Release date of My Next Life as a Villainess all Routes Lead to Doom LN16 !
Hello everyone ! I know it's been a long time since I last posted something on my blog but I'm making my comeback with amazing news ! We finally have the release date of the next volume of Hamefura, it's to be expected at the end of this summer, more precisely around August 20th, 2026. I'll come back to you as soon as possible with the cover so be patient until then.
Also for those interested I think I will also start working on my fanfics again so if you have one you particularly want to read again, please don't hesitate to write it in the comments or sending me a message.
Hi my friend, after I saw the reply to my question that you said, I think you are wrong to say that it is about Catarina's fear (bakarina), I don't think that is Catarina's real fear, it is just a narrative according to the game about her death, but I think there is still a real reason for Bakarina's fear. Try to think if Catarina's disaster did not exist from the start and still had a fear of loving and being loved, what other reason would you say the cause? ... #thankyou...
Hi,
If that's not the answer you wanted then I'm really sorry but you asked me about my opinion and I gave it to you. If you don't agree with it then it can't be helped, everyone have their own thoughts on every matters. Moreover your question is a "what if" so it's not related to the actual story, in that case giving an answer based on that would be wrong. But if you want to explain why you think I'm wrong in my theory then you're very welcome to do so.
• Based on your understanding so far, what is Catarina Claes' (Bakarina) true fear that makes her refuse to be loved and to love someone?.
• What is the cause of this fear? And what is its origin?.
• How does she let go of this fear, and what should she do about it?.
Thanks.
Hello,
I don't exactly understand what you mean by "true" fear but I'll do my best to answer.
Catarina explained clearly that her fear of loving someone comes from reincarnating as "Catarina Claes" because she knows that in the game it was her passionate, one-sided love for prince Geordo that lead her to do horrible things, losing herself for someone who just ended up killing or exiling her without a second thought . And even if she knows that she has the memories of her previous life and is not the same person she is still afraid that loving someone might change her completely and leading her to become a bad person moreover don't forget that until the age of 8 she still had the personality of OGCatarina and is she hadn't hit her head in the castle garden nothing would have changed.
Catarina also has difficulties to differentiate between the game and real life, she thinks that if something happens in the game, it will definitely happen in real life (Geordo's feelings for Maria, the hatred of the capture targets towards her ect) and we can't blame her for thinking like that because despite all her efforts some things still happened like in the game, albeit sometimes in a different way. Like for example her obtaining dark magic, pochi and the dark convenant while she never ever wished for them. She was also sure that Geordo and Keith would come to see her as a hindrance the moment they fell in love despite the fact that they are very close childhood friends as if she can't picture that the affection she got from them is real and she also thinks of it as the most natural thing to do.
In other words I think one the reasons why Catarina is afraid of loving someone is because she is scared of the person she would become if she did. She thinks it's inevitable that she will come to lose her mind if she does, resulting to her death and harming people.
I also don't think that she is so afraid of love itself and that fear does not apply to everyone. I think it mainly applies to Geordo and Keith, and it leads us to think about the origins of this fear :
In her previous life Catarina died because she stayed up all night to finish Geordo's route (and even now she wonders why she was so obsessed about finishing his route) so I think she might unconsciously associate death (because of the otome game) with love itself (and more exactly Geordo) and if you think about it it's logical, if someone almost died because of something I think it's normal they develop some kind of trauma because of it, and it's Catarina's case.
And lastly comes Catarina's own insecurities about herself.
As we can see in 99.99% of mangas or manwhas where a girl gets reincarnated into an otome game or a book where she is either an extra or the villainess, they tend to always avoid failling in love with the ML because they know they are fated to fall in love with the beautiful and perfect protagonist and that they are no match for them because they will eventually and inevitably grow tired of them to fall in love with the heroine. I honestly hate when they are thinking such things because I think that if the ML is so trash that he would give up the person they love just to find another they find more "perfect" like they're in some kind of market then they don't deserve anyone's love. So just trust the ML or dump him.
