Although I'm glad I finished it, the story definitely lags at certain intervals. It took me way longer to get through 100 chaps than it takes me with other manwha's/webcomics. I liked the main couple and their dynamic just fine despite it being very cliche, you really can find a relationship like theirs in countless other stories like this. The ML did start turning me off towards the end though when he started getting so obsessive and possessive. Personally, having the ML think to himself all the time that he's successfully got her trapped so she can never leave him isn't attractive.

And as for Phan, whose character design is so similar to the ML's that I was waiting like 30 chaps for it to have some plot relevance...He kind of felt pointless? Like, I didn't hate that he was there (although he's also as massive unattractive red flag for me) and I liked where his story ended up, but I kinda felt like he had barely any plot relevance? Like, he was just there to third wheel and piss off the ML? Which is a trophe I'd love for us to lay to rest tbh. And okay, sure, saying that he was useless is a bit of a stretch, he did contribute and move the story on, but I felt like his contributions could have been achieved by many other, far more interesting modes than just 'Phan is OP'.

My favourite male character was most definitely Eclipse. He really was the only one who wasn't giving red flags and was kinda just a genuinely nice dude who at the end of the day, cared for his sister. Salme and the Demon King were fun as well, but we unfortunately don't get to see that much of them.

And as for the FL, she's a very common brand of FL we see on repeat on this genre (I'm begging these writers for some variety pls), but I I still enjoyed her overall. I think, if not for the physical limitations put on her by the narrative, she would have been able to achieve far more on her own. Honestly, she did all she could with what little she had. Although a dime a dozen FL, she was still well written and likeable and that's generally more important than originality.
