Nephthys, you finally called Seth out on that awful shit he did in chapter 5, I'm so happy. I spent years calling you the worst mother in existence, and now both you and the author have finally put that topic to rest, giving it proper resolution and closure. I'm so happy I could cry... Motherhood is FINALLY vindicated. Kudos to all good mama bears in the world, who strive to look after their kids! Mamas are HOLY!
YESSSSS
I do agree with you but im kinda still salty on the fact that shes pushing it all on seth which ofc is valid but its not ljke the bars of the jail were locked or smth. She couldve left easily when anubis was physically abused infront of her and maybe come between them to shield him but she didnt. Also she too was a neglectful mother to anubis and its just now that I see her extreme reaction regarding hjm becoming god of death. Before this her indifference regarding everything was really sus. Yes she's a victim of extreme domestic violence but she still failed anubis in her own ways too I feel lkke and unlike seth or isis we haven't seen her character development properly. Isis was a better parent to anubis more than seth n nephyths lol in my opinion
Bro she was trapped in the mirror and she left just now
Half of her was trapped in mirror and dw im not glazing seth nor saying shes wrong or that I hate her. Shes very justified in everything. Just that I feel that she too in her own ways somehwere failed anubis. I mean the part outside couldve left the jail easily cuz its not locked anyway but she didnt which i ofc know is not because she didnt want to but ehhh I find neph sus a bit. She was about to reveal something but held herself back and there has been repeated hints abt her being osiris complice [maybe unwillingly] even before neing locked in mirror. It feels to me as if she knows things shes not letting us know yet
Hmmm ykw you're right in being suspicious when all the details have not been revealed so we don't know if she didn't have like even slight control on her body or not. What my interpretation was that her complete conscience was trapped in the mirror and the body in the jail was actually fake or like completely understand Osiris' control so that's why she didn't do anything but ofc I could be wrong
Isn't the only thing that was trapped in the mirror was her "love" for Seth?
I agree, that's why I'm saying "motherhood" (not Nephthys herself) is what's being vindicated. Nephthys herself still has A LOT of work to do (and I think she acknowleged some of that, when she said she'll need to spend the rest of her life atoning). But she finally said the one thing I had been CRYING to hear in this story: that only a "lobotomized" mother would agree to keep playing house with some d**head dude after she'd known him to inflict that kind of abuse on her child... (any other woman who chooses d** over their child's wellbeing no longer deserves the "mother" title)
That part of her wasn't just trapped, it was also *replaced* with a fake (to be explicit: it was replaced with fake memories of loving Osiris). This indirectly weakened her godly powers by making her commit infidelity. Committing infidelity weakened her godly powers because her godly power was to maintain peace, whereas cheating required actions that damaged the peace, like deceiving, lying, and keeping secrets, etc. Moreover, cheating while knowing that this ifidelity would provoke strife was also damaging for her powers because it was as if she was knowingly going against peace, given how she knew perfectly well that infidelity and peace are mutually exclusive, since infidelity can cause internal conflict.
I don't care if they beat you, blondie, you're a hero no matter what anyone says! (Just, um... please tell me you ALERTED THE POLICE before this... ... please) ┗( T﹏T )┛
This has already been updated till chapter 30 in other english scan sites. But anyway, I guess I'll just put a spoiler warning all the same, just to be safe. According to what we learn up till chapter 30, it seems that...

SPOILER WARNING ................
........................................
In the past, after Zachary (Bella's only conractor) betrayed and killed Bella, he then killed himself some time afterwards, a while after becoming the first emperor. But that is a secret only the royal family knows. There's a possibility that the silver-haired holy knight that now escorts Bella as the "saint's" guardian (the younger brother of current black haired crown prince) is Zachary's reincarnation (they've said in the story that Zachary has been reincarnated).
Also, in the past, when Zachary killed Bella, the long black haired dude, Ethan, also died, trying to save her, because the original saint blondie girl had sent him to try to help and save Bella from Zachary. But Zachary killed him. His death left the original saint blondie alone and pregnant with his kid, so the original saint lived the rest of her life hating Zachary until his death, and her child was the human Isabela's ancestor.
