If the brother is gonna play the same "my sister/daughter needs to marry someone worthy"-card like the emperor I'll riot.
I kinda get it tho. He got no idea how truly over FL is with Spencer, that it's not just the supposed amnesia. So now that his homie is finally reciprocating those feelings he feels obligated to play cupid.
NO scratch that, his sister got replaced overnight. Both he and Spencer are chasing a ghost that's no longer there. Oh golly gee.
homie didn't give a fuck about his exam and went to give them all to his bf instead
It's actually so pathetic how he doesn't even try to save MC's rep, especially when everyone else is actively working to prove his innocence. Bro took one look at the situation, went womp womp and gave up. And you're telling me he's end game?
Good on MC, now realize how much of a dick your supposed hubby is and get a divorce.
(It hurts to imagine bc I know he's actually just gonna go "omg baby, no wonder you were so pissed at me. Don't apologize, IM sorry" after he regains his memories...)
I knew it, Dillon's also being manipulated by Viviana and that teacher. Whatever they did to Leniel, they hid it from Dillon, lied to him non-stop, and used some sorta magic on him. They're greedy af for magic (seeing how interested Vivian is in guiding this potential person with lots of over-flowing magic), for some reason, and I'm guessing they use Dillon like a bloodhound to sniff out more.
For a prosecutor who didn't even read the novel, only the summery of "the fiance was the main suspect", she's acting way too certain about him being the killer, imo.
So, that was obviously gonna happen this way - it's aaaiight.
Yea I mean, I'd also bully FL for how hard her denial is. GG to the trickster for killing two birds with one stone.
Also Ch.31, FL's hairdo looks like she's using like a detached braid as a headband, it looks so ugly I just had to get that out of my system.
Yea, fuck Squal. I'm sorry but if your dad casually suggests commiting a cRiMe and you just do it with little to no questions asked - wtf man?
There was no reason for him to not warn Mag, and if he's that much of a pussy then at least check what that potion does exactly.
If I was the prince I would've cried asap after witnissing the plain dumbass I'd have to marry.
The artist's style improved so much over the years. You can tell how hard they've worked when looking back at the start of 'Miss Not-So Sidekick'
I dropped this a while ago and just now bothered with the most recent chapters and I at least gotta give compliment the author for MC's names.
Estelle, star - Lucifella, aka Lucifer, the one who fell from the heavens which symbolizes her character arc in a nutshell. At least I hope that was the thought behind that otherwise there's really nothing left for me to really like about her.
Let me put the puzzle pieces together here.
I'll call this a spoiler bc I'm that confident.
The temple. They've been turning specific people, whose linage/power as beast-people is strong, into devine beasts for profit. "Unimportant" children like that lost sister of ogFL *winkwinkwink*, for example. *insert aggressive gesturing here* They're the source of what feels like a huge conspiracy rn, it's not only about the kids here. They're after the throne.
ML, aka og villain, drank the puppet potion in the OG timeline. Then he also "infected" og FL with the puppet potion. He obviously never did that out of love/obsession, he was following orders... from who? Probably the temple or whatever entity works with the temple. Why would "they" need ogFL? THE throne, they want either power or smth else
So, the whole og novel is basically just the temple quietly conspiring their way into the royal palace/bloodline. Either for power or because they want something more specific.
First they use og-Villainess. They count on her to become crown princess and support her by doing the whole spiel with the uncle. But ogFL shows up and takes her place. Oh no! What do we do? OH, I know. Use that one high-ranking puppet as a pawn to get close to her, if needed by force, and make her submit to us too. Boom, the crown princess becomes a pawn and they gain access to the crown prince and more.
Also this potent magic power that ogFL has, I think it's that same beast-people special sauce. The temple simply couldn't yoink her bc she was the first child. For some reason only beast-people/"sacred"beasts can sense that type of energy (and seems pretty useless besides for shifting I assume?). It's capable of calming down regular mages, which is either all natural or artificially made to have that effect by the temple for profit. Those potions must've been made from beast people too :(
I'm heavily assuming that the temple seeks to completely legalize their """"practices"""" through manipulating the crown. Either that, or they're working WITH them or one imperial individual in particular that seeks the throne.
*exhales*
God, the manhwa has already won me over and it has barely been 20 chapters. I start reving like an engine when it comes to that type of shit. (giving all my blessings so this shit doesn't turn into another baby lady)
What was the Emperor thinking when he let her into the palace? You can't tell me he doesn't have ANY clue about the Empress' bullshitery.
Making him believe Glorym is his biological daughter is so useless imo. Like just off him instead of making some weak ass lie up last minute just so he can look "more" tragic. As if all the bs he did up until now wasn't enough reason to make him swan dive off the balcony. It's just confusing to the audience and doesn't add anything.
Also, it's so obvious they let AI edit this bruh

Listen I'm but a sentient coach potato but you can't tell me they're that shocked from her dance skills. It's not like her guy is dancing at 1.5x speed or something. "OH NO! We thought the country bumpkin would be rolling on the carpet from how violently graceful the king's moves are, but look at them dancing like normal people! We were so wrong!"
Sometimes anime exhausts me.
Gotta say, I appreciate these types of shoujo stories that treat the main couple's relationship like an actual relationship. Like they blush over each other and don't really confess, keep secrets from each other - a lot of cliches but their relationship isn't limited to just that. They still make kids (effectively so), they vibe, they make progress. They don't get stuck in shoujo uwu love purgatory. If you know you know.
Same goes for the whole family situation. Noella is a flaming bitch, Kayden a murderous sociopath, and the dad a strict, profit-oriented, as well as negligent parent, but they still have some redeeming qualities. Mainly that they still trust if not love each other on sometimes obscure spectrums, which is enough for family. Objectively speaking they're horrible people but if you're part of that family you learn to accept them regardless of their flaws (with limitations), and amen to FL for mastering that (=her siblings).
I think this is why I felt so entertained by the story. If you squint Noella, Kayden, FL, they're all the usual token shoujo villain templates, but their respective traits are turned up to 100 and made fun of, but at the same time not taken too lightly either.
Like some other comment said: The Adams family type shit.
you horny little fujoshis are really in here acting like total monkys, thirsting to see some fictional anime men fuck.
AND ALL I CAN SAY TO THAT IS SAME.
The way I looked at the grandpa and shady kitchen boy, and asap concluded they're relatives - heck, he calls him grandpa himself doesn't he?
Imagine my confusion when FL is all about snooping into his business only to find that out and actually is surprised. Mf I thought you were onto something.
