I love the little joke doodles the artist always adds at the end of the chapter.

I couldn’t wait and read the entire webnovel which you can find here:

It was a rather easy read, aside from Day 1 which I felt dragged way too long. I don’t blame it for being like that though, since Day 1 is alot of set up.

I enjoyed the karma which came for what it is. It might vary for you whether everyone gets what they fully deserve. Some got more extreme punishments than others. For example, the dad goes to jail while the prince gets disowned as royalty, demoted to a count with debt, banished to another land and made a royal vassal, but otherwise still healthy and still in a decently high position. And I don’t think the mother got a good enough punishment to be honest.

Surprisingly, only one person manages to redeem themselves and that’s the merchant Lorona was working with, who managed to get his head out of his ass halfway through and only lost half his earnings nearly hastily taking a shady deal but otherwise ended up fine and remorseful.

And speaking of remorse, some of the characters actually feel REMORSE. There is a flavour of horrid characters being so self absorbed that they don’t realise why everything is going wrong. But in the novel at least, some of them actually realise their ruin was nothing but the sum of their choices.

To be honest, I am torn with the Prince and Lorona getting together. At the end of the novel when the prince and her family accountant find Lorona alive, the Prince tells Lorona that everyone moved on and that it’s better to not reveal herself back home otherwise she’ll disrupt their adjusted lives. It’s a white lie with good-ish intentions because he knows that Lorona is the type to try and save a sinking ship like she always has. But other comments say that it’s scummy of him because that takes away some of Lorona’s control to make a decision entirely on her own, especially with the way he frames it in his head; he knows eventually Lorona will find out anyway the truth of how everyone took her death but thinks by the time she finds out, he would’ve “made her his” and it wouldn’t matter anymore. But some like a good-intentioned manipulator, so take it how you will.

Either way, good read, good time. Satisfied,

The main character ragging on the OG!ML for dating the girls is getting old because from Blondie’s perspective, he’s not. He’s just dating in his own age-range.

Dude needs to realise that HE’S the anomaly here.

The fact she physically cannot harm humans directly makes me worry the story is gonna fall into the “tame a villain(ess)” trope. Where they basically suppress an enemy’s murderous tendencies and bond through hijinks. Nah bro, you better kill the bitch. You DESPERATELY need the days. Don’t fall for how hot she is.

Looks like the end of chapter 71 got messed up and duplicated. I went to Magustoon to read it there. It basically ends with him saying the dress is beautiful with the SLIGHTEST hint of blush

I just wanna get my thoughts out here in what I managed to read about this series.

I had just finished reading about the knight’s revenge and honestly, I just feel really sad and detached. Like I don’t mind that Musee doesn’t forgive him. She died to him, after all. But I feel like the story wasted his set up after they did nothing significant with it.

This knight truly was honorable in character. So much so that the white lotus had to use more brainwashing on him than usual and even then, the knight knew instinctively to try and avoid the FL because HE REALLY DIDN’T WANT TO HURT HER, whether he believed the accusations or not.

And they just did him in with the same savagery as the first dude who has a human trafficking business.

Like I can’t help but feel it isn’t fair?

I find it hard to be invested in this revenge not just because of the brainwashing aspect which muddies the water a bit, but ultimately isn’t a deal breaker (first guy had that business BEFORE the brainwashing after all. Maybe the remaining guys were also pieces of shit before getting brainwashed), but because the FL also just… doesn’t really care? She was never going to forgive them whether they get maimed or not and every comment I see says she just lets the dragon do revenge for her BECAUSE HE HAS FUN WITH IT. She’s not invested at all.

And I get that the trauma of 4 deaths can numb a person. But I immediately felt iffy when it’s revealed the white lotus is actually a POSSESSED white lotus and the OG!FL’s soul was sold to prostitution WAAAY before even meeting the FL. But the FL doesn’t give a shit. She doesn’t even switch names for who is the true culprit for all her suffering.

As well as seeing shitty people get their karma, I also read these to feel catharsis for the FL’s sake so if she isn’t attached to it then neither am I.

About time the family became relevant again after the allergic reaction fiasco… but is this the way they are going to start trying to make it up to her? It’s a little much

FL - Oh, he came to my place in the middle of the night at an ungodly hour to beg me not to leave, tended to me all night while I was sick and then retracted his begging for my sake… probably because he wants something from me.

I HATE THIS SHIT. IT NEVER DIES. IT’S THE PITFALL SO MANY WORKAHOLIC FLS FALL INTO.

For a world that is hell-bent on making BL everywhere, I am astonished it then went hell-bent on getting Psychic and Mob to NOT meet. Like it just lined up so perfectly.

The second half of chapter 7, all the pages are scrambled up :( I hope someone can fix it
