My Possession Became a Ghost Story Chapter 100s Discussion

this series is written in multiple pov (third point of view and MC's point of view).

the MC's point of view is very light-hearted and where the comedy tag came in play. as someone previously said, our MC is very delulu, thinking she came into a romance fantasy world, assuming roles to the people she met (thinking her maid's younger sis is the female lead, the knight commander as the male lead, and so on). she imaginatively write the 'original plot' based on tropes that she often saw in her previous life.

on the other hand, the third point of view is where the horror tag came in play. others view MC as an unknown being who took over the young lady's body... and their view on the situation gave a very huge contrast to our MC's perspective that it felt chilling.

ML appears a lot, but until now there was not even a hug. only ML kissing MC's hand in greeting and dancing with MC for ball (and both scenes weren't romantic, that dance scene especially was a literal horror moment).

honestly, I'm not even sure how the romance of the story will progress, considering both didn't meet eye to eye. MC think he's a fish she need to control, view herself as the only real person while others as paper people... in ML's words, she view everyone as ants. while ML thought MC as a mysterious being that made him curious and fear, and couldn't help but getting attracted like a moth running towards fire....

I feel this story emphasize ML's role as 'that honest and noble knight who has fallen and bewitched by the demon'. instead of having a ML who was shipped with MC by the characters, we got everyone questioning his life choices thinking he was enchanted and need to woke up. he tried to justify himself but honestly even I agree that it wasn't convincing. also, the ML is the stoic but kind type so I kinda pity him for getting entangled with this mess.

all the prominent villains showed up until now are surprisingly females, nothing like a second ML trying to get MC nor supporting females antagonizing MC due to jealousy of getting close to ML. none of this at all.

instead, they all have reasons why they become villains. their reasons were quite justified that I actually pity them. these villains aren't just 2D papercuts, they made the wrong choice due their upbringing and that what made their fate irreversible.

out of three female villains that showed up until now, my favorite is Merai (end of her arc c45). the other two personally know what they want (I think, or at least Tenebrae does) and go for it, but Merai was kind of a blur.

a director orphanage who sells the children as s*aves. normally in these kind of stories, you'd think she wouldn't care for the children and embezzle the funds for herself. but no, she has the concept of 'selling one to feed others'.

she sold a child, use the money to feed the others, when the money ran out, she sold one again and the cycle repeats. In her monolog, she said she never cared about the children thus she had no guilt... but I think this is very contradictory.

her goal was to preserve the orphanage, but why? she literally gained nothing of what she did? never embezzled the funds and only taking care of the children and orphanage everyday... yet she said she never cared?

she had a lot of chance to just abandon the orphanage or the children, but she never did. instead, she tried to keep it going even though her method was wrong. while her actions are irreversible, I actually pity her more than hate.

and regarding Tenebrae... she literally was what a tyrant ML backstory in romance fantasy genre would look like. got ab*sed by her crown prince father, treated as the bad luck princess, and thus decided to commit massacre of the imperial family for revenge. the reason she became a villain is because she implicated her twin sister who was innocent (and ignorant, she thought Tenebrae was treated well) and framed MC for killing the crown prince instead.
