that she is an archmage?? All she did was copy a ritual in a book she found? He doesn't know if the talismans have actual power or not.. does he? Can he see it?
He saw it and the maid also recognized it as magic. And like he said only three beings are capable of magic. And in the way she created magic from a fake book is telling
How is cesar more interesting and 3-dimensional than the ml? I mean, I usually loathe the stories where the fl goes back in time and ends up with the dirtbag who betrayed her in the first life, but here I am so much more intrigued by cesar... he has a lot of potential as a character, I would like to know why he did what he did in the past life.
I agree. He's better-written and more colorful than the generic softie ML Alfonso
To all the people disliking this post, I didn't say she should end up with cesar. All I hope is that we get good writing for cesar to do the character justice, either as a villain or as someone who will be redeemed later
you'll come to hate him in the future.....ceaser is a true piece of shit I can't even justify （￣へ￣）
He has personality and not forced to play the goody-two-shoes prince act.
I mean, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll become a less interesting character.
I believe OP was talking about him as an interesting character, regardless of his morals and/or role in the story.
I don't get your point or why you are paraphrasing the OP...
Ohmygod it was a mispressed reply VSHSHSHDHSHSH SORRY （/TДT)/

I understand....even I had the same thought....but after reading the chapter in novel where he was an absolute garbage....just his presence irritates me like hell.....he is indeed an interesting character.....but is a dirty one....and i just hate womanizers(〜￣△￣)〜
Yeah,yeah, yeah.. Cesar is a dirtbag and will never be more than scum! Peridot!! (︶︿︶) LOL But… there’s always a BUT… I still don’t think Ari should be with Alphonso either b/c she was the same as Cesar in her past life, too!
Good point! We know her motivations, so we are rooting for her to end up with alphonso even though she was his murderer in the past life. But for Cesar we don't know anything about why he did it, and his character in this life isn't a 2d villain. He might also have had reasons like the FL did. Then that means both of them don't deserve a second chance.
Right, right!
I am loving their dynamic and relationship (so freaking trusting and sweet with each yet so much chemistry). But I am having a hard time piecing together his entire plan to save raviel.
So he first starts by killing her repeatedly... and then killing himself repeatedly... and somehow losing his memory.. after negotiating something with the tower owners... I am too stupid to understand how this scheme works in the entirety. I guess its due to the weekly releases, can't remember each detail of what happened before
I'm also a bit confused, but I understood this much:
1. Make her love him and become the new worst trauma to her by replacing the old one about the prince. (The trauma technically shouldn't be replaceable because it was tied to the sword that she struck through her heart and which is keeping the loop going.)
(1.5) Take a gamble and believe in the tower masters in order start the next part.
2. Make the character synchronizing reach near 100% and get killed a before the first 24 hours in this epic/story are done.
3. Get called to the tower master discussion to argue that the control of identity should go to the character/butler in the story, so that the butler could have Gong-ja's ability to go back in time every time he gets killed. (Adding that she should also be able to keep her memories to ensure their love will prevail)
4. Discussion success!
5. Return as a butler before the epic starts with a strong sense that you have to see her and go to her
6. She kills the butler after confirming that he inherited Gong-ja's ability by seeing something in the character window (jumpled up Gong-ja's own interests that we had already seen previously)
7. Every time butler/Gong-ja gets killed he repeats the killer's worst trauma as we already know. In this case, it is the memories and experiences they've had together and their love. Every time he gets killed, a piece of his memories will come back.
8. Repeat killing until we get our lovely MC back <3
9. Since he managed to go back in time to before the story started, they managed to "prevent" the time loop and getting her heart struck by the sword. (Technically though they artifact-sword-whatever was still used and thus the other constellations will still try and invade the place they're at. Because if I remember correctly it somehow had presented that until now?)