Catarina is in the same situation she thinks that even if her friends love her now they will eventually come to abandon her because she's the villainess so that's how things are meant to be, she carries the status "villainess" like some kind of curse that means she is destined to never be loved and never love anyone because she doesn't deserve it.
Not only that but in her past life she was also considered a problem child, plain-looking and excentric so she has automatically developped a huge inferiority complex that makes her think she is unlovable and that she doesn't deserve love, as you can see, despite what she says she thinks very little of her life and is ready to give it up at any moment for anyone, to the point that it's beyond extreme kindess. Moreover Catarina thinks very highly of her friends so to her, one of them loving her is like an idol asking a random person out in the streets.
As for the way to let go of this fear I think the only thing she can do is trying to love herself more with all of her friends' support. They really need to tell her how much and why they love her so that she can finally understand and genuinely believe them. She also needs to learn to completely trust their feelings and for that to happen she must come clean with them about FL and her previous life. I really want them to scold her once for all about how she's been thinking all this time for her not to carry such a burden alone.
any theories for the next hamefura light novel? Or anything u would like to see happen? I would love more development on like Katarina missing her past life more due to uncle stuart reminding her of her brother. Would also love to see more geokata and some process on their relationship. I wonder how many more lns until we reach the end of the story, i feel like we for sure are going to get a scene with lucy coming back after those ten years and maybe an epilogue from lucy’s pov? that would be cool
Hi,
Theories for the next volume huh ?
I don't have much since I don't know if the author will add another event to the plot or directly continue with the black magic plot, we already had : undercover mission at ocean harbor, kidnappings (Keith's and Catarina's), the Assembly, Cyrus's hometown...ect
But in the last volume they really did gave us a lot of informations, so I think the author is the kind who only drops small hints everywhere and choose one volume to dedicate entirely to the real plot.
Anyway I would really love an event where Catarina gets a fever because of something that strongly reminds her of her past life (hopefully keep seeing similarities between her brother and another person she met) which leads her to strong suspicions. And it would be even better if someone accidentally hear (someone other than Keith) her calling him "big brother" in a dream she would have about him. And that everyone starts really pondering what very important secret she could hide from them to the point that it keeps coming to her in her dreams. Because I think we need a good context for Catarina to reveal her secret to her friends and if she does it out of nowhere it would hardly be credible so I really want her to reveal it because she can't bear seeing how everyone is worried sick about her condition.
Apart from that I also really want to have at least one time her brother's POV when (or if) he recognizes Catarina right away as his sister or at least suspect it. Because even if she is physically entirely different her facial expressions and personality are exactly the same. If possible I want him to be more and more convinced as he spends more and more time with her and the same goes for Catarina. And if her brother is really on the villain's side and approached "Catarina Claes" to deceive her about something I would like him to gradually change his mind and betray the villain for her. (And in case he would be the mastermind I want him to give up his goal)
In love matters I agree I really want more progress on Geordo's side and especially a PROPER confession from him (a kiss doesn't count as a confession especially when it's forceful !) I also want Catarina to do a unique confession. I didn't like it in the game because it was really messed up, she wasn't sure about her feelings in most cases and she only said the very minimum. And I also REALLY want Geordo to apologise to Catarina about wanting to use her when they first met. I won't be satisfied as long as he doesn't earnestly apologise for that and feel at least a little guilty for going after her and shamelessly claiming himself her fiancé as if nothing happened !
I also want more moments with Nicol and Alan if possible I really don't like how they keep falling behind in the story to the point where you almost forget they are love interests or even importants characters. I really don't expect a confession from any of them (unless under some extraordinary circonstances) but I really want them to have more moments with Catarina.
