Your right in every aspect, I dont care if he's manipulative tho as long as their both happy ╮(￣▽￣)╭
yES THIS!!! plus i know that the people complaining about her being soft have NOT been transmigrated before and would probably also be confused and be crying :) shes still living so idk man if she was a strong FL she would've been killed off by ML
Okay, my babe is a crybaby— but Aseph is a VILLAIN at heart. What attracted him to her was her naivety, her tendency to cry for him easily, her empathy. If she were cunning or manipulative or like any other isekai heroine, she would most likely get killed by him. Its why he likes her, as compared to her sister, who is boisterous and commanding.
To him, he is a wolf and she is a lamb and that's the way he likes it. He can play on her emotions of pity and uncertainty, and he can use them to chain her to him (as he did when he stabbed the horse), and he LIKES that she doesn't notice it and that she holds him in such high regard because of her naivety. That's probably why Zay was chosen to go back in the first place.
...is it healthy? Probably not, but she is where she wants to be and she knows exactly the kind of person he is and he has yet to harm her or any one else (except for their feelings).
Anyway, thanks for coming to my tedtalk.
