I liked the relationship between Iana and Isaac, but also it felt kinda rushed and out of nowhere. Iana already has, what, four(?) potential suitors and you're telling me that some guy who she hasn't even known for that long and who she was only using to further her own goal in the first place is the one she loves the most? That she would give up on 9 volumes of efforts to stop her sister from becoming the Saint just for this guy? Sorry, author, I did really like the dynamic between them, but you're going to have to put a little more time and effort into their relationship to get to me to believe that's something the main character would do on her own without the plot forcing her to do it.
Has it been known that the characters were in their late teens this whole time? Did I just forget because I originally read this through the fan translations a while ago? Does anyone have a chapter/page reference for when their ages were mentioned before the bonus chapters?? Because I had to do a double-take when I read that Shiki was only 17.
Damn, I forgot how much I liked this. Jericho very believable as a teenage girl. She doesn't act like she's secretly an adult and she isn't too immature either. She's really a great female lead and I can't wait to see where this story goes now that's it's back to updating.
Somehow, this is worse than if her kind family was just an act and was secretly using her the whole time. Seems like they all genuinely cherished Wisteria until the younger sister was in danger and then they all turned on her. The ex-love interest is especially nasty. The younger sister clearly loved Wisteria, and I genuinely can't imagine her being okay with marrying a man who told her beloved sister to die in her place. Not to mention, the asshole had the audacity to forbid talking about her and allow bad rumors to spread about the woman who loved him and also took his wife's place as sacrifice. I hope Rosalie divorces him - but knowing these types of stories, Wisteria will probably come back and forgive him and wish them happiness and absolutely nothing will be resolved in a satisfying manner.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I WISH UPDATES CAME FASTER BUT THANK YOU, TRANSLATOR, FOR THE WORK YOU DO.
I was pretty set on wanting Azure to be endgame until this volume. I still like him, but it's never going to work out if he stays as king, because he'll have to put the kingdom first over Nina like he does here. Nina needs someone to support her, and I think Sett does a much better job. That being said, I'm not convinced the author agrees with me. It's hard to think the endgame will be anyone but Azure, considering that the author describes him as "perfect boyfriend material."
I know Riftan is being an ass and he sucks for that but also I kind of love it. I don't think I'd enjoy Maxi's growth and her learning to take charge quite as much as I do now if Riftan was acting perfect and automatically supportive. Watching him want to protect her but be stupid about it and watching her want to help and putting her foot down and not put up with his well-intentioned bullshit is great, and I think the conflict between their characters and their desires is fun to see now that Maxi has grown a bit of a backbone.
PLEASE. I am praying for Jihyun to be useful again. She had a little power-up where she contributed more than usual and she has been a liability ever since. She helps out here and there but mostly she gets taken hostage or forced back onto the sidelines while a different character steps up to do the heavy lifting. PLEASE give her another training montage or something so she can level up with the rest of her team.
Was there a non-sexy reason the other crystal had to go up his ass? I understood the justification for feeding Rigon the life crystal that was basically an aphrodisiac because negative energy and whatever. But the bead up the butt was lost on me.
An unexpected update. Now......give me the dog x cat romance you've been teasing us with for so long, you coward!!!!
Sooo... the metal-looking stuff on the demon lord's face in his original form was just his face? I was kind of hoping for an original form face reveal but... I guess that's just his face???? And the mask on the demon lord's servant is also just part of his face????????
I wish we'd gotten another chapter of Sora grieving and then healing and maybe agreeing to be the witch for a new cat. I don't know. It just seems too sad for the manga to end on "the cat never came home again." Maybe I'm just too much of a dog person and I just don't have the strength of heart to let cats go when they're ready to go.
Seems interesting. I don't know why the rating is so low when there are only 2 chapters and nothing egregious has happened yet.
So, why exactly was Theodore dying from the curse originally? It seems like she loved him. Was it that she didn't truly forgive him? Or were her love and forgiveness not enough to break the curse in its earliest form? Can someone explain?
The goddess's face sure was something this chapter. I was disgusted by her actions but also kept getting thrown off by how goofy she looked half the time.
It certainly is a twist that the goddess of love was behind the majority of Raoul's suffering, but I'm not sure if I like it. The saintess and the princess were set up as such easily hateable characters, so it was fun to cheer when they got their just desserts. To find out that they were controlled and brainwashed and maybe not at fault at all takes away from the satisfying feeling of revenge and now I just feel kind of bad for them. And feeling bad for the perpetrators is not what I really look for in a revenge story.
Do you think Penelope liked Eclis at all? I'm certain she never loved him, but was there any affection there even a little? The only person she's expressed any explicit fondness for so far has been the prince. Seems to me that she's angry at her trust being betrayed and afraid that her chance for escape is disappearing, but I don't think I would say she's heartbroken.
I just realized that the relationship between Penelope and Eclis reminds me of the relationship between the FL and her knight from Kill the Villainess except it's a bad end. The biggest difference is that the FL in Kill the Villainess admits to her knight that she isn't the person she's possessing and she needs his help so she can go back to her own world. I wonder if being trusted with that information would have changed Eclis's actions at all. Of course, there are other differences that have pretty big consequences, I'm sure. Penelope can die from anything and anyone here and the FL from Kill the Villainess could only die in one specific way, so trusting someone would be much harder for Penelope. Also, Eclis is an enslaved prince from a slaughtered nation while the knight from Kill the Villainess is a nobody orphan with no prospects, and while both are sad, Eclis's backstory is definitely more traumatizing and probably messed up his personality a good bit. Anyway, I think it's an interesting comparison between two similar circumstances.
Despite baving read the spoilers for this webtoon, I honestly don't feel all that bad for the FL. Maybe it's just poor writing, but 3 men who are basically her brothers-in-arms and also in love with her very suddenly stop caring about her at all and she just accepts it. She hires an information guild, yes, but aside from that, she doesn't try very hard to do anything else to investigate or try to fix the issue. Feels to me like she never had a real relationship with any of them and assumed all of their affection and shared experiences were purely based on her role as the Main Character. So, not much of a betrayal when it seems like the FL was keeping them all at arms length the whole time anyway.