The original saint had also left behind a diary, that nobody has been able to read until now, because it's written in old divine language, but our current Bella finds it and it turns out she can read it. This diary has entries describing how in the past Zachary had been acting weird prior to killing Bella, and how he'd been talking to thin air and mentioning something about some "plan". The last entry in this diary that had belonged to the original saint was a message to Bella herself, as if she had known the future Bella would find it, where she told future Bella that none of what had happened in the past had been Bella's fault (in chap 31 we'll see if there was any more, along with that, in that one message).
So.... based an all this, anyone else getting the feeling that reborn Zachary's gonna be the ML?
I'm pissed, I don't want Zachary or his damn reincarnation to be the ml, but the novel cover says it already
oml ty im now debating whether i should continue to follow up and let this marinate or just drop this manhwa
So he was crazy but still had children?? I dont get it, how long after she died did he die?
No, I think it was just his relatives that continued the royal family line (no children).
I dont think that would have worked, after all when he came to have the crown thats when royalty was established, but his family wouldn't have been royals. So if he died the crown would go to one of the dukes that took part on the fight as they have 100% more right to the crown than anyone else
The black haired crown prince explains it that way in chap. 28, though: https://kingofshojo.com/the-villainess-i-possessed-is-raising-hell-chapter-28/
I see, the only thing I can say is that, that should have never happened and one of the dukes should have taken the crown. It made no sense for a collateral branch to take the throne when the dukes were okay and well. I dont understand why they were given the throne? But I wont read more ahead
Apparently they just gave the crown who has silver hair like Zachary
Lol just peeked at this again, just the latest chapter, chapter 66 (after dropping it bc of all the dark spoiler warnings about the novel version), but this was honestly really cute. It's like he's not just in it for the sexual aspect, he's kinda inlove, and it shows (kudos to the artist of this) so maybe he won't be as bad as in the novel? Hopefully?
My original post before I read chapter 30 + Post chapter 30's updated edit
BEGIN OF ORIGINAL POST (before chap. 30)
I don't even need to look for any spoilers to know what we will see on the next chapter (which will be chapter 30) based on the glimpses to their past that we've had so far: I can bet right here and now that what we'll get in the next chapter is the truth behind that glimpse of a flashback, the full scenario of that glimpse we've already seen, of an unspecified incident in their past, when there were servants seen going out of the house, in order to go look for her, while she was seen out in the rain, and then his dog had come at her, making her panic (reviving the trauma of her mother's death) and all her husband had said was, "well done," to the DOG... (not even noticing how she was absolutely terrified... did he ever even bother to find out the reason for her fear of animals coming at her? How it had to do with the trauma from when one of such animals had come at her and her mother, and accidentally *killed* her mother, right in front of her, back in her childhood?? Moreover: did he ever have any clue she had a deep-rooted fearful trauma about being approached by animals, if they did it all of a sudden?)
So yep, I can already predict it... I can bet that's what we'll see in the next chapter, with the rest of this flashback: how she ended up getting lost while on her way back to the house (after that walk along the path at the back of their estate) that day, and how the servants and he himself had ended up going out after her, too, later on, in order to go in search for her, and how this dude finally sent his dog after her trail, in order to find her, how it started to rain, and how when they followed the dog and finally found her, the dog came right at her, causing her to go into panic mode, but this azzwipe only thought she was overreacting, and he congratulated the dog for "doing a good job" in finding her... never realizing that the darn animal he kept beside him at all friggin times was the VERY reason she couldn't stop trembling whenever she saw him (since he was never separate from the darn creature, as if he couldn't take a single step WITHOUT taking the darn pet along, with him... How come you never noticed, azzwipe, how it was obviously the dog that she feared and disliked so much, and not necesarily YOU, you azz hole... how come in seven friggin years you never noticed that?? Or never realized the reason for your wife's trauma, or even a single darn thing about any of that?? Are you really THAT stupid???)
