i love how she uses the pronoun ¨I¨ even tho she got into the novel after dying in her �...

it was actually mentioned in the novel that she lived as cayena too before she reincarnated in the modern world. that explains why in one panel, she said that 'I came back'.

She also lived as Cayena before. So, it's more on time travel and reincarnation at the same time.

WHAAATTTT WHY WAS THIS NOT MENTIONED IN THE MANHWA-

Also, can you please tell me where to read the novel?

You can check the link below, but sadly the novel was dropped (another trans group got license for it) but I has 100 chapters already. It's a bomb I tell you!! A freaking bomb!

Thank you! <3

oohhhhh i also wondered if that was the case cause of the “i came back” but thought she meant that she came back to life one way or another after being stabbed... i wondered if it was similar to doctor elise and you guys tell me it is so i’m excited!! >.<

personally I find it confusing. Makes her character less believable and difficult to accept. If she was Cayena before it should have been explained in prologue or chap1

also, how can she get isekaid from a novel into real world???

As far as I can remember, her 1st life was Cayena from the orig tl on the novel and I think she was reincarnated as a korean netz on her 2nd life, she was stabbed by a lady (don't really remember who she is but there is a scene where the company director tried to make a pass on her and she kinda let him - like a sponsor for promotion or something) then she woke up and return as Cayena before the orig tl starts.

i agree with the fact that if she did go from cayena to korean citizen to cayena again, it is quite confusing as it is not that well described so far

also i would find it quite weird to live a first life as someone, be reincarnated in a second life with memories of your first life while learning that, in your second life, your first life is considered to be the life of a book character if im making myself clear

i havent read the novel so i cant say anything but both possibilities are not that credible
1st possibility: she already lived as cayena once, died the way it is written in the novel, got reborn as a citizen of another world/of the future where her first life is the plot of an online novel, died, then got reborn again in the past of her first life before dying. 1st possibility is not really clear in the story so far

2nd possibility: she was an ordinary salary woman who enjoyed reading the novel cayena was a character in because she was depicted as a puppet while our salary woman was herself feeling like a puppet in her company (passage where her company boss tells her not to forget who got her the team leader post/promotion), so she resonated with cayena because she felt similar to her. then someone comes up to her and stabs her to death because apparently they seem to have lost a job opportunity because of her and ended up in a bad situation so they took revenge by stabbing her. then she gets reincarnated as cayena but her adjustment time is so little that it feels like she has already lived her whole life as a princess. BUT in chapter one she says ¨im being dressed up as soon as i awake in a body that almost died (...) so this is what a life of a princess is¨ insinuating that she didnt know how the life of a princess felt like before...

personally, with the available chapters so far, i do not believe she actually lived as cayena before but if y´all read the novel then you are most likely right
i do think that her adapting time is really really short but yeah maybe her personality allows that
anyways im quite excited as to how this story will unfold so yaaayyy lets enjoy it, hopefully our questions will be answered

Yeah but a novel is fiction written by someone, how could she originally be a fictional character written by someone then become a real person and read a novel not written by her about her past life ? It makes no sense.
Unless they will put some gods. Both worlds are real and gods control them and with plot powers they decided to mess with one hooman out of 7bln.

you can think about it like Elise from Doctor Elise although her life is not a novel but it's like the same thing. it's just more confusing here since it's not explained well.
