You're just not reading it with the right mind set...
I saw it as a psychological breaking of a trauma filled teen.... yes a teen cause according to the setting she's most likely a teen and suffered all that with 0 support who's being taken advantage of by an eldritch horror creature that thrives on despair with powers and age beyond their imagination that's melting away his incubator's (remember how he was SO focused on having a child... yeah incubator sounds about right) soul to get a perfect holding for his offspring that represents despair... yeah I might've read too much into it but the whole vibe was off and they never portrayed it as love and he admits it.... so yeah no shoujo here by the admittance of the main male lead. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I am reading chapter 9 and very close to dropping this story. The FL is so fucking weak that its getting on my nerves. Typical weak af damsel in distress. I understand she has trauma and all but the fact that she just sits there taking people’s verbal and physical abuse is absurd to me. It would’ve been one thing if she was weak without any support but girl literally has the most powerful dragon backing her up and who’s at her beck and call.
But instead of fighting back, she just acts like a whiny little miserable shit and also stops the ML from doing anything. Its getting so boring at this point. Just reading it is making my blood boil. The only reason i am even bothering continuing to read this story is because of the comments. I really hope the revenge is worth it as the comments say cause this story was a complete waste of time so far.
