The Villainess Turns the Hourglass — Chapter 23

Alright, let's dive into the reader reactions for The Villainess Turns the Hourglass - Chapter 23! 😊

Readers are absolutely loving Aria in this chapter! A big theme is how refreshing it is to see her truly embrace the "villainess" role instead of becoming instantly soft. People are calling her a "proper villainess," a "master manipulator," and praising how smart and cunning she is, especially in her subtle methods compared to Mielle's more aggressive tactics.

Aria's interactions, particularly with the new maid Annie, were highlighted as perfect examples of her skill in reading people and pulling just the right strings. Readers find it satisfying and sometimes hilariously cheeky to watch her work her magic. ✨

Oscar is a hot topic too! While some feel a little bad for him, most commenters see him as weak, easily swayed, and definitely not the main love interest candidate. His easily "bully-able face" and lack of perceived faithfulness didn't exactly win him many hearts as a romantic lead, but he's certainly proving useful to Aria's plans.

The biggest theory buzzing around involves the mysterious white-haired guy who appeared. Many readers are *convinced* he's working for the Crown Prince, Asher, and there's a hilarious misunderstanding going on! 😂 The prevailing theory is that Asher met Aria, thought she was Mielle, and now gifts and attention intended for Aria are mistakenly going to Mielle. Everyone is eagerly anticipating the moment Asher realizes the truth! 🕵️‍♀️

Other minor points included comments on Cain giving off creepy brother vibes 😬, and some readers are eagerly awaiting the official return of the Crown Prince (the real ML!) to the story to spice things up even more.

Overall, readers are super satisfied with Aria's schemes and finding the unfolding plot, especially the potential misunderstanding with Asher, really entertaining. It's clear everyone is hooked on Aria's rise! 💪
