Thanks!

I read the title and thought "oh? Araki got isekai'd?"
So, I checked the description -> "Akira"

I mean, how effective would it be to respond to this

with a "My death approaches. I wish I was not being serious, so I humbly request that you do not feel offended by my actions."

I hope this spy gets caught and MURDERERERERERED!

To be more clear on the specific events you're talking about:
1) Grid gets invited by the "God of Blacksmiths" and has a competition - where his love for being a blacksmith and his blacksmith spirit are the reason he won (he loses big time in terms of the sword he makes. lol)
2) Then like 400 chapters later or something, I dunno, I didn't count, Grid indeed does become a "God" and his stats skyrocket.

lol. lmao even

Another problem with failing at Grid's name.

This skill's name is "Greed."

Also, no. Lord will not surpass his dad. He will be strong and stuff, mainly in one unexpected way that will shock everyone, but the power fantasy featuring Mr. Main Character holds true and Grid will be unmatched to an insane degree.
Not sugarcoating it, but Grid will be over level 1,000 or something while everyone else is like... around level 500 to 600 or something.

I wonder.... if anyone has lived in both the US and China, which one is worse to live under?

I mean, without the influence of propaganda.

Here in 'murca, if she's gonna give birth to twins, they'll have to pay - according to a google search -> parents.com - around $100,000, which is significantly higher compared to giving birth to a single baby.
... and people wonder why "millennials aren't having kids"

This is not a villainess story. Read the first chapter and make a decision: are you hooked to the premise to give it a chance?

This is a redemption story; a second chance where the biggest difference is the replacement of apathy with empathy. Previous life's knowledge does serve a purpose, but it isn't the main focus/intention of this work. It's more about valuing what really matters, being honest about it, and importantly -> showing trust by allowing yourself to be vulnerable to those you hold dearly.

Chapter 1 demonstrates all this inversely as Ms. Main Character never properly communicated, was never honest and had her guard soooooo high up to the degree that not even her own son thought she loved him.


Not to suggest that this work is soft-hearted. Because she is willing to take these risks, she has to deal with them and things will happen. A nice touch is that this work doesn't exactly waste your time. In the 120 chapters, I feel like maybe 5 chapters were superfluous <- and even then, it was spent explaining stuff that didn't need explaining. With that said, it isn't a big deal because this is a completed work.

Characters are well written and you'll find yourself hating the ones you're supposed to hate - easy goal tbh -> but, and this is more impressive, you'll like the characters you're supposed to like. One character in specific was always doing a balancing act between "do I like this guy? I know I'm supposed to, but hmmm" -> and in the final chapter, he freakin' jumps off the bar, does a sick kick flip off a skateboard he pulled out of nowhere, spun around three times and perfectly landed in the "yeah, okay. He's pretty cool and I like this guy" side. lol

Overall, 8/10. Pretty great.

Nice job, Vlemir.

Yeah, no kidding.... I'd be stressed out too. He has zero margin for error. If they get pissed, he'd get absolutely erased.

For a moment there, I thought the lore was gonna drop a "she always had twins but lost one" on us, but nope... good thing too, that would've ruined some things.

Well, the first chapter was an absolute disaster of a timeline, but one constant held true: she did all she did because she loved him. She miserably failed to communicate that and he never understood it, but it is still true that she loved him.

Seven Deadly Sins
Pride
also known as Vanity

Thing is, to be happy with your - or someone's - actions... to be proud of someone or yourself... this is one thing. There is nothing wrong with self-worth.

The problem is that, like all things -> too much of anything is a bad thing. Too much pride and it turns to vanity. Being proud is different from being vain.

And this idiot is so vain that she's blind and trapped in her own head.
Sure, if you bring it up, she can ramble and yap on and on and on until you fall asleep, but she's doing nothing more than convincing herself. Self-justification is incredibly important to... well, almost everyone, and some people can do it effortlessly, which is dangerous.
"I can't become a laughing stock like this."
Lady, take a moment to breathe for like two freakin' nanoseconds and answer me a simple question: WHO IS LAUGHING? Other than you, I mean.

Oh for crying out loud... I got baited and I fell for it, HARD! I genuinely had the thought of "wow, the emperor is somewhat starting to become a normal human being!"

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand then the rest of the chapter happened.

Seriously, this emperor just sees people's usefulness and nothing else. He has not changed whatsoever.
