Everyone is disappointed with the manager (I also am) even the manger is disappointed with the manager, but I just want to talk about that co-star and her aunt or whatever...like that co-star is rubbing me the wrong way??? Even the Aunt like, why are you getting pissy? Honestly it is a part of an actor's job to act out a scene faithfully (like when there's a kiss scene) but if it can be circumvented for the comfort of an actor isn't it fine? Stop being an entitled bitch. And her niece that's Shin's co-star, I got bad vibes like she's about to start up some shit too. Like I get the feeling she might be two faced with the way she "pulled some strings" to get a role, and that first big role she's got she's already hitting on her co-star? Like everyone else has to watch there image, but you're immune to that I fucking guess? Not to mention the nepotism is nepoing hard since she got the main role.... The company obviously is corrupt since you have the CEO playing dirty games and literally blackmailing Shige who didn't even want to act in the first place. Doesn't surprise me anyone affiliated is bad fucking news they're all fucking trash and it pisses me off, especially since you know that shit like this is normal IRL too like we all know how many industries like the media and entertainment are all fucked up. Which we just have to accept as normal??? Like just let these motherfuckers live! In fiction and IRL too I can't TT
I would literally shit myself if I found all that out and had to stress about that dumb shard
This will include spoilers and is long ASF you've been warned
I made some responses to someone's thread before about the harem and I too was pissed when I learned of it, so I went and spoiled as much as I could and read translation/translated some of the Korean LN after I ran out of those translations as well. Coming back here to relay info that maybe not all of you want to find but still want to know if you want to keep reading moving forward (basically is it worth it?).
I wanna say about the whole harem thing in a general, is that it definitely isn't one dimensional. Since the story is already so good, the characters are also built much better than other Op MC's or reincarnated MC's with basically a large following of girls or guys that then create a harem. I think the power fantasy trope leads people in making pretty bland characters which becomes annoying when you have only built one decent character (sometimes not even that) which is basically the MC. It becomes tough when you can't see a relationship(s) between the MC or characters in general either.
With all that being said, my honest opinion is that the harem is really not that bad. IMO, am I partial to harems...... mmmmm no. Harems are just used to fuel the ego of the reader vicariously through the MC, like these characters are just fodder basically. And most of the time they are annoying because they aren't well developed people! The difference here, is that the harem (which is more like a following to boost the MC, so imo I would call the relationship in Damn Reincarnation more poly or something idk) are all characters that I like or have grown to like (And I think you guys will too). The whole thing is complicated because well first, Eugene is immature and clueless when it comes to love (like to an embarrassing degree). He doesn't know how to reciprocate or really what he's doing. Which makes sense because he spent his last lifetime actively avoiding love. Secondly, Anise/Kristina's personalities are a bit warped. They spent their lives giving everything to the Church and being made to be a perfect vessel/fuel a perfect vessel to serve the Church. Like I said in a previous comment, Anise lived and died in a pretty shit way and Kristina had lived her life that way too. Eugene saving them both and freeing them lets them see the opportunity they have (And for Anise the opportunity she can have in this life), and that opportunity is Eugene. For Kristina Eugene is her savior (which is cliche, ik), but Anise is obviously a little more complicated than that. Since they both have never really gotten to express their desires before and didn't even consider a future with their desires, this is where the warped part comes in. In the LN they're both described as snakes (mainly Anise but later also Kristina). They use that compassion that Eugene has for their circumstances, like Kristina saying she would take no one else but Eugene and if rejected would live with that and with no one else. Some of it is a guilt trip and some of it is them putting pressure on Eugene who is romantically immature, because unlike Senya who is like Eugene, (Shy, awkward, and not upfront because they are embarrassed and both prideful people) Anise/Kristina will do whatever to make Eugene see them in a romantic light (took his first kiss and does other shit in the LN too). Third is the relationship that Senya and Anise have which I think is really important. They are best friends and care about each other a lot. In the LN Anise was aware that Senya like Eugene and she put her own feelings for Eugene on the backburner for Senya. They even wrote that book together about Hamel the Idiot because they were both pissed he died. In the current time period where Hamel was reincarnated, Senya, knowing Anise's feelings for Eugene, has a hard time fighting her best friend for him because she wants her to be happy too, and vice versa. They both give and take a little because they both think they deserve happiness and love that's been long overdue for each of them.
