you never make time for her. When she asked you favors like accompanying her to a ball and you always refused. When she asks about how she looks, you treat her coldly... remind me again if that is love. Honestly unbelievable male lead. I just wish the female mc moves on or actually dies so this bastard can feel extreme regret and guilty until his death.
Everything happened so fast that it’s so messy and annoying. First, yes he learned about each item having superpowers but wasn’t really touched on even after seemingly producing so much books... in a short time or at least it seems so with how each segment is not too far from each other. He worked on the game story then worked on another company’s wizard book then worked on two contest pieces while also working with the og company. Like the author could have stretched how it went for each series and how the items helped him. For example, how exactly is the laptop helping him type faster? Like not eveything in the mind is great or completed. I just find it bs that he somehow produce perfect books from his mind (that we don’t even get to understand or see).
Also, if he’s been producing books left and right in a short time, isn’t it very suspicious. The first few chapters kinda showed the doubts. Also as an author, doesn’t he feel shame on relying on the items too much. I found it shameless of him to enter a contest while using the items (at least assumingly since we weren’t shown the leading events to them except for a flashback). All we got was a sob story instead of those developments. At this point I don’t see much difference between the mc and the other guy except for their attitudes. They rely too much on outside help and doesn’t really grow independently...
This Is the sad truth. What if the items break, something is already going on with the mug. He needs to learn and not rely on the items so much, hes exactly like the other dude since he's not using his own talents. If he doesn't learn how to actually write and produce quality books on his own then he's finished.
Actually, I don’t think he’s not learning something. For what I could understand, the previous author is teaching him the methods, but not really getting to much into it, bc as he said “It’s not my Novel anyways, do whatever u want” so is not like he’s not learning anything. The only problem that could occur with some of the items is; not reading that fast or getting ur fatigue going away that easily.
I really don’t like ml’s like the baron. He’s creepy and too mysterious(?). The way he talks is just so unsettling. Like how can you guys just like him? Is it the face? Or what?
Spoiler since you are hating my Daniel :<
Read in your own risk.

Daniel is not a bad guy, okay :>
Daniel's mother is a fairy. Yup, fairy. Fairy like a fairy in Cinderalla since this story is related to Cinderella.
Pevious Mildred, before her death, wishes in depair, like very very very desperate that her three daughters can be happily married (Previous Mildred is death, now we have Now Mildred).
Fairies are sensitive to despair, and Daniel has to check out Mildred's residence to figure out the cause for the despair, which is why he is interested in the house. He is not money-hungry that wants to take a fallen noble house.
Like, you dont need spoiler to understand that he himself has enough money. I mean, Queen Dowager as his godmother and also he is one of richest person in the country. How could you misunderstand him, he is such a sweet guy ><
I’m not strictly hating on Daniel. I’m just saying that I don’t like that kind of male lead archetype. I don’t like male leads who’s creepy like him. Another that I can think of is Asher from Reverse Hourglass. He’s really creepy when he kept leaving the flowers in Aria’s room every night when Aria was unconscious because of “poisoning.” I read the novel, and all I can say is he’s kinda lovable but he’s definitely creepy.
Going back to Daniel, whenever I see a panel of him, I get the same vibes and it’s unsettling to know that he’s the male lead. Like why?! I don’t care if he’s a fairy or if he’s rich or great and all but he’s creepy as hell.
Chapter 38: mc acts like she had some plan while meeting with the baron Oseh who claims to be her father. But when they met, she didn’t even brought her staff for protection and had to be saved by Petunia (just a way to show progression with her I guess, but felt forced).
Chapter 39-40: mc uses the lachets’ (hierophant and star) to learn about the details of paternity test. I understand that they skipped details about that but the description is way too simplified. Also, why exactly did they test it with the emperor? And what made them trust the result so easily when it’s newly created (especially since the kingdom/empire doesn’t really have a good relation with the edifice)?
Yeah, I don't know why they trust the result readily, but judging from the dialogue, it seems the emperor already suspected the consort to lie about the father and they may have discussed behind the scene to test it out.
