Wayyyyyy too fast paced, lots of plot holes, only at chapter 13-ish
Why can the bitch who got her eyes see but she cant
How did her family lose track of her after a merchant bought her(they likely have adoption records if orphanages exist in the first place even if not tho, ONE OF WHOEVER YOU HAD WATCHING HER WOULD HAVE SEEN THE ASSHOLE OR TRACKED THE CARRIAGE)
Where do her powers come from since hypnosis is a "royal power"
The fuck is a kilometer?!?!?!?! (Eagle calls repeatedly, god bless america meme)
Like... really... no game company would delete an account of the BIGGEST youtuber bringing attention to there game... on the suspicion, SUSPICION of him being an accomplice to a hacker/so called cancer cell...
Maybe put on watch, or sum like that, but not anything like permanent account deletion... especially in a game which has real world monetary effects, I want to say, especially with the money he has and considering what country the lawsuit would be using the laws of, he'd win the lawsuit...
Are you sure?
CEO's are pretty fucking stupid.
Like Boeing assassinating the whistle blower that said "I will never kill myself, I am happy"
Yeah, I uh also kinda got disproved by the ENTIRE Schlep scenario too soooo my previous statement was apparently false
Remember, truth is stranger than fiction.
ITS SO DAMN UNIQUE, BUT LIKE! ARGHHH
Okay, so, The BEST PART OF THIS, bar the art, is how if you look ONLY FROM THE MOTHERS POV, it's a bland ass normal damn rofan Shojo/Josei thing, BUT because it's from the daughter's POV it doesnt FEEL like that...
Old played off tropes feel unique because they are told essentially from a never really before seen perspective...
And I really cant get enough of the fact that they are actual characters too! Like the mother almost goes off on the daughter because she's scared and a little angry and is falling into her old habits from the first life, but she stops herself, gets mad at herself, and keeps trying to fix it....
So... I dont know how this story is going to go, BUT JESUS! I need the ntr fetish bastard to end up with his family in shambles, I need nothing to happen to the mc family, and I NEED the ex to (while not forgiven) end up not being a crazy/absolute bitch, I'm seeing early signs with the one panel in chapter 3, but uh... please, I want her to have a lot of comeuppance, BUT I dont feel its ENTIRELY her fault.
Blond bastards Obviously a fucking master manipulator/Experienced in this type shit, so I feel most of the revenge (if any, this could just focus on fluffy type moving on bs) should be focused on the dickwad
Just my opinion tho,
(Also FL reminds me of Alya from the "sometimes hides her feeling in Russian" manga... in looks...)
1. Damn do I feel bad for yandere boi... he's creepy and in general I dont really like yandere... but like he
2. Yaaaaaayyyy 4 CALLISTO! He was the only other option I could really see Penelope sending up with, the brothers just filled a weird niche uncanny zone, where she grew up mostly as their sister, so feelings would be icky, and mage boi just... idk... something about him just made me think that it wasn't ever gonna work out...
3. I'm, so happy happy, I'm so happy, WE GET A SECTION WHERE ITS JUST CALLISTO AND PENELOPE! ... hopefully
Okay so, like... this is good, but... am I the only one who feels like shes a bit evil? Not like super or anything, but the way she talks makes me think she wants to like destroy her younger brother, or similar such stuff...
Its still a really good read, and a pretty good example of generational trauma/abuse/neglect... but I cant help thinking that there's a rosy-er path than the one she decided to forge ahead on... idk... I just really fo hope she ends up being a really good older sister to the adopted kid.(ps the translation of them talking about their mother is sometimes grammatically wrong, since they share a mother... sometimes mc refers to Younger brothers mother as "your mother" BUT if that isnt an error, it sorta is another example of a really good detail i guess... because she WOULD probably feel a disconnect due to the way she was treated vs how the brother was... so the wall between her mother and "his mother" has a possibility of actually being realistic.)
I'm at 14 not 17, mb
Yes, she’s not exactly a good person. She’s pety but so what? She’s not a bad person either, she’s just standing up for herself.
She’s even showing her evil little brother consideration since he’s a kid. But a behaviour-less brat like him deserves to be smacked to be taught a lesson.
The mother is the true villain in this story then comes the father that did nothing.
As for the little sister, she looks too much like the mom so she might be their bio sis and it’s a translation error.
MC doesn’t HAVE to be nice to the little sister, the sister is innocent don’t get me wrong and would be great to have some relationship with her. But MC is too wounded by family, and expecting her to treat the kid with love and affection is stretching it. Not saying to treat her badly of course but staying neutral is an option.
My heart hurts for the MC, I kept insutling The mother, the mother, the mother and the mother then the father, as for the brat,just imagined myself smacking him until he apologises and learns better.
I am upset for MC so I might’ve gone off on a tangent
Nah, she’s just full of resentment and it all makes sense for her to finally put herself first. I thought it was too much in the begining because her life this time around isn’t as bad as her previous life, but as the story progresses, I actually understood where she was coming from. She’s not trying to kill anybody, she’s just no longer lowering herself and dimming her own light. I could go as far as to say that she has a superiority complex, but she’s really good at what she does so it makes sense. In the universe she’s in now, the only way to do that is by basically becoming the heir through underhanded means. I’m just curious as to when her father might accept the idea that his daughter could lead the family. The whole gender swap thing pissed her off only because it meant she had less rights than her brat if a brother by being a woman. I’m also curious to know what her relationship with her adopted sister will be like.
