If you like 'girl x supernatural entity' horror you guys should check out "Red Fox" by Hama, it's a historical setting with a similarly powerful, formless entity that is the only one of its kind, hiding among humans even though it doesn't really understand them (and who's not an actual fox, they just call it that, but it has no definite form). This one loves killing humans to eat their livers, and then it disguises as some of the humans it has killed, allowing for a lot more goriness and twistedness: it meets and kills several people before he bumps into the FL's mother and, through her, meets the FL... whom it falls for.
Eww... The 'normalized sibling marriage' nightmare... ew (I kinda get why she came to fear his "Aha") "The neighbor's kids are already married. When are you two gonna have your ceremony?" Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Osiris: "Since I couldn't use Anubis to bind us together as our mutual kid, I'll make myself an 'Anubis suit' to get Seth to look at me fondly"
Seriously though... Anubis deserves all the credit for managing the impossible feat of making an undead green pickle FINALLY know seggziness
Haha the uncle: "This tiger is your husband...?! Erm, let's get another medical checkup.."
From the creators of "IT: Welcome to Derry," now comes...
"IT: the clown got massively bored and tried to date a human"
FL: "You don't know how I waited... for the one day a month that we could be together..."
Me: "yeah... the one day a month that you two could be together, WITHOUT him keeping *the friggin dog* ALSO nearby"
(like seriously, while I know she should've grown a pair and told him about her phobia, it's not like she knew he was interpreting her fear of the dog and her discomfort with the butler and her bitterness at their acquaintances as a dislike for *himself*... how could he miss the fearful looks she kept throwing the dog, and the butler, and the acquaintances?? Or did he know and is just taking it personally, playing victim that "she apparently didn't love him deep enough to be able to endure all that" crap, or sth??)
Hehe imagine being rescued 'princess carry' style at the last sec, and it's by your fav idol EVER, hahahah the mustache old man's gonna become a Johan stan, Let the fanclub commence
Not saying Nephthys is free of guilt in it, but... even though she could have easily backed her argument by bringing up Seth's role in causing kid Anubis' suicide, she spared Seth that one very sordid detail that she knows (because her "lobotimized" version had found it out) and which Seth is still pretty much unaware of: how his mistreatment of kid Anubis had caused kid Anubis to even commit suicide once, due to Seth's horrible mistreatment of him (it was revealed at the end of chapter 18, described in more detail in chapter 19, and shown in a flashback within flashback mid chapter 60).
Nephthys, you finally called Seth out on that awful shit he did in chapter 5, I'm so happy. I spent years calling you the worst mother in existence, and now both you and the author have finally put that topic to rest, giving it proper resolution and closure. I'm so happy I could cry... Motherhood is FINALLY vindicated. Kudos to all good mama bears in the world, who strive to look after their kids! Mamas are HOLY!
I don't care if they beat you, blondie, you're a hero no matter what anyone says! (Just, um... please tell me you ALERTED THE POLICE before this... ... please) ┗( T﹏T )┛
This has already been updated till chapter 30 in other english scan sites. But anyway, I guess I'll just put a spoiler warning all the same, just to be safe. According to what we learn up till chapter 30, it seems that...

SPOILER WARNING ................
........................................
In the past, after Zachary (Bella's only conractor) betrayed and killed Bella, he then killed himself some time afterwards, a while after becoming the first emperor. But that is a secret only the royal family knows. There's a possibility that the silver-haired holy knight that now escorts Bella as the "saint's" guardian (the younger brother of current black haired crown prince) is Zachary's reincarnation (they've said in the story that Zachary has been reincarnated).
Also, in the past, when Zachary killed Bella, the long black haired dude, Ethan, also died, trying to save her, because the original saint blondie girl had sent him to try to help and save Bella from Zachary. But Zachary killed him. His death left the original saint blondie alone and pregnant with his kid, so the original saint lived the rest of her life hating Zachary until his death, and her child was the human Isabela's ancestor.
The original saint had also left behind a diary, that nobody has been able to read until now, because it's written in old divine language, but our current Bella finds it and it turns out she can read it. This diary has entries describing how in the past Zachary had been acting weird prior to killing Bella, and how he'd been talking to thin air and mentioning something about some "plan". The last entry in this diary that had belonged to the original saint was a message to Bella herself, as if she had known the future Bella would find it, where she told future Bella that none of what had happened in the past had been Bella's fault (in chap 31 we'll see if there was any more, along with that, in that one message).
So.... based an all this, anyone else getting the feeling that reborn Zachary's gonna be the ML?
