I am starting to think the witch isn't actually bad/evil, but I could be wrong. This chapter seems to highlight how she has power, but isn't a mastermind of much.

Just watch this whole thing that happened was an accident caused by either an experiment of her's or she was bullied and her power went out of control. The only reason she didn't do anything about fixing it was because it was quiet now or she was afraid to get scolded after she fixed it all.

From all the hearts we've seen in her lair, as well as the fact that her spells are countered by kissing, love, and marriage, I feel like she may have been dumped or refused by some guy she liked, and sent out the vines as revenge. That said, it's entirely possible that she has absolutely no idea what she is doing. I can definitely see her keeping the spell going to avoid a scolding, though.

Her curse is oddly benevolent for a curse, too. Think about it: everyone's asleep, but they're perfectly preserved and don't age. Their food, clothing, and structures don't age either. Their plants don't die from lack of water, even though it doesn't rain, they don't get sick from exposure... it's very protective of the people who have been cursed.

To top it all off, she put a dragon in front of the place so nobody else could get in. Now while the storybook makes it sound like that's stopping people from rescuing them from the curse, also think about it: nobody can just sneak in and steal all their shit while they're asleep. Everyone's asleep, but they're safe, healthy, and when they wake up, it will be like nothing has happened.

Why? I'm very curious. Especially because she seems so genuinely clumsy and genuinely annoyed that people are moving around when they shouldn't be.

She and the cat are just lovable dumdums. Also:

They have a friendship with the queen

Witch certainly seems like just a clumsy person rather than malicious.

Also, don't forget that we have the MC's family as antagonists too. One of the reasons for the MC going to this kingdom was to warn them of the invasion.


if they really are antagonists. For all we know they decided to lie to him to get the useless bum out of their house, cause who would believe one person could kill a dragon?

disclaimer: My title says "banned", because : I guessed using raws at future content without using spoilers. Got banned for some time even though I was wrong. Allowed back after many months. So I use spoiler texts for everything now.
disclaimer 2: I'm guessing based off past content.

... why do I feel like I need to protect the villain?!
I'll post a page from chapter 61 in the spanish scanlation bellow. There is nothing spoilery about it, it's just a small glimpse into the daily life of her and the cat. It indeed makes you want to protect them. I love them so much.
