In the novel, does Lloyd ever learned how OG Lloyd broke Javier's wooden sword in two?

I'm gonna ramble a bit but short answer: Yes.

Okay, first of all, the webtoon adaptation went differently from the webnovel. Some moments are skipped, and some others are delegated to a different chapter. Heck, a lot of Lloyd and Javier's banters got skipped. How Lloyd dealt with Viscount Lacona's knight is different, the knight didn't try to assassinate Lloyd in his sleep, and Lloyd didn't accept the knight's demand for a duel. There is more insight from Lloyd on why Javier is hesitant to completely trust his sincerity (the RP is still in the negative before).

Like, here's their conversation after they dealt the contract with the viscount (who tried to sabotage the water in the Frontera fiefdom):

So, here. The knight just barged and tried to attack Lloyd, in the viscount territory, except his attack was stopped by Javier. Completely different from the webtoon. Of course, Lloyd being Lloyd, he teased and made fun of Javier whenever and wherever 😂 Anyway, the development is completely different from the webtoon.

There's a part where Lloyd said there's good news and bad news, of how Javier is so talented that people would want to recruit him. Javier said it won't matter because his loyalty lies to the Baron alone and no one else basically.

They even talked about Sir Bayern, the webnovel expanded how Lloyd appreciates the other senior knight in the Frontera barony as he is a steadfast, fair, and unselfish man who prioritized the development and betterment of the fiefdom over getting envious of Javier, a younger knight, of being stronger. The novel has more pronounced in-depth appreciation and closer relationship of the other side characters than the webnovel, more than just comedic gag and Lloyd just using/exploiting Sir Bayern's talent.

Here's a glimpse of how Javier berated Lloyd for being improper and his RP no longer being in the negative:

Sorry for low quality, I just screenshot them through mobile 😂

ANYWAY! The conversation, place, and timing of Javier and Lloyd having their talk is different from the webtoon. It's soft, and feels more fluffy and I prefer the novel over the manhwa adaptation, but both medium are good. Just, I like the softer and calmer feels in the original webnovel.

I recently read the novel of "I'll become the matriarch" and I enjoyed it a whole lot. 10/10 would recommend the novel.

I just want to point one thing out: I did not expect going out of the novel shipping Gallahan Lombardi and Clarivan Pellet. The little interactions and few hints of how Clarivan feels about him and the way Gallahan can count on him and pulls him into their inner circle. Also, their shared parentship over Tia.

I don't need them to get together, I'm just happy they found each other.

Also, loved to see how Tia's mom and dad got together. I had not expected to see Gallahan make such a huge decision before Tia's interference but I guess after the death of his wife, he put Tia first and must have thought she would live better if he silently slipped back into the background.

The way Vegas and Pete love each other in the novel is klhadjkhsajdhajlshdjklahsdjl gosh!

[scarefox]

I didn’t read the novel. But I know about the existence of Venice and that he’s sort of adopted by Vegas and Pete. But I am a bit confused about how they are related. He’s generally titled as their son. But I read he’s basically Vegas brother / half brother? Another son of Vegas dad? That makes it a bit weird for me to call him their son.

The hypocrisy of Jinshi and MaoMao

*light novel spoilers*

I just love how hypocritical MaoMao's nature is. She yells at Jinshi for being a 'Masochist' and yet we see that she's no different. Now, by definition Masochist is a person who drives sexual gratification from their own pain and humiliation, plus it relates to Jinshi's tendency to do self harm (like burning his skin with a brand)

And what is MaoMao's most favourite thing in this world?

POISON

She literally takes pleasure in consuming it and no one can convince me otherwise. Plus she uses dangerous plants and animals and snakes whatnot in the name of her so-called experiments. Her dad may call her a 'mad Scientist' but that is a direct indication of self harm.

And she calls Jinshi a Masochist.

I mean, think about it! The amount of anxiety she gives to Jinshi! She came prepared with a vomit inducing medicine but even she had no idea whether it would work or not. She was just hoping it would work in the salt chapter.

