At ch. 3 and...
alrighty?
So everything's a little chaotic but still...where are we going with this? I am curious. Reluctantly cheering for Berry to elope with her.
My disappointment that there's finally a talking magic sword and it's...
a mindcontrolling ass

"All these men and all of them useless!"
I love Yuders expression(s)
（￣-￣）
(always reminded of several digs from Kishiar like "you're... flustered? ... you SURE?")
This face oscillates between
- annoyance
- fatal difference in emotional investment
- the absolute embodiment of "is that so"
- yes, he smiled, you blinked? sry mate, missed it
"I catch on quick"
You. DO. Not. (ch. 132 mate. 1 3 2!)
Oh, come on, can't our witchy witch be happy first with that adorable whats-her-name (I instantly forget names because established characters don't introduce themselve every time they enter the scene)
Like, BEFORE you pull out the big weapons of "Imma kill this witch like 2 seconds after their adorableness confessed" and witchy witch going "this....<bodyguard> of yours can kill me, lets get on with it"
First of all the motto of the "Righteous Thieves" to "not make more competition by people starving so there's someone left to con and steal from" is so. Wholesome.
and like. That poor butler guy. Not only is the whole con not really aimed at the Duke but HIM, he's already so stressed from dealing with a guy who's supposed to do "ABC" but takes a sharp turn in front of "D" into "WTF"-territory.
"Him" holding the fifth of the quintett is... ok, so maybe he took her advice to heart (for which he must have been awake, yes). But the hell kind of conclusions did he draw from that advice.
Regression this or that, remember kids, don't put strange things in your mouth. "Hair gods"... oh, my.
This blanket. Went clearly beyond tokenism and reached "critical mass" in the useless department.
"What are you gonna do out there?! I've never seen such a foolish man."
yes. I mean, he might look poised and suave and like, on top of things. But that's uhm. For all things military, I suppose and if you pluck this poor moron and plant him right in the middle of "human interaction" there's a wooden *clack* and you possibly see a screw springing away and from then on Murphy's Law is in session, which means if he CAN fuck up then he most ardently WILL
Alright, so to summarize:
- reborn: yes
- moral: not really
- with sanity: NOPE.
(the only guy with a lick of common sense died way early and everyone else is on the "raving mad"-spectrum)
"Does seeing her make your heart tingle?"
That would be the dagger bro. She did you in like filet. *frantically gestures*
The plot: what if Bambi was in fact a amnesiac eldritch third cousin
Me: I am listening...?
"Does this promise still stand"
"No"
What MORE could you need? Apparently a reality check with a blunt force weapon
Ch. 49 is a testament to how important your choice of words can be.
"I will only smile at your grave"
Try that, asshat.
I think I am emotionally ready for a beefy lead out-masculining cookie-cutter cliches
sure am glad I'm no deity and don't have to deal with a endless loop of these two going "take me!" "no, take me!"
Yeah, I'll bite, if only for that sister. She's got that "everyone but my little sister is vermin" etched all over and as far as I can see, she's gaming the system pretty well (not supposed to elevate her illegetimate sibling = it's a gift because I don't want it anymore)
Granted she went to undergo theological training just to get out of the picture but still. This gotta be peak frustration.
"Actually, the founding myth (and subsequent theology) is bullshit"
I am only on the what---? third chapter? I can kind of get all the usual yammer of "you too would do xyz if you'd die if not"
But honestly. I suppose I am too old for this stuff, cause I know myself and I know that after being deathly afraid for 5-7 hours a switch is being flipped and I WILL ACT out. I will face whatever it is (not neccessarily with the most thought through plan). So by the 20th time this lunatic goes "bored, bored" (bonus points if fondling his sword handle like a perv) I'd just slap him. Until satisfied or I find something heavier.
"But you have to take in all this new information and try to-"
Yeah, so stab me.
Corr and Illia? I mean why not? Both seemed very interested?
Selena? (to clarify, the woman that got palpitations by the mention of MONEY)
Ignus? The man is enduring so much gay panic he's absolutely missing out on everything else going on. He's also cooking his brain cell 90% of the time by blushing with all his might. Man's glowing in the dark, thinking of his Knight.
Rowan? walking stress ulcer? verbal table tennis player extraordinaire with resident foolish prince
Celestine (the OG); I am starting to ship him with Letio in a father-son way or something
Letio? If this is the OG MC then I really have to wonder about the genre; maximally stressed homicidal maniac "God, do I have to kill them too? So much to do, such little time"
