I feel like i went through 150 chapters in the span of like 30 what the hell is going on so much shit that wasnt addressed and the novel is called escape the ogML but hes gone like immediately I feel catfished. Also I thought a big thing in this genre was watching the come-up of the FL but we get a decade time skip and shes rich and famous already

I know the point of this genre is the have the mc as happy as possible but does beaty really need to get the title as duchess?? I assume the author wants it to be like "Karl loves his sister so much he'll give up his title for her" but its like?? pls let me know if im just a hater

You’re just a hater. Most of these stories don’t have that in that plot, so why do u care when one of them does? Also, she suits that position far more than he does. Like be fr, he doesn’t care about anyone besides her and anything but fighting, how is that a suitable leader? Someone who cares about their people and territory, and had as many achievements as she does, is far more suitable. Leaders should be chosen based on skills and characteristics, not age or gender.

Birthright he decided to give up and clearly didn’t care too much for. Do u think leaders are better chosen by age or skills? Even after he was trained, he didn’t care about anyone other than her. He also didn’t seem to care about politics and such either, he clearly suits being a knight more (and seems to like it more). She wasn’t trained for it and still achieved more than him, not to mention she genuinely cares about people and their issues. So, who suits leader position more? So, how would it be better to give it to him? “Birthright” is such a stupid argument, especially when someone already gave it up.
Also, is she getting married yet? It’s not like she plans to be the princess, she received her title first. I’m sure she can also handle both, just like Tia (from “I’ll be the matriarch in this life”) does.

Also, sorry but this really is just being a hater. If you have like 10+ stories where brothers always succeed (even if they are less suitable for it), you pick one that doesn’t and complain about it? Especially with no actual argument besides it being his “birthright”? Sorry, that’s not a very valid criticism.

Is it weird to say I don't think the empress had suffered enough yet?
Like I don't think she really understands the horrors of an 8yo girl working 24/7 to take care of her drunken mother who literally abuses her.
+ she still loves her mother to her very core and is centering her worth based on how well she can provide for her mother while seeing their poverty as her own fault Its not enough for her to cry remembering shit that happens in the future I want her to repent for what shes already done

i think her way of repenting is trying to secure the “best” future for lyrica as much as possible. it’s not enough though and clearly she needs to repent in an emotional way as well, not just materialistically. i think as she unravels her previous errors, it’ll hit her harder and i hope she’ll put the real work into healing and healing her daughter

I also thought that it wasn't enough before but after now knowing that Lyrica was the one that turned back time, I think its enough. Because she was already sad and grieving for the Lyrica of the past-future who she knew loved her until the end. That's why the empress has been trying to attone for it by securing the best future for the present-Lyrica right? And now I think there's the realization that the oh so lovable Lyrica is so much more than that, that Lyrica loved her so much she turned back time for the empress (as undeserving of it as she is), I think the grief and sadness of that realization doubled and will forever hang in her conscience. Because how can you ever repay that? And she can't even say anything to the present-Lyrica because she will be forgiven and I think the empress knows she doesn't deserve that kind of kindess. Nothing she does now will never make it up to the past-future Lyrica (who she cannot even say sorry and I love you to) and the present Lyrica doesn't deserve that kind of baggage to live with.

"forever hang in her conscience". thats all I need.
so she could never forget everything she did to her own daughter.
but, in the end, Lyrica who is wronged one, forgave her mother. in the past and the present.
and its not the result of emotional manipulation or grooming, but its Lyricas nature for being kind.

I could only make it to chapter 25 because this honest to god makes no damn sense.
Why have her reborn only to do the same exact thing and just have her mom die and uncle adopt her anyway? also what changed in this future that made Leah tell Louise to find her father??
Im like genuinely pissed off. It says that the duke sent leah away while he did some like struggle for the title or something- and that he was going to win for 'his love'. Okay. He Won. SO WHY WOULD HE MARRY SOMEONE ELSE? AND AFTER 8 YEARS AT THAT?
and the plot point that "oh she didnt respond to his letters :c" makes no damn sense because personally if i sent someone to live with my brother... hmm... I think i'd check up on both of them once in EIGHT YEARS??? and most likely after the period of time i promised said person i would return for them.
leah... girl... you make no sense. you knew you and your child were ostracized and struggling for so long and you wait until your death bed to think "i think its time to go see him". how were you expecting louise to get there??? she has no friends and no money. even the dude benjamin proved to you that he had unsavory motives to help yall??? plus you had the necklace that would allow you to see him in person this whole time if it were dire.

Okay honestly everything ur saying is valid af except for one part, from what I remembered the reason he was marrying the duchess was to strengthen his family again cus yk he was in a coma for a good few years, dude was planning on strengthening the family, leaving it to his stepson and living a relaxed life with leah cus yk she's a commoner and no one would be able to oppose him and to achieve this they had a contract marriage (what if Leah wanted her kids to take that position is also a very valid question). Dudes kind of dumb but he did have a plan.

Okay but is it mentioned that he ever TOLD Leah his plan? I got to chapter 30 and I'm about to drop because of the MC. But so far it's only mentioned that he sent letters (which Leah never got but he didn't know that). I mean, I would still hold his plan against him because that's the sort of convo you have in person, not in a letter but did he at least try talking to her about it or did he decide this all on his own AGAIN, without getting her input?
ty for the uploads but i really cant understand the translation of the recent chapters, also its hard to stay calm when everytime i smile at the cuteness or gay longing im like "damn these are children"
usually in age-gap media its a middle aged person calling a young adult 'this kid' but in natori's case shes deadass cradle robbing
Fr kinda hard to forget the crazy age gap between the MC and Female leads
