I know that Bridgette's Modern-Incarnation reads a lot of Isekai stories, many of which parallel with her past reincarnations.
Has Phoebe ever read any of those stories? For that matter, had Iseul? Have either of them realized how many crossovers are in this RoFan world? I'm curious about what they might think about Lady Julietta, or Young Duchess Belliana, or Haena Soo and the Empress-- either as historical figures, or fictional characters, or both.
Phoebe hasn't read any of the stories that have been mentioned. Her information only comes from Flowers Thrive in Autumn.
Belliana however, has most likely read "A Piece of the Crescent Moon" from her world, but failed to connect it with Julietta because her name was different in that version. "Julietta Palladino" was called "Yulieta Falladino" (which happens when one work is translated from one language to another. Names get changed).
Haena Soo's story has been done many times in Rofan and there are dozens that exist. She is just one that happened in this universe, while the others exist in different worlds. The whole "Saintess comes and takes the spot of empress while the "true wife" is left behind plot" has been done a lot, so pinpointing one story is difficult and hard to do for some reincarnators. It doesn't help that her story has been misconstrued by people who deem her a conartist or a fraud.
This is kind of spoilerly, but a lot of readers figured out the secret behind Phoebe not knowing other titles.
Spoilers under the cut
Phoebe (or in this case "Helen") isn't from the real world. Her world is very much like ours, as close as one can get. But she doesn't exist "here."
She was created by her author as a cynical response to the readers begging and harassing her for a different ending for Phoebe. So she made her as hateful and cruel as possible, and a reincarnator so it's not the original Phoebe getting her hands dirty. She loved Phoebe, but hates Helen. She even paired her with the stalker prince, showing how low she sinks. The author hated her so much she didn't even bother giving her a cause of death.
In fact, "Helen" is based on a racist roommate the author had once had in college. Her obsession with Disney princesses was inspired by that. Kind princesses who have the worst most racist fanbase.
One indication of this is that Helen's "knowledge of rofan/otome Isekai" is strictly based on the novel "Flowers Thrive in autumn," which has none of the elements that she talks about. She never talks about any other rofan's she's read, not even name dropping other titles. It's always "this happens in these kinds of stories."
She's also American, and the rofan craze in the western sphere really took off at the earliest in the late 2010s, like circa 2017 when Hamefura began it's manga serialization. Even though the novel came out in 2014, Helen would not likely be aware of it since it wasn't localized until much later. And all the classic titles would be known by their manga/manhwa/manhua adaptations.
So where is she getting her knowledge from? Well, it was baked into her.
Discord is supposedly saying this is going to affect "only 10% of users", but I really don't believe them at all. It's always going to be way worse and affect more people than what they claim.
So in case anyone needs it:
After Discord announced plans to require age verification for all users, a free, HTML-based tool emerged that aims to bypass facial scans on
Wild caught clownfish will be like ‘hm you see, the anemone you got me is a slightly different color and tentacle width than the one I had back home, so I will not begin hosting it. I’ll be a sort of wandering ronin for the rest of my days.’ And then a captive bred clownfish will be like ‘ok so I have this curved rock I found and I just sit above it and it take care of me 👍’
