i actually like reina! it's understandable to be iffy about her because she's not katarina and is a damsel in distress right now. however, i'm more fascinated by the idea of katarina's ideals "reincarnating" into reina, much like how mc did (or more like transmigrated?) into the current lakan descendant. the mc is also not showing actual romantic inclinations towards her and more as residual care because she looks like katarina and is also embodying her ideals perfectly. if romance does bud between them, i can only hope it's done so convincingly. but for now, i'll choose not to focus on that subplot (if it does happen) and/or let it cook.
okay but seriously, i know mc is gonna get his revenge in the end but is he really just gonna let them be after almost killing him by tampering the device!?? ngl i couldnt even enjoy the luos empire fight with the giant because i felt so dissatisfied by the abrupt plot change. Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
