Frankly I don't care whether or not the author references it as long as it has a purpose AND it's executed well. Last couple of chapters with her dumb romance insecurities and plotting surrounding her mom were so cringy that I wish I didn't read them.
Yeah whatever, abused youth boo hoo now she's grown up and "mature" woo hoo, sneaky plot shadow blah blah. It's sorta nice to see something OTHER than that ridiculous arc plot because it's taken several chapters to set it and several MORE chapters to resolve it.
Really holding out for better chapters and development over here, but this story is really uninteresting right now because her character is bland for however much she's been through. Her child days was so much better...
Thanks for the chapter, translation and quality and all.
