*venting ahead*
I liked Elsa’s mom and dad’s love story, and I get that the dad was grieving, blaming himself when the emperor required unreasonable workload from him…yes he lost the love of his life but that baby there in his grief the mindset could’ve been, let me love this baby with her mother’s share as well. Keep my wife’s memory alive by telling our story or reading it after writing it down since he’s no good with words, not marrying that horrible woman to keep up appearances or whatever it’s better to be a widow. I mean the flower power that I hated seeing in Karen was sweet when dad gave those roses to mom. Like others said in his grief and cowardice he failed his older daughter and sullied his love’s memory. ╥﹏╥
I never expected that the adventurer she was supporting took actions into his own hands, and his origin is so sad. This is one of those unexpected gems. ╥﹏╥
I get Celine's far too trusting and naive, but ch. 34 was especially painful to read. Will and her sister should not leave her alone. Firstly, baby why does your younger sister have to tell you that you started falling for Will? Secondly, one alarm went off why didn't she go with it, stay in public don't dismiss your bodyguards. Do you know Celine that your safety is the safety of kingdom, Will will set it ablaze if you die? And those men were talking about necrophilia and rape... ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
does the FL ever find out about her father and younger brother's antics and attempts to reconnect after watching her all along, do we ever have a family reunion? (〜￣△￣)〜
Will Elsa ever know where babies come from, possibly before the boys? (⊙…⊙ )
Thanks for the uploads! Can we have chapter 83, I wondered what happened since suddenly chapter 84 came up. I read it regardless, but I’d like to know why the main culprit fled and how she stole the beetle headpiece. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
*spoilers and thoughts*
Mama said knock you out! I love how FL protects and loves her partners. It makes even more sense that was suppose to be in the protagonist body, I like the spin in her being the villainess role/body. But I’m sad that the fate of the world hinges on her death, I guess it’s like when the antagonists win in otomes or video games it’s literal game over. Except, the gods messed up in this world and she changed a reputation that was that seemed beyond repair. She’s so cool, that’s why her “sister’s” soul stalked her to another world I guess.
* just some thoughts*
I think if the cover can be trusted and based on how much time she's spent with Felix and the Butler that Felix trapped her in this mansion and hired the Butler to care for her. What it seems like we get from this difficult/hard version of the Otome is the insider/deeper parts of the male leads. I think the system or whoever trapped her in the mansion is unfair/strange, why give a person a choice to have a mission then say its mandatory, it the candy was essential to the plot but in tomes the player has to live with that missed info, it should have been "mandatory mission" from the beginning. Maybe that Feliz liked the OGFL but all the turmoil, conflict, longing, lust/love is mixed in his view of self and with Sera, at this point I wonder if the priest and knight will have the same amount of time with Sera. And I miss the Butler, does he know what's going on? Will there be a reverse harem of sorts. （￣へ￣）
I was thinking Levi would continue to grieve and be able to find a new reason for living, I don’t know…something other than what happened. Maybe he could’ve been an ally or partner to their child.
*spoiler and thoughts*
Instantly liked the butler, was gonna like the duke (“Felix”) regardless since in the normal/easy mode he seemed to become less arrogant and more doting with the protagonist/FL. But now knowing his origin story I know he never hated “Sera” (villainess), he hated himself, I would’ve never guessed he was an illegitimate child, and that he thought much like everything else in life he was undeserving of her. I like him more now, can’t say I would’ve handled the gun situation even half as well as she did. And I think this is a single love interest Otome since the person who locked her up hopes she chooses him, but so far I want the butler and the duke. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I did want to see how this ended. It’s always harder to see the treatment of omegas in these various verses, it’s interesting when I’ve seen betas become alphas or omegas since they understand more than one side.
I’m in the double digits, but I’ve gotta say these children went through a lot. And I’m liking that the OGFL and FL get along…and the male leads learn to get along as well.
I may go back on my word but I may wait several chapters and come back…misunderstanding and miscommunication is so exhausting, plus adding the major secrets in the mix is even worse.
More of my thoughts….
I like the leads, and I notice how deeply FL has learned to blame herself for everything while the ML believes no one could possibly love him. I just wish the FL had some observation skills and realized her last man didn’t ever love her. He loved the chase and sex, the man she’s with is capable of great love once someone breaks through his walls.