And the same goes for her hand, on which she has conducted countless experiments. One flower even burned her skin and its marks never left her skin. She said it was all for her hobby. What kind of weird hobby is that? Maybe, our little adorable mad scientist is just like that.

One brands his own skin, while the other takes heavenly pleasure in consuming poison.

So my point is, Jinshi and MaoMao are not that different as one might think they are and that's why their dynamic works so well.

Let's look at the excerpts from volume 5:

She didn’t know how long they sat that way. All she knew was that Jinshi was looking down at her with a faintly triumphant expression, as if he saw that the breath had reached every corner of her body now. He wiped away the tears that had sprung to her eyes as she struggled to breathe. It was then that Maomao felt a flash of intense anger. “I said that if you were going to kill me, you should do it with poison,” she told him. “I refuse to let you poison yourself,” Jinshi said, his fingers tracing her lips. “You can’t pretend you didn’t know that you were one of the candidates. As much as I’m sure you’d like to.” He wasn’t done, either: “Who was that man, anyway? I’m sure you’re not a dancer.” So he had been watching them! “I was just paying for my drink,” Maomao said. “It didn’t cost much.” She tried to look away, but with his hand on her head, she really couldn’t.

Jinshi just choked her and yet he refuses to let MaoMao poison herself. A lot of people misinterpret this scene, and don't like it all that much, saying it was just fanservice stuff but this is how I see it: Jinshi wasn't trying to kill MaoMao, he was just trying to make MaoMao submit to him for once (even if the way he did it was very wrong, but guess he's kinky like that). MaoMao is actively trying to harm herself and Jinshi loves MaoMao a lot, he cannot just let her kill herself.

It was more about him trying to exert his dominance in their weirdish - complicated relationship and that also backfires on him as we see in the next volume that MaoMao escapes Jinshi's grasps using Pairin's techniques.

And then they both continue to avoid each other in the entire next volume! Because they both realised that they have crossed boundaries.

They both are hypocrites.

And they both refuse to accept their feelings.

In one of the later volumes, she gives Jinshi a piece of her mind on how he should tell her everything clearly, unequivocally, what he feels, and he literally declares that "he will make her his wife", which is nice and all but look at the wording MaoMao used here....

Excerpts from LN Vol 7, chapter 19 called "A man and a woman play the game"

"You’re forever telling me I need to use my words, Master Jinshi, but are you in any position to criticize? Everything you say to me, everything you do, it’s like it’s calculated to save you from ever having to actually say what you mean! To make me figure it all out! You know, you remind me of someone. You act exactly like a man who used to come by our brothel all the time. He was in love with one of the girls, but he would never just come out and say it. He thought it should be obvious from the way he acted. He was so sure he had a good thing going with this woman that he never sent her so much as a letter. I remember how forlorn he looked when someone else swooped in and snatched her away! He kept coming to the brothel after that—to get drunk and whine to the ladies. Well, in my opinion, he could have avoided all that heartbreak if he’d told the woman how he felt. Clearly, unequivocally, so that she knew where they stood. It was the least he could have done!”

Everything came out in a torrent. She felt like she’d said it all in one breath. It was strange, she thought, to hear so many words come out of her own mouth. She was mystified. Jinshi was no less startled, but the shock soon left his face, replaced by something else. He got up off the bed and stared down at Maomao.

Shit. Now I’ve done it. She’d given him a piece of her mind, and he was about to give her one back.

“So I should be clear, should I? Unequivocal? I should say what I mean? If I did, would you actually listen to me? Is that what you’re telling me? I’m going to hold you to that! Right this minute. I’ll say it all. Don’t plug your ears—listen to me!” He grabbed her hands as she was in the process of trying to put her fingers in her ears. He took a breath. He was looking at Maomao, but somehow he seemed almost embarrassed. Finally he managed, “Now listen to me, y—I mean, Maomao! Listen close! I am going to make you my wife!”

