I can't really empathize with the MC here, because he is pretty much an idiot. His problems are all the consequence of his own bad choices, which he follows up with more bad choices. Let's start with not learning from his previous life. How dumb do you have to be to get a new start in a brand...

So if he liked her, and she liked him, why the hell did he marry the princess?

Why did he even marry the princess? There's a limit to being "easy going"! Especially after having been in one loveless marriage that ended in divorce, you'd think he'd be more careful about his second marriage.

Ah yes, all those wonderful moments with the father that were never shown or hinted at in any way. Sure makes you think how emotional the send off could have been if those had been part of the story and not an after-thought. I'm looking forward to the mother's funeral where we learn he actually...

It's strange that they mock the Lachia duchy for not receiving their title from the emperor. If anything, that marks them as being of higher status, a territory the emperor could not subjugate but was vassalized peacefully, retaining a considerable amount of independence. I think it was...

I can't imagine how mad the empress is. Think about it, Lizzie was being raised to be an empress, so what does that say about how they view her, the *actual* empress? Do they think her an accessory, to be abused and molded into shape, as opposed to a human being with likes and dislikes...

Everyone saying she's "too forgiving", but in my eyes her decision to forgive Charlotte is a win-win for her. First, she gets a favor and the gratitude of the head maid, which is really valuable. And then there's Charlotte. She will either learn from her mistakes, or what's more likely, she'll...

I'm with Nina, I'd really like to know what bothered Charlotte originally so much about Nina. Nina's original position wasn't something to be jealous of. "Poison taster" is not a highly sought after job. And as the youngest, newest maid, and a foreigner at that, she was pretty much at the bottom...

Oh wow, this guy is about to sign his own death sentence, isn't he? Honestly, just how stupid do you have to see to see your superior talking with someone you don't know, and assume it's your duty to start questioning them even though your superior is telling you to shut up and leave? He must be...

Haha. The prince: "Let me join the subjugation squad!" The princess: "I AM the subjugation squad!"

Hah, hades is so perfect because he had to be the "father figure" (literally in this case) for the male lead of the story, and then die so he doesn't eclipse him. He's like Abel's Kamina. Only we're before the start of the story proper, so he is still alive and kicking, and just being his...

@2SpiritCherokeePrincess Penelope doesn't have "her own money", she bought him with a blank check backed by the duke.

@Mickt2019 You know how sometimes you go to a coffee shop, order your drink, they miss yours and you have to ask them to remake it? Now you know why.

So some portion of Nina lived her life as in the novel, met this guy, was killed, then went back in time, reincarnated with the korean girl inside, and remembers the first time around? So both the transmigrated reader of the novel and Nina know the events that happen in the future (though Nina...

So they hired a potential spy raised by their enemies to be the poison tester for the saintess that keeps the king healthy? How dumb are they? All the church would need to do is raise a child while slowly feeding them some particular type of poison (the kind you can build resistance against)...

What kind of cheap saintess needs a poison taster? She can heal wounds but not a stomachache?

@Lunaion That's why she said she'd hand over the credit and he said he'd keep quiet about the method. The prince is in a difficult position (and even gets murdered in the novel), so he needs achievements to have a chance to fight for the throne. He was sent here in the hopes that either the...

@HarleyQuinzel Exactly my thoughts. A lot of authors just pull that "misunderstood dad" card when the villainess reincarnates, playing off the cold demeanor as a doting parent that just wanted to give the child space and support them or whatever, and it's played straight. Here at least the...

She has been planning this whole escape for the length of the entire chapter. We're shown she gathers bits of food so she can last a couple of days outside, gets a lamp so she can see, is learning the timing of the guard change, trying to learn the layout of the mansion, and so on. And then she...

Ok, so my theory that they kicked him out to not share the glory was wrong. I had also hoped that they kicked him out with the belief that what he did (scouting and carrying luggage) had become obsolete. Like maybe the mage had an alarm spell that allowed them to see more effectively than...
