The uploaders were very slow on this one. Pretty sure I read this promo over a year ago on the same site as the group translating the novel. (￣∇￣")
(Don't ask about the site, or the novel. Pretty sure the witch hunters got it.)
Look, I can suspend all my disbelief for the episodes so far (though putting your own arm in a cast is stretching it), but I cannot accept the wedding dress chapter!（￣へ￣）
Do you carry a woman in a wedding dress like that? Not only is she flashing everyone in the hallway, but the skirt drapes even more, it is literally under his feet! Lifting the skirt's train over the arm along with the body would allow him to control the skirt's drape, and that way he won't trip and drop her. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
As is, the author could have had him trip, and then her bandage cosplay would actually make sense (if exaggerated) instead of...whatever the motivation is for the bandage chapter.
Something that's bothered me since the first time I read this, months ago. Why doesn't Yenni just tell Eru that she has amnesia?
I get that she won't tell him about her being reincarnated for a while (a dozen chapters at least) but she can still tell him that she has less than one year's memory of living in Lebovny. Then there's a legitimate excuse for her not knowing basic information (like her baptismal name), and Eru and everyone can stop looking so confused whenever she doesn't know something, and just give her the information she doesn't have.
They completely ruined the garden scene (in chapter 48) by setting it in Hari's POV. The tension would have gone up if it was Eugene's POV, but nope.
I can't believe they included the Halloween scene in the extra images at the end!!! That was the cutest extra story in the novel!!! Life is wonderful!!! ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Lots of (VERY WARRANTED) criticism about the Queen, but I wanted to explain about the foresight ability of the royal family.
There's apparently three types of foresight, all of which come up in the story. (Least to most important.)
- Vanishing Future, which mostly comes up as dreams that show the original plot of the game. No one remembers the contents of these dreams; they're just disturbing nightmares. (I'm blaming the guys seeing these dreams on Tiara, but it hasn't been confirmed yet if she's actually responsible.)
- Alterable Future, which is slightly uncommon. Most of the time things still happen, but in a different way. Like if you prevent a murder only for them to die in an accident a week later. Pryde is a Big Deal because she manages to avoid the tragedy altogether (probably because she's usually the main cause).
- Unavoidable Future, which is supposedly the most common type of vision but only really comes up once in the novel.

Pryde becoming an enemy that threatens the country is the biggest example of an unchangeable future. All three people with foresight ability (Rosa/Pryde/Tiara) have seen this future and know that it cannot be avoided, and deal with it in their own way. Rosa ignores it (and Pryde), Pryde works to mitigate the collateral damage, and Tiara gets stronger to protect Pryde.
There ARE reasons why Pryde loses it and attacks the country, it makes sense, and it gets resolved...and the Queen feels like an idiot because she missed at least six years of her daughter's life for No Reason. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
If you want to understand what's going on, I'd recommend reading the novel. Reading the manga is like trying to read a good book after someone has torn out half the pages. I had hope for like the first chapter, but things went downhill fast.
Seriously, what was the manga-ka thinking to skip half the shipping scenes to focus on THIS mess? It's a romance novel!
My guess: time crunch/ trying to fit the whole story into a set amount of chapters. Publishers are harsh
I get it, but it feels dumb. I'm not asking for an adaption that's line-by-line identical to the novel, but I don't understand why they prioritized the School Arc. It's the novel climax, I get it, but it's really badly written even in the novel. They could have gutted that part of the manga and only shown how the people the FL actually interacts with were affected by Alois' plot, and had room to show that the ML and FL are actually in love.
Just because it's an "isekai'd into an otome game" setting doesn't mean that you have to focus on that part of the story at the expense of literally all character interaction.