But for now my strongest bets are on Raphael and Sora ! We almost got direct confirmation that his father is the mysterious man Sarah hates and I can't wait to see Raphael's reaction (the man implied that he will able to meet him soon so I expect that in the next volume) So I hope he will rely on Catarina to overcome this last hurdle towards his peaceful life the same way I hope Catarina will rely on him regarding her past life. They have a really wonderful relationship. And since Raphael seems to gradually come back as a love interest and makes efficient progress I really hope a confession from him too (it would be the best !)
I don't think I'm done with the romance part but if I keep on going the post will go on forever ^^;
And for Sora, since I suspect the reincarnation of Catarina's brother to also be his paternal figure in the slums I hope it would link them in another way and make them closer than ever as they go through this together (the way the first person Catarina talked about the people she lost happened to be Sora feels really planned) I also really want to confession but I don't think it's really likely to happen but I'm not sure because Sora has never really hidden his feelings for Catarina and he is not one to do it either. He just doesn't want to push Catarina into something she doesn't want to (he is always a bit scared of Geordo but it doesn't seem to concern him that much when his is not here) so he always hold himself back from making direct advances to her. He is also very aware of Catarina's identity as a noble lady so, as a commoner, and considering his past he doesn't think his is worthy of her.
I think the series will last until approximately LN18 or 19 at most since the author seems to want to drag the story for a bit longer and we still have a lot of questions and mysteries we need them to answer so I think we can look forward to them !
And I agree with you that we're definitely in for an epilogue where, ten years later Lucy comes back to meet Catarina and she found her married and probably even with children (Catarina will be around 28 at that time so I think it's possible) and I can totally picture her playing with Catarina's child(ren) in the future in a world where she can publicly claim who she is.
Sorry I ended up being a bit carried away and kept on rambling about what I want ^^;
I hope I answered your questions, have a nice day.
What do you think of Hamefura LN15 this time? Is there any development in the harem's relationship with Katarina, either subtle or profound, seen in this volume?
Thank's...
Hi,
Personally I really loved LN15 but I think this one was mostly to develop the plot on dark magic so we didn't have any development regarding Catarina's relationships with the harem. At least maybe a tiny bit on Alan's side and a bit on Geordo's too but nothing really significant to me.
However I think we can look forward to it in the future because even if the progress in Geordo and Catarina's relationship weren't that significant on the moment I think it will become more impactful later so just wait for it.
Still this volume was very interesting and we got a lot of interesting informations to build solid theories and strengthening others. I won't go in the details because I don't know if you read it or not but I really recommend it since the only thing that was a bit disappointing was that we had only a tiny little bit of romantic progress.
Hamefura theory : Catarina's kids with each of the guys
Hi everyone ! I'm really happy for those who loved the post about Geordo and Catarina's child(ren) ^^ I'm always trying to be as realistic as possible but some are really hard...Anyway, to me Geordo was the easiest, Keith is more difficult but I hope I did well.
Keith X Catarina :
Number of children : 2
Gender : A girl and a boy
Magic : A girl with very powerful earth magic and a boy with powerful earth magic.
Physical :
The older one would be an handsome boy with gentle brown hair (his hair would be nape-length with delicate bangs right above his right eye), and azure eyes with the shape being a mix between Keith's and Catarina's . His skin would be very clear and spotless. And features being a mix between Keith's and Catarina's. He would give off a gentle and smart aura but overflowing with sexiness as he grows up.
The second child would be a lovely girl with long, back-length flaxen curly hair and bangs that don't go beyond her eyes. Her eyes would have the same shape as Catarina's but with the same color as Keith's. Her would be fair and smooth. Her features would be mostly like Catarina's. She would also appear as a shy and delicate girl.
Despite both their faces being quite different at first glance they look oddly similar when they are very angry.
