So does he go back in time every time he dies as well? Well I guess it makes sense, not like the stars he needs to earn have been around for however long he’s been living in total (like if he died and then came back to life at the same time or in the future it would be the year 2500 something). ( ￣□￣||)
Waited so long for chapter 2 only for it to end on a cliffhanger hanger again… sad times
Why are those sibling bullying the younger kids tho? They’re like op adventurers who are older than those kids, so they either end up looking like bullies or the kids defeat them which makes the story very unrealistic / makes the younger character unnaturally op in the setting of this world since so much emphasis was already put on the older siblings being very strong ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Can’t wait till they all find out about her being a homonculus and how they’ve been treating the evil sh*t like a goddess this whole time while they’ve been mistreating the actual princess. Hope it doesn’t take another 50 chapters to get to that point tho ╮(￣▽￣)╭
My favourite troupe in stories…. Miscommunication. The true demon of this series I swear; if he made his feelings clearer and she just spoke to him, even confronted him the day she saw him and the other one “kissing” like 80% of the drama could have been avoided.
like damn its so tru, I love crazy male lead but I hate misunderstandings the most so I'm like half want to read it and half don't
Not gonna lie, he should have divorced her and left long ago. His wife is domestically abusing him, both physically and mentally, and he doesn’t even have a relationship with his daughter anyway so it’s not like they could say that he should stay for the good of the child. It’s all well and good that she suffered during pregnancy and he didn’t know how to help, but that’s no reason to start treating him this way and then continue on years after the birth.
It also seems to me that he’s the only one financially supporting the family, and that he isn’t allowed to use the toilet in the house he’s paying for is absolutely disgusting.
Also, from what I remember they had a pretty causal relationship and then she just showed up one day saying she pregnant, so the fact that he took responsibility and married her to begin with shows that he isn’t a bad person. Plus, she’s the one that approached him with the pregnancy and then started abusing him because he got worried for her and panicked when she was sick?? She’s the one who underestimated the strain/ impact of pregnancy on her life and body so in the end it’s all on her in my opinion.
Imagine trying to coerce a man in love to take you as a “mistress” just because you like him? Like she could at least pretend to have some self respect, if she just left quietly she could have probably lived a life of luxury and after a while rumours would have died down, could have been blamed on stress due to sudden changes, but now her reputation will likely hit rock bottom and never recover. Why do that to yourself over a happily married man??? Some of these manwha villain women make no sense whatsoever.
I agreed with everything you said except that last line. Yeah some of the villainesses are really nuts & out there, but some of them seem to feel justified by their situations. Krista DEFINITELY overstepped the boundaries for both--her chances with Heinrey were 0 when she went through with her 1st marriage whether she wanted it or not--but whether she's just stupid or she has some ego-related issue with letting it the frick go, she really thinks she's the victim in all this.
I mean the way her maids turned on her in c143 after being all on her side & encouraging her was fucked up even if it was justifiable by Navier's perspective (I doubt she even mentioned any of the turn-her-maids-against-her plan to Heinrey. Poor dude didn't get a say in any of it & probably stressed about it by himself.) It would've been a LOT easier if Heinrey used his authority aS THE F***ING EMPEROR [really wanted to cuss him out on this] to forcibly relocate Krista or worst case scenario: use the threat of execution under something like "attempted treason" or some crap ヾ(☆▽☆)
He was being tied to the former King's 'will' which is really f*cked up and so frustrating, like I would go berserk and throw everyone to jail who try to disobey me but yeah the nobility/aristocrat are frustrating
I 100% agree that some of the villainess’s feel like they are justified in their actions and like they have no other choice, but I feel like in this instance in particular her actions felt very unnatural and forced on the authors part (in my opinion); when Navier first approached her with the intention of being friends she could have accepted but chose conflict in an attempt to keep some of her influence/ power even though it was basically gone the moment the emperor remarried.
I just feel like someone who held her position for at least a few years should have acted differently in this situation, because she could have kept some influence by being friends / an assistant to Navier if that makes sense. Just felt like the author wanted a downgrade to the 70 chapter conflict with Rashta (?), and I think Kristina could have been a better villainess if she chose to fight Navier just over the position / power rather than because she was in love with a married man (just like Rashta) Just in this case she was trying to coerce technically her stepson to take her in as a lover.
I dunno, I guess I’m just trying to say her actions made no sense to me (￣∇￣")
yeah i agree too
Agree
That makes sense on an author's level of plot explanations (the why's & how's in-depth details) but I feel like this is her first time using her power/influence & that's where all the forced/awkwardness comes from (at least how I saw it). it's also true that she's basically a Rashta2 for trying to screw up Navier's marriage. More than the quality of Villainess, I think the focus was more aimed at how Krista's character went from being passive in her own life to trying to force her way into a relationship with the man she's "loved" since before her own political marriage got arranged by her jerk-dad. It's not a great storyline, but there are absolutely trashy people who do that in real life too. I think it would be a lot more f-ed up if she accepted Navier's offer of peace or tried to work with her for the same reason: she's still got a crazy crush on the woman's husband!
Even if I can reason out the hypotheticals (for the most part) I still think the storyline took a pretty weird turn...kind of like there's a goal to sh*t on women by depicting them as love-crazy, power-hungry psychos? these kinds of clichés get really tiring really quickly

Seriously though, it ticked me off to see Heinrey sitting in his f***ing throne all confused & helpless like "I don't know what to do~ I'm only the Emperor~ ╥﹏╥ ". (╬￣皿￣)凸
The politicians were just dissecting the prior's will to their own advantage so even a stalemate could've been achieved (since he's apparently not* gonna just order her to leave the capital or forcefully have her removed from the palace) by doing the same & claiming it would be better to "take care / look after" the woman when she's no longer stirring up political bullcrap in noble society. she's still get her own mansion or private residence, a fleet of servants, & never be concerned about running out of funds (that Navier would probably happily manage & readily supply <--she's too good for these people) (●￣(ｴ)￣●)
Anime watcher here, does anyone know what the star eyes actually are? I thought it was genetic until the other girl (was it Kana?) got them and then I thought it might be a mind set thing (like if they really get in the zone or something?) so I’m mildly confused now.
It basically represents passion in a way yk? Like their eyes only sparkle when they're passionate about something I think they explained it in the manga as well but I can't quite remember the chapter sorry
No worries, thank you for explaining :)
Another theory is that they represent "lies" the person makes.
There are two different forms of lies, and two different types of star eyes accordingly:
White star eyes represent where characters lie in the name of doing something good
While Black star eyes represent lies where its made maliciously or made for the sake of harming others.
Another thing that was pointed out was that (The red haired girl) had galaxy eyes, which represents the truth, the opposite of star eyes.
It’s not really lies so much as Ambition and Potential. The black stars represent potential for corruption and ambition towards revenge, the white represents star potential/potential for greatness and the ambition that requires. The twins were born with star potential by merit of their mothers.
I like the story, but I would have liked to see the mother apologise face to face with her son for traumatising him throughout his childhood (well, father to blame as well if you’re a gay man don’t marry an innocent woman, have a kid with her and then traumatise her you’re the worst scum on this earth).
