not one iota of character buildup wasted!
felt pretty dissatisfied with how they dealt with the twin if he was just gonna die in a few chapters after all that fanfare and flashback
hhhgfjgkfkfjf i'm gonna love how this all plays out. also can't wait for the bloodbath- i mean, friendly conflict - when yuri and nine get a hint that delusional wolf ML is starting to fancy Melissa lmao
shout out to Yona for best entrepreneur award

this honestly played out like a legitimate horror story with a whodunnit vibe and the climax being the killer/stalker was the one closest to you all this time
before that chapter explaining the tea was poisoned, i was actually kinda excited thinking this wasn't gonna be your typical 'scary ML actually misunderstood and suffering and only MC's uniqueness can save him from himself'. like i thought we were gonna get a genuinely unapologetic psychopath for once
but maybe that was too much to ask from a shojo fantasy ish webtoon.
either way, even if it's gonna go that cliche story path, i'd still wanna read it

and why, for the love of god, will they not throw heronia in a dungeon or torture her to confess her crimes or something? slandering royalty is a capital offense bruh.
probably an unpopular over here but like... for all their 'evil shadow king' vibes and 'i have foreseen this plot and am several steps ahead of you and i shall make you suffer', the way they handle heronia is kinda... anticlimactic. lacking. it doesn't feel satisfactory for me man.

bc i love me some good pining
also as how these things usually go, silan noble will probably genuinely fall for FL after much complicated political affairs and forever pine for her
