Ch 44 had me laughing from her full on analysis of politics being words that cut, to her heavenly eyes, and how Aries is closer to being a true brother.(づ￣ ³￣)づ
I was really soaking up the encouragement that the FL was giving the MLs…I mean the world of athletes is often cut-through and when they aren’t able to meet performance or weight goals or get seriously injured it’s like all their hard-work didn’t matter. I loved how she told the more serious ML that trying his best is all that matters and that he can easily be a professor or coach…the same with the cheery ML.
Seeing is not believing when denial is present. I was thinking FL wanting to mate with her same species is expected plus she watched the ML grow-up, so she never planned on seeing him as a mate and there’s the fact that he’s an apex predator. But, she watched ML masturbate while calling her name and he even invited her in…and is “holding back” till she comes around. They both will live a long time, have an age gap, and there’s no way he’s allowing any other male anywhere near her. There are some positives, he does genuinely care for her and considers her family, he’s thoughtful of her needs, and makes for a great protective.
Doya’s pouty face is adorable, my wish is that So Won will slowly pick up on his little gestures. He’s seeing that there’s something special about her linked back to his prophetic dream and suddenly being more foolish for her.

I like finding out more about supernatural politics and social constructs. I hope to see werewolves, fairies, and wizards, and there is complexity with a whole human being born from angel parents like Jyheun (blondie) or a demon in an angel family like Doya where his uncle is an angel. And I’ve been thinking about the FL’s father possibly being an angel…so maybe hybrids don’t exits in this would you’re one or the other? Also what was interesting was Doya’s narrowing down what his dream meant: sexual attraction (nope), curiosity (unsure), love (there was an image of what looked like another woman—past love?) I like that the FL is spontaneous and she used first-aid. When she made her wish isn’t word to the wise to be more specific, it was kinda funny how lighthearted she made exchanging a soul for a wish.
When I was reading the summary, and I may be totally wrong since it’s been forever since I read Romeo and Juliet. Even though R + J’s story is classic, what always stood out to mean is that R was supposedly head over heels in love with another girl before Juliet ever came into the picture. I think her name was Rosaline, then when he saw Juliet all that love evaporated…I mean not only was it teen love, family fued, but how strong can your love be Romeo if you fall so quickly? So maybe this is the untold story of the girl all but forgotten.
I’ve heard the saying but ML is a real one! It always gets me when someone says don’t leave the hickies visible, in this case wouldn’t it sell their mad love to everyone? Also like the moments when we get to hear the FL thoughts and the ML thoughts for extended times. For instance, the FL likes the ML’s intensity and is drawn to him like a moth to a flame and so is the ML. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
It seems that only Seria is concerned about Lina… I’ve seen it commented and I thought something is very wrong with whoever reincarnated/isekaied as Lina or even if that is the OGFL because dark vapors coming off in droves does not usually mean the divine. She saw it again in the temple, yet she keeps thinking that she needs to help her. Let her sink on her own and don’t worry your poor husband that literally handed you a weapon to kill him should he even think of marrying Lina. And don’t get me started with the 2nd ML…you blew two prime chances to be with Seria and now you’re over here getting contaminated by your obsession…boy please be with your wife when she returns. (●￣(ｴ)￣●)
I love that when it comes to the FL he blushes and gets so adorable, I bet his mercenary friends would have a heart attack. I think her story about how she lost her childhood memories is what happened and I hope he recovers the ones with him at unexpected times, so he can be, “wait you remember that?” ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
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.
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.
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.
Ch 10 shows what the MLs are like regularly but I like how natural it all seems and what a joint date looks like for them. I guess it helps that they’re so close to begin with, I mean I don’t know many besties that have their first time together. They all talk through what they’re going to do, and it’s funny that the FL often talks about showing them grown-up stuff then they expand on it. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
