Elsa fight back!!!

 

[UdenEmpati]

well that's actually an interesting answer to the "Time Travel Fuckery".
I like that it makes "Dorothee" both antagonistic, and still somewhat relatable in having motives that very much make sense from Elsa's perspective - at least until Evie's Elsa came along and lived the life she did.

Now it's up to the our Intrepid Heroines to kick the curse's ass, then Dorothee's, and then go and fully enact that nice little vignette we had awhile back.

Thanks for the chapter. This is one of my favorite Yuri titles currently running and I always get a big ol' hit of Dopamine whenever I see it update in my feed.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Jackist]

Are they seriously going to do time travel again?

 

[GLFanatic]

I know everybody in this thread felt the same gut punch as I did. OG Elsa is a b*tch!

 

[NinjaGoemon]

I want to comment on the time looping but that just spoils every series with time looping

 

[SrNevik]

Sometimes this series feels like it's deliberately creating its own spin on "I'm in Love with the Villainess," plot points and this is another one of those times. That felt familiar. Fun chapter though. I like the turn.

I personally don't see it that way.
To me, here "Dorothee" have to play the "bad guy"'s role for this Elsa to be more confident in herself which is the main reason the curse manifested so strongly. Even if what she said about Elsa being a fragment of herself , I don't think her goal is to take over her body but to not let Elsa self pitying, insecurity destroy herself and the breakthrough they got so far, for that Elsa need to get past said insecurity(as "Dorothee" is pretty the source of it), accept her own reality and grow stronger mentally and conquer the curse.
"Dorothee" taking over her body won't do it as Yvonne will notice the change and that will be a waste of her effort (we have seen before that she's already weakened for some reason).
We can see at the end of chapter that the curse color change from dark to golden, a sign of that it has somewhat worked.
That just my opinion on this for now

THIS is exactly what I was going to say... However that part was ins the really shitty part of ILTV where the storyline went completely off the rails and now I consider everything after fun times with the twins to not evem exist...
I really hope they do THIS part better than ILTV did......

Even if what she said about Elsa being a fragment of herself , I don't think her goal is to take over her body but to not let Elsa self pitying (negative thinking and all) destroy herself and the breakthrough they got so far (as she said in previous chapters), for that Elsa need to get past said insecurity, accept her own reality and grow stronger mentally and conquer the curse.

I'm thinking that most of that is right on, but I'm also thinking that she was giving Elsa a valid choice. She would've probably gone thru with her plan if Elsa had said Okay, but I'm pretty sure she wanted (and expeted) her to act like she did and has a way to stop the curse even if they didn't merge. I think it'll probably be a much harder way, but it'll probably be the better way.
Or...at least I hope so....

I do think she's playing the role of the antagonist for Elsa (and thus for Evie), but I think you make good points about her true (currently not-stated) motives in doing so.

I do think she'll have to be "defeated" by Elsa & Evie before the end of this (because by her own admission, even if they can currently coexist, she's not going to be able to stick around unless she can reabsorb Fragment Elsa), but her end goal is still the preservation of Evie and the timeline/prevention of the Bad Ending, unless I'm more lost in the narrative than I thought - and she's already lost her Evie.

Making certain that some part of her lives on, and happily, would be good enough for her, because at the end of the day she's still Elsa. This is probably just her way of ensuring the "Best Elsa" carries through that can see the job done, in the end. Whether that's her or "fragment Elsa", is probably immaterial to her beyond that.

Howdy! I'm FLOWEY. FLOWEY the FLOWER!

 

[pikonyanko]

i do know this part is not exist in the WN, but i kinda like this change

Spoiler

there's no part about current elsa is a replica of future elsa in the WN but this also affect how the final climax will play out if what future elsa say here is true, or maybe they just gonna make a plot on how it work
tough i kinda understand why the author changed some stuff from the WN since the WN ver really need some change to be more enjoyable to read

 

[Omega_Keiichi]

Wow... I am amazed at how this arc is getting worse with each chapter. It screams having a twist just to have a twist that was hard to predict... I mean Dorothee having an underhanded plan is fine, but changing her to evil because... her emotions are going numb but only the good ones coincidentally?? And I guess the curse will consume Elsa's soul but not Dorothee's for some reason???

tldr: What the actual fuck is going on, and more importantly WHY write the story this way?!

Yeah I kinda agree, all of this feels unnecessary, if there is no "It's actually needed to combat the system" twist then it's just bad writing.

 

[Savok]

I always figured it was the curse using Dorothee's face? I don't know anymore.

I wonder if the writer reads Western stuff. This reminds me of Ikol.

Heh, yeah I remember how eerily similar the early chapters were until it finally differentiated itself.

 

[Tuna_Kaslana]

Maybe in some twisted fanfic out there, I'd see this Dorothee ending up with this Evie

 

[NIPHY]

I think Dorothee only said those things to help elsa and Eve... ain't no way she's helping Eve if all she wants was to take over else's body. 🤔

Like she did one time 😅 she drugged Yvonne because she follow a stranger instead of going to her date.

Did you forget what Dorothee said not three or four chapters ago? The system (read as "The Game") is trying to reassert itself so the story plays out as normal. She's trying to throw as many wrenches into the cogs as possible to fully break the game, and having her past self/replicate experience taking on the curse for Evie to come swooping in to reaffirm her love and devotion, thereby pushing back the curse is all a part of the plan.

I will agree that the part of her emotions numbing is kind of a contrivance.

My thought is that Elsa and Dorothee are separate individuals, and Dorothee is the anomaly that is being erased. She just needed Elsa to believe that she is a replica to further push the system into breaking.
