Hmm I like it but then I'm kinda iffy about food mangas because of how wordy they can get in explaining the ingredients, I don't hate it but it makes me hungry sometimes and him quiting school isn't the best idea imo, I think he di better entering culinary department and learning to use his math skills against other cooks while Kai mentors him in his sadistic methods XD

This reminds me of the self proclaimed villainess one. Where they genuinely want to be the villainess ond move on from the storyline but instead completely charm the love targets while dumbly and blindly unaware

Asterias only makes appearances in still panes and his character isich more charismatic than most of the other male characters.
I would actually ship Lippie with Hal since there is an unspoken trust and chemistry between the two from Lippie's past life and his cleverness but we know who the ML is which is why it's annoying how much interaction we're being shown form those two.
I hope we get a time skip of a few years because a 5 year old manipulating adult social circles, creating businesses, slowly involving herself in politics and manipulating actual kids for so many chapters is getting a bit aslo the way she manipulates Hal and ties him down to someone he hasn't become yet kinda makes me uncomfortable
The older lippie, despite her tragic outcome was extremely sheltered by everyone in her house so in that aspect it doesn't surprise how much common sense she is lacking and how she let's her emotions blindly drive her at times and ignore her surroundings, that it's more naive and ignorant than pure and innocent
Charti making things clear, props to the prince in his efforts of protecting Charti, his mom and the royal family and trying to clear the misunderstanding and all but keeping charti in the dark is kinda mean
Also am I the only one who kinda misses the Prince’s little curl at the top of his head?
