What did Zig Forums think of the new chapter?

I am confused, by the way it turned out

So is she going to make him buy her mother right? Thats why he just lose the game.

doesn't it seem like he lost with full intent?
its so weird

Isn't she dead tho

How? I thought it was pretty straightforward. Maomao's mom got pregnant, thought Rakan ran away, got syphilis from too much sex work. Maomao hates him because of how her mom turned out, regardless of intentions.

Seemed a long walk for a short drink of liquor with salt and sugar.

This has been an interesting development overall. The endgame is not very clear to me.

I'm confused if he know if his waifu is alive or not

It's looking like Maomao arranged this so Rakan would finally fulfill the promise to buy her mother off, and take care of her. Rakan looked like he wanted to all this time anyway, but was turned away by the granny.

Finally we see the reason for this flashback

Good chapter. Everything was as expected except for the stuff with his uncle.

Completely forgot about this scene. It's about to get published in my country, it will be a good excuse to reread the whole thing.

I've reread the series multiple times now, there are just so many great scenes that hit hard. Wish it got more attention. An anime might help.

Yes, they're retarded.

Then what girl is he going to buy?

From what I remember Catcat didn't ask for anything in the WN, so I don't really know. Maybe to pay for her big sister to offer to Rihaku?

I don't understand why Maomao doesn't forgive her father. It wasn't his fault.

Maomao will never end up with the male lead. He's the future emperor and those always have harems with strict rules for everyone including the empresses

Just because you didn't act with malice doesn't mean you're not responsible for your actions

no that is clear, I rather question why he never tried to check if CatCat's mom is still alive, because he saw the daughter and his uncle.
Instead he just lingered around never approaching them afterwards.

It's one thing to get someone killed because you chose to drive on an icy road, and it's another to get someone killed because you wanted to take them out for dinner and got hit by a drunk driver. Everything would have worked out if Rakan hadn't suddenly been sent off for 3 years. I think it's unfair to hold him responsible.

I dont think thats the problem, the problem is the after the three years

No. It was because he was acting like some creepo with blood all over his face. Really.

Both Catcat and Rakan are highly autistic.
Also, Rakan continuously antagonized her without realizing it by trying to reclaim her for several years (and Catcat understanding that this weirdo wanted to separate her from her adoptive father, for example).
It is a bit over-dramatized, I admit.

is that something from the novel? that Rakan tried to "steal" her?

He was so dense that he didn't realize it even after getting laid with her

Although she wasn't too smart about cutting off her finger either. Why would you have to do it instead of writing a letter and telling him that he has a daughter? Although he never even received the finger... Shitty postal service ruining lives for 4000 years and counting

In the WN he intentionally tried to get the mother pregnant to diminish her value to be able to redeem her himself. So it is his fault for not taking responsibility. Wasn't that also hinted in the mango?

I don't remember exactly, but as I said in his responsibility for the mother's death was more obvious, and Catcat's adoptive father did not want to give her to him. Rakan being Rakan, it is at least implied that he didn't take the hint and did as much as he could to get her back.

why is catcat always acting like jinshi is going to rape her? I know he does want to rape her but has always respected her so far

Cats do not like people that are too affectionate. Jinshi and Rakan will just have to suffer.

IIRC no, she told him to buy another person, but he bought her anyway

she's dead in the WN, but changed in the LN to be alive. the manga follows the LN. he married her and then she dies

He does his best to not be the future emperor, and now that he has two half-brothers and a slave stamp to the empress' family, the emperor has accepted that he really, really doesn't want to be the future emperor.

catcat is my daughteru

Remember the end? Go is his specialty, he would win in it. He had wondered during the act, what would happen if she instead won by playing the other game. hence why he threw. He wanted to let her win and see what she would do. maybe.

Her pinky was cut off. Her mother is an unsalvageable human wreck. She already has a dad, and Rakan is also annoying. Catcat just has no need for him.
