First of all, why the author had to make Anna come across as a damn fool too?
The way Anna is acting makes no damn sense at all. Sis is behaving like she mind wiped all the times Lily been f**king the Duchess. Or like she's living in denial about Lily's sex life and desperate to go back to their old life... it's crazy tbh. And yeah, I know that Lily saved her when she was young so Anna will always hold Lily in high regard, but damn why does Anna seem like a simp and a cuck?!! This shit doesn't even feel believable at all....
Secondly, welcome to our weekly episode of Lily ain't shit. I'm not gonna lie, her internal dialogue was complete f**kery. Given the lapse in time, it seems like neither Lily or Anna did anything about their situation as a pair. The Duchess literally turned Lily into her personal sex slave, and Lily seemed too okay with it all talking about "heaven" ヽ(`Д´)ノ
From what I understand, Anna's kinda turned a blind eye to it all. Maybe she even avoid certain places like the Duchess' room since ya know.. she prob doesn't want to see THAT happening. Like how she left the garden when Duchess started doing stuff to Yuri.
I think maybe she's thinking in her own frame of mine... Like "oh I'm forced to let this happen bc I'm just a maid and can't do anything... And Yuri is forced to accept bc our household sold her or something..." So she thinks Yuri's trapped like her and would escape asap if given the chance. Well, let's see if Yuri can think with rationality or be swayed by Horne cave woman brain
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I get what you're saying but I find it extremely hard that ole girl can feed herself that info meanwhile the person she loves it's being ran through day and night for months. Even if she chooses to avoid it, it's not like she doesn't know it's happening. Like that's a whole other set of delusion going on. Also, realistically if I was Anna, knowing all that shit is happening even if I was dumb enough to still want Lily after that there is NO WAY in hell I'm secure enough to think Lily is gonna wanna come back to me. Anna refused Lily any sexual kind of intimacy and Lily is indulging so heavily into her little sex haven with the Duchess, like how you gonna get her back when you ain't willing to do anything with her? Lol does Anna expect Lily to come back to her like the past few months was nothing and when she wants sex she gotta beg Anna for it? Or sneak out to visit the Duchess. Or is it now that Lily been turnt out Anna is willing to do the deed if they leave together? I was all team Anna in the beginning but after this chapter I hope Lily tells her adios
Yeah the pacing of the story doesn't go well at all with what they choose to depict. Feelings wise there seems to be gaps that dont make sense. Like what do you expect us to think? The only attempts of a convo between them went no where so what now? Poor way of writing what happened during the time lapse.
Bruh when I say my mind did a whole lot of mental gymnastics this chapter I swear I'm not even joking. The first 2 and a half pages my brain must've been off or on sleep mode because nothing much was happening at all up there. Then from page 3, my imagination instantly took flight and got the best of me...
I went from thinking "aww damn, poor Anna really didn't deserve any of this"... By the end of page 3, I was already fuming and thinking "nah Anna needs a whole villain arc to end this bish". And from that point my entire mood changed to "I won't be simply satisfied unless a switch flicks in Anna's head and she sleeps with the redhead and wages mental warfare on her and f*cks her over (╯°Д °)╯╧╧". Page 4, I start feeling sorry for Anna all over again and I'm like "keep it together sis, stay strong... don't cry, you got this". Then my mind wonders off like "damn, I'm sure a lot of people will downplay the seriousness and angst/pain of Anna even having to see, touch, and deal with Lily's clothes that's covered in the redhead's lipstick and her knowing what Lily did the night before"... By page 5, I'm like "stfu Blondie, not now... we don't want to hear it, keep your explanation to yourself or for another time". Then on page 6 when she starts demanding to know where Anna went, my brain immediately hits me with a flashback of a previous chapter where Anna questioned Lily if she left the bed, and Lily had indeed woke up and snuck off to go see the Duchess but *LIED* to Anna about it. Not that this is relevant at all, but just found it ironic and felt she had the audacity to ask her after all the shit she's done so far . Anyway on page 7 all I could think was "don't show any weakness Anna tuck them feelings in a box and put that box in a corner, don't go easy on her".... and "really Lily? You thought she was gone forever and you were so scared you tripped and fell, and somehow ended up naked and landed in bed on the Duchess' fingers..." Mehhh, anyway by page 8, I'll admit I was lowkey happy that the redhead came to interrupt... to be honest, I feel it's a little too soon for Anna to listen to the bs of what actually occurred and how little Lily's "love" for her really means. I know, her learning the truth of why it happened is very important, but to be frank, Lily also needs to learn an important lesson here, so forgiving her right away shouldn't happen. Plus sometimes when you're hurting, it doesn't do much good listening to explanations because you sometimes aren't in the right state of mind to even properly process it. Page 9, I'm once again seriously side-eyeing Lily, because what's up with her behavior? The fact her maid isn't really gone forever and she just heard she only left because of servant duties, aka meaning you were lied to and bamboozled into having sex and declaring your love (sidenote: still can't believe she said she loved her)... why are you not behaving differently towards the redhead yet? Surely, she can't be so stupid to have not realized the situation yet :| Anywho, by page 10 and 11 I'm over Lily and the redhead, all I can think is "Anna let it be, you can't undo what happened between them, so if they are gonna do it again it really won't change anything... besides the two of you aren't even together. Just don't let them turn you into a cuck though " . Page 12 my mind is screaming "Anna please choose violence. Take that dagger and stick it right in her chest" metaphorically of course. Now let her feel like "You don't want her and the Duchess can keep her for all you care", and "I hope Lily is marinating in how it feels when the person she "loves" accepts the situation as a simple loss and doesn't even try to fight for her in any way"... Page 13 - 14, I know Anna is clearly upset and hurting a lot but all I'm thinking is "Good job Anna. Lily put herself in that position so let her face whatever consequences comes with it. Don't save her."
