
How about both her and Athy remember their first life in LP, Jennette feels remorse for not helping Athy and wants to make Mr White and AnASStacious pay for using her all her life, Athy is now aware that she is the real one and cannot see the world she is in the same way. They start plotting together to take revenge on the ones who wronged them.

For the ones who haven't read the novel and cannot wait, here spoilers from the latest Korean chapters (I'm almost up to the last one)

As I think we already know, this is all Trashoe's plan. He thinks Naver cannot have children since, when they were little, they ate poisoned cookies with the power to make ones infertile. The empire needs a successor, so dumb hoe decided to divorce Naver for a year, make a baby with Trashta and wait a year ( so their baby will be the legal successor) , divorce Trashta and remarry Naver, as his queen and mother of the future successor.
His plans got thrown out of the window when Naver remarried with Henley. While Naver was busy dealing with her married life and her new role as a Queen of another kingdom, Trashoe and Trashta got married (with all the high nobility using her as a laughing stock since during her marriage she came dressed like a clown, trying to be more beautiful than Naver. Trashoe was extremely embarassed and furious, so much that he didn't even watch Trashta while they were exchanging vows LMAO).
As time passed, trashta was getting more jealous about Naver relationship with Henley. She thought Henley was firstly in love with her and cursed Naver because she believed he was stolen by her. (she basically wants all the attention to herself and cannot believe there is a man who doesn't find her attractive ). Trashoe instead was desperate. He really loved Naver and wanted her back, to the point of calling a painter to modify a portrait of them making it like Naver was watching lovingly at him (LMAO, shit yourself). He even couched many times crying in front of that painting.
Some time later Trashta gave birth to a baby girl called Gloriem. Trashoe acts like a good father, really loving Gloriem and caring for her.
In the other kingdom, Naver discovers she is pregnant. When the news arrived to Trashoe, he was SHOCKED. He wondered how in hell Naver, who was supposed to be infertile, could be pregnant. But then realized that THE INFERTILE ONE WAS HIM as he watched Gloriem in horror. From that point on he didn't even want to watch the baby.
About him, he ends up alone like a dog watching from afar Naver and Henley babies who look exactly like Naver. He cried because they were the carbon copy of the woman he loved but they could never be his. He realized how stupid he was and regrets everything.
P. S. Trashta cute face gets ruined because of an accident. Bitches be laughing in the distance

Correct me if I'm wrong but i read a spoiler that said that Gloriem's father is Viscount Roteschu, because before Trashta could escape he rapes her, and then soon after she meets this Trashoe's during his hunting. Dont remenber the post exactly but i guess i readed in Novel Updates on the spoiler seccion. I started my obsession with this story in January, it's been a while since I heard it. So a thousand apologies if I'm wrong. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄

Tbh, if trashoe just honestly told Navier his plans or gone about it a different way and adopted or something, this could have all been avoided. And we wouldnt have hated him so much. Maybe. But anyways, his dumbass decided to act on his own and leave his empress in the dark, so he brought this onto himself ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Now I understand why the family Jeannette pictured bothered me so much. They are matrioska dolls. There cannot be two dolls with the same size unless you replace one of them.

It felt strange to me. Matrioska dolls are supposed to represent a family, and as such they are made with different sizes to "complete" the bigger one (which is usually the mother). This is why you cannot have two matrioska with the same size. Also they are all decorated with the same colors/patterns as they are a whole family. In the mental image Jeannette made, Athy and Claude clearly belong to the same pack, as they complete each other (colors-size and such), but Jeannette seems to belong to another pack. She is the same size as Athy and her colors are nothing like Athy and Claude's. Seems like she is aware of this, but just ignores it, which bothers me
This is definitely our year! (*loud crying*) I'm so fudging happy we have more and more yuris. Never understood why they are not popular, I mean, have yall seen girls?! (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
