Welp, guess it's time for me to set myself up for ridicule by showing sympathy for one of our Villain Sue's victims. Poor Veri — any of the servants would've done the same thing she did if given the right incentive, because that's just how employment under a shite boss works. Aria would've...
Ugh, this shit again. Someday, somewhere, I swear I'll find an otome isekai title that doesn't deliberately craft a situation in which the female lead is justified for mistreating her servants.
I, too, would love to live in a world where everyone has good, predictable tastes and knows exactly how to express what they think of a new food or drink on the spot
Your translation is always worth waiting for. I think you captured the ambiguity of Yuhon's non-confession pretty well compared with other groups — I know there was some discourse over whether or not he outright denied or admitted to killing Kashi, but this translation makes the nuances really...
Hah, I called it (kind of). He did all of it for nothing.
I'll admit that seeing "Epilogue" scared me — this is getting another "season," right? There are so many loose ends and things we don't know yet (like what was the factor that killed her this time? Does is have to do with the other...
The bodyswap twist is definitely the most interesting thing this series has done so far. Is it too much to ask that we get some To Be You/Your Throne-style drama where OG Beatrice and OG Raeliana are forced to understand each other's circumstances better? OG Raeliana clearly deserved better...
This is the only otome isekai series I can think of with a half-decent antagonist (and one with sympathetic motivations, no less!), so I hope "Beatrice" gets some wins in even if she'll obviously never get the guy. I like her poker face.
@Gasky "Almost succeeded in indirectly convincing someone to go to a dangerous place which she reasonably could've already known was dangerous" is hardly grounds for execution. Besides, Thermian argument applies here. You can come up with whatever in-universe justification you want, but the...
I would enjoy this series a thousand times more without the forced #girboss moments and heavily exaggerated social drama. What woman in any culture would go to a gathering to provoke a married woman of higher social standing for funsies, and with a blatantly obvious lie no less? Even before...
So it's AU-friends to enemies (at least on Lamia's part) to lovers, huh? I can be down for that.
Given the title, it would be interesting if, after all of his Man Pain and cruel-to-be-kind actions, Aquila still fails to save Lamia in this timeline. Part of me wants the author to just go full...
I'm always happy to see this series update. The plot is more engaging than your typical otome isekai and the characters are generally pretty likable. Thanks for the translation!
Lamia is projecting a lot of her golden child guilt onto Carmen and Aquila, which is not cool, but totally understandable. She doesn't seem willing to accept that both her and her dad continue to ignore Uriel's emotional needs and don't really treat him like a full person, focusing instead on...
Basically the only thing that'll salvage this flashback for me at this point is if it turns out that Yuhon didn't kill Kashi. It's too obvious and once again pins all the sins of the past on him.
Thanks as always for the translation!
This series is such a fascinating outlier in Korean webcomics, mainly because it seems to be actively trying to make the audience dislike its main characters for their immoral values and actions. Aquila almost seems like a deconstruction of the dark, brooding ML you see in many otome isekai...
This entire story is cringeworthy propaganda, but it's so honest about its agenda that it's kind of entertaining anyway. Can't wait to watch blonde knight lady 'rediscover her femininity' and abandon the job she's actually good at just to win the approval of our conservative MC.
