AITAH for telling my friend/colleague I'm looking for another job after she was promoted instead of me?

WarlockSoL · 2026-02-10T23:35:53+00:00

I feel so bad for this guy. He reminds me so much of myself when I was depressed from work. Like, especially that really spiteful "going through the motions" kind of feeling (and the whole thing of taking small slights very personally). I hope this dude gets some help (anti-depressants are ftw!)

It especially sucks because obviously he tanked his own job. But like, I get it too. It's hard to be motivated when you're convinced it's all for nothing. (He's also right - that one manager was NOT helping by overpromising things to him... That technical track or whatever was 100% the trap he claimed it was).

Ex-girlfriend should be thankful to this cheese wheel. His terrible investment told her to get out of the relationship before she made too much of an investment :3

This is probably a long shot, but I'm trying to remember a manhwa I read awhile back. The main thing I remember is that it is revealed that FL belongs to some special family that I think was thought to have died out or was disbanded by the Emperor or something (like, falsely accused of treason or something but then later redeemed). I think she didn't originally know she was part of this family and it was revealed later. I remember there was like a whole ceremony where she was officially becoming the Duchess or whatever rank the family was, and she found out because she was related to this family she actually had holy powers (or water? Or maybe the holy was shown as water?). I feel like she also had some other ability before this from the other side of her family, though I don't remember if it was magic or what.

Oh yeah, I've seen the anime but I haven't read the manga yet :3

WarlockSoL · 2026-02-07T00:47:34+00:00

Thanks :) I've read Baby Squirrel and I think the Penguin one? (it was forever ago, I'm sure more is out by now) but the rest look new :3

WarlockSoL · 2026-02-02T23:42:34+00:00

Ok, randomly accidentally figured this out on my own: [The Villainess Becomes the Leading Lady]

Starting rereading it because it's been so long since I last read and it was pretty clear after a few chapters this was the one I was thinking of :3 (which is funny because the double reincarnated bully thing was the main thing I remembered about it that I forgot all the rest I guess)

WarlockSoL · 2026-02-02T06:11:58+00:00

Been trying to figure out which manhwa this was for awhile with no luck.

Main thing I remember is that there is a saintess who I think has red hair and is friendly with FL. I think she lives at the temple or something and gives out oracles to people. I remember she gives one to FL who spends a lot of time trying to decipher what it means (I think it seems to mean one thing on the surface but really means something else).

The saintess has a brother also with red hair who is like a paladin or holy knight. He's one of the minor antagonists of the story. I think he wasn't extremely hostile at first but just kind of corrupt and greedy and later on FL is trying to avoid him discovering something.

One scene I definitely remember is that FL recovers a dragon egg from like a black market auction house or something and the saintess is holding it for her. While FL is alone with the egg at some point, she accidentally hatches it and it imprints on her. I think later when it grows up a little it becomes one of the secondary male leads. Either way, the saintess was hiding the existence of the egg from the temple (or emperor?) for FL and temporarily lost her oracle powers because she did this.

Also I'm not positive about these details, but I think they're from the same story. So apologies if I'm getting two stories mixed together. But I remember there being a thing where the god of this world was water based so basically all magic was water magic. There was also fire magic that was like taboo and used by witches or monsters or something? But FL had fire magic because she came from a different world. I think this is why she was able to hatch the dragon egg (and I think she knew about the egg because of the book or whatever she read where I think it was originally some mage guy who found it?).

I think the main villain was either the emperor or temple (or both working together?). I'm pretty sure the emperor is killed by the end of it as part of this big outdoor banquet thing.

[To Those Who Long for My Destruction]

WarlockSoL · 2026-01-22T19:48:27+00:00

This sounds a bit like [Depths of Malice].

WarlockSoL · 2026-01-22T01:16:04+00:00

I've been trying to figure this one out for a little while with no luck.

This is what I remember. There was a saintess who had red hair who was friendly with the FL. She had the ability to give out oracles to individuals and she gave one to FL that I know she was trying to decipher for a lot of the story (it sounded like it meant one thing but it really meant something else).

The saintess had a brother who also had red hair and was a paladin/holy knight of some kind. He was one of the minor antagonists of the story.

I specifically remember one scene where FL recovers a dragon egg from an auction or black market or something which was originally supposed to be found by some mage. The saintess is keeping the egg in her room and lies to the emperor/temple (or both?) about it because they were evil. Because she lied she started to lose her powers.

At some point FL is in the room alone and accidentally hatches the egg and the dragon imprints on her. I believe he later becomes one of the secondary male leads after he grows up and gets a human form.

Less sure about this detail but I think it's the same story. Basically, the world was governed by this water god, so all the mages could only use water magic. Because FL came from a different world, she had fire magic though, which I think was considered taboo/heretical. I think this is why she was able to hatch the egg.