Yeah I almost dropped it too but the scene where she helped him out of sword lessons and he cried with happiness convinced me to persevere. Right or wrong, she still worded things in a super childish way whenever thinking about her bro or whenever arguing with him (I had expected much more adult-like emotions, responses and reactions from her at least during those arguments) which was getting super annoying. I was almost about to drop it too, but that scene convinced me to give her a chance, and so far she hasn't disappointed (at least, she's mature when dealing with the non-bro related stuff).
I think she holds a lore more resentment towards him mostly because of her past life, but then finding out her brother was essentially allowed to throw harmful magic at her without her being allowed to defend herself made me not care anymore about how childish she was with him.
I know, but that was the mother's fault, mainly. But since she was perfectly aware her bro was just a kid and besides he was suffering because of the situation too too, I would have first tried to properly reason with the kid at least once, wisening him up to the fact that their parents' educational system of "you the swordsman, me the flower vase" was outdated and making them BOTH miserable (even without throwing the whole "heir thing" into it, since it was merely a tradition, but not an unavoidable obligation, that dictated the family heir had to be a swordsman and not a mage, etc etc), and from there, recruited the kid's help in toppling that absurd system through CONSTANT REBELLION (they could use the example of the late empress as moral background to throw in their father's face, for eff sake). Then if reason doesn't work, implement the current method (but as a last resort, not the first option).
Yeah but she only recently remembered who she was in the past. So before she could remember those details, all she was, was the understanding daughter who bottled up her feelings. Plus she didn’t find fault with her mother’s mindset because she only knew their world to have the correct mindset (with her being a flower in a vase idea). So while she just regained past memories, it makes sense for her not to have room for grace or compassion because she spent the better part of her life just enduring it. Her resentment and childish behavir feels like the most natural thing I’ve seen considering all we know now.
Exactly. That's why I endured even though I found it all so annoying. The fact that she's finally giving the kid a chance showed she was finally outgrowing the harmful sides of her mindset (I am all for less hating and more practical discliplining, like older sister Regina does with her bro Theor in in "Second Life of a Trash Princess": she has a special baseball bat-like thing called "The Club of Love and Justice" made, to "lovingly" discipline her obnoxious crown prince of a lil brother **cough* beat him up in the butt * cough** every time he behaves in a manner improperly). https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/second_life_of_a_trash_princess/uu/br_chapter-112648/pg-1/
Just want to say, I didn't really MEAN to imply she was actually a villain or anything, second I'm not dropping this, just wanted to pause where I was, partially because I really like bingeing stuff. Third, it's good to know she starts being a lil nicer to the brother.
Yeah, the mothers the biggest issue, like honestly I hope mc DOES end up the heir, in most Female Lead games the mc ends up marrying into another household, would LOVE for a suitor to instead marry into hers for once. Now, I'm gonna pick up from where I'd left off, and catch up to the latest chapter. (=・ω・=)
Auto corrected things to games for some reason... ihml
It works out well in this story since the love interest seems to be the second Prince. Becoming a Duke would be nice for him.
If I have a brother and father like that I'll also want to destroy them and more lol but welp they did not really did anything evil or anything so I'll just would probably want to take over everything right under there noses
She's not their little sister
Not biologically, but she will be once she’s adopted.
This sorta feels similar to "I'll save this Damned Family"... Anyone else?
...
Idk chubby fl, with ginger hair that isn't REAL ginger, and freckles, with a goal being getting skinnier... I like both tho...

I like the fact it didn't do a full dive on the capsule thing. It actually makes it a bit more unique and shit that what he does in the Murim, has a bit of effect on the hunter irl world.
Regardless, it does feel like it's having its cake and eating it too. Dungeons hunters modern day world with magic, was/is a trending type of story, due to various factors, but included is certainly the success of Solo Leveling(not comparing it here, just stating)
Murim, is a widespread, but more niche story type, which has common and easily foresee-able tropes, The mc most times wins through some bullshit awakening halfway through the battle, but then, oh no, their next fight is against someone who is either a- Just there to show off again how much stronger they were than 3 chapters ago when they last had a training montage and got 'stronger' or b- is exactly on the same level as what they just got to. Ad nauseam.
With the merging of these, it allows each part to breathe a little, we dont get flooded with grinding out dungeons and murder hobo hunters and side characters getting left in the dust after being reduced to a singular stigma. But we also dont really get the training-fight-awakening-training loop for longer than it should go on, we dont get continuously stupider op martial arts that are 'the best' only for them to be forgotten or absolutely shattered by whatever comes next, we dont get Isolation training timeskips just to give an excuse for the mc to grow stronger, and then have them meet someone conveniently either just beyond where they are or equal to them in strength.
It's good, and it kinda keeps you on your toes, whilst still being a little basic in execution.
Mc kinda feels like he's being melded into a combination of the murim dude and himself, like yeah, he had some sass b4, but he was seemingly(to me) depressed and kinda eh, meanwhile murim guy b4 him was a right sassy dickwad, who despite what he'd been doing more recently, looked like a once normal(for murim) kid, he just drowned himself in pleasures, maybe to evade something mentally, or because of pressure. This comes across to me especially when he interacts with his 2nd brother in murim, that's the attitude of a younger brother in full swing, istg, but... the only sibling he seems to have is his younger sister, so he shouldnt fit so damned easily into that kind of role, it feels like there 'should' be some friction.
The only thing bad with this, is...
I want to see more of the children he saved, there was a clear significance in the fact he saw himself in the young boy, so when I next continue reading this, I hope we get to see a bit more of them, and for the love of god if this becomes a harem(even if it's only in one of the worlds, or sum) I'm going to pull my hair out, I dont have a problem with ROMANCE, in fact I LIKE it, but... please dont let this have fallen to the one trope that I dislike from both of its genre's
