So I just reread, and basically the big issue is that 3rd princess Betty is hoarding mana stones to ultimately raise their price and then profit later. Eve has brought up info from her previous life to contradict Betty’s plan of forcing homunculi to mine their main mine harder, and was granted imperial permission to execute the plan. Chapter 59 being a later chapter definitely is important and I hope someone can fix it, but eve’s plan is based on her knowledge that the tail of the dragon whose corpse formed the main mine was separated in its subjugation, so she is likely visiting the main mine to secretly improve the lowest homunculis lives, while having the count and green hair person look for the where the tail area is.
Also, side note, eve knows form her teacher who retained memories too that Michael loved her in the previous life, and Michael was only given the hint that if he wants his memories, he has to awaken as the king. He wants to get his memories because he misunderstands that someone performed the regression ceremony and could have their memories and stand in eve”s way to the throne.
The transitions between arcs/quests are nonexistent. First he’s part of some competition, but then he’s off to the holy empire, then the elves, and this or that dungeon randomly. Like, he never seems to finish any of the arcs before he just disappears, and so we the reads don’t get any info on how things were resolved…
The duke and duchess are being redeemed, cliff will be punished and redeemed, the author will be actually punished directly and potentially replaced back with the real Lize? I guess this is also an okay alternate fairytale ending but it’s not as good as Killeon and Edith just being satisfied with each other in the novel. I guess the novel DID make Edith too forgiving, but she’s not really driving her own revenge here either ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I kinda want Tina to just kill everyone. Isis is clearly being manipulated. I’ve lost confidence in her compared to Ben. I just want Astina to kill everyone and then just peace out and live her life for herself. She’s been dealing with so much bullshit. Like terroid said he doesn’t love her so fine, just leave

.Just reread this and I have to say, it overall declines hard when Norman’s suicide squad is introduced. The ideas are all great, but something about the tone or like, the believability of the story shifts with those four characters. Like, their introduction very starkly marks a point in the story where, “yeah I could believe based on what we’ve seen in the story that these children could do these things” ends and, “oh okay we’re just gonna use magic now.” Begins which is fine! Just like, feels like kinda two different writers
The drama of this scene is greatly diminished compared to the novel where she didn’t know who the author was at this point, the duke still distrusted/didnt care about her, she has been greatly beaten, the guards found her on their own after like a week where she had dressed in shabby commoner clothes and had bought a hobo kit and used hit potatoes to stay warm. Like, she was so much more pathetic here and genuinely still trying to run away at this point in the novel, but I think they’re trying to give the duke, cliff, and the princess a bigger role in the WEBTOON, and allowing the duke and cliff to actually be redeemed I guess? I was okay with them being punished by the author finally using their own personality instead of acting like lize be the punishment as she greatly decreased their reputation
I showed Leo’s apologizing scene to my husband and he literally was like, “that’s you.” I’m so into how realistic this is. Like, maybe their personalities are a bit extreme opposite ends of some kind of spectrum but they stay true to character and act like a couple actually trying to work it out when given the chance. I think Leo’s still gonna fuck up but he’s clearly really trying, and tbh, JJs plan worked so he clearly knows Leo well
Preshati litteraly just telling Theo “I love you” in every way possible till smooching. Does it hurt, are you okay, you can take your gloves off with me. Girl has created an entire new love language for the lapelions
I can tell people hate Leo but he’s so sheltered and such he doesn’t know how to treat people right. It’s not that he’s actively treating them bad, he just doesn’t see that he’s not treating JJ well, ut it’s clear as day to me that he loves him and just assumed he never had to say it. On the other hand it’s obvious JJ is just insecure and too quite to say anything. This is such good drama, they both have so much growing to do and I’m here for it. I thought they were gonna tease Leo in an accident/ almost dying way later, but maybe next time it’ll be way more serious
It’s so beautiful! This might be one of the only stories, 2 of 2, that I’ve read where it’s a beautiful positive relationship between a mother and a daughter. I love how her mother gets her redemption immediately so we can just see their love this whole story while lyrica save fyord
It’s not deep or anything but I love how this car dealership scene went. Like, the lady who recognizes and supports their family of three just gets them. He immediately turned seal xD
Didn’t this entire story start out with this entire world being a game or a story with windows popping up for her? Goddamn it people who said the ending sucked were right…
I started reading this manga around the time Michael first was introduced in the Hong Kong arc (over a decade ago), and then I dropped it around the time Sudo was first introduced. Just binged it and WOW is this a fever dream toward the end! This could have ended chapter 87: all enemies are dead or caught, asami realizing and admitting he loved takaba, takaba finally getting respected enough to be allowed to go to such a dangerous environment instead of being treated like a child… then nah, secret agent arc lmaoooo and I agree, everyone looks like a twink now
