I thought it was pretty wholesome and understandable tbh. In the sense of why Remi reciprocated. I totally get why some feel that Remi was too Emi obsessed in choosing to be with Angel because of his feelings for “Emi’s Remilia.” That being said, I think it’s a good ending for her. I feel Emi’s Remilia, at least in the end, was more than just MC acting like Emi to keep her “alive” in the world and get revenge for her, but also a way for MC to live, too.
In the epilogue / extras (or maybe the last chapter), Remilia talks about how nothing and no one in the world wanted her to exist, how she was destined for ruin and how painful the malice of the world was. Emi was her only light because she was the only one to extend any sympathy or kindness to Remilia. I saw her acting as Emi in the end as a way to continue making the world a kind place that made people want to live in it, whether it’s herself or others. Because if there is “Emi”, however fake, in the world, there can also be “Remilia.”
Therefore, Angel loving Emi’s Remilia, and Remilia liking him back because of that, I saw it as her being willing to extend those feelings because he was so clearly different from the people and world that worked so hard to crush Emi’s kindness and Remilia. Him loving the version of herself that she wants to be. Not only that, it’s clear that he likes her for her kindness, not because of any political gain or anything and did not have any of the same petty jealousy or tendency towards control as the other men. For him to have such affection and understanding (viewing her even better) even in situations when everyone else was surprised or shocked (like making sure Pina doesn’t get death penalty even when it would have been more advantageous) probably reminds her quite a lot of Emi.
On another note, I don’t think anyone else would have had any chance with her. I thought the way the manga resolved things was cute (especially with Emi and the original Pina becoming their children) but I could also see the way the original novel did things (and honestly expected there to be no pairing in the end).
Totally agree with u
This is exactly how I felt!! I would like to think of it as like a way of accepting that she is whole Emi's Remilia and that she doesn't have to pretend anymore! Angel loved the version of her she and Emi always strove to be.
Well said
You can find them on comicpark. Link in other comments. The yandere guy isn’t introduced in those, what you see on this website is all of him in the story so far. The missing chapters is basically just
Spoiler??
Yuuma getting hurt for a bit while rescuing Shuumei, and Shuumei telling Yuuma that he sees Yuuma as an important friend (and Yuuma going wtf that makes no sense)
It’s so refreshing to see one that treats all his children with love and doesn’t blame them for things outside of their control
The emperor is super annoying though. He immediately went for the method most traumatizing and dangerous to Shuellina, even though she obviously doesn’t feel safe or like him
I’m imagining that if Bada was always an NPC before, he’d be the first to die or an exposition chat or smth to start the game and give time for the actual players to begin. It’d be interesting, wouldn’t it, if one of them (Doha, especially) tried to see what would happen if an NPC saved
Can everyone have a bit of grace for MC? I don’t think she’s as dumb as everyone says she is, and I think the reactions are a bit excessive.
She’s probably super anxious about everything because she knows she’s supposed to killed but doesn’t know how, when (other than that it’s during her wedding night), everyone involved, or even the actual method. It’s obvious to us readers that the ML is not the killer, but she doesn’t get to see his inner thoughts or anything. We can read without worry but she literally has one chance to avoid being murdered by someone she might be falling for. She has to be careful ESPECIALLY because she’s dealing with a serial killer with no known motive. There’s countless real life of them looking perfectly normal on the surface but doing crazy gruesome stuff in private. The victims also don’t have a clear enough connection to push the evidence towards or against him being the killer, and she’s floated the idea of there being multiple perpetrators.
It’s also worth noting that the ML is not as blushing red outwardly, or at least not as often as we see. In the earlier chapters, we know that he’s flustered from all the compliments and stuff, but the MC shows no indication of it from her perspective. While we could say it’s confirmation bias, I think it’s more likely that the blushing is just an indicator to us about how he feels, especially because of what we see in her perspective and his reputation as a very cold person. I doubt there weren’t other people coming strongly onto him, and he’s not very strong against it.
Also, who says things like “your wrists are so thin, I could easily break them” or “seeing the men talk to you makes me want to kill them” (not exact, around Ch 40)? That’s such red flag behavior, AND she’s hearing it during a serial killer investigation. He does it every time she starts warming up to him. I’d be afraid too!
TLDR: MC is doing her best and it’s a good job imo. She literally has little to no connections and also no advanced forensic tools or camera footage to use
I will note though that I think she needs to examine other people like ML’s family instead of focusing only on him
bru frr, how are people calling her stupid? Is she just being cautious about falling in love with the main suspect in her murder?? HELLOOO????
I feel like it’s especially harder to fall in love with him bc the crime is serial murder. Ik some people are like, she can’t always think he’s the killer just bc of a single line in the synopsis, but she’s literally a stepping stone for the novel main characters to fall in love. It looks clear to me that our ML is not the novel ML. She has no reason not to suspect that there might not be some hidden trauma, some second personality, etc. That makes him commit crime, even without remembering, because it’s so common in this kind of writing.
Because the death is on her wedding night and that the original MC never met with ML until then, she knows that her cause of death most likely is tied completely to the marriage itself, something she has no ability to change. Even if she gains more social power and can annul it with her wish, the serial killer might not be ML and instead someone taking advantage of the event to sneak in and kill her. It might not even be the actual serial killer but someone pretending to be them. She’s working with 3 crumbs of information, all of which might be wrong
She has no lead to that yet, so I don't think what she's doing right now is wrong. Plus she keeps getting targeted by so many other ppl that it means investigation even harder..
I don’t blame her for not noticing the flowers and stuff. Like from what it sounds like, no one would have even considered checking them when the father was poisoned despite being from a household renown for their poisons or smth + having that shadow guild or whatever. It probably was that the flower was too unknown / a secret creation of the church. Also I could see them overlooking it because of being nobles and just being too used to seeing them
but Shouldn’t she have had at least one person following her? Though maybe we’ll see Rube come in handy or maybe a ghost will tell Arsian somehow (he can’t see as well as Camilla tho) or smth. Otherwise this would be uncharacteristically careless
You're right. I think this time, she overestimated herself. She's reckless just like that time with a murderer.
I think it’s possible she put too much faith in Rania not being overly reckless since Rania would be the most suspicious person if something happened to MC (since they left alone) + MC probably thinks Rania is working solo and not under any pressure from some external group
Ohhh~ I gotchur point! ヾ(☆▽☆)
He's a doctor that "develops" aristocratic kids' minds iirc
Him and Oscar both try so hard, this is hard to watch knowing that there will always be a 2nd ML and prob not a poly ending
A surprise favorite. I didn’t expect to like him at first ngl but he really pulled through, especially in the latest chapters
he tried to kill roger
Sometimes it be like that in a story like this
