So, I started reading the novel and the story progression really different in the novel, in a good way. All the drama about the scandal and MC finding out about her parents death happens before grandpa's death (grandpa hasn't died at the point where I am). They webtoon also cut out a lot of incidents. Such as, Sujin saw them making out in Guam. And then she forced her way in as a model for ML'S company advertisements and her manager spread rumors that Yoonseol is trying to get between Junyoung and Sujin. Only for the. to directly announce in a company dinner that there's nothing between Sujin and Him, and that he's romantically interested in Yoonseol and is pursuing her.

Saw some spoiler about who's helping Grace behind the scenes. Felt like such a betrayal.

Spoiler alert

So, Grace is actually OgSelonia. She somehow got to know about the future and what goes on in the expedition. She didn't want to go on the expedition and do all the hard work but did want the glory of being a Savior. So, she used black magic to switch her soul to Grace's body and mc's soul got sucked in in the process. The duke has been helping her from the start. Their plan was to switch back OgSelonia to her body right away after the expedition but failed to do so (headcanon is this is why MC was in a coma for three months). OgSelonia got impatient and approached the MLs because she considers them to be hers (as they're supposed to be in love with her) and used black magic to sway them. The Duke is kidnapping people for the spell to switch back bodies because each turn requires 100 human sacrifices.

Wow, Grace is such a lazy slut, she's literally doing nothing, and just wanna steal other ppl credits like wtf bro?????? Can she be anymore punchable, and the Duke is also a frikin sicko bro. Basically Grace is a lazy ah bitch, she don't wanna work for the saint position and she also don't wanna work to get affection from other ppl, U know what Grace, all U have rn is fvkin fake bro, U never earned anything urself. U did not earn the honour of the saintess nor love bro.

The only thing I like about the change is that the Duke and Duchess apologize to Edith, which was never done in the novel. However, from the fulfilment of the third condition to Rize's ending, everything was connected. Rize's ending is the same but it happened at the end of the side stories. We gradually saw how Rize being her true self was acting and how the people around her, even those who loved her endlessly reacted to it. How the flow of the story changed once she lost her protagonist halo. And how this eventually led her to make foolish decisions and being sent to the monastery. The ending of the manhwa feels very rushed. I wonder how it'll handle the side stories.
Just read chapter 16 and professor Harrid is giving major Eraserhead vibes.
