That usually readers love the FL and think she can do no wrong, but people are going to far here to condemn literal kids and defend the adult who is using them.
The FL is smart but flawed, and readers disliking some things she does is okay. Everyone can form and air their opinion on a story, that's what a story is here for. If a story isn't discussed and doesn't make readers form their own opinions, it is simply a bad story. So the readers who point out that they do not agree with the FL's actions shouldn't be asked to just stfu and stop reading if it bothers them.
so while the FL isn't an idiot and is in fact an interesting character, she has the same character flaw as penelope. She will use people with impunity and discard them as it suits her. Worse actually, coz she, an adult, is using these 6-12 year old boys who are immature and a byproduct of their surroundings. She knows Ash didn't plot or instigate anything against her, but because in the book a much older version of him executed the character she is possessing, she will imprison him as a kid.
I think what a lot of people are looking over is the main reason why she has chosen to imprison Ash.
She explained it quite well. He's Ash terrifying to keep next to her, dangerous. He isn't trustworthy, he's duplicitous and quick to bite the hand that feeds him when it suits him best, all while portraying the facade of a perfect and loyal dog.
This is showcased at such a young age, and yes she is comparing him to how he is in the future, but this is due to the fact she sees him as a lost cause. He is acting currently like his future self does, telling her that whether his actions are a product of his environment or his nature, he has been this way for a while and is not something you can easily teach out of them or tame.
And the most dangerous thing, he does all of this whilst having the ability to kill with no remorse.
Tell me how many of you would want to keep a psycho child as your loyal dog.

Fr like, I get how he'd be terrifying as an adult, but he's a child. There's little to no animosity or premeditation behind his "betrayals", he simply does whatever he can to survive. She's older in the body of a child so it makes sense that she'd forget normal children aren't as "smart" as her, but still poor kids...
He is a criminal. He did, indeed, set the food in fire. He did, indeed, plot to have her murdered. He did, indeed, betray his people. He did, indeed, conspire to a riot. O-O Just because you are kid does not mean you are dismissed from being charged for Arson.
for arson, conspiracy and attempted murder*. He commits crimes and whines about being judged. Excuse you, if a child were to set fire to my house, you bet I will call the cops and press charge for damages.
Yeah, but there is a reason 8 year old kids aren't tried and punished as adults. Especially when they are starving out of their mind and are promised food. I know that they are going with the angle of 'he is without conscience even as a kid' to justify the FL's actions. That's why they showed him angry when FL said he will be imprisoned, instead of showing him despairing which would've garnered him sympathy.
But maybe its just me, I don't understand how the FL, being an adult, has no qualms punishing and 7/8 year old to life imprisonment. Not to mention, she freely exploits oleg and her fiancee's affection for her while being extremely cold and calculating to them. They are KIDS, she is an ADULT.
0) Juvenile Prison/Court is a thing.
1) This is not the XXIe century.
2) He is a commoner.
3) He is a refugee.
4) He was hungry. He burned the food. He was hungry. He killed someone. Starving out is not a legitimate reason to commit reason... not it is an intelligible one for burning the damn food supposed to feed you.
5) Of course, he will be angry. Who like to be accountable for their bad actions? He made so many bad decisions, but he feels no shame nor remorse. He only feels bad to the "lady" because his life is on the line.
6) Garnered him sympathy? Is the MC running a charity to you? To the point of recruiting a stabbing b1tch?
7) Are you reading the story? Ash committed arson, attempted murder, and plotted against a house? These are CRIMES. And she never said that she would jail him, she would let the law settle scores with him, cause he is indeed a criminal. HE SET A FIRE TO A WHOLE CAMP!
8) Oleg needs discipline. He was a freackin' bully. I can tell the MC has a soft spot for him. She truly sees Oleg as a kid with Daddy issues.
9) For the fiance, he is pushing his luck. She rejected him more than once, he is the one desperately tagging along her. She might as well make her time worth and gets some business done.
10) She is cold and calculating. That's how she is. Like, do you know what kind of story you are reading? The MC is not running for Saint of the Year. She has a mission! She has PRIORITIES.
11) Okay. You may call her an adult and the other, kids, but it changes absolutely nothing.
12) Being a kid does not mean that you are above the laws. He is a criminal! And arsonist on top!
Guess you don't grow in an Asian household (that's just my assumption dony take it to heart)
Look someone already said all of the things our kid did, and just by the look of it the supposed child wsnt even guilty of doing those things, just to gain what he wants, and still being a child if he got away with that then what would he think in the future? There's a higher chance he'd do it again. And in this Era bro would've been killed on the spot for such heinous crimes even if they're a child specially since he is one of the people who tried to kill a noble A NOBLE and locking him up is just pity enough
Lol, I'm very asian. Grew up in asia. But I do know that children are not to be punished like this when they are that young. If a child commits something that heinous, it means they need help and understanding, not imprisonment. And while in olden days this was probably not possible and children were probably punished harshly, the FL herself is a modern person. She has also experienced cruelty at the hands of adults around her. Then she of all people should absolutely not be mistreating the kids around her.

