I could not, for the life of me get over how the ML brushed over the prior fiancé’s assault after the FL mentioned it and he doesn’t react until the FL mentions it almost happened again. It seems like the only person who really cared was the FL, and even she saw how fucked it was that she mentioned in the one chapter how “if only she had that one person by her side” and it’s his shadow because SHE KNOWS how fucked it was that he wasn’t there for the prior fiancé.
And I know that the FL is head strong, I get it, but she got over her own assault very quickly. I’m not saying it’s not possible, hell it very much is, but the entire scene with the prince up until the after was just poorly done.
It was there for the story sure, but it wasn’t there for plot progression. Overall just done distastefully.
It seems like this also became a major turning point for how the treat the mystery now. The FL who gave it a lens of empathy and care now doesn’t anymore, it feels cold and more rushed. Truly a shame since up until the point the FL had been doing so well with holding The way the fiancé had been treated with such a delicate glove.