Mental :
I expect the boy to be as gentlemanly as Keith and very charming but despite being popular he is never serious about girls. I expect him to be secretly very overprotective of his sister (a siscon) but he would sometimes tease her and mess with her despite being very caring and thoughtful towards her. Since most people would misunderstand him as a flirt at first glance he would often act this way to be left alone. He would be very smart and despite his delicate appearance he would be very good with a sword and would know a lot about nature (thing he would inherit from his mother) He would also prefer the night over the day (unlike his sister)
I expect the girl to be very shy and sweet with most people but a ball of energy with her family and incredibly kind. Despite looking like the very image of innocence she wouldn't hesitate to use her cuteness to get what she wants (though unconsciously). She would be very close to her brother who always take care of her despite bickering often because he is too overprotective towards her. She would also really love eating, especially sweets but hate bitter things (thing she shares with her brother) She would love romance novels but be very dense herself. She would be smart but hate studying things she doesn't care about and have trouble focusing on studying. Both her and her brother would be natural charmers.
Who they take the most after :
As you can this case is a lot more difficult than Geordo's ^^; I had trouble imagining the children so I ended up writing everything I had in mind and it ended up being quite longer than expected...But I think the two children would be a perfect mix of their two parents, both physically and mentally.
(PS : Since I ended up writing quite a lot I'm planning to add a few more things to my post about Geordo to have a more precise view of them, don't forget to check ^^)
Hamefura theory : Catarina's kids with each of the guys.
Hello everyone ! I hope you are all doing well ^^. A long time ago I remember someone asking me my opinion about what would Catarina's children would like (physically and mentally) if she were to end up with one of the several men of her harem. I thought a lot about it and now I'm about to tell you how I think they would be. Though I'm not doing it in one go, else this post would be endless. And as you may have guess I'm starting with Geordo.
Geordo X Catarina :
Number of children : 1 (or two at most)
Gender : A girl and a boy (twins) or just a girl
Season of birth : Girl : Summer Twins : Spring
Magic :
Only child case :
Girl : powerful fire magic level 4/5
2. Twins case :
Girl : weak water magic 1/5
Boy : powerful fire magic. 4/5
Physical :
Girl :
Hair : long (waist-lenght) and straight blond hair with bangs similar to Geordo's
Skin : fair and snow white
Eyes : upwards-slanting azure eyes.
Face : mostly like Catarina's.
Scent : vanilla and lilies
First impression : cute, friendly and innocent
Nickname : angel
Symbol : Sun
(Boy) :
Hair : straight blond hair, same length as Geordo's and bangs covering most of his right eye.
Eyes : round azure eyes
Skin : snow white and spotless
Face : mostly like Geordo's
Scent : red roses
First impression : Mature, cute and gentle
Nickname : angel
Symbol : Moon
Personality :
In case of an only child I expect the girl to appear cute, friendly and innocent on the outside but being extremely smart, composed and sly inside.
In case of twins I expect the girl to be light-aired, kind, friendly and an outdoor person. But with a strong will. And the boy to be composed, cunning and serious but actually very gentle.
Tastes :
Girl :
Likes : eating, romance novels, pretty faces, money and flowers
Dislikes : ugly things and arrogant people
Favorite color : blue
Favorite flower : roses
Hobbies : reading, gardening and playing piano (sneaking downtown)
Denseness : close to 10%
Twins :
Girl :
Likes : eating, romance novels, cute animals, going outside and playing tricks.
Dislikes : liars, seeing people close to her suffering and studying
Dislikes : boredom, seeing people dear to him suffering, creeping animals
Favorite color : fiery red
Favorite flower : cherry blossoms
Hobbies : reading, playing violon and drawing
Denseness : close to 5%
Who they take the most after :
As you may have noticed I excpect two scenarios to be happen, either Catarina and Geordo have an only child and I'm sure at 90% it would be a girl. This girl would have most of Catarina's appearance and aura but deep down her personnality would mostly be like Geordo's. Or (my favorite) that they have twins who are complete opposite. With a girl who looks mostly like Catarina inside and a boy who looks mostly like Geordo inside.
If you want me to do a character first you can always tell and if you're good at drawing you can even try to draw them 😉
It has now been 2 days since, I, Sora Smith went on a mission for the Ministry at the Harbor restaurant.
