I’m really curious about what his true motivations are behind all this... because he doesn’t seem to be the power hungry type like the pope... maybe he’s like Frollo (from the Hunchback of Norte Dame)
he did explain his motivations at the end of chap 59 tho
Yeah, but that feels more like the CHURCH’S reason, both the Cardinals... like sure he came up with the plan, and maybe he is simply just a religious enthusiast... but it seems like it may be more than that. Especially since Shuli may have some unknown connection to the prince’s mother.
to be fair Zealots, are Zealots, trying to found any form of logic is quite impossible (in any type of religions).
His pretty much sure he was ''chosen'' or invested by God to go to war (Holy War) with the other religion but also believe HE will fix the church and it's corruption.
Because tbh, i won't be surprised that he is aiming to be next pope.
And he give Pope Innocent III vibe...spoiler alert Dude was a TOTAL BUZZKILL !
Going for a crusade and Inquisition at the same....yeah, he was busy to kill A LOT of people !
Spoiler:
1.) Obviously, the Chruch is incredibly corrupt and seeks to have more power.
2.) Shulli is a woman. Not just any woman, but a woman who is currently the head of one of the most powerful families (and wealthiest) in the country. You know how the Church was in those days, they think all a woman is good for is being a broodmare (fucking insecure little bitches). She and the other old widow are the only ones in the council and the Church only tolerates both of them because they have no choice and they’re widows.
3.) They thought they could “handle” Shulli and manipulate her into doing what they want but no, they underestimated her intelligence and found that they were no match for her.
4.) With her dead, and her protection out of the way, they think they’ll be able to manipulate Jeremy into doing what they want (or they can destroy the whole family too and erase the Neuwanstein family from power)
5.) Regardless of how many bad rumors were about her in the first timeline, it can’t be argued that the reason why family didn’t collapse in it’s entirety was because of Shulli.
I would demote the father and brothers to commoners, then turn them into Eunuchs. That way they REALLY can’t continue the bloodline, except through Idris (but I have a feeling in this story that bloodline is tracked through the father, not mother, so that’s a moot fact) lol.
The art is great! But either the adaptation was not well done, or there are pages missing (I’m thinking the former, unfortunately). The story had too many jumps from point a to point b, causing the over all flow of the story to be jumpy and weird. Overall though it was pretty good. The FL and ML had a relatively healthy relationship (in that the ML isn’t an ass though he still had issues and the FL wasn’t a complete Mary Sue), which was nice.
For all you complaining about the MC not acting her “mental age”, think about this... if you were to go around acting your real age in a fairly young body, how do you think people in a Middle Age time period react to that?
Given most people during that time were plagued by superstition, not very well. In this case I will grant you they are a bit more modern, but the issue still stands... There is actually a webcomic (I forget the name of it, but it’s the one with the Red haired FL and the blonde hair ML), where she tried to act her age and such, and honestly it did nothing for her except make her more miserable; so there.
You have to remember that in a lot of these comics the FL is trying to survive a situation, and so they can’t just whip out their modern know how all Willy-nilly. And in some cases the FL does (eventually) use there past knowledge (i.e. Doctor Elise). But again, in these cases they had to be careful how they went about it, and often had to establish some ground work before they could proceed.
If you remember the mangas name do tell
She meant this?
Red haired mc who used to be called genius kid, but ended up miserable, and blond haired ML = The Stereotypical Life of a Reincarnated Lady(〜￣△￣)〜

Yep that’s the one
Honestly... I’m okay with it going into full romance once Ewey reaches 16 (age of consent in both the depicted time period and Japan).
Now hear me out you Karen’s out there! I reread the story up to the current update, and it never mentions how old Arjord actually is; the story only says that he’s the “former” king. From the brief glance we got of him as king, he looked to be only 16/17 years old (in the depicted time period, rulers could be crowned at 16-18 years of age). So I’m guessing he’s actually in his late 20s, which puts him and Ewey at about a 10 year age difference; which in my opinion isn’t all that bad. The only reason he looks older is because he has a weather worn face and beard. Shave the beard and he would look much younger.
Now would I like her to be with someone younger? Potentially. Depends on the characters chemistry. But given that this is a story about a seamstress and her work, more than the romance, I’m okay with her being with Arjord.
1) I’m 95% positive that Tara and Judas are not related at all. If I’m understanding Judas right, his father and Adilade’s mother were married for a short period. However both Adilade and Judas were not born of this union (I’m taking that from his statement about Adilade already being how she is when he met her). So from that, I would say that the term “step-uncle” would be more accurate; in terms of applying family ties.
2) The whole “scent/smell” thing is as Judas stated, Tara’s magic’s last ditch effort to protect her; by creating a “smell/feeling” of the need to protect Tara. All human infants have this, as it’s what creates the bond between baby and parent. Much like when a baby duck imprints on its mother. One could ask why this doesn’t always work then? And my theory is that parents who do not spend time with the infants from the get-go (i.e. thrust the child onto someone else post birth) are not affected by the smell, and so are able to keep their distance. In Tara’s case, I would say that her mana is recreating this effect, and is heightened by Tara’s innate desire to imprint on Judas.
3) Currently I view Tara and Judas’ relationship as more of a father-daughter/uncle-niece, platonic relationship. Granted the description did say that things could grow beyond that... and honestly, I would actually prefer it stay a more platonic relationship. Not because I don’t want there to be romance in the story (I really do), or because of the age gap (in my opinion, once someone is proclaimed immortal, the age difference becomes pretty much irrelevant). But because I feel like it would be a romance born from the imprint bond, rather than legitimate like or dislike. The issue is that, if the imprint is THAT strong, it makes Tara seem more desperate. In that, because of her trauma and the bond, she comes to believe that ONLY Judas can love her; and that creates another type of unhealthy relationship. So ultimately, I really hope that either the author starts down playing the imprint bond, or more preferably, Judas and Tara’s relationship remains a platonic father-daughter/uncle-niece; and the love interest (not the ML, that’s Judas obviously) is eventually introduced.
thank you so much for this!!!! i loved reading this
Thank you, and you’re welcome
I kind of agree so far
so well said
Do you have any additional thoughts?
Thank you
Yes that the better outcome and like you said the relationship won't be healthy if she don't become a "strong FL".
but with the spoiler I read, it won't be like this so I dropped lol
spoil it for me ?:00
I think I may keep going for the time being. But I admit that I’m a bit disappointed.
If I had to guess, the comic’s description says it all.
Eric was my favorite. I mean I liked all of the guys, but Eric was the best
Is it awful that I wish that Victor was the male lead? He seems the least shallow of the bunch...
