This whole volume has really thrown me for a loop with how much it is mixing things up! It was so cool to see Rozemyne negotiating for everything she can wring out of the royal family and how much Sigiswald was thrown off guard by her.

A lot of people theorized last week about whether the passageway she was denied entry to for not being a royal was somehow not the original method for obtaining the Grutrissheit and was added later. It would make sense that since the shrines at the RA surround the central building that she would have to do something on the stage and I wonder if that’s what will end up happening at the Dedication Ritual.

My wife is about one volume behind right now and I keep telling her to catch up because the story is getting so good! It takes all my willpower to avoid going the MTL route.

I succumbed to the MTL last week. It costs some Braincells (fewer if you get CyberGlitterhoof's version) but imo does not detract from the enjoyment of Pre-Pub (thank you quof). It will make it even harder to not spoiler your wife though

I loved the explenations on how he had to go back and reduce the Bwuh count (P1V3 had 30 of them)

Edit 2: Better link

I'll see what I can do within reddit's new API restrictions to get potential quof comments and mirror them here.
