Maybe it's too early to tell, but we can assume the dude manipulated mc's whole life
And it's beyond unhinged
I like the art, but this has a very weird undertone that I can't get pass
It's like a psychological horror trying to disguise itself as a cute romcom
If the author went all the way and made this a creepy story, I'd probably like it better
I stopped reading this a long time ago and came back now
The art really downgraded but I really liked the ending
It's very different from usual isekai endings, it wasn't perfect, but I appreciate the intention
Haha
Another one that uses magic to wrap things up in the final arc
These isekai are great at first, but I realize now they tend to get a bit lost when ending the story
It's really interesting to me how the author managed to portray someone who's trying their best to become a better person, but ends up circling back to toxic dynamics
The mom is a fascinated character to me
As readers, most of us don't like her that much
She's protective, but in an excessive way, to the point of overbearing and controlling at times
There's no doubt she loves Lyrica, but somehow that doesn't seem to be enough to make her a good mother
She's quite literally derailing the political scenario to protect Lyrica and yet we still end up with the feeling she's not getting "better" fast enough
It's so curious to me that she's got both heroic and villainous traits and constantly dances between the two roles
This chapter is a perfect example, thinking so hard on all the wrong waya to make Lyrica "safe"
I thought she was on the way to redemption, but probably the path won't be as straightforward as I believed lol
I think things we'll keep escalating and eventually Lyrica will butt heads with her mother directly, bc each has their own idea of what "being safe" means
But that's just a theory
I half like this comment. Yes we see we see someone trying THEIR best to be a better person. Emphasis on theirs it's a road and roads aren't always straight. There will be a lot of bumps
Gotta agree
This chapter felt like a knife twisting in someone's guts
I don't even think it could be called Penelope getting "revenge" on Eclis
This wasn't carefully planned, she doesn't even have a revenge plan, but it did feel like vindication
Not bc "justice" was served, but simply bc Penelope made him see exactly what were the consequences of his own actions
They both could have benefited from each other, Penelope was perfectly reasonable when she chose Eclis over all the other options, bc it made sense survival-wise
He ruined it all on his own, and his delusional self needed to see that
I pity him bc it's always sad to see someone taking deliberate steps to their own ruin
But I don't think he deserves any less
In the end dude got freedom, he isn't a slave anymore, got citizenship, kept his sword and the possibility of ascension
If anything, he can become a pretty annoying antagonist (if he manages to keep his sanity)
I have no idea how the story goes, but I hope he gets exactly what he deserves in the end
I've seen 3d being used before for backgrounds
But not this blatantly...
It's...
A choice I guess...
LMAOO
I... Kinda wanted to see her in the dress properly
We didn't get even one small panel of a "normal" view of it, it's all either angled or parts of it
Not even when she's first trying it
I get it, it's not the focus
But we had a build up for it, they picked it out, went to get her makeup...
...what the actual fuck?
Ok, him being the serial killer is gut wrenching and ruined all romance
But what's the explanation for this ending??
Did she shot him, turned around and left?
There's no way that blond dude would take her for her word
Also what happened to her transformation?
Of course we can deduce the red haired doctor managed to complete the cure, but why not include it??
And why would Isaac wait over a fucking decade to comeback?
Or did he spend all 11 years following and watching her creepily from a visible distance?
What about Anne??
Did she end up with someone?
Blond bitch boss man?
So. Many. Questions.
This feels like either the author was forced to hurry along the plot, or the author fell off love with this story halfway through the ending.
Like literally swapped the genre in the last chapter.
Hmmmm
I can sense the plot is coming up
I wonder if he'll lose control in some way again this time and how bad it will be
Courtney still needs a little bit more time to gain confidence in her roles (both as a Mistress and as Crown Princess)
The thing that bothered me about the side stories was how they fell to the trope "using sex as leverage to resolve their relationship issues"
Ash clearly loves Lyle a lot and obviously wouldn't hurt him, it was just weird to see him, who was shown and proven to be so articulate before, use sex to get something out of Lyle
That's my irk with the side story
