this story made lorena seem like a real genuinely threatening villlainess but to find out she’s just a bratty child being manipulated by her shitty mother and her shitty father enabling the emotional abuse and there’s actually a third guy that’s probably pulling all the strings from behind … it really kills any threatening aura lorena had near the start of the story. if anything, lorena is a victim to her environment, and there’s nothing id hate more if they forced a redemption arc for her because of that. but i also don’t think this story would be very enjoyable if they didn’t cause the main villain (for now until “that guy” shows up) is like. a 15 year old girl who has no other choice than to listen to her shitty mother. what’s her father gonna do? he’s enabling her! who wants to bet there’s a spirit infecting lorena and that’s why she was such a horrible person in the first timeline and second timeline. either way it’s bad cause if the mom is the reason she becomes a villain = mom is actually who the story should be treating as the main antagonist. but if there’s a bad spirit corrupting lorena’s heart then that just = she was a victim to otherworldly manipulation…. seriously what was the author thinking???? unless they’re gonna do a total rug pull and the mc realizes her sister was not actually the true evil…!! it was… “that guy”….!!! or: oh no…! it was actually her mom!!!! which won’t happen because the mc is always like “woe is me everyone is because of lorena and i won’t do any other critical thinking as to why lorena would do this to me!!” idk.
oh my god this author knows how to write men who piss you off. ive never been so annoyed with fictional men more than noah and eugene. FUCKING LEAVE HER ALONE
honestly it give the men from beware of the villainess
gives*
i feel so bad for ari honestly. she had no idea he had an ex wife and was still living with her. she was so emotional after finding it out. she wanted to marry mincheol and probably start a family, both of which that human dirt rag of a person is leading her on with, stringing her along with false hope. stand up ari don’t take his ass back
some of you guys r weird for trying to imply minho deserved allat
mystia is probably one of my least favourite otome isekai MCs lol she has almost no real personality except for being a doormat and easily manipulated. i guess the one thing i respect about her is unconditional kindness to the people around her even if they have wronged her. kill em with kindness i guess. also i need to know why everyone is a yandere though like did the game accidentally crank up the horror factor
Yeah, I guess the only good thing about her is being kind, but even that brought on the psychopaths and stalkers to her, and even those who wanted to kill her, yeah.....
you get me
Yeah, like she’s super bland, but it’s not like she deserves to be killed, abducted, abused, etc. especially when the trigger for any of those things happening is her being kind.
agree she doesn’t deserve any of it but anyone else would be more interesting as an mc than her
badly written first time scene. like why does it always involve the woman saying it hurts and then the guy just doesn't stop? authors need to be a little more creative and stop recycling this trope
i guess you are a virgin, ofc everyones experience is different but for many woman (including myself) it did hurt like a mf ┗( T﹏T )┛ even with enough forplay.
Bro the first time I had sex it hurt like hell and I couldn't breathe, I was so afraid of passing out while my partner was going at it because the pain was unbearable. I didn't even enjoy it the first time all I felt was pain not one bit of.pleasure.
not a virgin and it didnt hurt the first time. and if it did hurt my partner would immediately stop? there’s no excuse for them to keep going and too many authors try so hard to make it look hot when really they should’ve stopped when she stop the first time…
my point was not that the portrayal of their first time hurting being bad, that’s realistic and i know that. my point was that authors need to stop drawing the guy continuing to thrust as she’s in pain and when she’s already said to stop
Ah now i understand what you mean.
I didnt see this scene as hot but felt uncomfortable. i thought that was the autors intention. I guess your right. its a Smut webtoon , so i guess she meant it to be hot ┗( T﹏T )┛
i’m almost 99% sure the freesias don’t actually do shit it’s just coincidence and timing that the second ophelia takes out the red freesias, is when felix decides to act on his feelings, that’s why it looks like he’s brainwashed, but he rly just has bad timing.
evidence being him unwilling to sever his engagement with ophelia despite the freesias in the flower bed being red. you could chalk this up to him trying to fight the brainwashing but really i think he was just fighting the decision in his head as someone who will one day become emperor, so he’ll have to marry the holy maiden, or as the boy who’s in love with freesia. in the end he made his decision to be the boy who’s in love with freesia and the second he does, io planted the black freesias.
point two being felix being delighted to eat lunch of ophelia but his schedule is full. as the crown prince he also has to be responsible for the shrine maiden since she decided to still attend school. we even see him upset that he’s losing time with ophelia but that’s only seen after the red freesias are taken out again. we can imply however, that he felt that way even while the freesias were red. it just APPEARS that way so the shrine maiden can keep believing her fantasy, and in the end when it probably gets revealed that *shocker* felix has a will of his own and has remained in love with ophelia this whole time, only then will she realize that they are real people and not o just a capture target and villainess.
i see the freesia’s more as symbols of ophelia’s inner turmoil. the moment she starts to doubt felix, miss him, or feel threatened by the shrine maiden, she realizes the flowers are red. the flowers are always changing colours cause the shrine maiden genuinely believes the freesias are the game mechanics or believes there’s some sort of all powerful omnipotent power that the freesias have to bend the will of people’s romantic feelings for her and only her. i think this will lead to a dramatic build up where felix confesses he’s been in love with her the ENTIRE time and not once wavered. and while ophelia does see him as a real person, it’ll solidify their love and the shrine maiden will and never be a threat. that’s just a theory, a game theorrryyyyyyy
however i think the prince’s retainers were horribly written and their existence kinda proves my theory wrong and their shift in behaviour after the tea party incident was so badly written like at least show them look a little more guilty you know idk!
I can’t help but laugh at the ending you wrote lol
thanks
True, but I still hope your theory is right, it's actually so good
thank youuu and i pray every day that this is the actual end outcome
I fully agree but there was also the sentence from the prince "it felt like my body was controlled" or something...it seems like your theory would have been better but the author preferred a simpler setting
aw man i totally missed that, thanks for pointing that out. i was thinking if that was the case, its sort of the game worlds way of making the prince follow the original route bc the freesias are red. before mc became ophelia, ophelia was basically just an npc villainess, so it would be easier for the prince to fall in love with the shrine maiden. but bc she’s not, and is her own person and the prince fell for her, his mind is not swayed by the game, but his body is. haven’t read the new update yet though
It could actually be a possibility. His consciousness is trapped in his body due to the force of the game but not the MC's. Maybe his closeness to her made him "stronger"? Game compulsion works only under what circumstances though? Only in the presence of the OG heroine perhaps. Which would also explain why the characters where fine when only with her, especially her fiancee.
yesss this would make a lot more sense given how the story is going right now
i went from smiling like an idiot to being irrationally angry near the end of the chapter
You and me BOTH (︶︿︶)＝凸
this shit is so ass…
Nah fr….two chapters spent on fluff
