I am surprised with how at ease Tristan is with the perspective of Arista committing murder. Speaking of which, I wonder why Ursula didn’t mention Arista’s attempt to murder Eric to Ariel when she tried to take her voice again at Melody’s birthday party.
I guess Ursula didn’t find that detail relevant. She merely suggested they made a deal… well, just said Arista visited her but that’s pretty self explanatory why she even would be there.
We know Arista will fail to fullfill her end of the deal, and Eric will end up being an awful match for Ariel. While Ariel would still not like the idea of her husband being killed, even after all those years of toxic marriage, I don’t think she might have cared about that detail much, except for Arista loving her sister so much she accepted that deal. At the moment Ariel was bombarded with much heavier secrets her family had. Her mental state was in the gutter.
What hits hard right here is that Arista is starting to have doubts about her task. She has second thought that Eric might actually make her little sister happy… And we know how her doubts are going to backfire on everyone in the long run.

Wonder if this means Tristan has met Ondine or Berthalda if he’s likely been to their world.
I think you’re onto something here. Hopefully Berthalda and Ondine will get more plot relevance (especially with Ondine helping Belle).

I can’t wait to see how they’re involved in the disaster wedding that’s about to take place. Or maybe Tristan interacts directly with Vanessa without Arista present.

That’s actually a really interesting detail that Tristan brought up. Apparently in every world except for Atlantica that contains mermaids, they can just become human whenever they please without needing external magic or nefarious contracts from a certain sea witch to do so.
Yeah, Ariel’s world as a whole seems to have more than we initially thought going on. I wonder if this is something they’ll revisit later, or if it’s just merely for the purposes of this chapter.

I have a theory regarding the particular nature of Ariel’s world, especially when it comes to mermaids. If we look closely, and according to what Tristan says, it seems that in this world mermaids need magical intervention in order to return to land. As we go further into the chapters, we also see that mermaids possess the ability to defend themselves: the fairy who appears to Ariel a few chapters later restores this ability, allowing her to summon the trident to defend herself.
More generally, I have the impression that the worlds of most of our princesses require external magic in order to progress. For instance, we can look at Cinderella’s world with the presence of her Fairy Godmother, or Aladdin’s world with the Genie of the lamp. More importantly, if we look closely, these are worlds in which relics appear. I believe that the presence of these relics, in certain worlds, weakens—or at least limits—the protagonists’ ability to act. It is a theory that, I admit, still needs further support, but it is certainly worth discussing.
Doubtful since a relic is only “won” by one woman besting another. The only “relic-holders” we know of in the story is Cinderella (the Slipper), Anastasia (the Locket presumably), and Ariel (Unknown as of writing this).
Its been a while since the last update. Of couse nobody will expect you ignore the rest of you lifes, just to work on this
But still hope everything its ok with you guys, and you still not give up this story. I really thing its amazing.
Yeah, I visited this site yesterday and wanted to write something along these lines but I didn’t want to sound pushy. Hopefully everything is okay and the updates resume soon.
At a certain point its challenging to keep holding on as a fan to be really honest. 4 months and not a single new page. It is dissapointing to keep checking. Sorry to say it.
Trust me everyone here wants updates. But reading your comment feels like you assume Sonne no longer cares about the project which isn’t true. He’s been working on this comic for 15 years, a high quality comic completely for free.
There are periods when people have less time, less energy, or simply aren’t as motivated. Life happens. Forcing yourself to work on something when you’re exhausted or simply not in mood can often be counterproductive, especially when it’s a project Sonne deeply cares about such as TLCT.
You don’t spend a decade and a half of your life to something if you don’t care about it—much less doing it for free. The fact that updates are slower at times doesn’t mean the project has been abandoned; but I think it also has to with the fact that he had been spoiling us with super fast updates the previous months so the change does feel more evident.
May I add that community engagement matters. People discussing the comic, sharing their thoughts, or introducing it to new readers is a lot of help. From the English-speaking side of the fandom, I don’t see much promotion outside Reddit sometimes. I’m Spanish for example and I’ve been promoting the comic on Insta as Crookedsnowwhite for almost 10 years (will be a decade in July).
Instead of just waiting (which we all are doing), you could help keep the fandom active while waiting for the next updates by making appreciation posts, discussing theories, recommending the comic to others, or simply leaving comments, hell, even making random edits on TikTok or thirst traps of DILF Eric, It’s not that hard. There are plenty of silent readers here who rarely interact, and creating conversation or debate is always crucial in a fandom
If you truly love TLCT, there are many ways to support it beyond waiting for the next update.
Next up Vanessa with Eric cant wait

I think it’s a really interesting theory!
But is Jasmine’s scimitar a Relic (as shown in the promo images of the gallery)?

Well, first time for everything, Tristan. 🤷♀️
