oof happy i was able to read the correct translations. and am now up-to-date again with the latest. made me remember when there was a chapter with bad translations and it made me hate baron wilford for so long because things got so mistranslated to the point that it sounded like he didnt care about the women and just cared about getting the house where mildred and the girls are staying so all i misinterpreted everything he did as him just wanting to get something (and not as flirting lol)
at the end of the main story, in the cafe behind the main couple you'd see Lewis comforting a crying Nemu. guess they're the new side couple and also saw a new chapter(?) or story with them in it as well sadly the one i saw is not in english but having them is already good enough for me
edit: ok nvm it was a diff character who looked similar to lewis i think lol
I'm liking the story actually. it's not the same as the other villainess ones in how the story unfolds and the small details.
i feel like heroine(anna) is somehow connected to the chef(?) cause the chef seems like he's transmigrated as well. and maybe that's the makoto she's looking for idk. (also because i saw him at the cover of the spinoff)
love how heroine is not just the bad guy. there are also other bad guys (katarina and co)
how realistic(?) it was :
-for how people were punished for doing certain things. (detailed descriptions or highlights of sorts
-struggles and responsibilities of being part of royalty .
the small detail they give about the father son duo (king and louis) and how they an both be kind and merciful but also ruthless if need be.
how fast heroine (Anna) later realized that this isnt going to work. and even apologized to the villainess. (mind you the storyline of the novel/game hasnt ended yet so kinda surprised it happened and in a serious tone as well) she's not delusional like in other stories to the point that they still deny it till the end.
she clearly has a different goal in mind here. i dont think she likes the prince she just does it for the timeline /story /etc.
aka "a means to an end"
she's smart, like a modern person who's just testing things out (and not in a comedic way but more serious way), observing and not exactly super delulu.
that's also why she's not the one who spread the dark spirit rumors, it was the trio.
kinda curious if katarina will make a comeback
sad cause i also wanted to learn more about original Anna because she's the reason for Rachel wanting to change in the first place (albeit with Sarah's influence /words in the first life)
and Rachel's death and return to her 2nd life gave her more motivation to change for the better(and the rest is history)
excited how things will unfold
honestly i can see kaelus is just done with that past issue cause he's already healed
and she just want: REVEEENGE hahah
when i saw that scene happening my first thought was "maybe it was poorly executed and has poor flow of story cause i feel like it's diff from the novel" (I haven't read the novel)
checking the comments and i was right!
really tho changing the scenes slightly to shorten it to a few pages or chapters kinda changes the character themselves (in this story)











kinda spoiler but it's for those curious if they want to read it.
it's funny i love it. you read this with somewhat not thinking about it too much. it's also fast paced so it's fine to skim read / fast read it lol
and just see the whole story as just married people bickering (in a good comedic way)
peony makes you cry cause of how lonely it is but in someway the gyeok was able to understand how hard it is to be lonely even if it's for just a few hours/days.
as for the issue that others cant get over about the cheating (but not cheating since he did it with the emperor not knowing it's him) altho i dont condone it and I'm not saying excuses for it just stating what i observe. peony did it while thinking of gyeok he missed him thru black spirit, and lonely idk what else to say there. if you want to stop reading it then yea go ahead. but honestly you're not supporting anything by continuing till the end if you're just curious what happens.
overall they're an idiot married couple sometimes forgetting that they're pretending to be strangers while the other cant even tell that the other is the emperor like clark kent /Superman lol
think of it as a good refreshing read amidst all the long ass 4000+ chapter angsty toxic shits youve read
in the end they're able to fix things thru if that makes you happy
