I know there’s some real psychological stuff happing for both the ML and FL. I think the father staged the FL’s mom’s suicide and tried to convince her and mental clinicians that she was mentally ill, so she’s right to get a bodyguard at the least. The ML gave the impression to me that yes he’s dangerous but he’s constructed an image so that others don’t hurt him as easily, especially emotionally. His sweet tooth seems to contrast with his image which I always like and it would make me curious about him overall.
Lux is the sweetest and I’m glad he’s finally tasted happiness/peace in literal centuries…he’s claimed and all is at ease. But finally we check in on Pass and we see an unusual occurrence…a lust demon completely unsatisfied during an orgy. I didn’t know how he’d be with the distance from Hana and silent suffering…now that Lux is more grounded is there a possibility for a second partner? Ch 73 is bittersweet. ╥﹏╥
I’d hate a head of magic tower so much. The way all these people in the magic tower are treated is awful. Just starting off it has an interesting plot I can see what people in the comments mean about Kal and Yul’s behavior and how it can get frustrating after prolonged exposure. Kal never relenting in any way and Yul suppressing her true feelings/thoughts or not even recognizing thats what she’s doing. I can understand their behavior as defensive mechanisms, but Yul’s makes her suffer less while being jealous a little that she doesn’t put up some fight like Kal.

Creepy Hand + Floating Eye + Demonic energy= Adorable Master Extortionist Granny??
What was all that buildup? And now Hilda is armed with Holy water that she could freely throw and mad dash away instead of performing, but I wonder if it will be a weapon/defense or used to purify something to aid her, Pricilla, or Adrian. Then we go from Adrian’s illegal flirty face to him confronting his mother who may go on to become demon huntress once she’s a bit more stable. I want there to be a mending of their relationship, but keep playing around Mr. Devil and soon Hilda may well become a huntress too.
Question is. Is that holy water even legit??
I did wonder about the holy water as well since the priest was telling Hilda to be suspicious of Joanne (granny). But granny didn’t steal from her and seemed genuinely concerned about her at least even if she did steal money from the church. Since the system verified it as legit holy water I think it is unless the system is capable of lying. Σ( ￣□￣||)
I'm guessing she might use it to get through one of Adrian's 'tests'? Or possibly it's used to create an even more hopeless situation where it's either lost quickly/counteracted, just to up the stakes...
I keep thinking about the truth being stranger than fiction and Malcolm’s razor as I read. And I wonder if Bobae will ever believe her brothers. I keep getting the warmth from family dedication and acceptance of who a person is and maybe a closer look into a person’s actions instead of words alone. My favorite is Gwihan, I hope that he’s able to keep his sense of self and control the darkness of the demon lord’s power.
The way this story thrusts its characters from a modern world with regular crimes and everyday problems into fantasy/adventure with game style abilities is something else. When I read the promo at first I thought the oldest brother was missing for 6 years (what happened to him?), I had to think what a porter was for the second brother, then the youngest being in a coma also what happened and like their sister said why was he just volunteering outside so much without cleaning up after himself? The litttle sister was doing a lot and it didnt seemed her brothers cared so much for her well being. More pieces came together with the 1 ch, the world being wrecked and so much loss of life by creatures from other worlds that no one was prepared for, they all witnessed their parents slaughter before their eyes. They could have all died, the youngest brother shielded his sister from harm putting him in a coma, and suddenly the oldest was the main and only person able to work in their new world. It didn’t seem like any of them were able to really grieve and their coping with near death, parents death, and sudden powers in their own ways. I hope their family finds healing and their way back to each other along the way.
I think the puns in Korean are cute/sweet wanting to eat your favorite bread (dad, brother), I’m thinking it mainly is cute nonsense to anyone from this world. If she started teaching her fam/friends this new language it probably would increase the lifespan of their servants/staff. Aries keeps surprising me with his likability going up and down but still managing to stay in the 100s. I like that that when he comes to truly love his sister he may see the purpose of having a family that is supportive and genuinely loves you for who you are. That he doesn’t have to be completely by himself even if he takes over the family. Ishion had to see that she never gave up even when she could survive on their dad’s love, but Aries needs her resolve and observation skills. Everything isn’t about just liking her cuteness, he wants recognition, to be on his father’s good side to be the heir, and maybe spending time with a sibling isn’t so bad. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Don’t get me wrong I like this isekai storyline it’s quite different with the OGFL being an elf and starting with a bad end. I was wondering about how the FL said that this Otome is very difficult early on, meaning it’s easy to get bad ends. She played through the whole game before dying…I would have liked to know how her mom came to the bad end with the ML who was her father. What was the good ending for him? And even if it was a bad ending couldn’t he keep his wife and child in the palace and make that their cage…was he just about having an elf? I like the mage ML as daddy material. I don’t think I’d want to find out what his bad end would be.
So blondie is fake sweet because of his own personal issues coming from famous actors as parents and dislikes Doya. It’s a learning opportunity for the FL, she didn’t suspect the person who could be approaching her for the wrong reasons, whereas ML had been unusually irritable around her yes, but he’s been upfront and honest. I get she didn’t want his help but they’re co-workers as well, she could have been seriously injured just because she didn’t want to ask him for help. I’m still wondering/excited to see how they become a couple in the future.
One minute I’m meeting the emperor again and the crown prince who I really hope gets healed by Ayrin (lil dumpling)…next we’re talking about a personal tutor. Can we finish one thing first author, the adoption issue is still ongoing as well.
Yeah, ikr, it's like the two scenes have zero connection to each other (it's like giving the middle finger to "chapter cohesion", even if later on it turns out genius teacher boy can brilliantly come up with a life-saving cure for the prince... or... sth...)
That's what I was thinking..there's a lot of jumping around. I'm not bored but like you said the lack of cohesion lessens the impact. (〜￣△￣)〜