END OF ORIGINAL POST (before chap. 30)
EDIT: Now that chapter 30 is out, even if I was kinda right in my prediction, I can say I am a wee bit less mad now that I know he had a good excuse to send the dog after her (there were hunters in the area, so yeah "woman lost in the woods + hunters = an accident waiting to happen"), but still, that doesn't excuse killing her father, bro... even if they always ended up misunderstanding each other because neither of the two ever explained crap properly to each other... that only makes it WORSE how, instead of trying to talk any of it out with her properly, he went and got "revenge" at her by killing her father like he did... so no, this still doesn't excuse a darn thing...
^ This is honestly so realistic
are you telling me he killed her father while she was asleep?? TT
NOOO I'm just saying I like how you think cause I agree with your statement
I'm talking about the og comment. this person said "he got revenge by killing her father" and I'm asking if it's true or if i misunderstood ╥﹏╥
Nope, him killing her father was an indirect consequence of this, yeah, but it didn't happen immediately: it happened six years laet, after the same cycle of misunderstanding and resentment (that began that day) had repeated itself between them over and over and over, ad nauseam. What I meant was that neither the fact that he had been misunderstood by her on that one first occasion (when he had sent his dog after her for a "GOOD" reason), nor the fact that he continued to be "misunderstood" by her again and again later (if we're generous in believing him), can ever excuse or justify how years later he killed her father in revenge for all this (even if we're generous), because being misunderstood doesn't justify killing, let alone the fact that her father was an innocent party in all this, and someone who had no guilt nor blame in the misery that these two had due to that constant repetition of misunderstandings and resentments between each other.
Talk about parental neglect... No matter how much the parents and adults in this story finally get to sit down and *talk*, now... what a terrible track record they already have: here they are, barely confessing "secrets" that are more than 20 years old... without a clue that their "daughter" may have already been "replaced" by another person, in front of their very eyes...
When things are already broken, they are now trying to fix it. Why not realize it sooner dayum
Lol her face when he was explaining entropy hahahahahhah so relatable (that's me whenever I try to understand astrophysics). This chapter was hilarious because when the FL thought that Nia "seems to love yapping on and on" I was reminded of how I'd read, not long before in TV tropes, that Nia's "true self" has a reputation for inflicting 17-minute-long speeches on his poor human victims... (so much so that one no longer knows whether you should feel sorrier for them because of this, than for what this "evil god" dude allegedly actually DOES to them...) He loves his torture of the 'less evolved' by incessant monologuing, this dude. ROFL
Still like it, but now want to see the ML get his head out of his arse. The unsolicited touching almost made her fall down a cliff in this chapter, bc she unwittingly stepped backwards trying to avoid it...
Dude, this is getting ridiculous. You've seen her reactions, so either pull her away from the cliff behorehand or keep your paws to yourself altogether.
...And PLEASE tone down on the casually prejudiced, over the top, condescendingly surprised constant comments: "Ooooh so, you're really not afraid of the dark?? I totally thought you would be!! (cause you - unlike my competent female subordinate, right here- definitely look like a wimpy girl who only looks pretty and never learned to wipe her own ass...)" After the 100000000000 time, it stops sounding like a (clumsy) attempt at a compliment, or even remotely funny...
He is a character from H. P. Lovecraft's famous horror stories, and specifically... he is...

.... Nyarlathotep, (Nia.... Nya) a spawn of Azathoth, the "soul and messenger" of the Outer Gods. He takes the convincing guise of a tall, slim man on earth frequently and uses deception and manipulation to achieve his goals.
"He is also the servant of Azathoth, whose fitful, spastic wishes he immediately fulfills. Conversely, he seems to have a low opinion of Azathoth, as he once "struck his Master's head" in contempt, even while claiming to be his Messenger"
Holy- that's crazy
How did homegirl pull that
Not saying Nephthys is free of guilt in it, but... even though she could have easily backed her argument by bringing up Seth's role in causing kid Anubis' suicide, she spared Seth that one very sordid detail that she knows (because her "lobotimized" version had found it out) and which Seth is still pretty much unaware of: how his mistreatment of kid Anubis had caused kid Anubis to even commit suicide once, due to Seth's horrible mistreatment of him (it was revealed at the end of chapter 18, described in more detail in chapter 19, and shown in a flashback within flashback mid chapter 60).
