i js found this today and read everything in one sitting. i cried sm this should have a tradegy tag instead of a comedy one but its a masterpiece either way. i loved how every single side of being 'homeless' was shwon, especially juwan. i actually found his arguments very annoying at first, but when i thought about it, his life is the one most relatable to the everyday reader. i am so very grateful to have a good life and didnt experience the trauma other characters did, but i still argue with my mom over small things like that as well despite loving her very much. at least, that was my perspective of his story. anyways, all this to say i cried a ton but it was all worth it

idk if i just lacking in intellectual vitality or if theres plotholes in this story...like how does her cloak/face blur thing even work? can they see her expression and hair or not? and also the entire temple twin arc js does not make sense to me maybe it got lost in translation but oml im so confused. good story nonetheless im still gonna keep reading

I think its just a plothole cus ngl IDK EITHER!! but from speculation, I think its like a whole shadow in her face, cus cassel doesnt know her eye color nor hair, its mostly just him guessing. + How do they not find is suspicious, I mean you can still see the face of someone even if theyre wearing a cloak, but her cloak is an artifact, BUT WHY DO THEY NOT FIND IS SUSPI!!?!
The twin arc is basically
Nise revives tricolor by sucking the life force from other monsters, and his blood > revives liv after she gets killed by their father > a couple years or months later, they get adopted >the pope thinks Liv is the saint> shes actually just a revived dead body >she needs nise to survive basically

The hood completely obscures her features, but Cassel has an idea of who she is I think. He's also seen her without the hood and knows "that woman" as the pink haired lady who pretended to be his lover at the auction. Now she's run into him again without the hood in the latest chapter, using him to access the tournament as a "princess".
The twins are like this:
- Nise encounters the monster Tricolor and heals it, it's his friend.
- Nise and Liv are abused by their father, who learns that Nise can heal monsters with his blood. The father goes to take some blood to profit on his son's ability when Liv fights him to try and save him. Father accidentally slashes the back of Liv's neck, killing her. In a panic, Nise pours his healing blood on her, but with that not working he uses his divine power and sucks the life force out of his father, some other nearby humans that come running in and a bit from Tricolor and uses it to revive Liv. This makes Liv into basically a zombie. She is dependant on Nise to stay alive. He has to provide her with life force. He's been giving her monster life force to live since he noticed that Tricolor was effected by the drain of his power as well. When Liv's running out of life force she starts to decompose, or that's what's implied since it mentions a horrible smell.
- The Pope shows up, seemingly sensing that one of them has come back from the dead. He believes that means that person is the saintess. Liv mentions this, that the scar on the back of her neck is a stigmata now because she came back. Not sure why the Pope thinks that the saint will be someone who has come back from the dead, he seems to be wrong on that part since Nise never died and is the real saint. Anyways, because Nise used his blood on Liv to save her, I guess it is in her, but it is weakening. So she has his blood healing power for awhile and has been using it to masquerade as the saintess, but it's weakening throughout the story and now she can't heal at all. I'm not sure if Nise was giving her blood so she could heal too or if that was just from when she was revived.
- Nise meets Shari, his first friend.
- Nise resolves at some point to use Tricolor to devour himself so that Liv could then kill the monster and get his crystal thing, not sure on this tbh. There have been black ones that Nise called a "curse" that he fed to Tricolor, but his is supposed to be a white one that if Liv eats it she will become the true saintess. Like he'd be killing himself to pass on his powers to her. Someone told him that his power is able to flip fate and his takeaway from that is "My sister is so beautiful and amazing and I'm so pitiful, why wouldn't she have these powers? That's it, I must have flipped fates with her because I have this power. She died instead of me". And he's now trying to "set it back to how it should've been by killing himself and fully restoring Liv to proper living status and giving her his powers. Luckily Shari just talked him out of it.
And now you're waiting for more like the rest of us... (/TДT)/
ted talk time: okay i just pulled an all nighter rereading this bc i dropped it right before the final plot twist for some reason, i think it was the final misunderstanding that got me and i didnt know it would be over soon. but anyways im someone that absolutely despises miscommunication/misunderstandings and there were times i was extremely frustrated read this, but wow i was highkey so emotional at the end and the comedic parts were so well executed. and omfg cedric's falling in love moment and forgetting to breathe was SURREAL i can only pray to experience that one day. one of my ogs is the reason why raeliana ended up at the dukes mansion so i wasnt ultra blown away at the final plot twist, but i do have to say the previous haley (now katriana) finding her own happiness was so sweet to me. i loved how all the main characters were morally gray, even the grandpa duke, and everyone found their happiness through different routes. i feel like fated love is kinda a controversial topic in this era, but i found it to be well-developed in this story. they naturally found their way back to each other, despite appearances, despite the situation. and you cant tell me dillon and cedrics romance isnt well written like come on. the only bone i have to pick is that we really shouldve gotten a lengthier ending, or at least the side stories but i understand the different variables that factor in there. anways a solid 8.8/10 simply bc i dont really like miscommunication tropes, but great nontheless
