pluckaduck's manga / #Otome game(12)

the mc, despite living as the villainess in automode 5 times, still retained her pure kind good nature. the trauma of her past resulted in her caring deeply for genuine human relations, such as with Keith (her best friend and likely the ml, a commoner) and elle and primera. she's also more in tune with people's emotions, and she does give them some weight, like the good person she is, so long as they don't cross boundaries. there's no romance yet (ch 28), and the original otome targets are actually of little significance to the mc, and in extension, the plot rn (well, maybe bc the heroine hadn't arrived yet). of course, despite not having a lot of screentime, they are interesting charas who met mc as children offscreen... and it didn't go that cliched route of everyone falling for her, which was interesting (her mutual nemesis is one she met as a child, he's not reviling, but he's not great either, for hating mc unreasonably). that being said, the mc was considerably patient and thoughtful for that annoying woman who stubbornly wanted to compete against mc. so it was cathartic when she finally got angry and told her off. but she's hella stupid for not suspecting that twin pigtails girl.

i think i would cry the day the manga ends. i need them to all end up together
