Ok, now use the rest of your brain cells to understand that things are going differently from what you expect and you don't have to follow the story. Everyone can be happy if you move on from trying to "complete routes".

From what I've gleaned from glossing over comments from others, it's something of a concerning matter to her that the game is "broken" in this way.

Nah, not gonna happen, "heroines" in these kinda stories are demented, it's like they lose braincells the longer the story goes.

It's interesting that there are two kinds of foreknowledge- Rachel died and time slipped, and has some knowledge of how things went previously. Anna, who reincarnated into an otome game, expects things to follow the plot. But since Rachel has already made changes, Anna's foreknowledge is ineffective.

 

[ShinduPK4]

Knowing who she is and what her goal is gives this a completely different vibe. HOWEVER, how can she still not get it after all this time, that the original plot is completely derailed at this point? This should've been obvious from the very start!

Telling a gamer not to game? Sacrilegious!

Tbh, I don't think their foreknowledges are all that different. Assuming that the past Rachel experienced was the plot of the otome game, then they're both in pretty similar situations, with both of them expecting the plot to progress as it did previously (just in Rachel's case she thinks it's "another timeline" and in Anna's case she thinks it's "a game"). They're both expecting the same thing to happen (the prince getting with the saintess), just that one wants it and the other doesn't.

If Rachel was isekai'd instead of time travel'd, I don't think the plot would play out that differently, and there are other manga that follow basically that exact plot (of "I got isekai'd as a villainess and I'm so sad the prince is gonna marry the heroine that I can't notice the prince beating me over the head with how much he loves me").

I like the sublte look the prince did on page 30, the other guy instantly knew he fucked up.

While understandable since it was the reason why she and her loyal servant got killed, I hope Rachel doesn't start killing her feelings for him now that she finally acknowledges that she loves him genuinely.
If anything Louis is or even more possesive of her now then she was of him before her reincarnation.

That's the thing with possessiveness: it's repulsive when it comes from someone you don't like, but can also be extremely attractive when it comes from someone you're attracted to. Though, she doesn't yet seem to understand the difference between her past and current situations.

Spoiler

Wait, who is she? Isn't she just a person that thinks it's a game? I feel like I missed something since the last time I read it.

you didn't miss anything. in the comments of certain past chapters there were some spoilers regarding the isekaid heroine. however in the story itself her background and motivations aren't revealed yet. so look forward to some more drama.

 

[popmol]

thanks for the chapter!

Spoiler: Spoiler

Well from what I understand, Anna is a reincarnator that died, but she thinks completing the "game" will allow her to go back to her world, but because Rachel also changed the routes due to being time travel, she is starting to lose hope and desperate.

The author actually did another manga from Anna's perspective here, which is also on mangadex.

The heroine character is just someone who reincarnated in the otome game world, but

Spoiler

She is slowly loosing her memories of her past life. She was an ordinary girl who was in love and together with who I think was her boyfriend in her previous life. Due to her deteriorating memories, she is desperate to complete the scenario because she believes that clearing it will allow her to go back home, even though she has no proof of it. This information has not been addressed in the manga yet, but is in the source material.

Spoiler

Fairly literal, in this case.

As in she lose more and more of her past life memories and that is what making her so desperate.

Spoiler

Wait, who is she? Isn't she just a person that thinks it's a game? I feel like I missed something since the last time I read it.

Based on other spoilers:

Spoiler

She is hoping that by 'clearing the game' she can return to Japan, because as more and more time pass she is starting to lose memories of 'herself'

She just want to go back and be with the guy she love.

 

[yoshiii]

Oof, what a slap to the face :/

Learning about her background based on the spoilers makes me have some sympathy for her but the way she's going about it is...asinine. Guess being desperate makes her brain cells go poof

While I'm really enjoying that (and I hope it gets more attention since I think you really need both series to get the full picture), it seems more likely to be of the Saintess Anna's perspective. That is, it's the first timeline before Rachel's regression.

Spoiler: The problem there is...

If she can't complete the scenario to save her memory and sense of self...what other hope does she even have? I personally wouldn't be able to think of anything else, if the goal is 'how to return home to Japan and RETAIN MY SENSE OF IDENTITY'. She's scared, desperate, and this is literally the only remotely logical idea to accomplish that goal that she can think of, and for good reason.

 

[Serathe7]

Yes, considering how forceful she was in demanding a dance, she showed immaturity and thus "Your debut was too early".

 

[RiceIST00]

her brother gonna crash out later, ain't no fucking way she think that's a good idea
