including the duke? he sucks because?
he only starts to chase after her after she breaks it off. it's like saying she is only desirable to him when she doesn't want him. I find it not the most pleasant.
but OG ariel wasn't exactly giving off a good impression either, with her blackmailing him. And we don't even know how she acted when they were still in a "relationship". So is it not a bit unfair to judge him from the get-go just because he couldn't love our FL when she was still slightly villainous/manipulative?
yes but then she broke it off something they both desired but he still decided to pursue her even though it was against her wishes that she expressed multiple times.
I also noticed there's no romance tag so is there even a male lead at all?
is Raphael the flower shopkeeper the male lead? cause all the other guys seem to suck
