Uhmm from what I understood, Duroa thought that Nocton was the real ML from the original story (meaning the novel she read) which was actually Aaron (aka "Ed"). She thought that because her memories of her past life was incomplete due to her reading the novel 3yrs before she died.
Well of course, now in Duroa's reincarnated life, I do believe Nocton is the ML ლ(´ڡ`ლ) ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
So what u r saying is the the ml of the story she reincarnated into is Aaron. But in Duroa's reincarnated person of the story the male lead is Nocton.
Gee this whole time I shipped Duroa with Notcon but started to think he was the villain. I was starting to panic lol. Thx for telling me, I would have died out of stress if u didn't. (⊙…⊙ )
Well we could put it this way, the original story is mainly about Ed and Alice with Duroa and Nocton being the villains. And now the story revolves more on Nocton and Duroa, making them the main characters here, and Aaron and Alice are the 2nd love team
Nocton now is still viewed as a villain because of his black magic and Alice's prophetic dreams. But I think the author is letting us see Nocton's side of the story which is hella cute (like that promise he made with Duroa made on not killing anyone). I just think he's not good at expressing his feelings and being totally honest. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
(That's just how I understood/interpreted the story as of the latest chapter, we still have to look forward to the next chapters for more clarification) (=・ω・=)
um...so the story is kind of messy...so im confused, but um...the male lead is Nocton...right? (⊙…⊙ )
