Dang, I like the yandere development in this chapter. Btw, anyone of you knows a story similar to this?

I know a lot of stepmother reincarnation stories. I think my favorite one would be....
"I'M JUST A STEPMOTHER BUT MY DAUGHTER IS TOO CUTE" (A new twist to Snow White where the stepmother queen is a fangirl) and "I RAISED CINDERELLA PRECIOUSLY" (Where the stepmother raises Cinderella as one of her own).

So I'm guessing they were friends before. This new character is suicidal or just simply loves cutting himself. Hooni was still happy then until his parents died where he lost the will to live. This character probably taught Hooni how to escape reality and must be why Hooni now cuts himself to relieve his stress because he believed in this friend's words. Idk tho, just a theory.

So I'm guessing what Oscar wants to tell them that day he fell on the cliff is that he's the true heir but is willing to give up the throne for our ml. But then he fell off cliff and his memories reverted to when he was 15. During that time, he probably still wished to covet his rightful place in the throne hence the betrayal to fl and company. But the Oscar before losing his memories probably realized a better way to live life that he's willing to give up the throne. But then he forgot this resolve due to amnesia. And like wtf.
ML's mom is so cool. She possesses the qualities to be a Strong FL novel/manhua protagonist. I would love to see a side story dedicated to her, maybe about her youth and her journey to be the head of their family until she passed it down to our handsome ML. And dang, I love their family's vibes. Autumn is my favorite season so this family really clicks with me as I also love their color pallette.
