This has been somewhat debated in various chapter comment sections. The potions are more of a feelings amplifier than a mind altering drug. They're exploitative and wrong, but also are working from something that was already there/happening. I can't remember of this is later in the story or...

We're experiencing the revenge manga version of edging and we're all here for it.

Now that's what I call a male lead. Does he have red flags? Maybe. But thus far nothing in his behavior is actually an attempt to constrain or control her. His reward might be a little manipulative (if she values him), but it also MEGA supports her goal of getting eyes on this slaying.

The one two punch of creeping on your cousin because she seems submissive. Forget "first prince", he's the "red flag prince".

I don't have the time or inclination to go find the few times the stance of the "villains" (the church) has been described or expressed. But so far nothing has shown why that stance is wrong. Like.... yeah, maybe if I had to invent my own explanation (which by chap 18 I shouldn't have to do)...

As always, I have nothing but respect for the people who translate and post. And I read this through chapter 18 so clearly there was enough something to keep me going. But... I don't know how to put this ..... As of the end of chapter 18, the core thesis of this manga seems to be "If we don't...

Is it still just the kinda bad MTL?

I took a break from reading to run here just to say - this is truly an S Tier male lead. Like... damn. He checks all the boxes, sends up no red flags and he's fun to read. Gold friggin' star.

I don't find Willard in particular attractive, but there's an undeniable appeal to seeing a pathetic man hit rock bottom.

Yeah, this story is so great I can gently ignore that it has just a touch of that good ol' stupid innovation plot device syndrome.

To be fair, it was mostly bad vibes especially when we were in his perspective. But not trusting your read of the vibes IS how all those Lifetime Original Movies start, so....

I always SUPER dig it when in one of these stories nobility has proper multiple residences. Like, their historical seat, a townhouse in the capital for the social season and an estate for escaping whatever their version of the worst season is. That kinda setup.

Yeah, the settings are definitely a mashup of whatever the author finds fun. Very little rhyme or reason. Whenever there are multiple simultaneous queens or EMPRESSES in a Euro themed story I'm like - what. I'm guessing it's because they want to hit the same beats as the historical dramas they...

Cacao (and it's important to note people ate processed cacao tree seeds in many ways before chocolate was invented) is just one example. The problem is food inventions in general, which seem to ignore common sense (this culture had access to rice but idk never got around to it) OR the actual...

As a side note to The Great Crop Rotation Debate, let me just say I do appreciate that she clearly has to travel and hustle very hard to find the legumes she needed. Getting real tired of isekai where, like, some insane shit like cacao has been growing outside the equatorial belt in somebody's...

If all my dreams were coming true it would be her father's. 👀

Book Perez is consistently creepier. Like... constant red flag behavior. I dislike Yandere characters so the "romance" (it didn't feel romantic) was my least favorite part. The manhwa handling of his character sanded off a lot of his edges. I'd probably like him if I wasn't poisoned by...

The over praising in a lot of villainess manhwa rubs me the wrong way. But I like it here because it's part of the twisted thought process. The praise is "for" Emi (who she's living in obsessed tribute to). It shows how even the joy and happiness of others is not something she takes for herself...

She essentially did, in fact, magically drug him so she could do an non consensual magical medical treatment and then non magical felt him up at the end as a special treat. 🤣 🫠

I'm honestly starting so feel tragic over the fact that these two women won't end up together.