To be honest it has been 2 fruitless days because no matter how much I tried to subtly collect informations about the kidnappings taking place there, it all ended up in vain as I couldn't gather any useful information, which was quite usual for me.
When asking people around me didn't help much I tried to ask some girs I came across since, by experience, I knew they were the most likely to spread this kind of rumors but I wasn't much lucky on that either.
In fact I was making so little progress that I started to wonder if I had lost a part of my charisma and sweet talking abilities.
I looked at the young lady in front of me and sighed internally. "It's no use" I thought before gently smiling after biding her farewell.
Until then I have always been able to smoothly probe informations by using my charms to hit off with them but now no matter what sweet words I tell them it just feels... empty and makes me feel deep unease (not that I let that show on my face of course).
To be honest it was scaring me quite a bit to think that I was doing less well at a job that I always found particularly easy. But I already had my suspicions about "what", or rather "who" was the reason of this change...
As if I had unconsciously call for her I suddenly saw the shiny brown hair I had grown so accustomed to over time in the distance...
Catarina's eyes quickly met mine and she happily waved at me, I casually waved my hand in return.
That's right, this woman was most likely the cause of all the changes that were happening to me.
Ever since the start of this mission, no ever since she entered the Ministry of Magic I have started looking after her. If you ask me why, I was wondering too. If I was some dense, naive person I might have thought it was because I was doing it out of duty because she was a noble and a woman at that but I definitely knew it wasn't the case.
I just...feel restless about leaving her out of my sight.
Be it because she was always rushing right into trouble the second you take your eyes off of her or because I couldn't predict most of her actions I always feels a lot more at ease looking after her than leaving her alone.
Though looking after her wasn't easy either...in fact ever since coming there I had my hands more full than ever for another reason altogether...
I quickly went into the Harbor restaurant since it was almost time for lunch and took my place as a bouncer.
Normally I have heard that even if this place was selling alcohol it rarely ever hired a bouncer because the restaurant never had much customers but... recently it has became quite the necessity.
I realized I was spacing out a bit so I quickly focused my attention on what was going on in front me.
As usual I saw Catarina serving customers with great ease.
No matter how you look at it she looked like someone who was incredibly used to this job...I wonder if every jobs that require casually interacting with people suit her well...
It always amazed me to see how she was able to greet customers she only saw once like they were old friends or something like that. Though it was also quite irritating because, people, especially men had a tendency to take her kindness as a lot more than it was supposed to be.
At first I had decided to not let my feelings show and only do the minimum to help her professionally but when I saw how quickly and pushy the men were already about asking her out I couldn't control myself anymore and ended up showing a tiny little more hostility that I should have shown as a professional.
Because, naturally they were thinking that if a girl as cute and naive as Catarina was kind to them it could be a great opportunity for them but it wasn't going to happen as long as I was here.
At that moment I noticed :
Boy 1: No way ! Miss Catarina you are also working this evening ?
Catarina : That's right, we'll be short-handed this evening so I'll be working until the closure of the restaurant tonight.
Boy 1: That's no good ! You're working way too much ! You need a break, I know a very good café that just opened, how about testing it out with me tomorrow ? My treat !
Boy 2: Hey ! How do you dare cut in line ?! Miss Catarina, how about going out with me tomorrow ? You just arrived in town didn't you ? I know a very pretty place where we could go...
I was honestly quite amazed...they were becoming more and more bold by the day, guess they realized that being stubtle about this kind of things with Catarina was useless.
At that moment...
Boy 3 : Miss Catarina, if it's alright with you we could---
Sora : ...!
One of them extended his hand to grab hers and my body moved as if it had a mind of its own.
Sora : *smile* I highly suggest you stop as it is now.
I smiled in the most friendly way possible at the moment as I grabbed his hand before it could reach her.
The only good thing about Regina telling Catarina what I was doing was that at least now I could do it more openly.
