And then MC will misunderstand and think that the prince likes gruesome things because he's a sadist.

Due to the past memories, I feel like she should focus on the one who remembers. But maybe it'll still go the harem way, who knows.

I'm confused. Doesn't she still have the disease? How was she able to fight for so long?

Also, Serena and Illya are going to be MAD as hell after seeing what happened to the MC.

It's a manwha about a game, I'm certain that things change to fit the need of the narrative 100%

I'm getting so many mixed signals from this manhwa... like, of course I appreciate its gorgeous setup (and it even avoided the "locked in the game and unable to logout" trope), as well as extremely nice visuals and the inclusion of a female capture target.

But our main target is still the "cold dark-haired Northern duke", and as the heroine treats everything as a game, I'm having trouble getting immersed, too. I've seen a similar terminal illness misunderstanding play out in When the Villainess Falls in Love, and it was pretty entertaining (though at some point most of the readers started to feel really bad with the characters who were worried sick for the heroine); here, I'm not too sure.

Maybe I just need more time, and more chapters, to see where it's going with its general tone and direction.

She isn‘t locked in the game though? Like she talked about her forced logout here as well that was set up by her out of health reasons. I don‘t get what you‘re saying

Exactly, that's why said they avoided this trope even though it would've been so easy to repeat the formula.

Ah my brain skipped „avoided“ for some reason last night

Absolutely, the heroine is treating it like a game - and it is. Everything we've been shown is all still entirely within the realm of the intended experience of the game (even if the heroine hasn't seen it yet) and she seems outright bored with anything that happens that isn't tied to one of capture targets being attractive. Even the new plotline about the heroine's character being sick and the other characters being WAY more favorable to her is treated like "huh, that's weird" and not dwelled upon any further.

There's nothing weird going on with the game (at least as far as we know so far) - no being trapped in the game, no isekai situation where the game is a real world, the AI characters aren't developing some sort of sapience, nothing. So all we're supposed to be following so far is the story of the game itself... which the heroine has seen a hundred times and doesn't interact with outside a purely mechanical "gamer" perspective. She's just treating the story as a checklist and the characters as eye candy.

We aren't able to connect with the story inside the game because the heroine doesn't care. And despite throwing out crazy stuff like the heroine being a faulty clone living in a futuristic city with some sort of debilitating illness, the story outside the game has been purposefully ignored as well so there's really just nothing for us to get attached to.

It feels like both the heroine and all us readers are just sitting around waiting for the actual story to start.
