krista would have sexually assaulted henry if he wasn't resisting the potion so much. she was doing whatever she could to get henry to marry her and undermine navier's position even after being warned so she was indeed a threat. the rest of the family just snowballed after her
No like I get that. But what I don't like is the way everything was handled after. He KNOWS she'll commit suicide if he sets the right conditions and he wants that ending. He also didn't let her family go and continued to torment them afterwards albeit indirectly. I'm not saying that he's wrong for punishing her but this isn't the only reason why I started disliking him, many novel readers I know also feel icked by Heinry because he acts innocent and babied with Navier but in reality he's a manipulative controlling person. There are some things other characters wouldn't have done had he not triggered things, plus he's also extremely biased with their future kids. He doesn't like his son just because he doesn't look like Navier. Another thing is with Duke Ergi, they colluded so Rashta would continue to fuck up over and over again. Sure Rashta still acted upon them herself but there were a lot of times she was tricked and pushed into doing the wrong things even when some of her 'wrongs' could've been 'rights' had they stopped their relentless manipulation of her and just advised her properly
Don't get me wrong Heinry is a good husband, but he certainly is not a good person.
Also he approached Navier with intentions while she was still a MARRIED WOMAN, and sneaked into her room as a bird to sleep with her. It looked satisfying and romantic before but now its just weird
he definitely isn't a good person, but most romance manhwas these days have male leads with that type of act. manipulative and/or controlling and vengeful towards anyone who messes with them or the female lead so i don't judge him personally and see this more like a common trope of the genre. for sure, he could have handled things a lot better with Krista and her family, but I personally don't see him as particularly much more problematic than those other yandereish male leads...but i understand your point of view
Ok ngl I feel pity for Crista and her family...Like..Ik they made some mistakes but it's not so deep that it warrants this much suffering...Heinry is cruel and crazy and some people may like it but rn I'm starting to dislike him