Like that everything is going smoothly, and at the same time I had a suspicion that the FL would think she could easily throw away all that married talk as soon as her older bro was in the clear. I hope it doesn’t take too long for her to realize that she either really likes or loves Zerkan separate from saving her older bro.
Just my thoughts…
I get both sides, I mentioned this somewhere in the comments before on another section about the choices made behind the scenes for how a story gets revealed to an audience. I’ll start off by saying, yes the emotional build-up was lessened in places that take away from what the characters are going through and it’s saddening when it doesn’t seem like it would cost too much to do. It happens so often when deciding what to depict from a book or novel. I do think a person who only reads the comic will maybe emphasize and feel what’s given, then when reading the book/novel understand the weight of what’s missing or could have gone deeper. I do wish for some of the deepness that may have not been hard to depict. In this case I’ve only read the comic, without the spoilers I understood that the FL was taken advantage of by those who should love her, then thrust in a storyline where her character who was also used by “family.” The way the Edith character was created she suffered in silence, while the OGFL eventually got people to protect and genuinely love her. I thought no matter what the other 12 Ediths did they were doomed to a sadistic end, while everyone but the OGFL were under different levels of brainwashing. I think what the comic does well is how the brainwashing to force a certain view or storyline involves a mental battle, like Edith being a snake or seductress for Killeon. He had to fight the messages flowing into his brain, while Cliff chose not to fight and submit willingly to them. I like how the duchess psyche was portrayed as she wanted to be a fair and kind mother in law to both daughters but something kept getting in the way. I felt the sadness from the clear favoritism between Killeon and Cliff to the point that Killeon needed to break free from his family with the unexpected love, how Edith wanted peace but truly came to love not only Killeon but a few others at the duchy and chose not to run. It does seem kinda last minute to know what the author went through especially when I’d rather see the reunion. (⊙…⊙ )
I like the gender-swap, and think this could very well had went on longer with Ruble being one of the best red riding hoods around…he’s so hot. This story really grabs your attention in more ways than one.
Just some questions/thoughts
How do people become knights in this world, what was the spirit that brought her, are there other wolves? How was Kamui not influenced by Ruble’s sexy allure, usually that’s the first thing people notice…and she was so desperate to get home she couldn’t strategize at the least. If you want a person to lower their guard how bout taking a long break from stealing something they keep a close watch on. I’d probably lose track of going home in my attempts to win the steal the hood, then somehow I’d want to steal a heart. I know it’s a serious crime…lol（￣へ￣）
Just a little disappointed/spoiler
I like how for one partner the FL is possibly the best female role-model he's had since he's used to dating older women who use him for his youth and don't actually care about him. But in this chapter and before its clear he's mischievous and has some rivalry with his best-friend, her second partner may not be in despair about FL missing his sport competitions, but they mean a lot to him and the fact that she believes in him. I knew that massage would lead to lots of sex that meant missing one of the sports competitions, so why not tell him after even if he give puppy dog eyes.
Always gets me interested but the slow changes familial ties/bonds towards better is touching and makes even more likely to stay
What does handsome smell like? This made me laugh but contemplate as well...(⌒▽⌒). At the beginning, I realize just how common child neglect/abuse is in ancient times being that there were no rules in regards to children's rights or welfare. The cycle of poor to non-existent role-models continues and the stupidity I find in illegitimacy often baffles me. I get that "word is law" to those who have power but these children have nothing to do with their birth, their moms may not have any say and most likely have no option for birth control, and why was it never considered that royal/nobel families who get educated need to know something about parenting or children-rearing if they're expected to have heirs, especially when they are so young and lacking in knowledge or affection themselves as children.
The beginning started with the FL wanting to know something no one else was as worried about when reading the main storyline. Did the OGFL love the ML? What was the abyss she was doomed to suffer in at the hand of the person she brainwashed? We all know inquiry into any character may mean you get transported to that world.
*spoiler and thoughts…*
She got more than she bargained for, but as I read more (the initial chapters) she’s tormented by her own family and wanted to steal affection, someone whose very existence relied on her for semblance of any comfort, then that person would end her. There’s in-depth parts in this. Both the OGFL and ML were disregarded. When there’s abuse like this I just hope for healing for the victims and for them make sense of the world.