As expected they looked quite annoyed at first but they quickly withdraw with a single stare from me and almost ran away.
Catarina : Hey ! Wait ! I wonder what made them run away like that...
Sora : *shrug* I wonder too.
Catarina : *mumbling* Could it be my villainess face again ?!...what if I scared them away when they were trying so hard to be friendly with me...?
A lot of things were wrong with this sentence. Friendly....? I couldn't help but sigh at how she was perceiving things.
Sora : I don't really understand what you're mumbling about but I'm pretty sure you got it all wrong.
Catarina : Huh ?
Seriously ! There's supposed to be a limit to how dense someone can be...
It was tiring but at least she was alright and she didn't realize that these men were trying to hit her on. Good, kill two birds with one stone.
Catarina : Anyway thank you for your work as usual Sora !
After stepping out of her confusion Catarina turned to me and smiled brightly, thanking me.
Ergh, when you look at that smile it was well enough to guess why my hands were so full, it was so cute that my hands were almost shaking.
I quickly turned away and murmured :
Sora : ...Don't need to mention it.
I can't believe I got so shaken for something as small as that...
Regina : I'm sorry to interrupt this adorable exchange between you two but we're short of ingredients so how about you two go and buy some ?
An awfully cheerful came out of nowhere making both of us jump.
Catarina : Oh already ? But it is really alright for both of us to go ? There's still so much customers...
She turned her head towards the customers who were looking at her anxiously.
Regina : Of course ! There's not so much customers to begin with moreover you just arrived in town so it would be safer if you two go together, don't worry I'll serve them while you're away !
She replied with so much enthusiasm that it made me back away a little.
What's the...?!
While I was wondering what has gotten into her, she suddenly leaned closer to me and whispered :
Regina : I'm helping you getting a date here, don't waste it ! You can thank me later.
She quickly winked at me and practically ran away.
What's that woman's problem ? When did I even ask her to do something like that ?
I couldn't help but glare a little at her for doing something so unnecessary but...
Honestly it's not like I didn't like the final outcome.
Catarina : Okay then we must hurry up ! Let's go Sora !
Maybe convinced by Regina's words Catarina excitedly ran outside the restaurant, ignoring the disappointed gazes of the people inside.
Sora : Hey, wait !
She was running so quickly that I was worried that she might trip and hurt herself. And at that moment, as if I had gain foresight powers or something...
Catarina : What did you s-- Whaaa !
she tripped on a rock nearby and almost fell over.
I quickly rushed to her side and held her firmly by the waist as she was falling.
As much as that was okay but she was way lighter than what I had expected so her feet weren't even touching the ground when I grabbed her and she was tightly pressed against my chest.
Her whole body was so soft and smelled so sweet that I felt like an unexperienced man wouldn't have survive such a contact.
I immediately tried to regain my senses but at that moment, maybe because her body was bent down, the strands of her hair at the back of her neck slowly fell down, revealling her delicate, snow-white nape.
I unconsciously glupped.
What's gotten into me ?! Why on earth am I getting so nervous ?!
I was shaking my head so hard hoping that it would cool down the heat that rose to my cheeks when a voice finally brought me back to my senses :
Catarina : S-Sora ! T-thanks !
Her voice immediately woke me up and I realized I was still holding her in my arms, moreover, maybe because of how nervous I was, I had tighten my grip around her.
I let go as fast as I could, turned my head away and answered as naturally as possible :
Sora : Don't mention it, anyway be more careful idiot ! You almost hurt yourself !
Catarina : Sorry Sora...
Her face reminded me of a puppy that was being scolded by its master.
Sora : Forget it, just watch your steps from now on.*mumble* It was so damn bad for my heart...
Catarina : Hum ? What did you say ? I couldn't quite catch the last part.
I turned towards her and feeling frustrated for some reason I started ruffling her hair as I usually do, pushing her head down so that she wouldn't see my face.
