Me at the start: Liliana's story? boo! I wanna read more about Fii and bread!
And then I proceeded to forget about it for months.
But I eventually returned to it, and I do like reading about this hopeless mess of a person. And unlike Fii, she's actually honest.
...or so I thought.
until part 7: "I've carried this despair with me for fifteen years"
whoa, hold up. 15 years? That means from the very start. I thought it was only recent! Has she been lying too? And the reason she was so hyperfocused on Seth and being happy was to distract herself from her perpetual sorrow?
And then basically confirmed near the start of part 9.
Oh so that's why she said she couldn't taste chocolate earlier. She couldn't taste anything.
Ah, and then explicitly confirmed at the end of part 9.
Also, what the heck? As an aside, this is the second LN I've read where the (isekai'd) protagonist seems to think that 3 hours of sleep is sufficient. Is this some kind of Japanese thing? Though unlike in the other instance, she does end up passing out from exhaustion. So it seems the author at least knows (hopefully) that 3 hours is absolutely nowhere near enough.
After Liliana's reincarnation incident was described, specifically the part where she tried to save a child from the truck, and then she approached Nana for the first time in the church and noted that she was childlike, I suspected that that child was Nana. And indeed revealed to be true later.
Makes me wonder, what if this whole place is some sort of purgatory, and everyone is reincarnated?
Though, from what I can tell, all the remaining unexplained strangeness is connected to Nana, so maybe it's just the three people.
There could be another volume, Nana's PoV, but it would have to be a very different story, and possibly even a different genre. So I doubt it'd get made. I would like to see the remaining loose ends tied up though. Maybe a few short stories or extra chapters would do it.
