That fcker realized he couldn't rise high enough to reach Penelope, so he decided to drag her down to his level instead.
If the person you love is in a higher social circle, you should either improve yourself and do your best to rise higher (tho if the love is not unrequited, then there's probably no need for that in the first place) or let that person go. The last thing you wanna do is to drag that person down to your fcking level without their agreement just cuz you're a selfish asshole.

I genuinely love the atmosphere here in the comment section after ch 135 got released. After skimming through the comments I noticed there are 3 types of readers here:
1) novel readers who can finally properly insult Eclipse and give out spoilers about how shitty he actually is,
2) readers who are pissed at Eclipse and are asking for spoilers,
3) readers who are too busy insulting Eclipse's ass to care about spoilers lmao
A lot of people here forgot that she still thinks she's in a GAME. Idk about ya'll but if sb suddenly forced me to live as a character in a GAME whose original fate was to die a miserable death, and I knew a way to prevent it, then I'd do the same manipulative shit she did (if not worse), not only to survive but to also get out of that FICTIONAL WORLD because ain't no way I'd ever believe this world to be real, especially if I still had memories of me playing it as a fcking game when I was in (what I'd consider to be) the real world.
