Quite a lot ahead…
Like many have said Edith knows how to handle herself in difficult situations, and that last line is so well timed and reminded me that before Killian went off to war and his father still hasn’t recognized her as a daughter of their house to be protected (and they’ll be battling her trashy bio fam)…and a couple times before when Edith was doubting her place with Killian he’d encourage her with, “what’s your name?” Even when he’s not there she uplifted with that and his heart she wears around her neck (necklace). And Killian recognized he’ll never get his father’s approval on anything and only calls him “your excellency” inserting the void between them that his father definitely made bigger…what’s wrong with that man saying his love is nonsense? His other daughter-in-law ha known the pain of being illegitimate and not being accepted by her family, it would have made her a better OG FL to recognize Edith’s suffering as a political tool of her family, I know the author is pressing for black and white storytelling, but it’s so much better if someone knew how her trashy family treated her.
Just some venting…
I get she didn’t want the obsessive ML route and wanted to help someone being auctioned off…nothen wrong with that I’m thinking the way she just hoped for the best as her bros carried her off was sad. Like I’ve seen maybe getting him a loving family that wanted to adopt a gifted child that needs healing from many traumas perhaps or begging her father to let him grow up alongside her as a friend her own age not her servant. Something other than… “be free and live a good life young one.” ╥﹏╥
Spoilers and venting ahead....
As the readers we see all things that happen and have to impatiently wait until certain characters realize what's going on or comes out of denial on their own since they don't have the same info. I liked those moments when Clodan reasearched his curse just to come up empty when he couldn't break it, when he genuinely told Ray he doesn't know what love is, while at the same time he allows himself to get swept up in whatever emotion takes him: rage, jealousy, and lust. It broke my heart a little when he allowed her to chase after the bunny, knowing she wouldn't want to harm while knowing he wanted to corrupt her. I also wonder about that little Clodan she saw in her vision that was trying to help her stay true to herself. Clodan masterminded Ray's grandpa to send her there for entertainment and didn't expect to like her lack of ultrerior motives and trust so much. She begged to be allowed to know what was happening, I understood not telling her at first but to keep her so in the dark is irritating. Should I not have the option to know I won't be human anymore? I like Ray but I wonder if there will be real character development for either since Clodan can be incredibly selfish and greedy, the beastly nature is coming through alright, but will this be a devastating end where Clodan is just as lonely because Ray hates him or prentends he doesn't exist, maybe she escapes? Or will she become strong enough to stand up to nonsensical behavior, give him clear ground rules for how he treats her and at least if he lies to everyone else don't lie to her, I want some taming and apologizing.

I get she doesn’t want people talking at work or seeing her as a cougar. I’m just sad at the moment, one of the MLs was always drawn to older women who would string him along while the other wasn’t particularly interested in anyone but wanted to help his bestie. They’re good guys and she’d make a nice partner for them. But, will she spend forever not considering the relationship with the 2 MLs as a serious/real one…and when she said they were her cousins. That really surprised me, I guess I pictured them telling the creepy guy off and saying something in regard to them living together and hinting at their relationship….and of course sex at some point. （￣へ￣）
Or maybe people would gossip about the fact she has TWO young boyfriends?????
Thats a possibility too…I’m with everyone though I’m hoping with my whole heart it’s a poly relationship but she’s giving me vibes that potentially she’ll pick one or neither of them.
Dw, next chapter they have a talk about it. The sex just comes first
Well Lux tried talking to her about what’s going on, plus she starved the poor lust demon he was being so patient. At the same time he hasn’t talked to her any further about his last partner that betrayed him, so they’re at an impasse.
I’m just gonna come out and say it. FLs mom, co-workers, and boss are just as bad as her ex- as I suspected… there’s no reprieve in sight. No one cares about her happiness or well-being. Like I don’t care boss lady what do you have to do that’s so important that you leave your heavily drunk employee in the hands of someone else or throw her in a taxi. I don’t care if he likes her, is he a person that respects consent or knows that’s she’s incapable of making good judgment on her state. I know there’s traditions and unrealistic expectations but there doesn’t have to be a competition between the MLs, it’s what they said… “Mom for the first time in my life I’m making my own decisions no matter what you say…I have 2 men in my life that I’m serious about and care about me…I’m happier than I was with that pathetic excuse for a human!”
Real life people are dogshit so very accurate chapter
*spoiler*
Uggh…I really liked seeing Doya’s past he’s just as adorable as he was before but I don’t know if angel/uncle-guardian protecting him from his pain is the kind of help he needs. I get it supernatural people live longer and Doya still loves Yeon, maybe he’ll give So won a chance (maybe she’s his past love reincarnated) but has he been able to grieve his past love. With the painful memories come the good and meaningful ones that made him who he is. Then So won she’s experiencing new things and making memories, it’s possible she’ll have the most growth since doesn’t suspect people’s intentions and has to find out what she wants out of life.
I’m guessing Viola doesn’t want Ivan to know how badass she is because Ivan is cute when he tries to save her. I think if anything he’d worship her even more know how good she is at swordsmanship. And her future brother in-law is a different kind of cute and strange…I can’t believe he just hand her the sword and watched! Like what?? I was laughing, then he wants to be her apprentice…her additional family is fascinating. But does his brother not have the curse of being aroused around women until he falls in love? Is it just the firstborn?
Usually when people are isekaied or reincarnated with the experience of their past lives they get to be wise beyond their years and lavished with praise. But with this reoccurring penalty that makes her act the age she is currently filling her past experience…I think it gives her an added edge that she needs to be a member of her family and prove herself while still having moments where she’s acting her age. It has helped her resolve the misunderstanding with her dad since a child often blurts out their thoughts and feelings, but with her mastermind bro Aries and the tsundere Ishion there was a need for both sides of her. It was a wonder to behold Aries joining the fold.
The main story changed so drastically due to her efforts on keeping him entertained without him steering straight into becoming a mastermind killer. The irony is that his step-sister already loves him and accepted him even with that sociopathy nature of his, but I wonder where things go from?
