we circle back that the second princess is also a returner. she would be a good enemy, or even an ally i just feel like the fact that she returns with MC is brushed off too quickly!
+the red haired posh lady in their little gathering. FL deserves this circle of sturdy loving girlfriends who would have her back and i need more more of the princess!!!
i cant never hate the "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" girlies. i support womens rights and womens wrongs and all that. it all comes down to regina and anita being enemies because of one man. and anita is all alone in the world, the last and only one of her kind. regina is battle worn and wary, she has lived an entire life to the death and cant even catch a break now. theyre just girls
and like before anyone gets in on how anita is unjustified in her revenge bc the object of her wrath is long dead well yes she isnt!! shes obviously bad! shes the story's villain after all. doesnt mean i cant root for her hehe
"wym im not like other girls, I AM like other girls we're all fighters" to the prince like oof???? that is so nice to see. this webtoon might be simple in hindsight but its actually got depth. FL being protective with the mistress, the political plot behind the mistress herself, the conplexity of relationship between FL's husband and the prince, and the prince with ML. i really thought this was going to be run off the mill cheating revenge webtoon but its just so full of surprises. also i know FL is gagged bad when she said mean things to ML and his reponse was him offering himself as her on demand relief haha
if i had carried over a practical/inventive skill into a period world id name them with something else cause why is she still carrying italian words in a world where maybe theres no italy i mean itd be funny to makeup new names for these coffees plus since characters dont know what genre their story is, what if its thriller and by keeping foreign never-heard-before words youre sending a beacon to others who is also isekaid or is hunting isekaid people idk.....ive read too many isekai i start thinking about technicalities lmao
the empress downfall is her own doing but i feel like the crown prince inability to form basic amount of empathy and identifying where his fault snowballed into this treason is kinda a red flag??? she witnessed his cruel stoicity and casual fuckall attitude all that in the flashback memory but still manage to blush talking to him like??? sweetie stand up.....
im very tuned in to mcs journey for revenge cause her character is actually really fab but the ML and ML rival are just so...so. jason (2nd ML) has too much personality being arrogant snobbish cunning charismatic flirty etc etc like theres a grocery list long of personalities that was given to him it made him very vague. meanwhile clyde (ML)'s only personality is that he lacks self esteem. thats it. justice for stella....
she thought shes slick but she didnt know a man in love would have the deduction skill of paranormal and fbi agent combined.
but anyway i feel like her second life is so tragic and i feel bad for emiliano too. and ines is a very special protagonist i find myself
penelope: *breathes*
eclis: omg she wants me to love her so much im gonna go out of my way to do things she has never even implied she wanted so that she can let me love her forever and she will be mine only and im going to decide whats good for her for eternity because she wants me to love her so much omg!!!
(theres implied spoiler in this rant)
im just...yea eclis is already a little bit cuckoo in the mind from wartime trauma and his stint as slave, i sympathize with him but like??? hes not entitled to penelope??? penelope needed to act as his 'master' bc the game literally restrict her to only doing that and even then she tried to emancipate him but he had mental block to be dependant on her. they havent even communicated and its been 127 chapters. they havent had meaningful conversation, theyre still strangers, but eclis already pictured a life with the image he painted of penelope in his head so much that he sneaked behind her back doing something that essentially would result in her death sentence.....hes a tragic character but hes also a little bit of an incel lets be honest here
but princess regina thinking "that should get through him right" after point blank straightforward untangling the 3 years old misunderstanding on aarons part IS SO FUNNY TO ME. like shes so tired of his dumbass she still weighed if something like that coud still be taken wrongly by him bc after all 3 years has went and he thought she was in love with him the whole time omg. also aarons father giving him a dog command??? "observe and protect" omg LMAO aside from the seriousness and the terrifying the looming anita as a villain, everything about aaron is just so silly funny and the contrast is just so comedic to me
idk ig theres just been so many discourse and breakdown on this....'im violent and mean bc i love you' typa thing for the last decade that the ML embodying all those stereotypical rough, inconsiderate, dragging FL by the wrist everywhere antics as a caricature. hes a caricature idk he doesnt feel like a real character this feels like some kind of parody or something haha. the story and ML especially just doesnt land
but why do i have this feeling like hes a ticking time bomb with a crazy secret or a second personality or something like
all of her fishes are either going to make her rot in a gilded cage as long as she only belongs to him, one is a crude tsundere with a fucked up family who wants her killed, the other one...is kinda not bad but he wont be able to stand against the other two cause hes kinda normal and is a middling noble whos quite rich like no offense to the merchant marquis but him being normal is sorta a disadvantage dealing with a crown prince and a crazy priest. but props to her cause everyone is scary and shes also scared a lot but shes smart and strongwilled and managed to be funny amidst all that like this is a main character
the villain is stupid and unengaging. everything like the rest of the character, the world building, the politics, the tug on emotional plots etc is dialed up to 10 but her character alone is like a petty second rate typical ragebait webtoon villain like i cant take her seriously cause shes not. her only character marker is just shes horny af and thats all but the webtoon tried so hard to paint her as a very scary final boss archnemesis mastermind
the way the emperor is antagonising a powerful magician like MC just shows how useless of a head of government/state that he is? i mean why would anyone with a brain make an enemy of a useful weapon and resource who is already his legal partner? he couldve kept the mistress and have the marriage with MC loveless still but a smart person would at least be amicable and respectful with said loveless partner? i just cant wrap my head around his logic i mean youre trying to humiliate a girl who literally just destroyed a tower by herself and is capable of blowing his head off on a whim. and by the way the webtoon intro showed that MC is going to leave him anyway is just an evidence of a once in a lifetime bag fumbled just like that lmao
i understand broadstrokes of the plot but the webtoon has troubles in pacing cause why theyre doing something and then flashes back into idk how many centuries back but theres just no distinction. the demon/champion queen thing is also in a mess storytelling wise, its just so unclear bc the panels are disorganised, the temporal markings are very blurred and all and its such a shame bc MC is very likeable and the story is quite serious and packed
i mean being head over heels and losing sleep and crying shaking throwing up trying to one up the baddest bitch in the empire all along he was in love with her??? whys their son a pretty pain in the ass with their love story being that cute omg
and it makes everything sadder for her. so both her bodies' father is none other than the same man she has been regretting not being able to save.....whose love she had realised only in the nick of time :(
the prince is legitimately fun and interesting and kind and has that flirty charisma and has literally been in a life/death situation with FL. the duke has just been there for like??? 2 seconds and all of that has been of him neglecting his fiancee, or being distraught and missed out on crucial decision making. so pardon me for not understanding what is the basis of peoples preference of him lol is it purely 2nd ml syndrome? anyone other than ml goes? i just dont get it
he said im gonna give you a lecture of the horrors of imperialist, colonialist, capitalistic, fascist history of how an item came to be in the coolest way possible
