Honestly, I don't feel like I need to see a redemption arc for Annie. Or at least, I wouldn't feel bad if they didn't make up in the end.

Uhg... she just can't catch a break. Constantly being enslaved by various people, then she finally gets her freedom, but oh wait, now she's got her loyalties magically twisted around by a stranger again. I hope the author wasn't expecting us to like the loli, like at all. 🙄

It's impressive how common this trope is in Chinese pop culture. I knew someone once who wouldn't let their kid eat anything with cinnamon in it because traditional Chinese medicine says that it's an aphrodisiac. Maybe not quite on the level of catching a cold from getting rained on, but still...

Although it was a pretty bad move to do anything with the paper on the ground, I suspect that they were going to use it against her no matter what, and were just waiting for a good moment. It seems like they're deliberately setting her up.

What kills me about the archway castle is that it's such a nonsense design. 🤣

Every time a new chapter comes out featuring the truth officers, I think more and more strongly that the truth officers should stop existing all together. What a truly stupid organization.

Everyone's talking about the prince and princess, and I'm just sitting here wondering what the deal is with those maids... *browbeats the princess* *princess looks sad* "Princess, what's wrong?" ... do you really need to ask? 😐

Is it just me, or is lion/cat/ike-man getting kinda creepy? If this turns into one of those "I like you because you look like this other person I liked 200 years ago," things, it's gonna be super awkward rather than remotely romantic.

That long, drawn out explanation of undead rankings is... inexplicably formal. It's almost as weird as hearing about how the undead exclusively use Scrum to delegate tasks. "Higher ranked monsters are able to have two stand-up meetings per day instead of one. And always remember the...

The new wife might or might not be a bad person. The dad lied to his first family, so who knows what he told his new family. The child obviously doesn't have a hand in it, but scumbag dad is a scumbag. I get that sometimes marriages don't work out, that sucks that it doesn't seem like there...

I've been duped, bamboozled, smeckledorfed! But it's all good. 😋 And I feel like my stance on the moral of the story hasn't changed much. I like that they're able to point out that forgiveness vs revenge is not a one or the other dichotomy. Since the victim seems okay with it, having her...

This chapter was so abstract, I repeatedly lost track of who was talking and who they were talking about. I think maybe I figured it out eventually, but my confidence level isn't very high.

So it's kind of like a post-post-apocalyptic world?

I'm glad that she's starting to take at least some kind of actions at all, even if they're just baby steps at this point. Don't want to be stuck in the cabin? Why not burn it down now? You know you're going to be punished no matter what you do, might as well make it worthwhile.

@Waffley It does seem like the captain that chased after her and discovered the crime scene is being blamed for the murder. Obviously that's not correct. (On the other hand, he did tell them exactly when and where to ambush her when he'd been ordered to keep it a secret. Even if it was...

@AaniK A lot of people have the mistaken notion that being harsh like that will "toughen people up," when in reality it's not true. This misconception is usually partially due to survivorship bias, where only the success stories are looked at and the others are mostly ignored. The people who...

I'm really curious about how the celestial mechanics work in this world. Does the sun not apparently move through the sky over the course of the day? There should be only the tiniest sliver of land at the very base of the tree that is in shade all day long, and even this wouldn't be any...

@UltraNoob Planck time exists due to the inability to measure time in incredibly short amounts according to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. It does not say that objects are immobile during that time, it only says that we cannot accurately measure it. Planck time is the distance light can...

@Kayriel Time exists. It is fundamentally linked to space. (hence spacetime) People may have created units of measurement, like seconds and hours, but the observed phenomenon that those units measure is as real as anything other physical phenomenon. It's as real as atoms, planets, and stars...

At first I thought the maid was bound to be super annoying, but it seems she has more going for her than just wacky tone-breaking randomness.
