Am I the only person extremely confused?? What did she wake up from like was she in a coma or something? Why would all her family die from the rise of the new emperor?why does she act like she's hearing some info for the first time I thought she already read the book. If anyone could give a quick summary of what's happening I'd really appreciate it
Taking the fl out of the equation (I no longer hate her, just some dislike) for some reason I feel like this is dragging already, and we're only thirty chapters in. I feel like it's a chore reading updates. Maybe it cuz I know it will take way too long for him to meet any actual challenges or bc the mc has a lukewarm personality. It doesn't bring anything new to the table. And I know it'll end with him facing the demigod but it seems too tedious to wait for so long. Has anyone read the raws or have any interesting spoilers that might keep me on board? Nothing too revealing tho.
I'm sorry but why is she running away??? Like what's with all this unnecessary drama can she not communicate like a normal person?? Don't run away in a freaking storm for no reason and them incite a whole new can of drama seriously
well i think it's bcs she can't see everything clearly, she think that orpheus like his cousin and make plan so that they can be together but in the end it just misundesrtanding (well i think it's his fault to not clear everything right away) and he said that he want everything go back to normal .. she can't accept it right away and want to consult with claude so she ran away to him to clear her mind
and in my opinion she felt guilty after what have she's done to everyone, hurting diana,acted like a bitch, and annoy the servant in that house and after all of that, she knew that what she do is wrong and orpheus also knew about why she acted like that so basically it acceptable that she running away... even i was in her shoes i will run away too lol
Honestly I get the hate for Adelaide she took it too far but in a sense it is sort of justifiable. It depends on how you look at it. She just wanted to confirm there were equally strong feelings between them. But she went overboard.
The thing a hate the most about these romances is when their like "I don't deserve you", "be mine" (usually males) "let me be yours" (usually females) or "stay by my side" (male again).
Why does it have to be one person is below the other? Why does it always seem that one party is madly in love while the other is somewhat of an observer?
Lol if she wanted to make sure his feelings were genuine there was no need to play such games. Just be direct instead of making things overly complex.
Yeah she's a selfish character but there's a line between selfishness and meanness.
Tdlr: there was no need for him to think "I don't deserve you"
This was what I was saying! I understand wanting him to propose grandiosely and wanting him to be direct but it would have been less painful (because her sudden disappearance no doubt freaked this man the hell out) if she had just opened her mouth and said it. The Duke was clearly almost at the end of healing some of his trust issues, there was no need to push that hard.
Um I'm pretty sure there's several better ways to avoid what would happen. Firstly she should just mention it to her father. If he's so smart and was able to build up the family so much he shouldn't be stupid and he'll get the gist. Then they can just make some businesses and properties fail and reduce their influence. Secondly, they don't seem to have much military influence so the royal family could just take measures to make sure they never get it, hence dissolving the risk. Even if they can't do that they just need her to marry into the royal family and they'd have control over their power. Basically there's too many alternatives for her to justify her behaviour.
Thinking about you make a really good point. But it may just be that her father just really trusts people, which is plausible but still really unlikely or it could just be the our mc may just be on the a bit dumber side which is a bit more belivable to me but who knows? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I guess... But I feel like it's more of a plot hole than anything. If she was smart enough to confer what would happen she should be smart enough to know a step further. And I don't see how it's possible for someone to be so successful (her father) while being so naively trusting.
Ikr but who really knows. It's manga logic, and plus if she didn't do this we wouldn't have the same story we are reading right now.
At least our mc is nice in where she would fall into ruin for her family.
Though the way she wanted to help her family could have been better, it's the thought that counts I guess?
