Further ranting….
Usually the novels, comics, or books are more detailed. It may have not been much to add more to this kidnapping scene to make it even more devastating. The anger and sadness was still coming as well as the hopelessness. I wanted to skake or beat some sense into these stupid people, especially since Edith wanted so desperately to believe in the FL. I mean I appreciate people not suddenly changing just because the “villainess” changes for the better. And I get that the author/main storyline has control over the main characters. The OGML has been finding OGFL suspicious but the “love” for her overrides anything and everything else which actually puts him in more of a villain role or actually somewhat a death-note, or sad minion role (no way the author loves their characters treating them like this all these cycles or rebirth). It reminds me that Killian had those subliminal messaging of Edith being a snake, lavish spender, and liar but this Edith made him actually want to put into the work to counter/question the programming in his head even if it easier to go along with it. ╥﹏╥
I get what others are saying…
I see why people were saying this storyline was confusing. First of all the suicide part on the divine being/god part didn’t make since FL wasn’t trying to kill herself which makes me wonder how many other afterlives are messed up in that world. I really like the cute bodyguard with hetercromia, wish he had a backstory. Also, FL wasn’t given much to work with seeing as she knows nothing about the new world she’s in. But she lost points with me when clearly you don’t know who you can trust why leave your bodyguard outside, and why have sexual advances towards someone who hates you. Now you look like a complete fool since he was raped/sexually assaulted by the emperor. I like a clever/sassy system but not one that doesn’t prepare the person who’s clueless.
Some questions for those who have read...
I skipped ahead before reading all the way through and it seems like she gets along with some of the guys depicted on the cover, but this (as much as I'd like it too) may not ever be a reverse harem. Or it may take a super long time? Does this have a single LI? Is there good plot and development?
idk whether this is going to be true reverse harem with poly relationship which is rare. usually i will just assume everyone in the cover are prospect ml but there will be only one true ml in the end, until proven wrong.
the recent plot is kinda heavy that i cant even think of romance; i honestly just want female lead and her allies to be safe :')
if you skip ahead, well the female lead officially married one of the male lead however they haven't been intimate and the current situation doesn't seem like they will. but they seem really care for each other with possibility of love. however my guts saying the general probably not the main male lead.
then there is the small bodyguard. i suspect he will be one of the strong contender for male lead once he regained his previous form and memory.
the brother probably not the main male lead. i mean they literally blood related. although the bro seems to have crush towards her, nah not happening. i cant imagine she will like him back, or more i cant imagine the censorship will allow it.
another male in the cover is the antagonistic prince. it will be difficult to completely overturn their relationship to be a good one. surely it will take a very long time for it to happen.
lastly it's possible that this story will focus on plot and the romance will be vague in the end that she probably won't choose anyone. if that the case, the fact she did married the general, then probably you can say the general is winning. well hopefully he won't die in the future.
personally my gut think er mao (little bodyguard) is winning
That’s helpful insight, thanks for taking to time to answer my questions. I didn’t think er mao had another form but I do love that guy, the general is nice and I didn’t expect such bad things to happen to him. I was just wondering why in the later chapters there’s no mention of the prince’s relationship meter which was at -10 because of er mao, I thought it was important for the FL to win over all the MLs.
i probably mixed up my memories, i just remembered there are flashes of er mao's past and probably just assumed since he lost his memories he probably also lost his power and form. it just weird that a kid like him turned out to be like that. well we will have to see later.
yeah i kinda remember that's true the mc have to win over all of the love interests to survive but i still doubt of true harem end. i dont mind if that's the case tho. i only remember two webtoons with true reverse harem and they left an impression to me, even then i can still see female lead has a favorite or author does. so does it still count as true harem end if the favour isn't spread evenly?
just wait till it's revealed that the brother is not related to her lmao. wouldn't be surprised if the story goes this direction.
Rape is not okay, some people like rape foreplay/fantasy but there is consent involved. So far, first impressions…
One thing I realized from the beginning the three MCs are all victims one way or another. The FL was only conceived as a tool of her mom never receiving any affection except from her “brother” who seemed to be sexually assaulted by her mom. He couldn’t take it anymore and seemed to turn into a serial killer of women, the knight is in the servant—master position of being a substitute for her “brother.” Of course in these type of stories there is nothing in place to protect children/people from abuse or centers for treatment. No doubt there would be psychological damage, it would be better if we saw some healing within the smut, how the FL overhauls the system and protects other children like her and her brother.
Some venting ahead...
I'm glad that after all these chapters those triplets hatched, I'm not sure about the passage of time or how long pregnancy lasts in this world but it's been forever. I get that differences on the smallest level will be grounds for prejudice and discrimination of the highest levels, but it really killed some of the joy. And wouldn't this be the time to start getting people use to half-beasts, I mean everyone in this world has elements of other animals or are more human-like, actually it would make more sense to ostracize the beasts that look more human. Since the FL started movements on improving lives what about slowly integrating civil rights, I also expect that the "half-beasts" would grow tired of living hidden from others and start living unashamedly. I know they began from a curse but why should they change who they are? Σ( ￣□￣||)
Right! Like what about everyone who was mining the salt with the half beasts? And didn't her chief agree to her marrying Fleurs, the Lord of the half beats? That should have been the stepping stone towards ending the discrimination.
I didn’t even think of that, it would’ve been a good example of love between the half-beasts and other beasts like you said, it also would’ve made some interesting revolts to quell, and where people hate/misunderstand and disagree there’s people who agree and may love the change in time. I would’ve liked to seen more couples or friends amount the half-beasts, then it wouldn’t seem like such a insurmountable barrier.
Just a little venting and praising…
The FL did mourn her and the previous owner of her body’s past but she didn’t wonder the whole time whether or not she could alter the main storyline instead she took actions that would ensure her safety and began paving a path towards happiness. The OG FL is adorable and the rest of her family was worth winning over! I’m not even irritated, just cursing the FL’s and previous body owner’s scummy fathers and hope they and her brother and sister feel powerless and valueless as she felt. (︶︿︶)＝凸
Just some thoughts ahead….
I read some comments before reading and I’m at 13 ch. at the moment. I can see why many people love the 2nd ml. I thought some things that aren’t typically seen: FL isn’t going on and on about how she’s got an inescapable fate and can’t can’t fully enjoy or live life in a new world, her dedication to helping the main couple was cute, and not being delusional about ML’s sociopathic tendencies, constant craving for entertainment, and warped view of love that most likely came from whatever conditioning he went through to get to where he is now. I think she could’ve ended any hopes with 2ml early but he knew that her and ml were already falling in love they “just hadn’t realized it yet.”
I love this quote from Kellian, “a fiery love isn’t bad we’ll burn up together until nothings left” ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
The main story changed so drastically due to her efforts on keeping him entertained without him steering straight into becoming a mastermind killer. The irony is that his step-sister already loves him and accepted him even with that sociopathy nature of his, but I wonder where things go from?
Spoiler/ranting…
I mean the reference again to Roselia being house Chade’s fury instead of weakness makes me worry if anything happens to her or that baby all hell will break lose. Also, I love the wholesomeness while thinking that it actually hurts Roselia more not to have some basic self-defense or poison tolerance. I mean it was already said that her nervous system was even worse since she had no poison tolerance like her husband and son. And I get the new family member not going through the same inhumane treatment but I hope the overprotection doesn’t lead to more misfortune. And Ein’s love story really is taking a back seat. （￣へ￣）
