This story is actually really interesting. I decided to take a chance and read it and it was pretty unique and at times quite funny. it has a good mystery and good art. some of the characters are a bit cliche but i think it works in the setting of the novel. It does drag on quite a bit and not much is solved by ch 40 but if you are wanting a better idea of what the story is about I wrote a synopsis below-Minor Spoilers:
The story revolves around 4 elites with bad personalities all suffering the exact same weird illness that modern medicine cannot diagnose or cure. They are gathered together by a mysterious agent K who takes them to a strange mansion that none of their servants can locate or find on a map without K guiding them there. Here he tells them that they are all cursed because of what they did in their past lives. They had all been servants to a madam Jung and had all contributed to her demise thus were cursed. Here comes our FL who is the reincarnation of madam Jung but in modern times is just a regular average down on her luck part timer. She is confused and flustered as she is told she has to choose only one of the 4 to be forgiven and freed of their curse. the others will perish. No one believes this initially but she has strange powers over them that force them to obey her commands and with her touch she can relieve the symptoms of their curse. Thus begins their strange co-habitation where they all are trying to win her over to their side. Along the way their relationships develop as they work as her servants and we get flashbacks to their shared past that help uncover the mystery of what happened to Madam Jung and her servants. We are also told that there is a past lover and a past traitor and if she chooses the traitor they will surely lead her to her death. As of Ch 40 not much has really been revealed and we are only now starting to really get a good look at what happened in the past and who they all were.
Every character in this is an absolute asshole. The dad is an arrogant neglectful prick that fails at every turn as a father and is totally unlikable. the sister is a two faced homicidal bitch who is totally unlikable. both of her brothers are two faced assholes that are totally unlikable. and her knight is the most conceited, obnoxious and prejudiced prick who is totally unlikeable. I read 20 chapters hoping the FL could get even a small win and she didnt. she just gets endlessly shat on and yelled at. An 8 year old. her dad, knight and siblings all mock her and shame her for somehow not being better. An 8 year old. Who has been basically raised isolated and abused. And the dad thinks he did her some grand favor after avoiding meeting her like 5 times during an attempted murder investigation and then just sweeps in to clear out her maids while hardly investigating anything. then not a week later ships his 8 year old who is recovering from extreme neglect to a epidemic hot zone. Real father of the year here.
I can already see how this is going to go. she is going to figure out how to cure the epidemic and the asshole brother is going to take credit for it and she is just going to be shit on some more. The only emotion this series will make you feel is anger. anger, frustration and annoyance. there is no joy to be had here.
dont forget that you will shed tears of anger for our MC (cuz i did). it just shows how frustrating everything is going.
wow. She really didn't even think twice about her kids. Like she dosn't even mention their names that's how little shits she gives about her own damn children. what a piece of shit.
this is top level writing right here. how could they write such real and lifelike characters??? This is amazing.
I just have so many questions about the anatomy happening here if the men are the ones having the children. So is it just an aesthetic swap and they have a traditional V and a womb but look masculine? Or is it a male seahorse situation and they have like a pouch or something. Are they hatched from eggs? do they come out the dick? Magically materiaize from wishes and dreams? Do the men breast feed??? and if so... how? why do the women have tits if they dont? Do the women have dicks? Is it like a prehensile V like a hyena? Maybe some kind of fictional anatomy downstairs that will never be explained? I know I will never get the answers I need and I assume you aren't supposed to think about it too hard but like......I need answers here.
They probably path away after the birth and didn't remember cause it's been so long, and he probably let the daughter drink a water than milk or probably from the cow/monster
I kinda feel bad for the brothers :/ they love their sister so so much but the one they knew is already dead. It probably brings them peace to have the MC pretend but if they knew the truth I wonder how upset they would be.
man she'd have a heck of a case for a workplace harassment lawsuit if she just invested in a voice recorder lol
ch 21 pages are really out of order
