First, lemme tell you that Skelly’s dad and butler did not give me the bad vibes——strict, overprotective and smothering maybe but as we can see, his dad said not to force Skelly to go home and let him come in his own accord. No parent is perfect but it seems Skelly’s dad is making the effort to respect Skelly’s wishes—so, no I don’t see him as a villain. Same with the butler, he has that mentality of old people who thinks just because they know what’s best that it is the right thing to do on behalf of another person—that being the case he wasn’t forceful too to the point that he HAS to fulfill his mission. When he failed, he did not attempt any “rescue” after.
Who I think is the villain here, like really, is the goblin professor. I haven’t read in advance yet so this is just pure speculation. Why I think so is due to numerous red flags: 1) her creepy smile in like her first-second appearance upon discovering Nabi. There is definitely something off with the way she was drawn; 2)Her reason why she’s invested in Nabi and her contempt with the cat doctor for his ethical ways which means she is the type to do “anything” just to fulfill her desires; 3)her external persona is wholly different to her true self, she lacks compassion compared to the professor she’s projecting in television, hiding her selfishness, AND taking advantage of donations to further her own personal agenda
NOW FOR THE SPOILER:
I kinda took a peek in the last chapter which is 128 in raws and this is why I know Skelly’s dad is not the villain because
1) He did not kill Nabi
2) He indulged Nabi (she braided his hair while Skelly and the butler looked on—aw, what a grandpa)
3) And I think the relationship between Skelly and his dad was fixed because he visits his dad once in a while with Nabi
Additionally,
4) Nabi did not return to the human world. Her current age as of 128 is that of a 3-5 years old. Skelly became a human dad y’all
5) Skelly’s dad is the demon king
Thankyou for the spoiler! Can you please share me the link to the raw ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
I FORGOT ABT THAT PROFESSOR LADY PLS
thank you!!!!
can I have the raws?
Same HEREEEEE plssss
Thank youuu (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I did not like that Athy was the first to apologize. Personally, it would have been a great character development if Jeannette initiated the apology. Why do I think so? For one, it would show that Jeannette had graduated from her self-absorption-aka-pity party and be “graceful” enough to show that she “understands” why Athy kept the secret.
J: Your highness, I requested an audience with you today because I would like to say I am sorry. I apologize for my ignorance. I had been thinking and when I looked back to the days when you kept me in a distance, I thought it might have been awkward to you. That I, a daughter of his majesty’s brother, a rival to the throne, is being close to you. I understand now that you might have been troubled of my attentions. I don’t blame you for keeping the truth of my birthright. The truth is I also wished I had never known.
J: (inwardly) I much prefer the fantasy of you as my family rather than us being in opposite sides
A: No, Jeannette, I should be the one apologizing. We are friends and as a friend, I should have told you who you are but in my selfishness, I didn’t. I am sorry.
J: I do not blame you for your selfishness. I would be selfish too if I had his majesty’s affections. (Thoughts: I’ve been craving for a family for so long I would definitely hold on to them tightly)
J: Despite all that happened, I assure you, your highness, that I will support you. You are the empire’s greatest princess and I will be happy to be by your side. I do not dare to dream of something more.
Ha! Jeannette could never be this mature though. And Jeannette lowkey wants to be a princess anyway so no way will she ever utter such “humble” words.
Second, I don’t believe Athy feeling jealous is a sin. I believe she deserves to monopolize her dad’s affection or anyone’s affection in the palace. For me, it is reasonable to not want someone taking away your family’s love. It is dumb to sacrifice your own happiness just so somebody can have a share.
i am a fan of this quote which I read from “To Be A Virtuous Wife”, “Mercy to one’s enemy is a cruelty to yourself.” Above all else, do not be cruel to yourself. We are taught to not expect anything in return, therefore, if you are going to sacrifice one thing, do it for yourself, not for others.
If there is someone Athy should apologize to, it is to herself. As she said in the latest chapter, she is a coward, but not in a way she stated. For me, she is a coward not because she is afraid to lose her family’s affection but because she didn’t own it up to herself. That she deserves to have all those overwhelming love from her family. That the love is hers and hers alone and it.will.not.disappear. because they love the Athy they have interacted with every day. And whether or not she believes she is the real Athy, to them, she IS.
——
Now, that I’m thinking about it, this chapter would have been better if they’ve cut it into two or maybe show two settings where Athy was by herself and then her with Jeannette.
The first should be like a monologue of owning the love she’s being showered. Then, the next scene is Jeannette apologizing first.
Oh well, only in my dreams.
Goddamit it Claude wake up already!