Sora : Nothing, just get going.
It really was a reason-testing situation If I say so myself.
I tried avoiding looking at her in the eyes for as long a this memory was still vividly replaying in my mind.
We ran into a lot of townpeople on our way to the place where we usually purchase the food for the restaurant and among them the ones that caught the most my attention were a group of men excitedly chatting among themselves, judging by the side glances they were giving to Catarina next to me I easily understood it was most likely about her.
Seeing them blushing while taking about her was already irritating enough but Catarina even engaged in a friendly conversation with one of them, which made the irritation inside me grow slowly...
I could tell that Catarina was really trying to get him to open up more while all the poor guy could do was nod with a frozen red face.
Figures, any normal guy would get nervous if a girl as cute as Catarina, whom they only talked with once or twice at most , was trying to strike a conversation with them, but the way he was blushing and smiling clearly showed that he was in love with her but didn't realize it.
You'll be better off never realizing it. Trust me.
I glared at the man as a warning.
Seriously, what am I going to do with that subconscious charmer ?
I sighed internally and cut short their conversation, telling Catarina to hurry up or else we'll go back late at the restaurant.
The guy's face was really a sight to behold, it was a mixture between relief and annoyance. I kindly smiled at him in return.
As if nothing before had happened Catarina quickly grabbed my hand to go back at the restaurant, completely ignoring how flustered I was.
Who could have guess love would made me like this...? This girl was dangerous for my heart in many ways.
But it's not like I had much of a a reason to refuse so I quietly hold her hand in return.
It seems that I'll be even busier tonight, but...if it was for her sake I didn't mind much being that busy.
I even felt pathetic getting uneasy about talking to another woman while this girl had absolutely no problem with toying with my heart.
I smiled wryly inside.
But I knew that even if I wanted to I could never go back to who I was before because right now...she was all I could see.
I was at a point where I could completely understand the prince and the others. Strangely, even if I knew it could only become more difficult for me from now on, I never once regretted feeling this way about her...Ahh...I might have really gone crazy for good...
Hi everyone now that the volume 14 and 15 of My Next Life as a Villainess all Routes Lead to Doom have been released I thought it was the time to write a second post about all the characters' romantic progress. Please enjoy ! ^^
PS : These posts are not regular since they depend of the progress in the relationships so I can very well post them after each new volume depending of how much the characters progress in the romance part.
1) Geordo (93%)
As expected, Geordo is still the one with the most romantic progress, but I unfortunately noticed that, from an objective POV, their relationship was stagnating. In some volumes, there is a lot of progress between these two (like the grown-up kiss in volume 13), and in the next volume, it's as if these events never happened because they don't have a noticeable impact on their current relationship. So I would say that even if Geordo hasn't lost his first place in the ranking, he hasn't progressed much either; I would even say that he has slightly regressed.
2) Keith (82-85%)
Honestly I was very surprised by Keith's behavior in LN15, he seemed more... reliable maybe ? In any case we were able to take him more seriously. (maybe because he didn't spend the whole volume scolding Catarina) I hope he continues like this because he is on the right track and he could seriously make significant progress. Guess you have to thank this world for your sexiness Keith, it's one of the only things that kept you from dropping from your 2nd place.
3) Maria (84-85%)
I know some people will find it odd that Maria is ranked lower than Keith (especially after all their interactions in volume 15) but let's not forget that we are ranking ROMANTIC progress and while Maria has many of the things Catarina would want in her future partner, the fact that they are both girls prevents them from seeing each other as potential lovers. This is proven by the fact that Catarina always says things like "if I were a guy I would do this" which explicitly implies that Catarina only sees guys in a potentially romantic way and she can't imagine being in a relationship with someone of the same sex (which is a real shame because otherwise Maria would have won a long time ago).
