The Villainess Turns the Hourglass — Chapter 97

Alright, let's dive into what readers thought about The Villainess Turns the Hourglass Chapter 97! 🎉

This chapter was all about Mielle finally facing the music, and let's just say readers were living for it! There was a collective sigh of relief (and maybe a little schadenfreude 😈) seeing Mielle cornered. Her question, "Am I a bad girl?", got a laugh out of many, with replies ranging from "No, you're worse!" to "Girl, you're inhumane!" Most readers felt zero sympathy, calling her delusional and Rotten to the end, digging her own grave despite opportunities to stop. 🔥

Readers absolutely love that Aria isn't your typical 'misunderstood saint'. They appreciate her being a truly morally grey character, a vindictive villainess who masterfully manipulates situations so others make their own choices, fulfilling her revenge without her directly forcing them. 🙌

Of course, the MVP mention goes to Jessie! 🥰 Her unwavering loyalty and kindness, even testing Aria's tea herself, melted hearts. Readers adore the ride-or-die relationship between Aria and her maid/support system.

Interestingly, there was a bit of debate about Cain. While many acknowledged his past awfulness, some felt a touch of pity, noting his attempts to change after his punishment and wishing he hadn't been caught in Mielle's final scheme. Others firmly stated Aria owed him nothing and his end was just karma. ⚖️

Special shoutouts for the cool entrance scene ✨ and, yes, a few readers definitely noticed and appreciated the "hot guards" and Asher's simp energy. 😉

Overall, the feeling is excitement and anticipation – the Mielle arc is wrapping up, and everyone's ready for the sweet, sweet conclusion! Pop off, Aria! 🍾
