@missmercurial It would absolutely be faster - but if, and only if, she could actually reach it in one smooth motion. That's my nitpick. People aren't made of jelly, and it takes a bit of force and momentum to stab someone, especially with a dagger made for combat. Pressing it in from...

The whole issue with having the king's entire family slaughtered because it's too dangerous to have surviving royal blood around, though? No matter how "historically accurate" it is? It wasn't a problem ten minutes beforehand, when the country had just surrendered over a jousting tournament...

Wow, I called the princess situation totally wrong. I really don't know what to make of her extremely brief presence in the story. A simple, sheltered girl, treated like an object by her father, and forced to kill herself because he was too proud to accept his own defeat? I don't know if the...

I suspect (or, to be honest, I hope) that Pauliana "killed" the princess herself to establish the end of the Bikpa royal family as official fact - while in truth, she only knocked her out, so she could offer her a chance to start over in secret. If the princess was just going to die here, then...

I love this so much. Just the way she becomes significantly less hot after the maids tried to pretty her up, because she's more interested in doing her job and being prepared for the worst than being seen as elegant or beautiful - but all she has to do to get her mojo back is rip off her wig and...

I wonder if it's going to turn out like, someone deliberately sealed away women's ability to use magic at some point in the past, and the otoshi mark itself is actually just the seal manifesting when the individual woman has enough innate magical power to trigger it? So then you get this...

In all fairness, it seems like the "burning her to death" part was intended to be their way of destroying the evidence. She was probably supposed to die/be permanently incapacitated by the poison, and then they'd set the fire to cover their tracks and maybe finish the job. This was never Plan A...

Y'know? I was a little dumbstruck when I saw the -fin- and realised, that was it, it really wasn't going to happen, not even in a timeskip. But after a few hours to mull it over, I think I'm on board with it. It was always kind of in the background that she liked him, but she was using him to...

Do... do you think that the mistress started out as having no limbs at all, but then the author was like, "Oh wait, but how will she give headpats, or enigmatically say fufufu", and went back and changed it? I just get that feeling, for some reason.

I still don't think the werewolf is quite as scary as the first spiral monster she fights in the WN, but the part where she splits it open and a bunch of flailing limbs burst out from the wound was pretty strong. I did like that. The twisting effect on her arms looked nice and horrifying, too...

This is all speculation, but I'll spoiler it anyway:

The sister didn't even know if this was the same "Uno-san" at all, but the minute she saw the name, she shipped it. Truly legendary.

Oh hey! This one got a manga, too! This story is 100% fluff with no real plot or tension to speak of, but as comfort food, it's honestly one of my favourites.

Lmao, I got really confused when the "the moon is beautiful tonight" line passed by both of them without even a blink, but then I remembered that this isn't a Japanese story.

Fellas, if your new wife bursts into tears and says "Oh my god, I'm such a burden, you had to give up all hope of a happy marriage just to carry out your father's dying wish and rescue me!" The correct response is "No, you don't understand, I do love you, my father's dying wish just gave me...

Okay, dude literally picking the first guy he sees as his new bride is fun and all, but can we talk about the absolute icon of a woman who skipped her own wedding to make out with her girlfriend? I wanna read that story, too! Also, where did that perfectly tailored white suit even come from? Is...

"Hmm, I'm really excited to work with this mangaka again, but I'm not sure I have the skill to tease out her best work... I know! I'll ambush her with the guy who everyone blames for driving her out of the business and stunted her grown as an artist by making her give up on writing for years...

I really like that she pardoned the old woman. Shows that (for now, at least) she's not afraid to use her power to perform random acts of charity, even if doing so could potentially cause trouble. She didn't even look at Dowun first, or try to use it as leverage over Baek Han. She was just like...

Y'know. When she started to go into a flashback, I was really genuinely certain it would be about how she got into trouble as a child, but a mysterious passing knight happened to save her, and he was her first crush, and Tama just really inexplicably reminds her of him somehow, and that's why...

@Kaarme If this is a cultural norm unique to this fantasy world that we aren't supposed to immediately understand or accept, it sure would be handy to comment on that in the story somehow. Like, for example, if there was literally anyone at all who didn't immediately understand what all the fuss...