It's one heck of a chapter and I suggest you give it a go! The title of the chapter says "A man and a woman play the game" as if to emphasize the very fact that both Jinshi and MaoMao are playing the game.

Jinshi has never confessed his true feelings before this chapter and only implied that he wanted to make MaoMao his wife.

The implications were heavy though on Jinshi's part, and as smart as MaoMao is, anyone would have guessed that MaoMao was one of the candidates for Jinshi's consort. Even the clothes she received (the ones she wore to the banquet) were also provided by Jinshi along with the hairpin. It is never stated outright but seeing as the hairpin was from Jinshi, the clothes are also implied to be the same.

More or less she's always deliberately ignoring the possibility of having anything to do with him, that is more than professional. Some may call it denial, I call it dense. Maybe, to some extent, she herself is not aware of her feelings because she never lets herself feel anything.

Even Suiren pointed it out pretty early in the manga, that maybe it's MaoMao's way of being reserved. We need to keep in mind that MaoMao is an unreliable narrator and it's more of what she does, rather than what she says that makes a difference.

Even in the chapter that I have quoted above, she had every reason to leave Jinshi, she wasn't working for him after all. But she stayed to make tea for him, even after the fact that she had a long day too. She was almost just as exhausted as Jinshi and yet she was there preparing medicinal tea, so that he could get a better sleep.

Maybe she herself is yet to realise just how deep her feelings run. Till vol 12 she seems to have accepted them, but she still is yet to acknowledge their depth. Maybe it's because of her childhood.

It's not a traumatic backstory but MaoMao had a sad childhood nonetheless....

She was raised by her grand uncle and her real father was eccentric, who scared her. Her mother must also appear to be kind of demonic to her, since she was desperate enough to cut MaoMao's Pinky finger and send it to Lahan. So it's safe to say that MaoMao never received proper parental affection. And adding to the fact that, a brothel is not exactly an ideal place for raising a child.... especially when the birth of MaoMao was the one thing that brought the brothel to its knees...even if being born wasn't her choice.

Plus MaoMao stated it herself that when she was a baby, no one would come to sooth her until their work was finished, implying that even if MaoMao and her brothel sisters are close, they are not that close. A mother's love is different and she never received it. No one can love you more than your mother and MaoMao was deprived of that. She soon realised that no one was coming. Life is hard and she has no choice but to face it!

So, she got interested in poison.

Maybe she doesn't love herself or her life as much as she says / pretends she does. She's always like "yeah, I would very much like my head to be with my body" and "if I stay low profile maybe I can survive here" etc but maybe deep down that's not the case. Maybe that's why she loves poison so much. The implications are crazy.

And to break MaoMao's shell, Jinshi has no choice but to be a bit more forceful at times? At least that's how I interpret that choking scene. Jinshi was angry at MaoMao because she deliberately suggested him to marry consort Rishu and danced with Rikuson.

Even if Jinshi never said it outright, he was giving hints the entire time.

But well the tables turned and MaoMao topped him instead, lol (vol 7) and later we even see that our little stray cat has accepted Jinshi and she's ready to be in a relationship with him (vol 12).

Plus she is intrigued by the process of birth (she wants to eat her baby's placenta, it's kind of uggghhh.... but anyways, that MaoMao we're talking about, she's just weird that way)

Maybe not after too long she'll realise that if she has to give birth, she can only have it with Jinshi and no one else.

TGED Novel Comparison

Look, I like the Webtoon adaptation with all its humor or exaggerated meme expression, but I love the details in the novel even more. Like, this part where we get to see Javier's devotion to protect Lloyd:

Like, he's so down and ready to go take the elves life to safe Lloyd 😭 The utter concern and worry from Javier side described in the novel is just * chef kiss * There's so much moments of heartfelt and tenderness that got skipped in the Webtoon (like the baron dad going on a makeshift picnic with his son), though understandable. Honestly, the vibe between the novel and webtoon are pretty different, how Lloyd does things changed a bit but both medium are enjoyable!