The weird thing is, is that I feel (idk just conjecture) is that maybe the author was going for Senya x Eugene, because it is genuinely set up that way. And then later on felt pressured to add Anise because they felt bad or readers or somebody made them. Cause imo Anise/Kristina deserve happiness too. Honestly one of the most memorable moments in the LN is Eugene rescuing Kristina. I feel like I read somewhere that the author has gotten tired of the series? I don't remember where tf I read that but it would make sense since there are literally so many effing chapters of this series that have not been translated from Korean.
If you guys have any questions also just ask (Like about Ciel since everyone hates her lol) or about other things I will gladly answer if anyone is interested sorry this post is so long too lol

See, I agree with the commenters who have a lot to say about the mother. Was she narcissistic in her first life, abusive and terrible. All yes. She was honestly a terrible mother and deserves all the hate she gets, and I don't think her mother could ever really make up for the abuse done in the previous life or the current one. I think the way she's framed in the story now currently (loved, adored by the people her husband and the daughter, the most powerful person in the empire too) leaves a bitter taste in many people's mouths for either personal reasons or nonpersonal because who wants to see an abuser win? But honestly, I think not only are we too obsessed with the cliche of revenge in every story of reincarnation etc... but also I think the most important thing is that ultimately this is not the mothers story. Its her daughters. We can't blame Lyrica or even be mad at her, she is a child clinging to her mother because that's all she has. Her reactions throughout the story are understandable and she doubts her mom as well, even now. Of course all kids react in different ways (shown and acknowledged by the author with the character Fjord) and her being the epitome of good are also connected to other reasons (spoilers so I won't say). At the end of the say, Lyrica is the main character of the story. Even though it pains us the readers seeing her mom succeeding in this life, and also not being given the retribution and punishment we think she deserves, ultimately its not what Lyrica deserves. Lyrica spent her whole previous life under the thumb of her mother and even in the end I don't think she could hate her completely. While I don't think any of us would feel the same way, it would be a completely different story and there are definitely a plethora out there that satisfies that fantasy. But Lyrica in this life deserves a mother who gives her everything. I especially think for a child, what is much more important than revenge is to be given a better life. And for Lyrica an even better life more than what she dreamed of as a child from the slums. I think this is a great story because the twist is unique and it gives us the fantasy that many of us read these stories for but in a slightly different way. No kids deserves to have to take revenge, escape some brutal situation, or whatever authors put isekai'd or reincarnated characters through. They deserve it from the beginning. Honestly this is a great fantasy for that, because yes, her mom should be the one to bring them out of poverty not her! Lyrica deserves the most and that is what I am here for!!!!!

After reading the comments I think the brother knew from the beginning. The chapter where you see his thoughts (ch 17) he explains his regret and wanting to fulfill her wish. Like he makes it apparent that he knows his sister is gone and she made it really clear in what was obviously her farewell to her brother. Like for sure he knows and he's sticking around and treating the MC well because it was his sisters final wish. I hope we can see more of what the OG Peony did and more of her life before the switch in later chapters.
Also I love the new character Beem, like the style, the uniqueness, its so fun and refreshing I love this series so much TT
Just some little things.....
WHERE'S THE REST OF IT? I really wanna see how the OG Ripley handled the MC problems in the modern world. Also want to see the kids TT like rlly where's the rest. Also I am surprised by how much I liked this, cause I remember reading it a long time ago and dropping because I felt bad for the Duke because of Ripley's insane rejections. Honestly I feel like its hard to get the unaware MC right without her annoying the readers but I can say you warm up to Ripley's recklessness. And when Ripley kicked the shit out of that Prince and said "Do me a favor and go die" while also standing on that ledge cause she'd rather jump than be married to that POS. I have never resonated with an MC more because whenever shit like that happens in a story its like the first thing I think of, its like the author pulled that out of my own head. Like that whole scene floored me. I love when the MC's aren't pushovers and some stories of the genre make me so infuriated because of it, but I love how Ripley is just rambunctious through and through. Only problem with the damn thing is there isn't more. Honestly glad Ripley didn't kill the Villainess too, I think there is another isekai that shows the issue of the MC vs Villainess in these stories (Even Monsters Like Fairytales), but why can't these villains have a good end? And I'm not talking forgiving everything and positioning the MC to be some saint, but honestly I think Ripley's outlook was realistic and empathetic (much more than many readers which is why she is the MC not us lol)
The month long waits are actually killing me I can only reread this so many times TT
