The more I read this, the more I consider not putting many of these scenes in the main series is doing such a massive disservice to the readers who only know of the main series. This all provides some very necessary context on the main characters besides Anna, and even with Anna, knowing this...
No? I genuinely cannot follow your thought process. It rewards him for being pure of mind when healing people and gives him healing powers. It punishes him when he's selfish and hurts people. It doesn't prevent shielding himself, only hurting others, which is what he did here.
The system has always been more punishing than rewarding. I quite like that. Easy system stories get boring really quickly.
More importantly, it demonstrates how Selim has changed that he takes action even when the System would punish him because it's the right thing to do. If he were only...
I wonder why Anna has to lose her memories over time while Samuel gets to keep his with no apparent issue. Unless, he only keeps cooking memories? :unsure: He only obliquely mentioned Japan, and he isn't nearly as desperate about it as main series Anna is.
It's translated content by the same group. You can call it spoilers if you want, but it's absolutely accessible. It's literally been advertised on the last page of every chapter since Doghouse picked up both.
If you read the spin-off, it's clear that there is no "real" or "fake." She was a reincarnation in both timelines. It's as the Spirit King says: the difference is in which memories are sealed, her memories of Japan or her memories of this life.
Objectively, this is a beautiful chapter, but we do see the problems with Asmodeus Scans. I hate to complain about scanlators, but they're a slow group that also hoards what few chapters they do translate through paywalls. That makes these waits that much longer.
A chapter of visuals for a...
I disagree completely. Rachel has been established multiple times in the main series as an unreliable narrator. Unreliable narrators being unreliable is the opposite of a retcon; it's logical storytelling and progression. Rachel being evil would make her later personality incongruent. People...
Based on the cover, Samuel seems like the male lead for Anna. Though, given this is the Saintess Anna timeline, I wonder how that'll go. I know she was popular enough with Prince Louis that the engagement with Rachel was annulled.
You know, that's why this series really deserves more attention...
I like it. Since it appears to be the timeline before main series Rachel's regression, it gives some great context for why Rachel is the way she is, what kind of person she was and now strives to avoid being. It also provides details for the world and storyline itself that are somewhat glossed...
This really is an interesting take on the trope. I don't think I've ever seen a reincarnator who wants to keep the story the same but doesn't want to screw the original villainess over. She's not as awful as the more common reincarnator antagonists.
But, of course, this still comes with the...
