The Villainess Turns the Hourglass — Chapter 8

Hey there, fellow readers! Let's dive into what everyone was buzzing about in The Villainess Turns the Hourglass - Chapter 8. 😊

This chapter really got everyone talking, especially about our leading lady, Aria! A huge wave of comments celebrated her embracing her "villainess" side. People are loving that she's not turning into a softie and is actually using her cunning and strategic mind, even if it means being a bit ruthless. Many found her coldness and shifting personalities super cool and badass. Some even felt she gave off major Navier vibes (from Remarried Empress) or even Cruella de Vil energy! 👑

Aria's strategy of using her past as a "commoner" to gain sympathy was a point of debate. While some found it a clever tactic and understandable given her goals, others admitted it made them cringe a little, feeling it was manipulative or questioned its appropriateness with the noble ladies. 🤔

Speaking of highlights, let's talk about John! 😂 He stole the show for many, being described as absolutely adorable, cute, and a total mood, especially when he was just trying to enjoy his flower moment. His reactions, contrasting with Aria's intensity, were a source of amusement and affection from readers. The guards, in general, also got some positive comments on their looks, though Aria's stern treatment of them sparked discussion. Some felt it was justified after the betrayal in her past life, while others thought it was a bit harsh on them. 👀

The plot definitely thickened with the "butterfly effect" taking center stage! Aria's interaction with the 'blue-eyed' guy (who readers quickly theorized was the prince) and her warning about the viscount completely changed the outcome of the planned arrest. This big shift in the timeline has everyone excited and speculating about the future consequences and how the prince will react to Aria now. 🦋

Other chat points included appreciation for the beautiful art, although one funny observation pointed out the irony of Aria calling her dress "simple" when it clearly had a giant gem! There was also some questioning about the realism of Aria learning complex embroidery so quickly (in just two weeks!). And a few readers wondered if the revenge focus on Mielle is still necessary, given Mielle's portrayal in this timeline.

Overall, Chapter 8 was a hit, showcasing Aria's development as a true strategist and leaving readers eager to see how the newly altered future unfolds! ✨
