Well, that dragon isn't the only friend getting along with Yumiella.

It's been building up to this point but about time she realizes about her feelings towards Patrick, that's beyond just friendship. We do see that Yumiella also has a strategic mind on who she can trust as well. Clever girl imo, with underrated intelligence in this show.

The romance is finally starting.

Yumiella, who refused the recruitment offer from the intelligence officer of the Varschein Kingdom, began to wonder during their conversation if she harbored special feelings for Patrick. She was curious about Patrick's secret actions, but he refused to disclose them to her no matter what. Later, the long awaited exam finally begins.

Yumiella and Patrick did well in the entire exam, but Elenora struggled during the makeup test. Fortunately, Yumiella helped her study and she passed. Then, we had Edwin apologizing to her... Sure, all's forgiven. But something I really wonder about is Yumiella and Patrick's relationship; lol.

We're almost at the end, but can they finish everything in just three episodes?

Yumeila still has a lot to learn about her own emotions mainly love.
I feel sorry for Patrick and everything he has to go trough to get his feelings across hopefully he will succeed in doing so soon.
It also seems that the prince and his followers are finally starting to get some sense the question is for how long tho.
And it also seems their way of handling Alicia isn't very good for her the question is wether they will understand that or not.

I think Alicia is just trying to solo dungeon by herself. After all, her level is so low it's not even a joke anymore, especially when there's a threat from both demon lord and neighbor kingdom.

I've no comment on the relationship between Patrick and Yumiella.

My man Patrick's been diligently trying to level up, you can do it. Yumiella's beyond dense, she realised her feelings and was like nah that can't be right. Heck she even thought Patrick got an abusive girlfriend lmao. Patrick has a tough time ahead of him but he's a great guy, he even changed the prince. He seemed like a different guy entirely. What happened to pink hair girl though? Btw I found the info that demon lord will only attack this kingdom interesting, something's up.

“That made me realise how I feel about Patrick” let’s goooo finally the dense cutie is being smart… or maybe not 💀 Yumiella still not quite understanding Patrick’s feelings, but at least she realises how important he is to her.

Feel bad for Patrick. Doing all this to level up and be someone “worthy of her” only for Yumiella to interpret his actions as him hiding a gf 😩. Obviously will never reach lv 99, but respect to him for trying to better himself.

Elenora is an idiot for everything but Edwin, lmao. The fact she turns into a damn genius when you connect academic facts to the prince had my dying. Remembering Silas? Too hard. Remembering Edwin’s grandfather’s grandfather? Easy.

Well well well, an apology from Edwin for all his shitty behaviour since the entrance ceremony was a welcome sight. He and his cronies have been nothing but rude to Yumiella simply because she’s strong and it’s about time they squashed it. At least until Alicia goes missing and William doubts Yumiella is telling the truth 💀 these guys are so unserious.

I feel like Alicia might be under a mind control spell and that’s why she went off to the dungeon alone? Her eyes were blank in that last shot and it doesn’t really make sense to go off to a dark dungeon solo like that..

Either way, next ep should be fun.

"There's one thing l'd like to know, purely out of curiosity."
"What's that?"
"Your reason for staying in this kingdom."
THE WAY MY HEART MELTED WHEN HER FIRST THOUGHT WAS OF PATRICK (*≧∀≦*)
Now she's second guessing her feelings since he's the only one who really talks to her but
COME ON YUMIELLA, THIS IS PROGRESS ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ | really hope she doesn't settle for friends!!!

Yumiella: “want to go ride Ryu with me?”
Patrick: (on the inside: 😰 *has flashbacks from her rather interesting flight last time*)
On the outside: “pass” (*^^*)

I love that she wants to spend more time with him and this time it’s HIM not getting the message, he wants to get stronger so she’ll notice him but doesn’t know that she already has 🥰. Watching him be so emphatic that he doesn’t have a girlfriend so she knows he’s available- they’re both so cute 😂

Yumiella is starting to get respecting/appreciated (and less feared) by people a lot now, but still funny when she has the misunderstandings with Patrick (who's growing on me now that he's starting going to dungeons to try and win over Yumiella).

