I’m at chapter 63, read the whole thing in one go, and I had to TAKE A BREAK because this manhwa nearly fucking ended me with how much crying I did, that I had to take MEDS because I had a headache from all the sobbing.
I went from hating Heiner to supporting him completely. This is a testament to the fantastic character development both MC and ML had. Every raw emotion laid out in the chapters, oh I felt it. I’m glad I gave it a chance because I actually dropped it once before in early chapters because I couldn’t stand ML.
As a Seol fan, I’m screaming over the last two chapters. And omg Guys, I’m freaking TF out at this plot twist. Was SEOL the Childhood friend the whole time??? I thought it was Kang Miro but both kid and SEOL HAS THE SAME HAIR COLOR. If the kid was SEOL, then it’ll explain WHY HIS BEHAVIOUR BACK IN KINDY WAS SO SHITTY HELP
Edit: Seol wtf is up with that fugly shirt
no - we know kang miro was that kid lmao sorry to diminish ur hopes
Gosh, I must be getting old lol it’s been ages since I last read this. I never liked the childhood friend trope anyway so it’s good news for me I guess
WAIT CHILDHOOD FRIEND TROPE GIRL THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS IT god forbid kang miro is actually the ml
This is one of the best FL time loop novels I’ve read this year. I HAD TO TAKE A BREAK from reading other stuff for a bit because of this lol. If you think Raymond is just your typical boring blond ML, hahaha no. Man can be deranged, BROKEN AND RAW - this is what happens when you lived for 7000 years. He is ON CARYNNE’S FREQUENCY (freak level too, maybe EVEN MORE sdlfjfkkjd) and this is not only grounding Carynne but actually giving her HOPE for the very first time. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that they do is for each other’s sake. As for Dulan, I blame the manhwa for making him a bit depressingly good looking. Dude is 100% a piece of shit and is the source for everything that went wrong for Carynne. I swore a few of my blood vessels burst because of him.
Go and read the novel, it’s almost completely translated and beautifully done too : https://www.novelupdates.com/series/resetting-lady/ It has 4 more arcs not done yet (Dulan’s arc, Happily Ever after arc, and 2x side stories, in this order.) Dulan's arc in particular is very important so if you want to wait for translations to reach this point, hang in there.
Good place to start is at chapter 167 if you wanna read more about Raymond’s… um… beastly nature when the floodgates are open lol.
You can do what I did, by skipping 94 chapters in the novel. Read chapter 1, then head over to chapter 96 because that’s when shit hits the fan... FOR THE TWO POS MLS. If you read the entire novel, the payoff will never be enough for the time you invested in this work. Tbh I will never ever get how authors can go on and on AND ON with the sexual torture porn, but I’m not their target audience for this so. /shrug I stuck around because people were raving about the author’s supposedly masterful skill at depicting emotions in revenge scenes (meh but it did just enough to trigger my emotions).
There’s a certain group of readers that books like this cater to, much like how NTR is for a selected group - for me, I’m just here for one thing : MC to collect his dues. You’re not supposed to ship MC and ML, you're not supposed to think it’s a good book - it’s meant to piss you off and if you stick around long enough, you’re expected to hang on because you will be rewarded with the MC’s RETRIBUTION that will DENY both ML’s redemption. I had a rough idea of what went on and I still cried tears of rage reading the novel because it was finally time for MC to rise.
And he absolutely dished it out tenfold. The revenge was glorious. It was perfect to see him ASCEND TO THE THRONE the way he did. The two trash MLs knew they broke him, they did him wrong all the way. I loved that the 2 will never get what they want and one of them completely submitted to MC knowing he will never have MC’s heart because he had nothing left to give except pure indifference. There will never be a happy ending and it ended just fine because tbh, nobody would pick up a book like this and expect a sane, happy ending. MLs got what they deserved and that’s it for me.
At least he doesn't end up with the MLs? Sometimes the MC will forgive even after undergoing humiliation and torture, I hope that's not the case here.
Yeah, he doesn’t. He pretty much retained what’s left of his heart for others like children, his loyal soldiers, etc but basically, there is no humanity or even any /feeling/ of any kind from MC to both trash. Door is permanently shut on that.
Oh. You give some hope.
Yeah. Skip the torture porn, only take what you need from the last bit of the book and move on. Occasionally come back to it if you’re ever in the mood for bad ends but at least MC reigns supreme.
I’ve been waiting so long for a story like this where the MC DOESNT get with abusers but pieces himself back together by himself. I’m glad I read this spoiler because it would have been hard to stick around with the idea of MC getting with toxic people.
sounds like we r in for a hell of a yap sesh, ill pick up this manwha in a couple of years so i dont have to torture myself even more by waiting for chaps
How exactly does the Mc takes his revenge?? Does he execute them, or lock them up or banish them ?? I need details ╥﹏╥
I came from your comment in my topic so I can read yours. I gotta say I CAN FEEL YOU RAGE!!! I love it hahaha. I just hate how the marquis just died, like I want him to suffer more. He's the reason why this happened.
