I fvcking hate how Josh is the ML and we're yet to see any significant moment for them. It pisses me off so much. First, she gets her first kiss from the CP — not her fault but she didn't put the "boundary" and "consent" she's been screaming up till now. She's giving advices (her "ideal man") to each male leads which contradicts with each other. Now she breaks her promise to Josh to go dance with Aiden to make up, but the moment he opened his mouth, he gets shut. She's also the wishy washy type of FL and it's making me even more mad. She's the equivalent of an indecisive ecchi harem isekai MC and it sucks cause it's ruining the story. Like overall, I just feel bad for Josh.
I hope they address this issue:
The princess, a royalty has been threatened and almost k!lled by father and son. The act of the son from the first chapter was supposed to be enough to execute them and his family, and strip them all from their noble positions. Yet that didn't happen.
Yes that is true, since they have sir knight as a evidence/witness, Also with her power its nothing hard to do since they're just a Count fam in the end, there family is weak
So funny HAHAHAHAH the reactions reminds me of Gintama
So we know that ogLucia is still inside her body. But what about ogAlexandra?
She is the "og alexandra"?, she just regained her past memories. In which is why she changed
With that logic, is Lucia and ogLucia also the same person?
Yes ?
??? Wasn't it supposed to be two souls inside Lucia? OgLucia and the reincarnator. It was already mentioned in the manga.
???? I think i misread lucia with Alexandra but what?????
basically lucia reincarnated/transmigrated into oglucia's body, whereas alexandra remembered memories of her past life, so ogalexandra is the same as alexandra as she only gained memories rather than have a new person go into the body. i hope that made sense
Different souls, same body. With OGLucia turning out to be a yandere of sorts for the new lucia.

OGLucia basically helped orchestrate the fall of the CP and Lucia so that she'd get Lucia all to herself.
It's more like she's "thankful" to "Lucia" because when "Lucia" explained to Oglucia that they're in a world of a game Oglucia became aware that they're going in a loop where she makes the male leads fall for over and over, So she orchestrated oglucia's fall so she could break out of the cycle. (Someone explained it in the comments, they read the novel)
I don't get why the FL gets to be called dumb just because she isn't giving you the reaction you guys wanted. She's not attached to this world and wants to go back home. Why can't people just understand this fact instead of pushing her to be molded like the typical isekai'd character who wants to stay alive? She doesn't care that the three are the primary reason why she will die in the future. So is she still supposed to feel hatred nor be wary of the characters?
I think it's mostly because she's not interesting like Penelope from DitOEftV and Eris from KtV. Dana is more gentle, isn't ambitious with her goal (she's just waiting for them to get together so she can leave), and etc. When she's not being ambitious, ppl think of her as being dumb there could be other reasons tho.
Nah... my sole reason to not like her wholy is her opinion of Stella. And I don't mean accepting that her "best friend" fell for her man at first sight, will steal him from her and cause her death. And let's be honest, that would be enough to dislike someone but put up with them. I mean how Stella is rude, bratty, annoying, jealous and spoiled and mc still manages to think of it as being cute...
Because Stella is the protagonist of the book she read. She knows her as a kid-like girl who doesn't think twice about their actions. Who would instantly feel sorry once they realize their mistakes. And as explained, Aru and Stella are the protagonists of the book she read. A couple who madly falls in love with each other at first sight. So seeing Stella's jealousy over Dana and Aru made her think it was cute. Because whenever she sees her being jealous, she thinks, "Aru likes you, silly."
Yeah I know she can feel that because she disassociates with that reality. I mean that I don't relate with her both as a reader and as a current character in the book because unlike her I'd hate Stella's character both by her personality and what she did to the og, or book, Dana. So in her place I'd be holding myself back from suckerpunching her instead of thinking her cute.
But as I said, this is one thing I dislike in her, not everything. And I'd probably do the same as her to come back to earth... probably... that or sent the plot to hell and be like f this sh, immout... (￣∇￣")
Ah... that doesn't mean I think Dana is dumb ok? She's pretty smart actually. I just disagree with her about Stella... (=・ω・=)
Guys, if you don't have the patience for some Sibel character development, please just drop this. This manhwa is obviously not for you. (I feel like you guys just want the "already perfect" characters). The same goes to those people who doesn't want to try to understand nor interpret Sibel's actions. You guys just read the manhwa as it is whilst not trying to theorize nor interpret certain situations. And it's upsetting cause there have been many misinterpreted characters before that got the hate they didn't even deserve. And the most frustrating part is, nobody seems to learn their lessons. Certain characters do what they do because of a reason. Especially the ML/FL/end games. Because why would the MC choose them if they were wrong or bad in the first place?
I can understand how readers can sometimes be impatient when it comes to character development, but readers hating Sibel makes sense here considering the genre of the original novel Marilyn read and how it ended for Larensia. She’s literally trying to prevent that ending from happening again, so readers being critical and not excusing his behavior now doesn’t mean they don’t expect him to change later on.
Er, you do realize that most of the ML/FL/end games in most Mary Sue-centered and cliché-filled romance novels are usually wrong and bad, from a realistic and real world perspective? That's exactly why they're called "cliché" and "Mary-sue-ish"
Exactly. The genre of the novel that these characters originally belonged in had already determined that most of them would be sick in the head, in some way... We're meant to realize that they were all originally inside a very badly-written, cliché-filled, Mary Sue-centered, shallow novel. That's why Marilyn has such a hard time changing the plot.
By the way, I say that because I feel this story is quickly heading in the same direction as "Beware of the villainess", where the characters' cliché and nauseating behavior got a lot worse before they started getting better.
I can understand that, however, there have also been many cases where the OGFL/MC would turn out to be the bad person all along. I'm not necessarily saying Lara is bad, it's just we don't know what the author plans for this story. From a writer's perspective, they would always want to throw plot twists here and there that would surprise the readers. Like they would write something about ML being misunderstood later on. So I don't get the idea on why we readers should let ourselves be fooled (sorry for the words). Especially when it is already obvious Mari would end up with Sibel.
Yes, but we read in real world author's perspective. And most writers would always want their books to be unique so they try to throw plot twists here and there. And most of the time, they just make it as ML being misunderstood all along. So I don't get the idea on why we readers should be fooled (sorry for the word), and hate on certain characters. Then later regret what we did and said. Especially when we all know where this story would end (Mari ending up with Sibel).
Haha, well, it's just the way many people enjoy a story, I guess. They love hating certain characters and enjoy a story more when they find a character to hate. On the other hand, no matter what happens later on in the story, it is still somewhat true that the ML at the present is being, at least, annoying... so, if revealing the ML as misunderstood means that an author once again will eventually throw some sob backstory of the ML's at the readers' faces, to try to get them to excuse the ML's less than stellar prior moments, many readers may not fall for it just the same, and rather than start feeling pure sympathy for the ML like the author wants, and regretting what they said before, they may feel annoyed at seeing yet another author try to manipulate their emotions by pulling one of the most annoying, cheapest and UNORIGINAL tricks in the bag... I mean, it's so typical it's become bad writing... and many readers just get frustrated whenever that plot twist is abused.
True, but for me, that plot twist isn't always so bad since we would see a person changing and realizing their mistakes. Like them having a chance to better themselves. Because what if this character was brought up in a toxic environment? What if this chracter encountered something traumatic in his childhood? These would all be factors on how the character would be in the presented book. And as the series progresses, they realize they aren't alone as they heal from the scars. Just like how some people in the real world changes for the better, the characters too have their own stories. Though I can admit, it's becoming overused.
This is becoming long, but to summarize, I think it would be bad for readers to invalidate a characters' backstory just because of the mistakes they've done in the present. Because their (character) life experiences made them that way. This is gonna be a SPOILER for "My Stepdaughter is just so cute(?)",