After sharing my initial reaction to this chapter, I feel like I'm way too invested lmao. And reflecting on some of my commentary, I'm highly questioning if I need to seek out therapy and work through some stuff . But anyway I just want to put it out there that I don't actually hate Lily despite what my comments make it seem like...
I'm just not going to let this manga gaslight me into accepting bullshit like I'm supposed to feel sorry for Lily and believe she should "quickly/easily" be forgiven, and go on my merry way happily shipping her with Anna JUST because she's gorgeous, hot, cute, innocent/pitiful looking etc... (nah f#ck that) and JUST because it's Yuri and they are supposedly meant to be the main couple.
Nah, no way... I'm simply not okay with her stupidity level/naiveness and impulsive behaviour. Maybe if the author wanted people like me to feel more sorry for Lily*** then at least write it in a better way, so we could connect more easily... you know like pacing wise could've made it where some time had passed between Lily meeting the Redhead and then building some form of believable relationship/rapport where Lily could trust the redhead and Anna was indeed gone for a few days or more... maybe an ambigious note was left or something... but nope, this is what we got, and with the way it is, although I can understand she was fooled and recognize that she was a victim in that sense. I'm unable to give her a pass for her actions, especially when there was a lack of effort to do anything BUT sleep with that redhead. Yes, the redhead lied to her but even calling the lie manipulation feels like a gross exaggeration or misuse of the word... So, yeah I won't defend her actions and believe she deserves to suffer a little for her poor judgement. That's the hill I'm willing to die on AND I do hope Lily gets a beautifully written redemption arc for all this f**kery
The redhead is diabolical and Lily is such a damn fool omfg
plss the auth js making another bad thinking diary pt 2 w another damsel in distress woman that can't think for herself and is swayed by the happenins around her. hoes like her think everythin should happen exactly how she wishes it, did she consider anna's feelings? do you think if anna and lily switched places they would've acted in the same manner? nNAHWW CAUSE ANNA GOT CLASS, her love is true, lily's feelings felt so wishy washy, did people forget love was a 2 way street? have you ever put 10% of the love anna has showed for you, did you bother even chasing after her?? now i js KNOW hoes brainwashed by lily's beauty goin come after me, but IDCCC LMAO prove me wrong.
Lol I get the "dumb damsel" angle... however Anna needs to throw that whole girl away. Imagine thinking "man, I love this woman I'd do anything for her"... you guys have one little conversation that doesnt go well, then you get tied up outside running a simple errand like posting a letter... then when you get back, suddenly you hear the ver6 person that you love having wild sex with your boss and telling them I love you
THIS!! Like.. where did "I only want her" go?? LMAOO. like if someone told me my SO cheated or left I be like: "u lying. I'd trust my SO more than u fgirl-who-tryna-get-in-my-panties." I'd also prob wait at least a few weeks to see if they'll come back lmao ans be too hurt to start anything w anyone for a while.
I agree that she's prob REALLY SEXUALLY FRUSTRATED bc it sounds like they've never done anything although they took baths together xDD so it's her horny controlling her rn. Hayyyz Lowkey the maid should've seen the warning signs and railed her ASAP. Just think of it as providing "service" for Ur lady or something if that'll ease Ur guilt lol xDD
Bruh my brain is not braining!
Everytime I see the mom trying to kiss Kay my brain cant handle it. Even though I know it's really the Demon Lord in Kay, inside my head be like... Gasps how can you look at your daughter with such eyes lady?! xD and her saying she really looks at/considers Kay as her actual daughter makes it so MUCH worse... like wasnt you just ready to makeout with her (⊙…⊙ )






I'll say it again, I really dislike how they've made Anna's character come across as pathetic these last couple chapters. I hope Lily stays with the Duchess. In chapter 1, Lily made it clear to Anna she doesn't like living at home. She's not happy there. She went as far as saying she'd be the Duchess' sex toy. I don't know why Anna believes Lily will be interested in going back into an environment she hates. And it's shows just how desperate Anna has become with begging Lily to leave with her. Imagine begging someone to go with you after you sat there pretending like you didn't care or knew about what was going on with their sex life... SMH, I hope Lily doesn't go anywhere. And if Anna is as desperate as she looks maybe she can stay too and share Lily. I can see the Duchess being more open to sharing if it means Lily will stay.
I feel like the dutchess likes the chase but once it's a routine she gets bored.
Not sure you can call that a chase. And now Lily and Anna has been a couple for six months. I think it's just the horrible pacing and writing that is the problem. But I think Rose is suppose to love Liliy now.
