Happily Ever Afterwards — Chapter 63

Alright, let's dive into the reader reactions for Happily Ever Afterwards, specifically Chapter 63! This chapter definitely hit some nerves.

The biggest topic? Everyone's feelings about Richt. While some are absolutely *drooling* over his side profile, abs, and general proportions 🤤, others are heartbroken seeing him suffer and wallow in alcohol. There's a definite split: some feel he's being selfish and needs to man up and fight for Peony, while others argue he's been fighting alone and the Emperor and Empress are the truly selfish ones, only caring about dragging him back to the palace for their own gain.

Speaking of the Emperor and Empress, they are *not* popular this chapter! Many readers find them utterly useless and selfish for prioritizing the empire over Richt's happiness, though a few commenters are trying to defend them, pointing out their efforts to protect him.

The true heroes this chapter? Andy and Marie! ❤️ Fans are obsessed with their dynamic, calling Andy the "best boy," "the rock," and everyone's wishing for a spinoff just for their love story. He's seen as the only one who can knock sense into Richt right now.

The theory that the current Peony's illness is linked to the "annoying" OG Peony ghost who's still tethered is also a hot topic. Readers really want OG Peony to just let go!

Overall, this chapter brought the stress and palace politics, leaving many readers anxious and wishing for more focus on the main couple and the beloved Andy/Marie duo! 🙌
