I agree it is lovely, but he seems pretty hell bent on making things go his way. That's why he is a yellowish flag. Picture her not being so ...benevolent in his regards, or so accommodating to his requests (sexually, freedom of movement, sudden marriage). How would he react? Would HE be accommodating - considering his behaviour? Would the plot still be still so lovely?
My answer: I definitely hope so, but I'm not so sure.
Being self-assured and relentless are definitely his charms (considering the time passing he had to endure), but didn't that also made him a bit obsessive?
just to make it clear, I like the story and the ml over all, but I kinda had to turn my brain off not to consider the narrative elements hinting to what I wrote above
I was ready to turn my brain off and do a quick read of some typical smut and didnt expect to find such a gem! I love how they tackled the age gap issue and I especially loved MLs character development!