4) Cezar (79-80%)
I was honestly very surprised and happy that Cezar didn't give up on his love for Catarina and that he's more determined than ever to make every effort to win her heart (because if he had given up I would have lost all interest in this ship). And although he's a fairly new character he quickly climbed to 4th place. He's quite active and has already managed to: go on a date with Catarina (all by themselves !), convince her to come visit him at the castle, and share conversation topics (farming and food). This guy is smart ! And in LN15 he even implicitly mentioned that he was even going to confess to her, so I have high expectations for him!
5) Raphael (75-77%)
Raphael continues to make progress slowly but surely and he becomes more and more important to the story. But he really stood out in LN14 where the story began to turn around him and he finally begins to act with others rather than filling out paperwork at the Ministry. I'm so proud !
6) Sora (70-75%)
I feel sorry for Sora but objectively his romantic progress is diminishing more and more and he is slowly descending into the "brother zone" or just "dependent colleague" which is really unfortunate. But given that Susanna's benefactor is heavily suspected of being his paternal figure I think it will soon be his turn to shine, hopefully we will also see his route in FL soon.
7) Alan and Nicol (55-60%)
Unfortunately it seems that Alan and Nicol are still background characters and they appear less less which is really a shame. Even if Alan had a "sweet moment" where "Catarina" kissed his cheek and embraced him it was still insignificant compared to the others. Moreover she did the same to Geordo. To add to this Alan is so tamed by Mary that I often forgets that he is a capture target... He has become so weak spirited that it worries me.
8) Mary (57%)
I was genuinely impressed by Mary and her boldness! She's even more active than her fiancé (I hesitated a lot over whether I should even put her above Alan in this ranking…) But unfortunately there's still no progress romantically on Mary's side, although she seems to be getting more aggressive.
Non ranked ) Sophia
As I said before Sophia has long stopped making progress for herself and is now completely cheering for her brother so I didn't rank her. But I consider that Nicol's progress is Sophia's too because it brings her closer to her dream, becoming Catarina's sister-in-law. Since Sophia has long realized that it was useless to woo Catarina herself because she could legally never end up with her.
Non ranked) Aaqil
Aaqil still hasn't shown any sign of coming back he is still non ranked for now.
The secret capture target :
????????
Oh and just to be sure, I insist on the fact that I have nothing against the girls' ships I'm just talking objectively from a neutral POV.
What scenes of Hamefura have made you cringe the most??
Hello ,
Humm...it's quite a difficult question...
I would say everytime a character say something overly sweet unnecessarily like for example when Geordo told Catarina in LN6 at the party in the castle that "as long as his beloved is here he will never get tired" I couldn't help but gritting my teeth a bit. And also everytime Maria says "I love you lady Catarina" or "I want to stay by your side for as long as possible" (which happens at least once in each volumes) at first it didn't bother me much but now she says it so often that I find it very annoying. Or also when Marsha Castley in LN5 kept rambling about how much Geordo was her destined prince and perfect he was ect...
If I think about anything else I will let you know.
There is also the scenes in the episode 8 of the first season where, in Geordo's dream desire when Catarina was about to fall backward he made a lot of dramatical poses to catch her...I couldn't bear watching that. And that also goes with Keith's fantasy where he is acting seductive with her while feeding her a cookie...I get goosebumps just by remembering it...
I also just remembered three super cringe scenes ! First is the one where Catarina offers a bouquet of instead of flowers at his graduation party all while looking so proud of it...and also the scene in S2 when Sora was about to kiss her and her stomach rumbled very loudly...And also when Catarina started to imagine Keith and Mary being in a forbidden love like Romeo and Juliette...She was so confident about it too...

For me personally, there was a moment that made me pause the episode and go get some fresh air — it was in Season 1, Episode 7, when Katarina wanted to be helpful and used her magic to seal the crack. I mean… damn, that was such cringe. It was both funny and painfully pathetic at the same time 😭
I agree with you, I had the same reaction...like this feeling of extreme embarassement for someone else...but since it wasn't in any volume of the light novel I consider this as non-canon (and this is for the best)
