Honestly this is one of the most engrossing reads I’ve had in a while. If you treat this as a psychological horror, you’ll be so rewarded because we haven’t had anything like this where FL could spiral down to such pure and mind numbing despair that it completely breaks her (closest is Resetting Lady who reloops her life over and over for the past 100 years with no end in sight)
I know Roger is the endgame but to be honest, romance is such a backseat for me here because damn, the plot is plotting. I think those who come here expecting only romance is just gonna disappoint themselves because it’s obvious they’re gonna use Roger as one of the source for angst AND a beacon of hope (judging by the latest chapter) which means slow burn for the next three hundred chapters but the FL is riveting enough to carry the series on her back so I’m good.
And lol the italics

So I think what we have here is a very annoying miscommunication setup… if I’m reading this right, the game has ended. ML is putting up boundaries because he genuinely thinks MC has tapped out. MC brought him another named person, and ML thought ‘because they’re fated, shouldn’t MC fight against this?’ ML was initially testing this fated lovers thing out, but for him, it fizzled to an end because MC didn’t react as expected or he thinks MC set this up in the first place (makes sense why he said ‘what a pointless ending’). SO HERE, his stupid experiment probably ended.
ML will likely reveal everything to MC next, and MC will be pissed af because why for no reason was he put through shit emotional roller coaster - all this for an experiment? Extra pissed if Ryu actually thinks he was working with the scammer (girl likely had the name tattooed) Don’t forget that one of ML’s keywords when this manhwa started was ‘#후회공 / regret’ so I think this will probably kick off a chasing arc where ML's feelings for MC will be explored for the first time. As the poster below me said, we had this for MC, but none for ML’s side.
I actually believe THIS IS THE REAL RYU, one who’s not afraid to cut people off. He’s not the Prince Charming people claimed him to be nor did he profess to be one, which is why he doesn’t actually have close friends in the first place.Ngl I desperately need them to make out and fuck, but Ryu needs to BE HUMBLED and grovel first before they do.

I’m at chapter 63, read the whole thing in one go, and I had to TAKE A BREAK because this manhwa nearly fucking ended me with how much crying I did, that I had to take MEDS because I had a headache from all the sobbing.
I went from hating Heiner to supporting him completely. This is a testament to the fantastic character development both MC and ML had. Every raw emotion laid out in the chapters, oh I felt it. I’m glad I gave it a chance because I actually dropped it once before in early chapters because I couldn’t stand ML.

As a Seol fan, I’m screaming over the last two chapters. And omg Guys, I’m freaking TF out at this plot twist. Was SEOL the Childhood friend the whole time??? I thought it was Kang Miro but both kid and SEOL HAS THE SAME HAIR COLOR. If the kid was SEOL, then it’ll explain WHY HIS BEHAVIOUR BACK IN KINDY WAS SO SHITTY HELP
Edit: Seol wtf is up with that fugly shirt

This is one of the best FL time loop novels I’ve read this year. I HAD TO TAKE A BREAK from reading other stuff for a bit because of this lol. If you think Raymond is just your typical boring blond ML, hahaha no. Man can be deranged, BROKEN AND RAW - this is what happens when you lived for 7000 years. He is ON CARYNNE’S FREQUENCY (freak level too, maybe EVEN MORE sdlfjfkkjd) and this is not only grounding Carynne but actually giving her HOPE for the very first time. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that they do is for each other’s sake. As for Dulan, I blame the manhwa for making him a bit depressingly good looking. Dude is 100% a piece of shit and is the source for everything that went wrong for Carynne. I swore a few of my blood vessels burst because of him.
Go and read the novel, it’s almost completely translated and beautifully done too : https://www.novelupdates.com/series/resetting-lady/ It has 4 more arcs not done yet (Dulan’s arc, Happily Ever after arc, and 2x side stories, in this order.) Dulan's arc in particular is very important so if you want to wait for translations to reach this point, hang in there.
Good place to start is at chapter 167 if you wanna read more about Raymond’s… um… beastly nature when the floodgates are open lol.

You can do what I did, by skipping 94 chapters in the novel. Read chapter 1, then head over to chapter 96 because that’s when shit hits the fan... FOR THE TWO POS MLS. If you read the entire novel, the payoff will never be enough for the time you invested in this work. Tbh I will never ever get how authors can go on and on AND ON with the sexual torture porn, but I’m not their target audience for this so. /shrug I stuck around because people were raving about the author’s supposedly masterful skill at depicting emotions in revenge scenes (meh but it did just enough to trigger my emotions).
There’s a certain group of readers that books like this cater to, much like how NTR is for a selected group - for me, I’m just here for one thing : MC to collect his dues. You’re not supposed to ship MC and ML, you're not supposed to think it’s a good book - it’s meant to piss you off and if you stick around long enough, you’re expected to hang on because you will be rewarded with the MC’s RETRIBUTION that will DENY both ML’s redemption. I had a rough idea of what went on and I still cried tears of rage reading the novel because it was finally time for MC to rise.
And he absolutely dished it out tenfold. The revenge was glorious. It was perfect to see him ASCEND TO THE THRONE the way he did. The two trash MLs knew they broke him, they did him wrong all the way. I loved that the 2 will never get what they want and one of them completely submitted to MC knowing he will never have MC’s heart because he had nothing left to give except pure indifference. There will never be a happy ending and it ended just fine because tbh, nobody would pick up a book like this and expect a sane, happy ending. MLs got what they deserved and that’s it for me.

Comrade, you found me! Yesssss, is the marquis the guy who took all the glory and achievements for himself? Then YES I DIDN’T KNOW WHY he died in 2 seconds.
To ramble on, I appreciated that the author never went overboard with MC’s brokenness and broke the immersion I had while reading about his path of recovery (as much as he could anyway) It’s one of the works that I sometimes go back reading if I’m ever in the mood for MCs putting trashes in their place while trying to pick up the broken pieces of himself to function.
Contrite, REGRETFUL chasing bottoms ARE SO RARE I’m losing my mind at how delicious this upcoming angst is going to be
