The Villainess Turns the Hourglass — Chapter 98

Wow, "The Villainess Turns the Hourglass" Chapter 98 had readers absolutely buzzing! This chapter delivered that intensely anticipated, ice-cold serving of revenge, and let's just say it was seen as *completely* deserved 👏.

The overall feeling is one of immense satisfaction and justice served for Aria. Many felt it was a beautiful, haunting, and powerful conclusion to Mielle's story arc, praising the art and writing for its impactful execution. Some readers even teared up despite the grim subject matter, particularly over the complex and sometimes conflicting emotions surrounding Mielle's final moments.

A big point of discussion was Mielle's final delusion – picturing a happy "what if" life with Aria. Some saw this as a tragic glimpse of lost potential, wondering if things could have been different if not for Emma's influence. Others felt it just highlighted Mielle's selfishness and delusion, even to the end, as her "happy future" was only possible by accepting the successful Aria she *became*. The debate is real! 👀

Readers also celebrated Aria for being a "true villainess," appreciating that she didn't shy away from her revenge and stayed morally gray, which they found realistic and refreshing ✨. And yes, Aria watching with opera glasses? Many found that hilariously savage 🤣. Goodbye, Mielle!
