One of my favorite aspects of the Alvarez arc is seeing both Natsu and Lucy getting big roles and taking charge. Like that’s my power couple right there?? 😭

Natsu with taking down Acnologia’s human form with the other dragon slayers and Lucy leading the charge with her own thought out plan to trap his dragon form back on Earthland.

⸢Kim Dokja survived through a story called 'Ways of Survival'. In that case, which story allowed us to survive?⸥ Actually, Han Sooyoung already knew the answer to that question. "It's a story I wanted to show to that idiot." A story still remained for them. A story of a person they all loved.

"It would've been so wonderful if we could send this novel to the other world, too. It's a shame that only we get to read it." …The other world? Han Sooyoung became momentarily dazed at that unexpected idea.

DID SOOYOUNG WRITE ORV AND SEND IT INTO THIS WORLD?

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Okay, I guessed quite a few chapters back that she was the author of TWSA but I never thought that she was also the author of ORV even though the novel has been getting very meta in the epilogue. (As well as instances here and there throughout the entire novel.)

At least, I'm almost certain that's what this is all implying. They're literally talking about their first appearances in ORV and wanting to know what happens next to Kim Dokja in the story and so on. It has to be ORV itself.

Oh man, just a few more chapters left. Are we gonna wrap up ORV with ORV? 👀

[crow-caller]

man... I forgot to mention.

you know how lightlark has gods, but has never once named how many gods there are, what they are gods of, how religion works... it just uses the word 'gods' and there's inexplicably an abbey in the first book?

well, in skyshade we finally learn about gods. Not the gods of lightlark, the gods of the otherworld (if they are the same or related concept, it is not stated)

anyway the gods of the otherworld are um.

Sky, dirt, and below.

(The sky is a place. Dirt is an object. Below is a direction. These three fit together as well as Helios, Urn, and Enya as a trio)

Getting a suspicion this book isn't very good

Lightlark3 is somehow. How do I put this. Worse. The prose is really, really bad, and Aster operates on a baseline of having 'pretty bad prose'

Gee, I wonder if writing and releasing skyshade, plus writing her new adult book, plus a new bonus lightlark book and the 4th due next year... might be resulting in even less editing?

Blind Item Scoop: Scandalous Affair Unfolds in Tokyo’s Elite Circles!

Which powerful Chairman and CEO of a major conglomerate and his ex-wife, an up-and-coming fashion designer, were recently caught in a scandalous tryst at a posh hotel?

According to our inside sources, a certain top executive (let’s call him “Mr. G”) was spotted in a compromising position with his ex-wife (“Ms. Y”), a socialite and high-profile fashionista. The twist? They were discovered by none other than Mr. G’s current girlfriend or should we say “situationship”—“Ms. A,” who also happens to be Ms. Y’s best friend!

Eyewitnesses report that Ms. A walked in on the pair at a luxurious five-star hotel, leading to an explosive confrontation that had hotel staff scrambling to maintain order. Those close to the scene describe Ms. A’s shock and heartbreak upon finding her best friend and lover together, hinting at long-buried feelings and unfinished business between the former spouses.

Speculation is rampant about the fallout from this scandalous encounter. Will Mr. G’s pristine corporate image survive this shocking revelation? How will Ms. Y’s burgeoning fashion empire weather the storm of such a public scandal? And most importantly, will the friendship between Ms. Y and Ms. A ever recover from this betrayal?

Stay tuned as we dig deeper into this juicy story and uncover the next chapter in this real-life soap opera!

Netizen Comments [162]: 

[+3,456, -234] These rich people are so bored with their lives ㅋㅋㅋ Too much drama!

[+2,789, -189] Poor Ms. A... discovering your boyfriend and best friend together like that. She must be devastated. 

[+2,345, -456] Always knew something was fishy about their “amicable” divorce. LOL! Seems like they never really moved on

[+1,998, -112] How can Mr. G be so careless? This is going to ruin his reputation again. What a mess!

[+1,765, -89] “Ms. Y” should have stayed away. Even if there were feelings, she’s hurting her best friend. Not cool.

[+987, -45] Can’t trust anyone these days. Best friend and boyfriend both betraying you... heartbreaking.

[+876, -98] I wonder how the company will handle this scandal. CEOs are supposed to be role models, right? I smell a PR disaster! 

[+678, -90] So typical of rich people. Think they can get away with anything. Hope Ms. A finds someone better.

[+543, -12] Ms. Y’s designs are beautiful, but now all I can think about is this scandal. What a shame.

VINNY'S CHARACTER ANALYSIS (why he isn't actually prideful)

Because many d!pshits can't understand common knowledge.

