This is going to be good!!
Now now, two things: first is, of course, a reminder that not all development is necessarily a good one; we're merely at the beginning of Princess Hong Lyon, and I'm thriving to see the roles that both Baek Han and Do-Gyeol will play in a sort of redemption from her. Second, is that not all storytelling needs to be linear, as many people have pointed out that we may get glimpses of what she learned all these years, or that is just not the focus of the story in the authors view lol
Also, thanks for mentioning the ways to support the author! Tho it really falls on my lack of attention to prior warning, I'll try my best to follow the original too! It's such a promising series!
