People Have A Very Consistent Habit Of Completely Forgetting Ralsei's Existence.
People have a very consistent habit of completely forgetting Ralsei's existence.
Maybe he even forgets it himself sometimes.
Queen often outright ignores him...
Noelle doesn't usually acknowledge him, though she's usually very polite and friendly...
And it's not like she can't see him - she sees him get into the teacup with Susie and Kris...
...and realizes he's standing in front of her at one point.
She even wonders who he is...
...but, strangely, never asks him his name or talks to him when she gets the chance.
Even Susie, who is generally very good about remembering him...
...sometimes just forgets he's there.
(even squashing Ralsei and walking over him on her way to ask Kris if they missed her)
Strangely, Ralsei doesn't seem to mind this.
But there is one exception: when he finally puts his foot down to stop the Roaring.
Suddenly he's got everyone's attention:
Susie gives him a concerned look, Noelle notices him, and he completely cows Berdly, which might be a first for the whole cast.
Even Queen reels from what he says.
This leads me to believe that the reason people ignore Ralsei isn't from some sinister magic thing.
It's because he usually doesn't take a stand for his own existence.
He's so wrapped up in his "purpose" that he doesn't allow himself to have an identity.
Even to Ralsei, "Ralsei" barely exists.
And although people don't intend to, sometimes that means he winds up forgotten when he's standing right next to them.

Alberu: Please, I'm begging you go to a doctor.
Cale: I'm sorry is this 'OUR' stab wound? Stay out of it.
Ralsei’s Astral Projection habit - it’s not about us.
It’s about Susie.
Twice now, Ralsei pulls Kris aside and asks them to think about what Susie’s doing.
People have theorized this is to “get alone time away from the Player”, but I think he actually does this because he’s trying to communicate something about Susie to Kris.
“Astral Projection”?
Both Kris and Ralsei act like they’re viewing/have viewed Susie’s scenes.
In Chapter 2, Ralsei is alright with Kris not viewing Susie’s scene if they’re not interested.
If doing the Snowgrave route, Kris will skip Susie’s scene by themself, and Ralsei, after initially being flustered, will say, “As long as Susie’s happy”.
So that’s why - what?

About Kim Rok Soo’s abilities (spoiler alert for chapters 356+)
Have you guys ever noticed that all of Kim Rok Soo’s abilities that are revealed are related to time?
Record: Allows KRS to have perfect recollection of the past
Instant: Being able to move beyond human limitations in the present
I wonder if his other abilities are also related to time. Maybe he has one that is related to the future.
I like how alberu knows how cale operates. Like everybody seems to be assuming that cale is righteous and his morale compass is definetely "good", but alberu knows thats not the case. Its not so bad that everyone thinks so, i feel like it will be the running gag throrough the whole series, but i was hoping for at least someone to have an idea that cale is always strategizing and his intentions are not purely good.
Cale is kind, yes. But he is not righteous
I REALLY hope alberu does not change his view of cale, from someone who always has ulterior motives to a lawful good person
I'm late, but Happy 4 years of LCF!! 🥳
To celebrate, I redrew one of the first pieces I've ever made for this fandom! Both the novel and I have come a long way TvTb
A concept in my head that been rolling around a lot:
Hanahaki, but instead of it being triggered by unrequited love, it's triggered because all the love you have for a person turns inwards because you're too afraid to show it.
So it kills you, not because someone doesn't love you back, but because you don't let it out and all that love you have stored, that could grow into something beautiful, turns on you and turns your insides beautiful.
Love is growth, and without any place for it to grow outside, it grows in. If you confess, reciprocated or not, the disease goes away because it's no longer trapped. It gives self-destruction a new meaning.
whats that defunct land quote again? every part of the film making process is awful, but not making film is even worse? idk something like that. anywah im being completely normal about art rn ::))
it is canon that:
Noelle would mercilessly grind her Catz to get the right combination, eliminating all Catz that strayed from her path
Noelle has a morbid curiosity, and it gives her the determination to see scary and messed up things, like videogame creepypastas, despite her emotional response to cry and fear
I conclude that:
Noelle could complete an Undertale No Mercy route
Noelle would stream her No Mercy Playthrough and be an instant hit, because everytime someone dies, Noelle spends 5 minutes grieving the person she just killed

==========
Personal Remarks:
Creating this list was quite a huge task for me. It also made me appreciate the author's hard work, given that she had to write the novel while having family and health problems.
This list was limited to the Korean and English-speaking audiences because finding information about official translations of the novel or webtoon adaptation in other languages was difficult, especially researching the exact dates.
Some personal bias was also involved in the creation of this list. Adar Terra should actually not be included here because it was a fandom thing and not an official one. Unless you count me getting the DMCA notice from the official publisher as an "official" thing. 😂
And that's it. This list will continue to be updated as more official events happen. If you know of other official events related to the novel that I missed, please share it in the comments! Thank you! 🥰