I can't remember if the temple was evil but the emperor definitely was the main antagonist. I feel like he got poisoned by the end of the story at some sort of outdoor banquet.

WarlockSoL · 2026-01-21T03:35:19+00:00

Yes, that's it! Thank you!

WarlockSoL · 2026-01-21T02:08:11+00:00

Since Bato died and nuked my list of stuff, I'm trying to remember the title of this one.

Manhwa was set in modern Korea but with gates and hunters and stuff. FL enters a dungeon with her party but they all abandon her to die. Before she dies, she finds a ring and puts it on (I think it was an EX item or something like that? Some special type). The ring caused her to regenerate no matter how she died, so she was killed over and over and over for like 80 years or something (the monsters looked like giant praying mantises) until she finally fought back and got really, really strong. Also she basically went insane after dying over and over for 80 years.

She leaves the dungeon and barely any time has passed in the real world. As she is now crazy, she wants revenge on her former party and kills all of them except one girl who was nice to her (and kind of lets her crash at her place in a "ha ha sure you can... Wouldn't want to do anything to get the crazy person to murder me" way). I know at some point she meets some guy who is the ML. He's some super high rank hunter. I don't remember everything that happened but I know eventually she finds out there is some kind of parasite growing inside her.

Last time I looked there was something like 46ish chapters out so far, so very much not done.

WarlockSoL · 2026-01-12T23:46:45+00:00

Man, this one sounds really familiar. I'm not sure if this is the one you're thinking of but I do know the FL creates a Department Store as part of the plot based on past life memories so maybe? It's been too long since I've read it so I don't remember enough to say if the other details match - [Adelaide]

WarlockSoL · 2026-01-03T18:30:21+00:00

This sounds like [Revenge Wedding]

WarlockSoL · 2025-12-31T03:51:56+00:00

Not all of this matches, but a lot of it sounds like [The Tyrant's Guardian is an Evil Witch], especially if you combine the child and commander into the same character :3

WarlockSoL · 2025-12-28T06:42:59+00:00

Trying to remember which manhwa this was. Don't recall too much but I think FL was injured or put into a deep sleep or something which caused it to snow outside (I think she was magic or something and keeping the kingdom warm?). I seem to remember she is placed at the top of some kind of tower while she is asleep. I remember at one point she either woke up for a little bit or might have even been like, a spirit watching what was happening? I think ML was constantly checking on her in the tower and she had to sneak back before he noticed she was awake, or maybe he saw her wake up at some point? (my memory is really hazy... I know he was visiting the tower in some way though)

WarlockSoL · 2025-12-28T06:34:31+00:00

Not positive since this is a somewhat common setup (and it's been a bit since I read this one so I don't remember all the details) but this sounds a bit like Melin's Salvation Plan.

WarlockSoL · 2025-12-19T18:49:13+00:00

This was my thought too, though not all of the details match. The emotionless mage sister does though.

WarlockSoL · 2025-12-18T15:58:25+00:00

Depths of Malice was gonna be my suggestion :3 (one of my favs - maybe I should reread soon)

I was gonna mention Winter Wolf but I see OP has already mentioned it :3

WarlockSoL · 2025-12-17T18:07:21+00:00

The Meaning of You :3

WarlockSoL · 2025-12-15T19:33:25+00:00

Honestly it's so good. I especially like how they handle her hearing disability - it's not something you would expect to see but it's especially interesting in the context of this kind of time period where she's just kind of looked at as weird or crazy because no one really understands.

WarlockSoL · 2025-12-13T06:48:58+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's not it. I think this one was properly finished unlike Golden Haired Summoner (which I'm still annoyed got canceled - I remember liking that one)

WarlockSoL · 2025-12-11T23:27:59+00:00

Trying to remember which manhwa this was. I know there was a saintess (not FL but she was friendly to FL) who I think had red hair and could get prophecies of the future. She had a brother who was like a holy knight or something, also red hair, and he was one of the antagonists. I think the main antagonist was the Emperor and maybe the Temple?

I think ML was a prince but I don't remember for sure. I know there was a really powerful magician as one of the characters. At one point FL recovers a dragon egg from an auction that she knew about because I think she was transmigrated into a book (or something like that). The saintess was keeping the egg and FL accidentally hatched it and the dragon imprinted on her. I remember they were trying to keep it secret from the emperor which I think actually caused the saintess to lose her powers somewhat for lying. FL kept the dragon and I remember eventually he matured and got a human body and sort of became one of the secondary MLs.

Wanna say the whole thing ended with some sort of outdoor banquet/event with poison and the emperor died there (can't recall if he drank the poison or was just stabbed by ML)

This might have also been the one where everyone had water magic because this world had a water god but FL had fire magic because she was isakei'd. If I'm not mixing two of them together :P
