What was the Emperor thinking when he let her into the palace? You can't tell me he doesn't have ANY clue about the Empress' bullshitery.

Making him believe Glorym is his biological daughter is so useless imo. Like just off him instead of making some weak ass lie up last minute just so he can look "more" tragic. As if all the bs he did up until now wasn't enough reason to make him swan dive off the balcony. It's just confusing to the audience and doesn't add anything.

Also, it's so obvious they let AI edit this bruh

Listen I'm but a sentient coach potato but you can't tell me they're that shocked from her dance skills. It's not like her guy is dancing at 1.5x speed or something. "OH NO! We thought the country bumpkin would be rolling on the carpet from how violently graceful the king's moves are, but look at them dancing like normal people! We were so wrong!"
Sometimes anime exhausts me.

Gotta say, I appreciate these types of shoujo stories that treat the main couple's relationship like an actual relationship. Like they blush over each other and don't really confess, keep secrets from each other - a lot of cliches but their relationship isn't limited to just that. They still make kids (effectively so), they vibe, they make progress. They don't get stuck in shoujo uwu love purgatory. If you know you know.

Same goes for the whole family situation. Noella is a flaming bitch, Kayden a murderous sociopath, and the dad a strict, profit-oriented, as well as negligent parent, but they still have some redeeming qualities. Mainly that they still trust if not love each other on sometimes obscure spectrums, which is enough for family. Objectively speaking they're horrible people but if you're part of that family you learn to accept them regardless of their flaws (with limitations), and amen to FL for mastering that (=her siblings).

I think this is why I felt so entertained by the story. If you squint Noella, Kayden, FL, they're all the usual token shoujo villain templates, but their respective traits are turned up to 100 and made fun of, but at the same time not taken too lightly either.
Like some other comment said: The Adams family type shit.

you horny little fujoshis are really in here acting like total monkys, thirsting to see some fictional anime men fuck.

AND ALL I CAN SAY TO THAT IS SAME.

The way I looked at the grandpa and shady kitchen boy, and asap concluded they're relatives - heck, he calls him grandpa himself doesn't he?
Imagine my confusion when FL is all about snooping into his business only to find that out and actually is surprised. Mf I thought you were onto something.

Nah dude I hate the way the characters are being so... forced to act a certain way.
I vibe with the plottwists, sure ok so the prince had valid reasons to kill MC (who would've thought) and all that BUT, BIG BOOTY BUT.

Why doesn't she just fuck off?
"Oh you look displeased about your new job Liesel"
"No it's alright" - Pathetic, tell them you don't want it. Girlie doesn't even try to get out of her situation.
If ML truly does love her he'll simply follow her there too, boom problem solved, happy ending.
Also, I don't understand why they don't communicate either. Like by now (ch.36) you've seen enough from each other to KNOW. OPEN THE FUCK UP AND KISS.

Even if ML is clueless, FL should just be like "I KNOW, I REMEMBER, WHAT'S OUR PLAN?" asap. Also, homeboy is so one-note. He's all sad boy yearning for FL but does nothing productive otherwise. I really hope to see more from him, specifically him actually thinking about his fucked up situation and what his goals are.
If he just wants to be with FL in whatever state then congrats, just marry her and deal with the jealous hoes.
This artificial drama about their status and how "oh no the hoes are gonna come for FL if they find out" is SO pathetic too. Like you guys already KNOW who the main trouble makers are, fucking focus up and stop wasting time.

To add something positive: I like that the token two-faced evil saintess actually gets some character depth. Obviously she was being treated lesser than by her parents because she was the useless daughter in a power hungry household.
She's a menace but I feel like it's Gideon they better be careful around. Idk whether its funny, agonizing or just stupid but damn the guy really did all that so he'd get to be his crush's number 1. Talk about obsession.

Also also, why do I feel like he's gonna send ML to the battlefield?
Why is he trying so hard to mess with him? If he just left FL and ML alone he'd be getting away with it all. FL would be working away from the capital, ML would eventually follow her while he'd get his own happily ever after with the saintess without anyone snooping into his grand plan.

Now that I'm talking about the saintess... I hate how ML won't just be like "shut up ugly hoe" when she's being all omnious in that under-the-tree-with-eepy-FL scene.
He knows she's crazy about "Gideon", so, hurt her where it hurts the most :)

the author looked at all the otome cliches and just said no with this one

Alexa, play new magic wand by tylor the creator

I've seen all these things done before so this just feels mid imho. It's the same uncomplicated cliches.
Not even ML with his high carat face makes it good for me. He's pretty much the only thing the author is trying to put some kind of twist on but that ended up just being a mix of stereotypes too.

There's nothing to chew on, I already vaguely know how and where this is gonna end up at. Nothing wrong with that but it's overall just ok. Not good, but ok.

After dying in a car accident, I possessed the villainess 'Daphne' in an R-rated dark romance novel....

Am I that high or has the title lost the -te somewhere along the way

*intense muffled screaming*

I'm honestly not mad at her, just sliiiightly annoyed. She gave out his phone number under a dumb pretense and that's it, very childish and pointless, a very ok-let's-let-this-child-off situation.
That last "I can't support you"-line is so pathetic though. Appreciate the warning but who asked you for your support anyway?

I have to stop at chapter 7 rq because like, I'm not 100% sure this is just a me-thing, but this whole "women are demons" pov from ML is so???
Nothing against the trauma being there, sounds reasonable, but it's crazy that e v e r y woman this guy meets tries to drug him e v e r y t i m e in some way - or at least it sounds like the guy never met a sane woman besides that redhead maybe.
It feels cartoonish to me, like the story artificially made every other woman look bad so ML would have an excuse to neglect FL.

bro you can't just set her up to be this convincing villainess, playing everyone for the sake of her sister's happiness, just so it turns out everyone has known from the beginning. Like MAN. I expected that maybe the sister, butler, and (sure why not) the ML knew but not the whole damn cast of characters. That's so pathetic lmao. She from from slay to flail way too quick imo.
I like how crunchy the story is, you can chomp it in one bite and enjoy the ride, but if you look too close it starts to crack.
I understood the fake-bullying to distract the parents and unwanted meddlers, but then it gets to faking Iora's handwriting and that letter, and I just can't follow the logic anymore.

She may be a dumbass but at least ML is openly calling it out and loving her for it, god bless lmao
