Chapter 3 Part 5 (the side story) is basically half of the twist reveal, and yet everybody is reading it like nothing.
I only posted it to make the TOC look a little less empty, but to think that so many people would go ‘it’s such a great novel! continue this!’ after having majorly spoiled it for themselves.
Don’t blame me if you find the next 15 releases spoiled because of this.
its mostly spoiled ever since the prologue so no harm done.

I mean the mc already gave a vague description of what’s gonna happen and she won’t do anything to stop it and clearly she can’t do anything to stop it and has resolved herself to go through it until the end, she has been giving hints at every chapter so far. The novel is just merely a story of what happens in between.

Actually, it’s not. The novel is actually a story is something completely different, and the mood of the story is important to this.
By reading something that’s basically a short self-reflection before the final battle, you’ve half ruined it for yourself.

Well, while the prologue spoil what happens, 3-5 reveals an interesting thing people might not have thought of it before.
“In the end, it was never told what she was thinking, what she was aiming for, or why she stood in the way of the protagonist.”
It is speculation on her part, but it does shed light on the possibility of it being more than ‘just cuz’.
So when you look back on the whole thing, there’s now a whole new light to it.
Thus in a way this can be considered spoiler :v

I just navigate from page to page using the “next post”/”previous post” links at the bottom of each post. (I started doing this when you started posting Otoburi chapters before linking them on the Otoburi ToC.) I didn’t (and still don’t) see a spoiler tag on that post; is it on the ToC? It seemed a little far ahead, but it was a side story, so I figured it was comprehensible at that part of the story.
That said, I wouldn’t have realized it was spoilers if you hadn’t made this post.

IMO to that chapter I still think it for myself that this is just a summary of novel she read and she just describe Inferno Princess life in that novel(she even said the novel author sealed her way of life to stay true to villain to the end even that novel is not finished).
I damn well know the her(MC) story as Inferno Princess will differ so much than what was written in the novel.
LikeLike
The mood is different to what happens at the start of the book. And it reveals that she’s a lot more pessimistic about her future than you’d expect at the beginning.
When she finally expels her brother, you think that she’s going to try to live for yourself. It isn’t until later that you find out how pessimistic she is, or how fixated on the novel she is.
Before that, throughout the war arc, you’re supposed to wonder why she’s so fixated on dying a good death instead of trying to change the future.
It’s only after the war ends, she basically dies, do you read this chapter. And it’s only then that everything comes together.
Or so you think, but the next chapter (chapter 4) is filled with even more reveals, so yeah.

What you say has it own right but you can rest assured we reader have different POV and we can fit that chapter somewhere between earlier chapter and that a good move to not include all content in that so nothing biggy there.

As for earlier, sorry for being short with you. I was in a bad mood, but shouldn’t have taken it out on you.
To clarify, the actual reveals are in Chapter 4. Before that, the spoilers are mostly to the mood that the story takes, and the mindset of the protagonist.
Since both are spoiled in Chapter 3 Part 4, minor things like the fact that there’s a war, or the fact that she gets hurt because of the war are just minor details that shouldn’t affect your enjoyment.

For instance, I read all the insane random spoilers for Legendary Moonlight Sculptor in jcafe… and those are complete random nonesense… but I’m so addicted to Weed!!! MUST. KNOW. WHAT. HAPPENS. And then I happily read it when the halfway decent chapter comes out as well.