but that was also the main reason why he was being distant from his second wife. Because his first wife (26) was a pedophile who had raped him (13) every chance (even when he had a fever) she gets just so she can give birth to a prince.
I could understand that perspective. Personally, I just see it as following the flow of the story, so until we actually see anything, being responsive to what is shown now is fine. That’s why I don’t think readers disliking him means they won’t accept development later if it happens. I also disagree with a character’s background excusing all their actions. It makes it understandable, but doesn’t necessarily excuse it.
Spoilers for “I’m a Stepmother, but my daughter is just too cute”

Regarding Sirvirian, I feel like his situation is a bit different lol. His actions as a father are certainly neglectful, but he is never malicious. So when his background was reveal, his actions were excusable (at least to me). Sibel, on the other hand, was kinda evil in the original novel and seems to be the same way now, so he’d need a MAJOR excuse to make me think his actions were somewhat justified.
"Actions are understandable, not inexcusable" — I agree on you on that one. Because regardless of their past, they still did wrong. However, what I'm kind of skeptical is how there are many possible foreshadows/hints that keeps showing but some people chooses to ignore them. But I do agree and am kind of enlightened over your statement of how readers are just showing what they feel at the moment. I guess I'm just a little bit frustrated cause the cycle just keeps going on and on, and people doesn't seem to learn from it.
Regarding Sirvirian, I do agree his case was sort of special/different. I wanted to show some misunderstood characters that actually make sense and "I’m a Stepmother, but my daughter is just too cute” came in my mind first. Sorry about that.
I can't with people being insensitive. FL already said she liked the prince. She had expressed it multiple times. So ofcourse she would consider being with him.
Besides, her relationship with Cabel rn is more like forced because she thinks ML would kill her or something.
However, she does loves ML in the future, but I think for now, her feelings for him are just budding. It hasn't bloom yet.
My theory is maybe this is Dana's third life already. Like 1st life, our world, where she read the novel. 2nd life, novel world, and she follows the book thinking if she dies (or the book finishes), she'll go back to 'our world. Then ML turns back time and she also goes back in time so this is her third life now.
I really hope so, it will be sad if the reincarnator is not the real dana
But other manhwa usually : 1st life - fantasy world, 2nd life - korean modern world where FL read her past life as a novel but she doesn't remember that the novel is real, 3rd life - going back to 1st life, but FL thinks she just got into a novel world, then gradually remember that the novel world is originally her first life
For those of you confused, the manhwa is about NCT's lore. Most of the scenes and images we see are from music videos. For example, the telephone booth was seen in NCT U's 7th Sense during Mark's rap. The kids we see getting something in a box is from NCT Dream's Chewing Gum. The guy with the curly hair is Mark during NCT 127's Limitless era. The whistle in the current chapter (Chapter 3), is from NCT 2021 Beautiful. It's already somewhat confusing for me as a fan for almost 8 years now so I'd understand if non fans would find it confusing. I don't really know the direction of the manhwa, but I'm guessing we will have more explanation in the future chapters. From a fan reading this, the first few chapters is about:
Them 23 (yes, NCT has 23 members) having the same dream. They're trying to find each other to learn why they are having such dreams. And the whistle is one of their tool to find each other.
This honestly makes me remember TEN's (NCT members) song, Dream in a Dream. So I'm guessing that would be this story's concept.
Oh, and the first guy in the first chapter is theorised to be NCT's Jisung. The five guys in the following chapter are members from NCT U's 7th Sense. And the guy in the following chapter is NCT's Mark. The two guys in the latest chapter, idk though.