10. She is saved! Happy end! Or something!
Oh wait the "going back to before the story started" happened AFTER the discussion with the tower masters! Just remembered
He killed both himself and her repeatedly at the same time to regress to the first day of the trial, which is the day he first became the butler. He have to keep killing her to keep both their memories of him intact since she’ll go back to seven days prior whereas he only go back one day. After they successfully went back to the first day he asked her to start kissing him and love him more to make his immersion rate of the butler goes up (I think it might not be very obvious in the manhwa but his immersion rate increases because the og butler actually had a crush on Raviel as well). When immersion rate reaches 99% he became the butler and forgot his memories, thus leading to him calling Raviel the Duchess and asked if she had kidnapped him (this became Raviel’s trauma and broke her heart). She did as he asked and killed him which results in an error as the tower can’t determine to regress to a day before in the butler’s pov or Gongja’s pov (if it’s from the butler it’ll go back one day before in that world which is what he’s aiming for. If it’s from Gongja it’ll go back to the day from before they enter the stage). So the top dogs in the tower all gathered for a conference to decide which they should go with and Gongja have to convince them to go with the Butler’s pov since he wants to go back in that time to prevent Raviel from stabbing her heart and become a constellation. He succeeded and also asked for the Tower to give him a reward for Raviel to keep her memories of him. So he went back in time in the butler’s pov but his memories are still gone since he’s still 99% the Butler. Since Raviel knows about Gongja’s skill and how he can see the trauma of the ones he’s killed by, she made him her trauma and showed him her memories by killing him again and again until it lowers the immersion rate back to when he’s Gongja again (I forgot if it’s 80 or 90% but are there). There’s just still one issue remaining which is that since there isn’t a constellation(Raviel didn’t become one) protecting their world now other constellations will still invade to seize control of that world and thus they have to fight them off. Now that he’s back he proposes and they’re getting married on the day the constellations will invade (which also is a calculated move btw will reveal during the fight when it have to be that day of all days). That’s all, hope this helps you understand it better!
Ohhh, spelled out like this it all makes sense. Damn, the author really can write an incredible story without any ex machinas. Incredible, how it is so clever and also so engaging at the same time.
Nadia made more progress than the ML did in 100 chapters (⌒▽⌒)
When that slow burn romance is too slow haha
People don't mind the stories where the regressor is a victim of their father's behaviour (I've read multiple where their fathers neglected and then executed them), but then acts to win their father's love and affection, and then all the shit he pulled on the regressor is forgiven and forgotten. The father is often attractive in the story, and has a sad backstory, so it is made to seem natural that he should be forgiven for killing their child the first time around.
Firstly, to achieve this, the regressor, the VICTIM, has to act to win the affection of the parent to not be neglected. Which, if you think about it, is a horrible idea. A child should never have to act and plead and scheme to just be loved by their parents. Doing this makes it seem like the kid is at fault if they don't try to act cutesy to win their parent's love, when really, the parent is the piece of shit.
Secondly, the ONE time I've seen this happen to a mother, in this story, where the mother is the regressor and knows she is thoroughly guilty and continuously trying to find redemption, it is met with such hostility by the readers. In ALL other stories of parent abuse/neglect, there is one moment of regret (if the parent realises at all), followed by the kid reassuring the ADULT PARENT that it wasn't their fault.
Low key I feel like internal misogy plays a part of it and people see a beautiful female character doing smth horrible then try to change and they’re like nahhhh you don’t deserve it like you said there’s plenty of neglectful fathers in villainess stories and people just fall head over heels for them just cause they’re handsome
That's so realllll Even though that kind of troupe is popular I'm quite irritated to read those especially when the plot is just a mess. I can't believe others have perceive the mother as someone who doesn't deserve a 2nd chance. This story even already dive in to the realistic psychology of abuser and victims, should've be taken in some consideration at least compare to others stories where one is easily forgiven because they got enchanted/possess or smt.
literally SO FUCKING true
ML: "I would do anything for you, I treasure you very much, and please rely on me more, coz I want you to be safe no matter what."
ML: hugs and kisses and complements relentlessly.
FL: ... I'm sure he wants to divorce and go separate ways. What could these words of love and affection possibly mean?? （￣へ￣）
I think there is a limit how dense someone can be. FL passed that limit many times. Tiring. ╥﹏╥
For most of the first half of the story the Omega lead is the one to sympathise with. The alpha pos is openly condescending, and he truly likes jihyuk. Now, retroactively, to make the alpha ml be the plausible answer, the author makes the omega ml do horrible things (which goes against his character due to him being discriminated as well).
It is obvious that there is no way the omega was gonna win, ergo the character assassination. I HATE THIS WRITING. Why do authors always do this?
Finish the job yourself, don't smile at him, then seize power and find your boy. Don't effing call for a medic for a lost cause.