Real i dont think what shes doing is for the best she can just tell her dad and everything or i think they can just live peacefully like they are now with the money they got(〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
IKR she is just frustratingly dumb
sorry meant to like. my finger slipped
I do not agree
1. If Mary marries in the royal family then her family's power will increase, not stabilised or decreased, and they will still be considered a threat to the royals
2. How can they make their business fail without arousing any suspicion.. and they r talking about INFLUENCE and POWER, not MONEY.. failing business will incur them loss of money but not loss of influence
3. Her father as she already said trusts people blindly
4. Yeah she can tell her father but as I already said in point 3, u can't just reduce ur business and solve the matter .. reducing ones power is up to the royal family, and in that case it might lead to execution or assassination or getting framed falsely, if the royals see them as THREAT to monarchy
I don't want Mary to fall in ruin but u can't call her dumb.. she is taking the fall coz she want to avoid the messy scenario in which the royals themselves get involved !
You have very good points, but...
1. Her father doesn't seem to think very highly of her, to put it nicely: "I had my hopes up that he would kindly take you in, though". To me it seems that he is not a overly kind father who spoiled his daughter, but one who has given up on her entirely. So he most likely wouldn't listen to her.
2. Looking back it always seems obvious. So it's not a matter of our MC being secretly a genius, but someone who already knows the outcome "reverse engineering" the motives behind the things that happened in the game. I'm not saying she is dumb. Just that, like we've seen from her actions so far, she is a bit delusional.
Which brings me to my third point:
3. They are discussing her fall as if it's something that is going to happen. It's not. And most certainly not like it did in the game. So far, both the Prince and the original MC don't have any reason to go against her.
Actually, they might team up to protect her from any harm from the royal family and the nobles, since they both are very thankful for her helping them get together.
Now what?
1. Her plan is about to fail and both the King and the nobles are still after their neck. But she has the Crown Prince's support.
2. She will achieve her goal of diminishing her house's power by marrying a commoner - her butler, obviously.
About her father specifically:
On my personal experience, great businessmen tend to pride themselves on being good judges of character - btw, how can her father be great at business and trust people blindly at the same time? It doesn't make any sense. Maybe our MC just don't want to see that it's her he doesn't care about enough to even TRY to "fix" her. But I digress.
My point is, if he got this far, he either:
1. Has a plan to get out of this situation (but originally didn't have to use it)
2. Actually wants the the throne
And also prideful people also don't like to listen to people telling them they are wrong. So I think he wouldn't listen to her anyway. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
You have some good points. I think most of the issues lie with the father's characterization. I don't think you can be both prideful and naively trusting at the same time while being a successful business man unless he is a puppet for someone else. Frankly I think it's a plot hole from the game or the actual writer because he should have known what's happening and take precautions.
And if he wants the throne then he's doing a very bad job about it. And I still believe there's several ways for her to prevent this without acting rashly. As someone said before she could marry someone of very low influence and thus drag the family down with her. But again if she is only going off what she knows from the game, and of she isn't very bright then I guess she sees this as her only option.
But I think there's too many 'what ifs' and assumptions to really justify the plot line
True.
But at least the plot holes involving the MC can be waved off due to the fact that this is a comedy and the joke is her obliviousness. So it can be expected that her plan will be trash and that she will not see the obvious solution to the problem even if it's right in front of her.
Her father on the other hand seems to be a case of bad writing. Like I said, the only explanation I can think of is that the MC misunderstood everything. That he was actually working for the King or something, that the nobles that deceived her father were actually being deceived, or that her father does have a plan. But most likely it's just a plot hole.

I just realized that I commented as a reply to another reply instead of replying to the original post. ( ̄∇ ̄") My bad!
Lol no problem. But you're right the father wasn't written well but I guess the manga is about her and not him thus it can be excused.
I don't really mind though, unless it ends up giving her a bittersweet ending, then I'll be pissed
You.re thinking outside of the box, but the starting pointis that she has reasons to believe some things can't be change and part of the world paradigm can.t be altered : if she can't change her hair curls, obviously she can't expect to change her dad
How much she's right or wrong is probably somewhere in the middle, we know she does change some perceptions, but the timeline really seems to stick
This world is interesting because it's rules are way stricter than many
But it doesn't provide for a cute story
