@Memnon Well said. I find her compelling because she's not a self-insert character who exists to vicariously provide wish fulfilment for readers, and do the things the readers would do. Her own trauma shapes her decisions.
Forgot that the prince's name was richard, so at first I thought those guys at the end worked for the ugly noble planning the raid from behind the scenes.
Gotta admit, this is actually pretty stupid. Imagine what Derrick would be thinking when he saw MC "Is that her? I guess I better run back home instead of following her!"
Of things I have not read. I just turned on 2FA, changed my pw and removed some persistent sessions so hopefully this resolves things. I just wanted to check if this has been a recent issue for others.
edit: Above actions did not help. Got weird results again.
You know the MC could probably get rid of this dude by telling whats her face he knows she's fake and wants to blackmail her. Watch him disappear for being a threat to the grand plan.
Edit: And he probably figured her out in her first life by already knowing OG Veronica was a two-faced bitch.
So about two chapters ago, we had an ending where there was a chat log. IIRC, usually you only see chats when it's the end of an arc. Is it possible that the chat has influenced the antagonist?
Edit: Plus IIRC, these "villains" are actually protagonists by shitty authors, probably making some...
