Hahahaha all this time she is crazy hahahahaa

It was really surprising to me how many people hated the flashback arc when this is probably the only time the author actually tried to write something other than misery and revenge porn. Reading the comments people have about this arc would make you think that the rest of the manga was actually good and isn't much worse than the said arc people keep complaining about.

Look, man, it’s not my place to judge if you enjoy swallowing in the same old garbage. This story arc could easily have been wrapped up in two or three chapters; we’ve been stuck here since February, and now the year is almost over. Giving the author credit for such a massive waste of time doesn’t make you a better reader.

The gods probably thinking, "demn, girl. I just dialed it to 2 and you're already this insane?"

 

[lolikonjack]

this flashback is getting way too long, the author is trying their best to make the reader feels sorry for her, huh.

 

[theblasblas]

Dang, it seems this is the end of this arc, and though we got some nice blushy faces from little Vicky, she didn't end up getting lewded. I was hoping for some masturbation at least.

Regardless, this has honestly been the best arc in a long time. A nice break from the non-stop torture porn.
There's some real nice parallels between Vicky and Raoul, the kind of shit she was pulling to protect Raoul is very similar to what Raoul is doing for his revenge, if only a lot more quick and easy.

When I watch tragic stories like this, I like to think of "what-ifs?" Like if Raoul could've seen Little Vicky and realized the thing protecting him was actually just a child like him, how different would this have turned out? I like to think he'd have been able to tame Little Vicky.

 

[Iskarioth]

The whole manga was extremely black with a tiny bit of white so far, hence why I appreciate the backstory. Finally the comically, retardedly evil villains are being fleshed out in a single example and people are having a hissy fit. " Not enuf mindless torture porn. REEEE"

 

[theblasblas]

Can you honestly explain what she could do to justify all this?

I get people think a hard life is the reason she was lead down this path, but she still did everything. Including tons of blatant murder. What could she do that gets you to think she is redeemed?

She basically been brainwashed, and at times outright puppeteered, by gods since she was a child. And all because she wanted to protect someone. Basically the only thing she needs to do is acknowledge she did something wrong and work to do good.

I don't know if she'll be redeemed, but I do at least hope that Raoul shows her mercy. Perhaps in the "put down a rabid dog" sense, and spare her any further torments in hell.

 

[Xelarion]

Corrupted... Well, at least we now know that it took multiple successive mindbreaks and staged ultimatums to break this girl.

Everything still happened, and she is still responsible for her choices... But the weight of her hand is nothing compared to the hands that forced her actions. Try to keep that in mind as we go forward, okay?

 

[Xelarion]

Genuinely cheered more for those f’ing maids dying than the Pedo Prince. They f’ing sucked and they deserved it


This chapter definitely painted her as less sympathetic and closer to the version of her we saw in chapter 1 (with maybe a memory wipe between those 2 points). She’s cruel and vindictive and far less deserving of s redemption than than scared little girl from the start of this arc.

the question is, whowas she really? Did the gods corrupt her or just reveal her true nature? I’m leaning towards the latter since mc rechecked the souls of those he brought to paradise to ensure they remained pure of heart.

The logic of the latter falls flat when you remember that Victoria has never once undergone this kind of screening in the previous chapters, and that this is a bunch of demigod-like servants probing into her psyche to try to appease their new Lord Raoul.

We know from the first three chapters that Raoul has been very easily able to gain access to everyone within the human kingdom in order to orchestrate these elaborate revenge plots; we don't know when he could have possibly caught on, or previously done his own examinations of Victoria in order to be sure that his revenge on her was worthy of anything.
She spent an umpteenth number of months literally being used as a living seedbed and nutrient factory for an untold number of insects, bound magically to a cross and kept in a low-level state of perpetual awareness and regeneration--she has gotten the longest and least openly merciful treatment of anyone who has actively harmed Raoul and his life. There is no reason that, if she were ever truly directly responsible for every action in her life, that he should leave her alive or have interfered in death so far as to now dictate the full extent of her soul's worth.

All this to say... The likelihood of her soul being clean, or cleaned from her continuous punishment and penance, is not zero...

 

[Kuroku]

This arc  is the author making up revenge targets: the newly introduced gods that puppeted Vicky.

To be fair it’s not fully making them up as they are all on the god chopping block from earlier. Adding them didn’t change his revenge targets just how many.

 

[manggek8]

ALSO, REJOICE EVERYONE! THE FLASHBACK ARC IS COMING TO AN END VERY SOON!! WE BOUGHT THE RAWS FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER EARLY~

How many chapters left before it ends?

It kinda like "Nature vs. Nurture" question for me but Vicky case is both are worse and she never ever have a chance to be better. Her good heart and intention is bad for good person while her innocence at the same it cruel child like more than angelic. TBH, Gods in that world are all sick f**ks and their shape living things in that world as they imagine what they should be even innocence little girl also have little dark nature to put from, Raoul might be error one but situation shape him tobe what story current is.

thank freeza this namick arc is almost over... shame this seems to introduce plotholes, likely will cause ANNOTHER flashback arc to fix later...

 

[StormSen]

We're heading towards the result of this flashback (which is actually Raoul's servants digging into her past).

I think that it's pretty clear that Raoul didn't know any of this. Also, it's quite likely that Victoria herself (for some reason) didn't remember this, but is now seeing it play out before her.

So...

1. Will Raoul's servants tell him? Probably. (Although he's locked away in his study, so that might excuse them not telling him right away.)
2. If/when Raoul learns this, how will he react?
3. Assuming that Victoria forgot (and has now seen), how will she react?

There are a lot of ways the author could go with this.

Update: Consider... Raoul is fundamentally broken. Very functional, but definitely broken. Victoria is likewise pretty darned broken. Match made in heaven hell?

I like Theodora, but she's not broken. A broken Victoria makes more sense as his wife. And it makes more sense for continuing the manga/story.

 

[dacraziguy]

I have no idea what the author is attempting to accomplish with this arc, but at this point I am just witing for this whole managa to be over already, not just this awfu arc.

Basically the author showed that Vicky was brainwashed by the god and she used to be bullied good girl, not sure what redeeming her at this point would do in the present. And second to show how fked up the gods are and how they play with humans.

 

[Mathias]

The gods need to be wiped out for this.
It's clear they corrupted an innocent girl into a twisted bitch.