Hah. This is just the version of jetty in your head. Do you know how OLD she is in this manhwa? Do you know that rome isnt built in a day? In a chapter? Growth takes time. And humans makes mistakes as they go. You and HER is quite literally different to even say such things. Like dooood- shes just fourteen years old yearning for a family. For love. And for your information, do understand that children will GROW just how children in her age will grow. Both mentally and physically.
If you cant be patient with her growth development, then pause on that and read it later when she grows as a human. You cant literally expect someone to grow so quickly.
And to be honest, Athy was not deceiving but Jeannette was. Jeannette approached the princess with the intention to be part of her family. I don't even recall Athy lying to her. She was "nice" to that threat all along.
Me: (silently remembering the entire season 2 and Jeannette’s screen time) oooh ok, I guess we’ll have to wait for her to literally be 18 y/o oh, wait, maybe 20 y/o, that’s old enough, right? Yeah, let’s just forget how the artist wasted chapters of Jeanette cuz she was just there to show how young and naive she is. Not like how supposedly when you put a lot of screen time for a character there is some sort of change to happen, like a ChArAcTeR aRc or something or else it would be -gasp- a filler!
Me (to Me): why are you so frustrated? Athy’s the MC not Jeannette. Athy’s character development matters, forget the extras. If an author/artist wastes a character’s potential, why do you care?
Yeah, why bother. Let’s just forget me wanting some sort of culminating chapter where the countless chapters of Jeannette starring show why the artist put her at the center. Because wtf is her purpose for being drawn so frequently?
Me (to Me): ahem, 1) to reveal the villain, 2)as a foil for Athy? 3)filler = more chapters = more views = more money
╮(￣▽￣)╭
totally agree with this post ლ(´ڡ`ლ) Athy has all the right to get jealous and have all the love for herself!
I don’t ship Roxanna with anyone (yet). If she ends up with no one that would be cool too! In addition, I like Dion’s short hair rather than the long one tbh and I’m not really bothered by the “potential” incest cuz Roxanna seems to be the one in control of (any) relationship and I don’t think she’ll fall for Dion.
Regardless of incest or not, I really like Dion’s character. He is the type of character I’d love to read because of his fucked up mind. I know in real life I will definitely stay far away from this type of person, heck, I will do my all to never even pique a sliver of interest from them. It’s fun to read about this kind of evil person being “chained” by someone though. And, that’s Dion’s greatest charm (for me).
That wild, lethal beast behaving only because its trainer is present but will no doubt pounce on you when boundaries are down, its trainer absent and it is very, very hungry (for some blood).
Oh, maybe “epilogue” chapters are titled this way because they are the final chapters for season 1? After this, the team might have a rest period before season 2 starts.
and yet most parts scenes are coming from Jeanette. Fuck you Jeanette and fuck the artist and story writer who keep on spooning us Jeanette parts. I hate her. There are people who are cutely naive that you can almost forgive them for their ignorance and clumsiness but Jeanette—gawd! Her little monologue on being the “sister” and being hurt at Athy because she didn’t share the things Athy had the right to keep because objectively, who is Jeanette anyway? She ain’t family.
I stayed away for months so I can see some progress but god almighty, I wasted two chapters reading about Jeanette and her thoughts and her lack of awareness AND HER PRETENTIOUS INNOCENCE.
I am starting to hate this webtoon.
Yes, i couldnt contain this unpleasant feeling toward jeanette's character as well. But also she should be protected from that situation cause she is just being used. She is also a victim of hee foolish parents.
To be honest, I am surprised Daniel’s first appearance is so lowkey? I’m a bit disappointed but I am looking forward to his actual meeting with Libertia so I can see what he looks like in Libertia’s rosy-colored lenses. BUT, his eyes are hot though, like when he said, “she had an allure” (lol, I forgot the actual phrase), that panel was whooooaaaaa boi, ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Seems the artist noticed this too, because his next appearance is MUCH improved. I still think Eugene is prettier, but second-appearance Daniel CAN get it.
is daniel evil?
No, not evil but just had a villainous role in the previous life.
ohh so he rebirth again?
God, the art is so so effing good! The tragedy hits so so so deep with all those shadows and those expressions and the movement. It’s like an anime—an on-paused anime. The tandem of the artist and the writer is chef’s kiss. AHHH! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
OMG! The freakin priest burned her in flames!!!! (Hellfire song from Disney plays in the background)
Be his or she will burn?!
The last life’s end is finally unfolding! This is gonna be so so sad because we’re gonna see the kids’ reaction when their stepmom won’t come. ╥﹏╥
A Zen’in acknowledging Toji’s strength, going as far as to mock his fellow clan members by saying, “the sin of a small fry is not understanding true strength”. Which he also implied that of course he is not a small fry cuz he knows Toji’s strength. Still, Naoya falls short because his misogynistic view blinded him from recognizing Maki’s strength. That punch should be a reality check.
