everytime i see someone say "they have such a small face" in a manga:
( °-° )
I love how instead of being all sweet and cute, the uke is just brimming with of small dog rage; perfectly willing to fight someone 100xs his size. He is also very cute of course
Aww good for chaemin hyung, i thought he might be introduced later for drama but no he immediately got himself a little sidestory and a boyfriend
Normally i love when the story switches to the love interest's pov and we get to see what was going on in their head the whole time, but our beloved Jigu has been such an open book this whole time that spending multiple chapters on his pov felt a bit redundant... not counting the dirty dream tho, that was all new content ;)
Personally i think itd be more reassuring if glunn was like "im not taking you just because i wanna f you, im taking you bc youre the best alchemist ive ever seen and i need your help to break this curse. Me taking u out of country is in no way dependant on you reciprocating my feelings."
It seems more likely for a noble's feelings to change than ennid to just lose all his skills.
My guy this man is standing three inches from you're face and asking you to do it and your gaydar is *still* not going off? Damn there's a reason why this mf is still a virgin
So apparently there can only be one of either gender in this household, the duke cant possibly love 2 sons and 2 daughters at the same time? it still feels like he's playing favorites rather than just assuring his existing daughter that he'll still love her regardless. He's treating new bio daughter like she's encroaching on his favorite daughter's territory (she *is* doing that but he doesnt know that). So its just a weird vibe overall.
Also, does ravi just not have any daddy issues anymore???? Like in his other lifetimes he was so angry with his dad's bullshit that he tried to murder his brother, but now all his parental neglect is solved by just a bit of sisterly affection? And he's not at all jealous that his dad is now favoring her too (leaving Ravi as the *only* sibling who gets no attention). Like i keep expecting FL to either pressure their father to spend more time with ravi and fix their relationship OR to bring ravi in on the exit plan. So that even if they do have to leave the duke's household, they'll still be respectably well off with her mine and ravi's career as a magician.
And ps, are the two step siblings even legally his stepchildren at this point? His first wife was still alive when he married their mother, so if this world has bigamy laws then his second marriage would be legally invalid.
You just know they would be that highschool couple who makes everyone else feel *deeply* uncomfortable with their PDA
This guy's giving "was super gay for Dohu, but couldnt admit it too himself + Dohu never gave him the time of day so he bullied the shit out of him just to get a reaction"
Shes a bit dumb, but in a way thats believable for a noble thats never traveled solo before. Like shes highly competent at fighting, but she keeps getting robbed because she's not used to keeping track of her own bags.
And tbf, most of her troubles are caused by other ppl's beaurecratic fck ups, like the temple accidently marrying her off and the emperor's lackeys accidently putting a *bounty* on their empress' head due to a game of telephone
I really wasnt expecting to open a generic fantasy world shoujo and instead found a well written murder mystery. Aaaand the main character was not isekai'd in, nor did she regress or reincarnate. I love when a character is just allowed to be a genius without being a 40yo in a childs body or they just seem super smart because they know the future.
My only critisism of the series is that the title art really doesnt do it justice. Its not bad or anything, it just really hint that this is a shoujo murder mystery
Dude literally told his manager that a random coworker was fucking his boyfriend... ( ￣-￣)
I feel bad for the non vibrating takahashi who is having his name slandered like this just cause seme cant handle roleplay without breaking from reality
That toxic ex seems incredibly rapey with that mind fuckery power. Creep was already planning to do shit that required an alibi
Honestly i thought yeonji and the boss sort of had a thing going on but younghae is also adorbs
Im actually loving this misunderstanding bc its sooo funny to me that
mc is like: god i need to land this business deal while not letting on how gay i am for my client. Any sexual tension is probably just my own wishful thinking
While ml is like: i cant believe im letting this cheating manwhore seduce me like this. I gave my father's mistress so much shit, but now i too am going to be a side piece.
Its like one of them is playing checkers and the other is playing connect four, and i cannot wait to see how they handle the reveal
Im def gonna hafta reread the official release, cause whenever we get sihwa's pov the translation seems to get shittier. Like i can sort of get the gist but im half guessing.
Also this is one of the rare books where im actively hoping for a 2nd ml in order to humble this idiot