Lol just peeked at this again, just the latest chapter, chapter 66 (after dropping it bc of all the dark spoiler warnings about the novel version), but this was honestly really cute. It's like he's not just in it for the sexual aspect, he's kinda inlove, and it shows (kudos to the artist of this) so maybe he won't be as bad as in the novel? Hopefully?
My original post before I read chapter 30 + Post chapter 30's updated edit
BEGIN OF ORIGINAL POST (before chap. 30)
I don't even need to look for any spoilers to know what we will see on the next chapter (which will be chapter 30) based on the glimpses to their past that we've had so far: I can bet right here and now that what we'll get in the next chapter is the truth behind that glimpse of a flashback, the full scenario of that glimpse we've already seen, of an unspecified incident in their past, when there were servants seen going out of the house, in order to go look for her, while she was seen out in the rain, and then his dog had come at her, making her panic (reviving the trauma of her mother's death) and all her husband had said was, "well done," to the DOG... (not even noticing how she was absolutely terrified... did he ever even bother to find out the reason for her fear of animals coming at her? How it had to do with the trauma from when one of such animals had come at her and her mother, and accidentally *killed* her mother, right in front of her, back in her childhood?? Moreover: did he ever have any clue she had a deep-rooted fearful trauma about being approached by animals, if they did it all of a sudden?)
So yep, I can already predict it... I can bet that's what we'll see in the next chapter, with the rest of this flashback: how she ended up getting lost while on her way back to the house (after that walk along the path at the back of their estate) that day, and how the servants and he himself had ended up going out after her, too, later on, in order to go in search for her, and how this dude finally sent his dog after her trail, in order to find her, how it started to rain, and how when they followed the dog and finally found her, the dog came right at her, causing her to go into panic mode, but this azzwipe only thought she was overreacting, and he congratulated the dog for "doing a good job" in finding her... never realizing that the darn animal he kept beside him at all friggin times was the VERY reason she couldn't stop trembling whenever she saw him (since he was never separate from the darn creature, as if he couldn't take a single step WITHOUT taking the darn pet along, with him... How come you never noticed, azzwipe, how it was obviously the dog that she feared and disliked so much, and not necesarily YOU, you azz hole... how come in seven friggin years you never noticed that?? Or never realized the reason for your wife's trauma, or even a single darn thing about any of that?? Are you really THAT stupid???)
END OF ORIGINAL POST (before chap. 30)
EDIT: Now that chapter 30 is out, even if I was kinda right in my prediction, I can say I am a wee bit less mad now that I know he had a good excuse to send the dog after her (there were hunters in the area, so yeah "woman lost in the woods + hunters = an accident waiting to happen"), but still, that doesn't excuse killing her father, bro... even if they always ended up misunderstanding each other because neither of the two ever explained crap properly to each other... that only makes it WORSE how, instead of trying to talk any of it out with her properly, he went and got "revenge" at her by killing her father like he did... so no, this still doesn't excuse a darn thing...
Talk about parental neglect... No matter how much the parents and adults in this story finally get to sit down and *talk*, now... what a terrible track record they already have: here they are, barely confessing "secrets" that are more than 20 years old... without a clue that their "daughter" may have already been "replaced" by another person, in front of their very eyes...
Lol her face when he was explaining entropy hahahahahhah so relatable (that's me whenever I try to understand astrophysics). This chapter was hilarious because when the FL thought that Nia "seems to love yapping on and on" I was reminded of how I'd read, not long before in TV tropes, that Nia's "true self" has a reputation for inflicting 17-minute-long speeches on his poor human victims... (so much so that one no longer knows whether you should feel sorrier for them because of this, than for what this "evil god" dude allegedly actually DOES to them...) He loves his torture of the 'less evolved' by incessant monologuing, this dude. ROFL
Still like it, but now want to see the ML get his head out of his arse. The unsolicited touching almost made her fall down a cliff in this chapter, bc she unwittingly stepped backwards trying to avoid it...
Dude, this is getting ridiculous. You've seen her reactions, so either pull her away from the cliff behorehand or keep your paws to yourself altogether.
...And PLEASE tone down on the casually prejudiced, over the top, condescendingly surprised constant comments: "Ooooh so, you're really not afraid of the dark?? I totally thought you would be!! (cause you - unlike my competent female subordinate, right here- definitely look like a wimpy girl who only looks pretty and never learned to wipe her own ass...)" After the 100000000000 time, it stops sounding like a (clumsy) attempt at a compliment, or even remotely funny...
He is a character from H. P. Lovecraft's famous horror stories, and specifically... he is...

(Johan, you're the only one who can talk right now, so, why didn't you warn her first... lmao, first with the crown prince and now this, you stink so BAD at being a brother-in-law)
So the evil shaman drains energy from people till it kills them... just like granny said in chapter 54.