Comrade, you found me! Yesssss, is the marquis the guy who took all the glory and achievements for himself? Then YES I DIDN’T KNOW WHY he died in 2 seconds.
To ramble on, I appreciated that the author never went overboard with MC’s brokenness and broke the immersion I had while reading about his path of recovery (as much as he could anyway) It’s one of the works that I sometimes go back reading if I’m ever in the mood for MCs putting trashes in their place while trying to pick up the broken pieces of himself to function.
Yes, it's him. If it weren't for him, none of this would've happened.
Looking forward to finishing the story. Still currently reading it. I can't contain my curiosity and had to look for spoilers
So word on the street is, that Genas, king brother of ML, actually ends up with a male knight given to him by ML. His name is Harlan (according to NU spoilers)
Remember ch45, that knight who went on that mission sent by ML to check up on the deposed princess in the tower? HIS NAME IS SIR HALEN. I THINK HE IS THAT VERY KNIGHT. THE SAME KNIGHT who is apparently the JULIET EQUIVALENT to Genas in how both are their salvation. OMG damn, I’M GOOD.
For the toxic blond empress who’s been abusing Genas… a lot of stuff seem to happen but apparently she will be by the side of the future empress? WHO HAPPENS TO BE THE LITTLE RED HAIRED CHILD ALL GROWN UP NOW? Apparently there’s this twisted thing about the empress keeping her in captivity? WHAT IN THE TOXIC YURI
Does anyone have any novel raws to share? If not… well, I’ll figure out how to buy from Naver because I cannot NOT read about these side pairings.
Wait wait wait what?

The emperor ends up gay and the empress also ends up lesbian?
That's lowkey hilarious because Enoch (jokingly) asks Halan in ch 35 if he's "got a lover with curly red hair". Harlan then comments that the hair looks like it belongs to Genos
Sgjkgfghj I’m dying over this, THEY KNEW WHAT THEYRE DOING lol
I’m sticking around for one reason only : Andante’s epic yandere / wtf is happening faces in manhwa form lol. This is what happens when you take your partner for granted, expecting them to be on your beck and call, and don’t make any effort whatsoever to get to know them as a person.
Not gonna say much about Hyeseop or the novel (someone nearly lost it after the misunderstanding stretched out after 37383837 chapters, I feel you) but damn I’m living for Andante’s glorious faces these few chapters hahaha cry more
First off, I summarized the entire novel as much as I could here, for those looking for spoilers. I left out some unimportant events but I think I covered the major stuff :
https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/19386114/
Tbh, my memory may be foggy over this work since I last posted but I’ll bring up the source if you ever need it.
—-
For blood relations IN NOVEL (see my note about Novel vs Manhwa in spoilers), some people were confused as they couldn’t find the source. English translations are very, very far behind; they’re still in the first book. The only time Tae Rok mentions anything about blood relations is in the second book.
For Nanyoung’s birthright : in the very first chapter in the first page, the novel speaks about MC bring a mirror image of the king his father. This confirms his birthright.
For Tae Rok the uncle: in volume 2, story 6 he says to Nanyoung this exact phrase : “ 너와 나는 피할 수 없는 인연. 피로 이어진 인연. 혈육 관계니까” which can be translated to "You and I share an inescapable bond. A connection forged in blood. Because we’re family." I’ve always went ??? about his birthright, but when I read this, I didn’t question it anymore.
Hope this helps. (BTW I’m not a self proclaimed incest lover asfgffhj I just read a VERY WIDE RANGE of Korean novels in case anyone’s wondering lololol)
No, I didn’t read the whole thing, I don’t know why some Korean readers raved about this work and I don’t really care to know. I skimmed through, saw someone saying that said the teacher ended up with her colleague (the one in the bus) but also INCORRECTLY SAID there were 91 chapters so I got curious.
Well, here’s a picture of the actual couple. Who’s this, you ask? Well I’ll tell you who this ISN’T: he is NOT THE COLLEAGUE.

Dropping this here, bye. (For anyone asking, I don’t know any raw sources for this, I saw I could rent the chapter on Ridibooks for a small fee so I bought it)
That 4th ML… actually has the most main ML aura. The latest chapter just made me SWOON because their vibes are so cute and AWKWARD AND THEY JUST NEED A FRIEND no drama. I’m rooting for him and because of this, I need to marinate until next year.
OMG YES A NEW CHAPTER I was just sobbing over a tragic otome webnovel but it’s ok now coz I’m ready for dicks
Tell me the name of the tragic one so i can go and get some trauma
Look up ‘My Beloved Oppressor’ I know you’ll want to despise the ML, but trust me, you’ll cry too when layers after layers of his character is revealed and the growth both FL and him goes through is just … after I was done sobbing and all, all I could think of was ‘I need dicks’ lol
Oh that one. I was stackkmg chapters waiting to slap shit out of the Ml..
YOU CAN DIVE IN NOW. HANG IN THERE until ch36, it’s a fucking roller coaster and I still can’t believe I’m saying this, but I ended up being actually more than okay with him. It’s a testament of the strength of writing that series has.
