This story had me GRIPPED. The beginning can be a little slow but I found Maize to be a compelling character that you want to support and see what happens when she learns the truth that she married the demon king. Then the story beats beginning picking up as you realize the mystery behind everyone’s circumstances and it becomes a real interesting story that you can’t just put down. It becomes *more* than a generic “fake marriage” scenario.
Truthfully, I couldn’t help but think back to Suddenly I became a Crow as both stories have these meta like narratives of beating destiny and being in a happy relationship where the story end with the FMC becomes a temporary divine being that erases the villain. That said, I found this story to be far better than Crow’s. The execution of a lot of Crow’s narrative directions felt flat or ridiculous to me. Ex-soldier is the story that Crow wanted to be.
Of course that’s just my opinion and I know it’s a divisive hot take to make because of how well beloved Crow is for a lot of people. I’m not saying it bad but ex-soldier simply takes the cake for me.