FIRSTLY, Vinny's character is deeply rooted in inferiority complex, not just kid insecurities. You can look in the mirror and suddenly feel insecure of your nose, but inferiority complex is much more serious and deeper than that. An inferiority complex is a term first coined by psychologist Alfred Adler. It describes a persistent feeling that you’re somehow “less than” others—whether in ability, appearance, social status, or worth. Rather than a momentary insecurity (“I’m nervous about this test”), it’s a chronic sense that you’ll never measure up.

"But Vinny acts prideful--" How in tf do people not understand in BIG 2025 that people who lack pride often will act proudly. THAT'S COPING MECHANISM. Vinny literally says:

"The beginning of all this tragedy was me. Like a curse brought down by my birth, misfortunes kept pouring in my family. Accidents...Poverty...And violence (referring to his father turning abusive). In the end, I just lived - however, just like that teacher said, with no expectations in life, just living as a lowlife." - chapter 543. (Vinny literally believes he's curse that ruined his family, blames himself that his father turned out abusive, agrees with a teacher that constantly degraded him and admits that he's lowlife. But ppl will see this and say he's so full of himself💀).

"So you're telling me to resort to d0ping because someone as average as me cannot beat geniuses?" - Chapter 462. At first people might think that Vinny was being sarcastic BUT then Juwon literally LAUGHS at what Vinny says and responds with "Average? Vinny, you think you're average?! Are you kidding me right now, Vinny?!" And Vinny literally remains quiet. Confirms that Vinny, in fact, does think of low of himself.

"It's still not enough. No matter how much I ride I can't see myself beating Jay--I mean, Owen. I don't know what else I can do." - chapter 462. (This is NOT what prideful person would say btw. Prideful person would say "I know it's enough. I know I can beat them." But that's far away from how Vinny thinks).

"I want get recognition. I want to be acknowledged by world." - chapter 525.(A truly prideful person—as in someone with genuine self-respect and inner confidence—does not feel the need to prove their worth to others. Someone who feels they must prove their worth is likely not proud in the true sense—but insecure or struggling with imposter syndrome, inferiority, or external validation needs.)

"Fuck you. You still think of me as a joke, don't you?" - chapter 443. In this chapter, Vinny shows how much he hates being underestimated, since he thought Jay was thinking lowly of him, which is response of inferiority complex. Sure, prideful people aren't pleased with getting underestimated, but it's even more intense with people who have inferiority complex. If you make inferior person feel inferior, they'll either react in denial or anger. Anger is case with Vinny, since he's aggressive character himself (due to experiencing domestical abuse since he was a kid, which shape most people as aggressive). That kind of reaction—“Fck you, you think I’m a joke? I’ll show you!”—is a classic sign of someone masking an inferiority complex with pride.

The aggressive outburst isn't rooted in stable confidence or real pride. It’s triggered by feeling threatened, humiliated, or looked down on. The reaction is a defensive reflex, not genuine self-assurance. The need to "prove them wrong" comes from a place of deep insecurity, not self-respect. If they were truly proud or confident: They might say something like, “Believe what you want—I’ll still come out on top.” Or even just let their actions speak without needing the validation. (like Jay often did).

And even when Vinny won against Jay in that chapter, Vinny says "This is a day I finally overcome you!!" Sounds like a victory…But it’s driven by proving worth, not celebrating growth. It’s a moment of relief, not real fulfillment. So no, that ain't true pride at all. AND WHAT PROVES IT IS THAT VINNY DIDN'T FEEL SATISFIED BY THAT, HE STARTED FEELING INFERIOR AGAIN. (as shown in the chap 462). Because external victory doesn’t heal internal insecurity or inferiority complex. He didn't truly want to win—he wanted to feel enough. And beating someone doesn’t guarantee self-worth.

Vinny saw Jay improve and started talking down on himself, feeling inferior. (Chap 462). Shows that his self-worth is entirely dependent on his achievements, improvements but that's not actual confidence nor pride. That’s not pride—it’s deep-rooted self-doubt and fear of being “less”.

True pride would look more like: “I’m proud of how far I’ve come—no matter where you are.” Respecting others’ growth without it threatening your own value. (Vinny felt like his entire sense of self and value was ripped away from him. THAT AIN'T PRIDE).

Someone who masks up his inferiority complex, his motivation would be to prove his worth to himself and to world, their focus would be on their self-image, reputation, being better than others, when receiving compliments they might fish for more or dismiss it out of disbelief, they're more likely to refuse help than prideful people, they may feel threatened by other's success and compete with others.

Genuinely proud people are usually secure enough to admit mistakes, show vulnerability, and still hold their head high. (Never shown with Vinny).

Those masking inferiority often avoid vulnerability entirely and create a persona that’s hard to maintain consistently. They might collapse under pressure or reveal self-doubt in private moments. (Literally all of it happened with Vinny).

That "pride" you all are talking about is Vinny's way to protect his inferiority complex. He's not truly prideful. His "pride" is a mask.
