The Villainess Turns the Hourglass — Chapter 39

Alright, let's dive into the reactions for The Villainess Turns the Hourglass, Chapter 39! Readers are absolutely *loving* Aria this chapter, hailing her as a total badass and a smart queen in the making 👑. Her clever manipulation of the market and profiting off the higher nobles' struggles with the sugar shortage had everyone cheering. There's a definite appreciation for seeing the aristocracy system questioned and for Aria's business savvy – seriously, people were saying they're learning economics from this! 💰

The pure joy over Aria making serious bank is palpable; comments about money tasting good and wanting to lay in a bed of gold were hilarious 😂. On the flip side, Mielle's complaints about not having sugar while others faced real hardship earned her major eye-rolls and calls of being naive. Readers also enjoyed seeing Lady Isis put in her place and the perfect dynamic between Aria and the Crown Prince, calling them a match made in heaven as they team up against the nobles.

Overall, Chapter 39 was a hit, solidifying Aria's status as a brilliant and entertaining villainess. While one reader noted a slight concern about her reliance on the hourglass, the overwhelming sentiment is pure admiration for her intelligence and strategic moves!