Interested to see how far the story gets, and hope it gets a second season if it finishes without them defeating the Demon Lord! (Imagining it might not get that far)

The Linus Tech Tips spy was kinda random but he did have some interesting things to say, like the fact other kingdoms are aware of Yumiella and that the demon lord is supposed to only attack the kingdom Yumiella is in, that’s intriguing for sure but for now that’s all we got as Yumiella helped the spy escape, she might be betraying the kingdom with that but what can you do lol. And behind the scenes Patrick has been leveling up because of Yumiella’s comment about only being into people that are stronger than her, and I respect that he’s doing it despite knowing he can’t reach level 99. And in regards to this we had quite the funny scene where Yumiella thought Patrick had an abusive girlfriend lol, rip Patrick.

And later we had a scene where we got to see Edwin apologize to Yumiella at last since he was the only one not to so far, and it was all thanks to Patrick, if no one else got Yumiella’s back I know Patrick does lol. It was also cute how Yumiella wanted to know what Patrick said about her, really enjoying how she’s progressively thinking more and more about him and being unsure of her feelings. And speaking of Edwin, I also enjoyed that bit where Eleanora only knew history that was related to Edwin when they were studying, it’s all Edwin with this girl lol. And lastly we got teased on Alicia being missing, and based on those eyes at the end there’s definitely more going on than meets the eye.

for everyone wondering whether or not ... Yumiella is REALLY THIS CLUELESS ABOUT EVERYTHING WITH PATRICK
i heard it from someone who already finished the light novel and finished the entire story ....
no worries no spoilers. Yumiella IS INDEED AN AIRHEAD CLUELESS person when it comes to social interactions.. don't forget that her previous life wasn't merely "introverted"
i swear .. Yumiella wouldn't mind getting married "to the concept of leveling up" rather than "acknowledging that someone cares for her"
she's an illogical super power, with ZERO social sense

rather Yumiella's past was straight out ANTI-SOCIAL ... and both are completely different.

Introvert

Being an introvert means your energy levels are depleted quickly from social interaction. While an introvert might also suffer from social anxiety or even be an antisocial person, the “introvert” label doesn’t require it. Introverts can be confident and happy to socialize within their chosen boundaries.

Antisocial

Introvert and antisocial people differ greatly in their willingness to interact with others. Antisocial people are actively unwilling to interact with others. They are often hostile and angry towards other people. Antisocial people, unlike introverts, have no concern for the unwritten rules of social interactions. They are cynical and unempathetic towards others.

Antisocial people will typically prioritize themselves, their work, or their own fun over friends and socializing.
The Differences Between Antisocial and Introvert

1. Energy Drain

Introverts are defined by their loss of energy when they’re interacting with other people. This could be worst in large crowds, or with one on one meetings. It all depends on the person and the intensity of the interaction. In order to replenish their energy, introverts need to be alone or with a small, peaceful group of people they’re close to.

This can be seen as being antisocial because they might leave parties early, or steer clear of big groups socializing altogether. However, these choices have nothing to do with how much they like or even love the people around them, they’re just avoiding mental exhaustion.

Antisocial people have no concept of the energy drain. Their decision to stay way has nothing to do with their energy, and all to do with how little they like being in the company of others. Antisocial people could be extroverts too. Their energy might not be diminished by being around other people, they just don’t enjoy socializing or interacting with them.

2. Care and Concern

By nature, introverts tend to be very empathetic. They care for other people’s feelings deeply. Introverts are often very aware of their own emotions, and this makes them extra perceptive of the emotions of others. They never want to make others feel the kind of discomfort they do at times, so they always make sure to take care of the feelings of the people around them.

Antisocial people differ in that they have little to no care or concern for the feelings of the people around them. They aren’t interested in how their words or actions affect others. Unlike introverts, antisocial people don’t follow the unwritten rules of society or social niceties.

Introverts will usually struggle to admit when they want to leave a gathering or that they don’t have the energy to attend an event. They feel upset and worried that they might hurt someone. Antisocial people will openly admit that they aren’t having fun, or don’t want to go, with no concern for how it might make anyone else feel.

3. Relationships and Connections

Despite plenty of misconceptions, introverts can have plenty of friends and loved ones they’re close to. Many people assume that introverts are shy and reclusive, but this isn’t necessarily the case.

Introverts might be loners, or they might be friendly social people. Introversion is about energy, not the number of friends you have. Introverts are also presumed to be shy and struggle to make new friends. This is, of course, not true. Introverts could happily make new friends, and easily maintain a fun group of old friends.

Antisocial people, on the other hand, don’t choose to make new connections often and likely maintain a very small circle of friends and family. They would rather be alone as often as possible and don’t feel that their lives would be improved with more relationships or connections.

