Zoinks, scoob. That white-washing is pretty bad. Some editor or something didn't even read the plot synopsis before signing off on that.

It's whitewashing just in a different way. In the Novel Claudia gets white skin after some shenanigans with the Light Spirit King and it is the one part of the Novel I hate. So technically the cover is correct but it doesn't mean we can't dislike it

Glad this ones back. Read the novel like I guess a year or two ago now? It's another relatively short 'Villainess' type novel, but it was pretty alright read.

He's mad cause later Claudia is going to get the "blessing" of the Light spirit king and her skin color will change. Then suddenly, everyone is going to say she's like a completely different person and other BS like "You're now 20% more beautiful" and other ignorant shit. Basically, the story is about to get incredibly racist.

Am I the only one concerned that we waited for 2mos just to read 2 pages of extra?? This kind of chapter should be considered bonus. 😭

Oh wow, so they're really gonna go "light skin is better." I think it's colorism rather than racism though. Either way, it's gross.

It might be because she gets blessed by the light spirit king dude, who made her white (if I remember correctly, so that she wouldn't be discriminated or in penance for something the heroine did )

It's part of the Japanese beauty standard. Not great, but I don't really think the author's intending to be disparaging, here - just accidentally so.

Not that it makes it any less stupid or terrible.

@Chailo that's cause it is a bonus. Chapter 8 just released a couple weeks ago. It was on break for a couple months for the volume release.
