Kinda saw this coming, but also pleasantly surprised
Story did happen, it was the past timeline (PTL) and was a complete tragedy. It is likely the non-story world that the current personality was born into is a later timeline. Maybe reincarnation but only seme remembers? Maybe PTL is some sort of time loop?
Maybe the current personality came up with this to warn himself?
In current timeline (CTL), OG body most likely didn't retain any PTL memories. But when the OG body was about to be auctioned off, aka when the tragedy basically starts snowballing, OG personality essentially dies off and gets replaced with the current one. Rn I'm sensing a few plotholes in all of the branches that I can currently envision and am looking forward to how they would be resolved. :3
...so uh, I lost track of the plot. Why is the queen so hellbent on killing the uke and essentially destroying the country? :v
hmm, i thought that it showed that she, despite her actions, was still infatuated by his mother, and still wanted to torment her through him. i may be wrong though, but it would've shown her complexity as a character. she's a total bitch, but she's amazing in her way as a character, i should say that.










Been a long time since I've wanted to slap every lead in a story.
ML - irredeemable piece of trash. If that estate burnt down with him alone in it, I would only save him once his face and body suffers third degree burns so he has to live out a miserable existence.
MC - she should have tried to leave the estate as soon as possible. She's not dumb or naive, she clearly knows abt her situation even super early on, so why why why not formulate a plan to escape as fast as possible DDDDDX
ML's fiancee - C'MON at least cook up a plot to marry the MC off, where's the villainess and their petty ego at when it actually matters AND WOULD BE IN GOOD SERVICE
Kyle - a humongous green flag, only flaw is being a coward so he's not well-suited for the MC. hard to blame him when most ppl are susceptible to societal pressure and familial expectations.
