Quite a lot ahead…
Like many have said Edith knows how to handle herself in difficult situations, and that last line is so well timed and reminded me that before Killian went off to war and his father still hasn’t recognized her as a daughter of their house to be protected (and they’ll be battling her trashy bio fam)…and a couple times before when Edith was doubting her place with Killian he’d encourage her with, “what’s your name?” Even when he’s not there she uplifted with that and his heart she wears around her neck (necklace). And Killian recognized he’ll never get his father’s approval on anything and only calls him “your excellency” inserting the void between them that his father definitely made bigger…what’s wrong with that man saying his love is nonsense? His other daughter-in-law ha known the pain of being illegitimate and not being accepted by her family, it would have made her a better OG FL to recognize Edith’s suffering as a political tool of her family, I know the author is pressing for black and white storytelling, but it’s so much better if someone knew how her trashy family treated her.
Just some venting…
I get she didn’t want the obsessive ML route and wanted to help someone being auctioned off…nothen wrong with that I’m thinking the way she just hoped for the best as her bros carried her off was sad. Like I’ve seen maybe getting him a loving family that wanted to adopt a gifted child that needs healing from many traumas perhaps or begging her father to let him grow up alongside her as a friend her own age not her servant. Something other than… “be free and live a good life young one.” ╥﹏╥
Spoilers and venting ahead....
As the readers we see all things that happen and have to impatiently wait until certain characters realize what's going on or comes out of denial on their own since they don't have the same info. I liked those moments when Clodan reasearched his curse just to come up empty when he couldn't break it, when he genuinely told Ray he doesn't know what love is, while at the same time he allows himself to get swept up in whatever emotion takes him: rage, jealousy, and lust. It broke my heart a little when he allowed her to chase after the bunny, knowing she wouldn't want to harm while knowing he wanted to corrupt her. I also wonder about that little Clodan she saw in her vision that was trying to help her stay true to herself. Clodan masterminded Ray's grandpa to send her there for entertainment and didn't expect to like her lack of ultrerior motives and trust so much. She begged to be allowed to know what was happening, I understood not telling her at first but to keep her so in the dark is irritating. Should I not have the option to know I won't be human anymore? I like Ray but I wonder if there will be real character development for either since Clodan can be incredibly selfish and greedy, the beastly nature is coming through alright, but will this be a devastating end where Clodan is just as lonely because Ray hates him or prentends he doesn't exist, maybe she escapes? Or will she become strong enough to stand up to nonsensical behavior, give him clear ground rules for how he treats her and at least if he lies to everyone else don't lie to her, I want some taming and apologizing.
*spoiler*
I get she doesn’t want people talking at work or seeing her as a cougar. I’m just sad at the moment, one of the MLs was always drawn to older women who would string him along while the other wasn’t particularly interested in anyone but wanted to help his bestie. They’re good guys and she’d make a nice partner for them. But, will she spend forever not considering the relationship with the 2 MLs as a serious/real one…and when she said they were her cousins. That really surprised me, I guess I pictured them telling the creepy guy off and saying something in regard to them living together and hinting at their relationship….and of course sex at some point. （￣へ￣）
Well Lux tried talking to her about what’s going on, plus she starved the poor lust demon he was being so patient. At the same time he hasn’t talked to her any further about his last partner that betrayed him, so they’re at an impasse.
I’m just gonna come out and say it. FLs mom, co-workers, and boss are just as bad as her ex- as I suspected… there’s no reprieve in sight. No one cares about her happiness or well-being. Like I don’t care boss lady what do you have to do that’s so important that you leave your heavily drunk employee in the hands of someone else or throw her in a taxi. I don’t care if he likes her, is he a person that respects consent or knows that’s she’s incapable of making good judgment on her state. I know there’s traditions and unrealistic expectations but there doesn’t have to be a competition between the MLs, it’s what they said… “Mom for the first time in my life I’m making my own decisions no matter what you say…I have 2 men in my life that I’m serious about and care about me…I’m happier than I was with that pathetic excuse for a human!”
*spoiler*
Uggh…I really liked seeing Doya’s past he’s just as adorable as he was before but I don’t know if angel/uncle-guardian protecting him from his pain is the kind of help he needs. I get it supernatural people live longer and Doya still loves Yeon, maybe he’ll give So won a chance (maybe she’s his past love reincarnated) but has he been able to grieve his past love. With the painful memories come the good and meaningful ones that made him who he is. Then So won she’s experiencing new things and making memories, it’s possible she’ll have the most growth since doesn’t suspect people’s intentions and has to find out what she wants out of life.
I’m guessing Viola doesn’t want Ivan to know how badass she is because Ivan is cute when he tries to save her. I think if anything he’d worship her even more know how good she is at swordsmanship. And her future brother in-law is a different kind of cute and strange…I can’t believe he just hand her the sword and watched! Like what?? I was laughing, then he wants to be her apprentice…her additional family is fascinating. But does his brother not have the curse of being aroused around women until he falls in love? Is it just the firstborn?
