### Summary
Reader discussion is dominated by the shocking revelation of the hourglass's true power, with fans expressing immense excitement that Aria can now reverse time by a few minutes. This development is seen as the moment the story truly begins, fulfilling the promise of the manhwa's title and opening the door for more intricate schemes and "wild shenanigans." Alongside this major plot point, Aria's mother continues to be a fan-favorite, praised for being gorgeous, supportive, and "nonchalant." Readers theorize that Mielle is not intelligent enough to plot against Aria alone, speculating that she is being manipulated by her head maid, Emma, who is a source of intense dislike. However, Aria's methods have sparked a moral debate among readers. While her cunning is generally celebrated, many expressed significant discomfort and sympathy for the elderly servant who was fired as a casualty of her plan. These readers criticize the casual cruelty of aristocratic power plays and the toying with the livelihoods of lower-class workers who are powerless to refuse their employers' commands. Minor observations include comments on the "soulless" eyes of Aria's maid, Jessie, and amusement at Aria's cleverness in re-gifting a free item to Mielle.
