Everyone here just dishing out how neglectful the father was, when both her parents were being pretty selfish. The mother had a child and gave up her life without her partners input or consent. And the father we know sent her to a completely other world so he wouldn't be reminded of the beloved he lost. The only responsible thing he did was specifically deliver her to the beach where he knew a loving family would adopt her. I didn't care for how easily she seemed to accept her family forgetting her in our world. I would really like if the story revisited how stressful and traumatizing her situation is a: a child abducted from the world she new as home, a new genderless body which she feels dysphoric in because she lived 17 years as a woman and still identifies as one, and everyone forgets she went through the trauma of experiencing human trafficking.

Yeah, the story does not take much of this seriously and keeps it lighthearted and comical, but I think it would be effective it they let her feel her frustration and feelings. If they could give or show us how these experiences are causing her to act the way she did to cope, then I think her character can be saved and given some actual development. I am honestly here reading just to see Elemental Dad acknowledge her as his daughter. Clearly, despite never expecting or wanting a child, he had a preference for a son. It took him 17 years to face his child, that he basically put up for adoption or "left on a door step." And he didn't even check the gender, which means the preference was never going to be more important than the love he had for the mother, and gradually their child. He was not the kind of person who had prepared enough love in his heart for more than one beloved. But, I'm here for the development. I need to see them bond as a family. I'm wishing Elemental Dad sends her back out of guilt only to watch her from afar. Then, she actually chooses to come back after spending some quality time and saying her goodbyes. Realizing, she can travel between the worlds.
The only other event I'm waiting for is when all the hot guys realize Dad is a Spirit King, making our MC the first and only Spirit Princess, beloved by all Spirit Kings.

I'm from the Light&Shadow fans; can we just appreciate how they lured us with moments of Edna as a mom? Three beautiful children and parents finally getting time to themselves, too cute. I freaking appreciate how we are seeing that baby Alex be a young man like his father. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Key and Elisa too! More importantly, I madly respect Jessica and hope to see more backbone development for Agnis. She needs strength and I hope she finds happiness to.

I started reading the novel after finding this manhwa even though I saw the novel of novel updates a few times; I held off on reading it because I wanted to binge it all when it was finished. But after having a taste, I gave into temptation and am within 100 chapters of catching up to the novel. I binged so hard for a week then took a break. I absolutely love the schadenfreude this story gives me. It's just a master piece for this niche. If you love kuudere MCs that are clever and claim lazing but are workaholics in the end; you will love Cal. After reading the novel, I was so conflicted to figure out whether I should trust Cal's narration or not because he's so believable but also a great liar. So, even when he's having a hard or easy time, it's hard to tell. The relationship development between characters is just beautiful. 10/10 There is no other gem like this, but isekais like Word Master and Death March have a close feeling.