Usually when people are isekaied or reincarnated with the experience of their past lives they get to be wise beyond their years and lavished with praise. But with this reoccurring penalty that makes her act the age she is currently filling her past experience…I think it gives her an added edge that she needs to be a member of her family and prove herself while still having moments where she’s acting her age. It has helped her resolve the misunderstanding with her dad since a child often blurts out their thoughts and feelings, but with her mastermind bro Aries and the tsundere Ishion there was a need for both sides of her. It was a wonder to behold Aries joining the fold.
First there’s a much appreciated rescue from that dashing Devil, then he shows that vulnerability that he actually seems to really love his mother in his own strange way knowing she may never find it in her to love the Devil himself. I saw the opening for Hilda to say (even if she didn’t 100% mean it) I wouldn’t abandon you young master. Those darn good looks! Anyway, I felt Hilda’s frustration I’m sure she planned and thought through the list she prepared just for him to act like she’s the real baddie. It made sense what he said he loves nature, classical music, and I guess his mom. Hilda even considered killing her friends, I was so shocked. I’m guessing strangers or criminals may be the only ones the Devil approves of to kill. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I get it it’s supposed her world where everyone adores her, but literally the only person that’s saving her from Duke Crawford’s curse and impatience is his fiancé, Angelina. OGFL’s ego and arrogance is so huge she can’t recognized genuine concern for a person’s well-being and she’s been far too sheltered. Honestly, it doesn’t seem like the crown prince even likes her it’s just politics at least the duke really likes Lina and it’s going toward love.
FL’s new mom friend and her son’s new kid friend. I like smart people with gentle appearances. ヾ(☆▽☆)
I don’t know how I just realized but both Hilda and Adrian have high self-preservation instincts, I realized them individually but they’re both doing what they think they have to survive.
*spoiler*
Hilda says this is all a game and the people don’t matter, but if that’s the case why prevent Adrian from killing? Why care for Pricilla? She knows the friendships and life she has at the manor had begun to become more real to her. As for Adrian who never truly trusts anyone, but he trusts that they’ll be true to their desires…that’s a very Devilish thing to say but also very lonely. Now with someone knowing his secret in full this is looking like the beginning of a dark romance. And I wonder how much his interest has increased if she can be his right hand?
Ch 28 *spoiler*
I was shocked and even teared up a little. Adrian’s all about self-preservation but man that was Antarctic cold and calculating how he forced Hilda to reveal her secret and get her into massive trouble. I thought he was enjoying their little game of pretending he’s not the Devil, and my thoughts would have been to recruit my “natural enemy” so that she becomes an ally not an enemy. Should Hilda had worked harder at gaining his interest, I think it may have made him think twice at least. All I can say is I hope he does regret sending her off to her death or whatever bad fate awaits her…I think even if he thrives he’ll be bored with people sucking up to him all the time. Welp, my idea that demon huntresses are on the way may not be too far off.
Ch.18 *spoiler*
There is real trauma/grief for the FL with her mom’s suicide that’s blocking her childhood/teen memories which I understand. ML could tell her about their past, maybe after the second time he asked her about smoking she could think that maybe we smoked together…he treats me differently from an employer because he knew me before and genuinely really likes me now. I thought the worst you can say after sex is, “this was my mistake or this was a mistake…” we didn’t say how much we enjoyed the sweet potato and the ramen. I got more why ML wants nothing to do with his family from the bruises he had in her memory, now he’s someone no one wants to mess with.
It’s like watching a crash in the making. it can’t be good that we still don’t see the Hana lookalikes face or know anything else about her. If Pass makes a contract with her at some point she’ll run into Hana or Lux and the lady will think did he only have sex with me because I look like her? The next chapters in Pass’s love life may be hard to watch.
Ch 44 had me laughing from her full on analysis of politics being words that cut, to her heavenly eyes, and how Aries is closer to being a true brother.(づ￣ ³￣)づ
I was really soaking up the encouragement that the FL was giving the MLs…I mean the world of athletes is often cut-through and when they aren’t able to meet performance or weight goals or get seriously injured it’s like all their hard-work didn’t matter. I loved how she told the more serious ML that trying his best is all that matters and that he can easily be a professor or coach…the same with the cheery ML.
Seeing is not believing when denial is present. I was thinking FL wanting to mate with her same species is expected plus she watched the ML grow-up, so she never planned on seeing him as a mate and there’s the fact that he’s an apex predator. But, she watched ML masturbate while calling her name and he even invited her in…and is “holding back” till she comes around. They both will live a long time, have an age gap, and there’s no way he’s allowing any other male anywhere near her. There are some positives, he does genuinely care for her and considers her family, he’s thoughtful of her needs, and makes for a great protective.
Doya’s pouty face is adorable, my wish is that So Won will slowly pick up on his little gestures. He’s seeing that there’s something special about her linked back to his prophetic dream and suddenly being more foolish for her.
