Can everyone have a bit of grace for MC? I don’t think she’s as dumb as everyone says she is, and I think the reactions are a bit excessive.
She’s probably super anxious about everything because she knows she’s supposed to killed but doesn’t know how, when (other than that it’s during her wedding night), everyone involved, or even the actual method. It’s obvious to us readers that the ML is not the killer, but she doesn’t get to see his inner thoughts or anything. We can read without worry but she literally has one chance to avoid being murdered by someone she might be falling for. She has to be careful ESPECIALLY because she’s dealing with a serial killer with no known motive. There’s countless real life of them looking perfectly normal on the surface but doing crazy gruesome stuff in private. The victims also don’t have a clear enough connection to push the evidence towards or against him being the killer, and she’s floated the idea of there being multiple perpetrators.
It’s also worth noting that the ML is not as blushing red outwardly, or at least not as often as we see. In the earlier chapters, we know that he’s flustered from all the compliments and stuff, but the MC shows no indication of it from her perspective. While we could say it’s confirmation bias, I think it’s more likely that the blushing is just an indicator to us about how he feels, especially because of what we see in her perspective and his reputation as a very cold person. I doubt there weren’t other people coming strongly onto him, and he’s not very strong against it.
Also, who says things like “your wrists are so thin, I could easily break them” or “seeing the men talk to you makes me want to kill them” (not exact, around Ch 40)? That’s such red flag behavior, AND she’s hearing it during a serial killer investigation. He does it every time she starts warming up to him. I’d be afraid too!
TLDR: MC is doing her best and it’s a good job imo. She literally has little to no connections and also no advanced forensic tools or camera footage to use

I feel like it’s especially harder to fall in love with him bc the crime is serial murder. Ik some people are like, she can’t always think he’s the killer just bc of a single line in the synopsis, but she’s literally a stepping stone for the novel main characters to fall in love. It looks clear to me that our ML is not the novel ML. She has no reason not to suspect that there might not be some hidden trauma, some second personality, etc. That makes him commit crime, even without remembering, because it’s so common in this kind of writing.
Because the death is on her wedding night and that the original MC never met with ML until then, she knows that her cause of death most likely is tied completely to the marriage itself, something she has no ability to change. Even if she gains more social power and can annul it with her wish, the serial killer might not be ML and instead someone taking advantage of the event to sneak in and kill her. It might not even be the actual serial killer but someone pretending to be them. She’s working with 3 crumbs of information, all of which might be wrong

I don’t blame her for not noticing the flowers and stuff. Like from what it sounds like, no one would have even considered checking them when the father was poisoned despite being from a household renown for their poisons or smth + having that shadow guild or whatever. It probably was that the flower was too unknown / a secret creation of the church. Also I could see them overlooking it because of being nobles and just being too used to seeing them
but Shouldn’t she have had at least one person following her? Though maybe we’ll see Rube come in handy or maybe a ghost will tell Arsian somehow (he can’t see as well as Camilla tho) or smth. Otherwise this would be uncharacteristically careless

In another story, Elani would be totally right. Fortunately for everyone, Evan is just a silly sweet guy lol

Well, I wouldn't say trash, but he kidnaps one of her employees as well as her brother to emotionally blackmail her so that she doesn't disappear through the teleportation scroll.Her brother was even prepared to sacrifice his life so that Laria could escape. Of course she didn't want to .So it depends on how bad you think it is. But the plot twist that follows is really crazy, so I would recommend continuing to read the manhwa. And hes still a cutie ... with a few mistakes-
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Also, how did he treat them? Did he like keep them in the basement kind of hostages, or kidnapped them, gave them a room and actually kind of took care of them situation? You can also tell me the plot twist. Tbh, I prefer to know these kinds of things so I don’t waste my time and emotions reading smth that will just infuriate me in the end

If I remember correctly the employee had to go to the hospital after the trial where he gave him a truth serum, and he didn't do anything to his brother except tie him up. The plot twist is that he had already reawakened her, and the world had already been destroyed. Her knowledge of the "novel" is incorrect, that was the deal he made with Neo, he wanted ml to suffer. So in return for Laria being reawakened, he gives her false knowledge and causes Them suffering. To which Ml had agreed. So that laria could be happy (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ ngl I need such a men in my life
It’s so refreshing to see one that treats all his children with love and doesn’t blame them for things outside of their control
The emperor is super annoying though. He immediately went for the method most traumatizing and dangerous to Shuellina, even though she obviously doesn’t feel safe or like him