4. Enjoyment Gained

An important difference between people who are antisocial and those who are introverted is how much or how little they enjoy company. Introverts are often shamed for being “boring” and “never want to have any fun”. Admittedly, introverts might choose quieter activities given the choice, but there’s no reason why an introvert can’t enjoy being social.

Introverts can still be party-goers and fun-lovers and enjoy doing things with their friends and the people they love. They might avoid or be apprehensive about talking to large groups of new people, but that’s only down to the impending exhaustion, not an aversion to socializing.

Antisocial people are typically the complete opposite. They genuinely don’t care for socializing or expect to have fun with groups of people. They might have a small circle of friends, but they likely don’t require their presence for excitement or fun.

For too long now, introverts have been mislabelled as antisocial, and it’s just not fair. Introverts can be exciting, adventurous people who like the company of others. They just keep it within their boundaries and protect their energy. If a person is antisocial, then they aren’t protecting themselves, they just don’t care at all. This is the basic difference between antisocial and introvert.

i hope i cleared it out.

LMAO this girl Yumiella is SUCH a dense airhead like she really views everything as platonic😭

So this girl Alicia is controlled by most likely the enemy kingdom or something bc it seems like she’s nowhere near the school or anywhere in the kingdom, my guess is she’ll be saved by Yumiella easily and Alicia will stop being afraid of our dark princess😭

Alicia looks like she is possessed and went off somewhere. Maybe she's heading towards the dungeon Yumiella mentioned to her, but her sudden disappearance has caused quite an uproar amongst her three knights who are the main reason why she ain't even leveling up in the first place.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I wonder what level Patrick is right now. I'm beginning to think that actually reaching lvl99 is quite impossible for others, and the reasons why Yumiella was able to reach lvl99 other than being extra hardworking is that she was born as the 'hidden last boss' and also since she is an isekaijin (they are usually people with great potentials, etc.). It's also nice that the prince managed to lessen his imbecility and reconciled with Yumiella.
Anyway, maybe Alicia was mind-controlled by a rival country like the one who tried to poach Yumiella

I dont want the side characters to apologize, I want to keep hating them!

This show lost all spice now. And the romance just has no actual chemistry either..

.

Also... Eleanora... so she can only be good at memorization if it involves Edwin...

It's interesting that Yumi is actually trying to hang out more often with Patrick, but she keeps on getting detoured, LOL

But Yumi gets SUS at Patrick and think he's meeting with other girls... HAHAHA

Yumi's starting to get Jelly... soon... she's going to turn this into a certain Yandere school incident...

A spy from the Kingdom of Remlest, Linus, meets Yumiella for solicitation, but the kingdom does not get along with Patrick's family. And to make matters worse, the dragon that she acquired recently, Ryu has become a tool to spite war between kingdoms. And her noticing the kingdom's soldiers chasing after him, they both make an escape, though she must make calculated moves...like her road to romance, when it comes to Patrick. Eleonora coming to Yumiella for her help in her exams, she's just not fit for the job, but add the things about Edwin, and suddenly she gets the motivation to be serious for once, with perfection. I swear, she always interrupts the time between Yumiella and Patrick, when the former is always about to enquire about his likings, but at the very least, he is making the effort to be her companion. But Yumiella too...she also has her misunderstandings lols, but assuming that Patrick has a girlfriend, from the dungeon training injuries that he has. Will these two ever get along at all?

Yumiella, still on the love train about the affections of Edwin and Eleonora, she's at least glad that Patrick is kinda open. And Edwin finally having the balls to apologize to her for all the trouble he and the other people had given her, it's all part of society, and the other part, thanks to Patrick for clearing the perceptions about her. As compensation, letting Yumiella participate in the battle against the Demon Lord is a godsend, though his comments about her lights a brutal fire inside of her. The problem now, is to properly power Alicia up, and Yumiella's proposition to bring her to a dungeon, she's just not ready for it.

Alicia's disappearance, though sudden, has everyone scrambling to find her...and by the looks of it, she's deep into manipulation.

Another weak episode.

It's stories like this that give anime a bad reputation. Pure amateur stuff in the writing department from start to finish. Also, the writer for some reason thought the main character very likable. In reality she's barely tolerable. Her humor sucks, she's inconsiderate to an irritating degree, immature despite her advanced age, and her rotten cynicism the cherry on the cake.
