I'm surprised she didn't threaten to kill Anastasia in retaliation.

Imagine being a QA tester, seeing this happening in your game and be like "bruh, I think this game is bugged. WAIT THIS IS A GAME RATED FOR ALL AGES! ARE THEY GONNA ELEVATE IT TO MATURE!?" The panic on their face would be priceless.

Well, there is intrigue. Not enough info to jump to conclusions... though, this happening does amplify how she is in a game, not an alternative reality.

Wait... can she pull up the console commands? Or activate debug mode?

I dunno why the comments are all whining about quitting.

That aside, explain this out of context:

I guess if there is something that happened in the 6 year time skip that should've been portrayed more clearly... is just how numb she became for spending so long in her position. 2 years while she's at max level, where nothing was a threat to her... any situation that lasts long enough becomes your new normal.

Things are gonna get interesting again.

So, the thing is... the plot established thus far is kinda spiraling in on itself. Ms. Main Character is pretty stupid but that's not the problem. The problem is that where do we go from here? This is a completed work and it ends at chapter 100, so where are we going from here?

I gotta say, she is slower than all other villainesses so far. 6 years and you've VASTLY changed the world to a drastic degree that it is unrecognizable... and you're still trying to hold onto the original plot? Lady... lady... plz...

Well, that's a mighty time skip. And those levels. whew...

You gotta keep in mind: chapter 3.
The person in Blanche is just a normal person. Sure, she's driven to extremes to survive but... she is just a normal person. There's a limit and well, she is well over it but there is one reason why we can accept that -> to her, this world is just a game. She doesn't really see these people as real living human beings, so she can dispose of them without worrying about it... Even then, there is a limit, again.

Poor kid.

Also, she makes no sense. We know why she's acting like this since we can see her train of thought. No one else does so the way she's acting makes zero sense. She obviously has a soft spot for him, tolerates him far beyond what anyone else would get away with, etc -> and then she does this.

Little hostage warmed up to the situation.

Classic Villainess trope of "oh no, this isn't how it's supposed to go in the original story, so I have to reject it."

Lady, and this applies to all them villainess ladies:

If the original story mattered, you'd be dead! So who cares about it! DO WHAT YOU WANT!

You seem impatient... I get it. If this got regular updates, I wouldn't be upset that they're taking time to establish stuff rather than give a two sentence summary... sigh, what can ya do?

Well, PingPing is guilty of propagating the myth that a diamond ring has any value. It's less valuable than human feces because you can use at the very least use human feces as fertilizer - low quality fertilizer, yes, but that is still has some value.
Diamonds are entirely worthless and anyone who believes otherwise is just a victim of propaganda that's only around a century old.

Sadly, around two years ago, they updated their site to forcefully monetize it. I only stuck with them for Overgeared because of it and refused to try reading any other works.
You gotta: make an account -> and claim the free 100 points by checking in daily (it isn't on cooldown, but a reset time, so just claim it once a day whenever you remember).
You'll get to unlock one free chapter every 23 hours, and this IS on cooldown, so make sure you don't forget.

You can circumvent this whole stupid points system by just paying money. How much? ~$6 a month I think? It's the "Champion" system which I never touched.

Not that I'm against paying for stuff, but I was caught up to the ~1650 chapters before this monetization system kicked in, so I didn't feel like it was worth it to pay money month after month for two years as the novel updated 4 chapters a week for ~400 chapters left - which I can always just unlock with the daily unlock.

You will learn how the situation came to be.

I feel that there is one detail that stands out: when Mr. Main Character tried... something along the lines of creating life but failed (trying not to spoil here)-> that restriction nullifies this prequel's legitimacy.
