the pacing is lowkey trash so far

listen i understand the idea. i see the concept. the FMC has gone mad as a result of all the shit she went through, which is a valid response to the trauma.. the MMC swooping in and being like “:) let’s help each other. i wanna be king. you want revenge.” but this poor girl is still skin and bones and is SEVERELY shaken up. there’s no one at the manor who pulled the FMC aside and was like “hey pookie, i know you want revenge but you need to be healthy first-“ it’s just speedrunning the plot. who cares if her body holds up? clearly the MMC doesn’t. she is a tool. the FMC is like “we can use eachother” but there are no fair terms to this deal. she is not his equal, they both know that. without him she’d be sent back to the house that abused her doomed to die a tragic death because women in this world seemingly don’t have rights, and without her the MMC would only have to hold off on usurping the thrown for a little bit longer. see how those aren’t equal? lol.
ALSO HE CHOKED HER?? “we’re testing what power you have” BULLSHIT. tEmPtAtIoN my ass. #-.-)

    XDDDDD It's a good summary of the story. I will keep it next to my heart.
    And yesh, plot is rushed without much detail about how much time has passes to be so decent to be in public again.