the author was given a few chapters to wrap up the story in. That is the only explanation for why the story time-skipped into the climax. Its a shame, coz this is really really good. Given more time it could've been way more popular too
I LOVE THIS ANGST!!! It feels so real and authentic, not manufactured due to unnecessary miscommunication or the ML being a one-dimensional dickhead to the FL. This is actual creativity in writing. An actual plot and an actual reason for disagreement. This and 'Death is the only ending for the villainess' seem to be the only ones relying on characters' personalities and good storyline for angst.
Also, Kael is understandable in his request to move on, and not just focus on destroying diana. But DUDE, you cannot ask your current wife for sympathy and leniency towards your first love. That can only backfire. Especially since she LIVED through a timeline where she saw you die of misery at Diana's hands. The only possible conclusion the FL would draw is that you still love diana, because you still want to save diana even after knowing she kills you. The FL can only think all her efforts were fruitless, coz he is only ever going to love Diana
To add to this, i would like this angst to continue a while longer, and for Kael to work his ass off to earn the FL's love and trust back. Because if he can put in this effort to save Diana in 2 lifetimes, he should put in effort to earn FL's forgiveness. She deserves it.
It has more angst in the novel. You’d feel bad with Hess and get to understand more why she felt that way. If I remember it correctly, Kael didnt leave her and stood by her coz he got scared since he saw himself (in the past) with Hess, the pain she felt when Kael is trying to stay neutral.
what chapter is it in the novel?
Ff for what chapter of tge novel
Endless tomorrows, you say? What does that mean, arvid? Btw, if that was already explained, I forgot
It means he is immortal. It was insinuated when the only way to disappear a horman is by dying and the mc said how he was as cold as a dead body. Means he cant die
I knew it, hyemi was a bitch, the way she was always trying to hide how disgusted she was by Taejae's occupation and home. I knew she was horrible, and the kind that doesn't even realise how horrible she is.
Why is Hyemi a bitch exactly? Sure she was put off by Taejae's disposition, but it's not like she outwardly expressed her disgust. There's nothing wrong with feeling unstable in a relationship where your partner isn't well-off, love can't feed you.
She even tried to help him find a more permanent work path when the issue with full-time contracts happened. Taejae just didn't have the drive to build a life with her because he's the one pathetic enough to keep screwing an enagaged woman and using Hyemi as a rebound.
Afaik, this chapter showed Hyemi's disdain because of the post, and I think it's justifiable. Who on earth would hook up with someone who's engaged, and it turns out the boss you looked up to AND pushed you to date Taejae was screwing him all along??
If more flashbacks about Hyemi being degrading towards Taejae simply because of his life appear, then I stand corrected. But as of right now, she's someone who was unfortunately roped into this mess.
She hates him because what he did was shitty, not because his life is shitty.
lmao she's mad cause she's cheated :) how does that make her a bitch?
I'm talking about her behaviour before all this came to light. When they had only just started dating, she looked disgusted with his home, his job, him protesting with other janitorial staff. She was openly condescending without realising, pushing him to switch jobs coz she didn't want to be seen with a janitor. Also, he didn't cheat on her with FL, he started that relationship after their breakup. And he was too accommodating towards Hyemi too, when we can see her pushing him to leave his home, his job etc he didn't make a peep, he just does it. Coz he is very young (20/21 is barely legal), and he wants love and company so much he is willing to be the third party, and willing to leave behind everything. He has no pride or self-esteem. And both FL and hyemi see it, as they are both older, and they both don't hesitate to take advantage of it.
Also, I might be reading this wrong, but I think Hyemi will be revealed to be the one who created the post.
ML and FL allergic to thinking and planning? I'm glad the FL is showing a hint of a backbone, but at 70 chapters in, after making the same mistakes over and over again, it doesn't even feel cathartic.
He is tightening the noose around her neck. Creating articles to prevent her meeting and relying on the police, and causing her to lose her job. Plotting her brother's murder to stage it as a suicide. Creating a murder case where she would be the prime subject so she can't go on living her life without him. I hope she wises up and realises that he is isolating her to own and cage her. I'm rooting for the cop and her to team up and put an end to him.
Isn't a mindless jealousy machine like all other wish-fulfillment MLs in other OIs, but the portrayal of his personality and his love is so vivid and beautiful that he is the one all readers want. I simply LOVE that Carcel showed such sympathy and understanding for emiliano and the child he and ines once had.
and ines, I have to commend her for her fortitude and capacity for love. With all her suffering and how she is so jaded, she is still very much a person who loves carcel with all her heart. And she is a badass for having gone through what she did. All that I want for her now is for her to kill Oscar with her own hands, as cruelly as possible, and enjoy the rest of her life in peace with carcel.
