I see where you’re coming from, but as of now he’s not the “cold duke” because he doesn’t even remember who he is. He only holds that subtle part of his cold nature, other than that he’s completely oblivious on how to treat people. Like, he doesn’t even remember how to read. He also probably felt attraction towards her since no one had treated him well, therefore he never felt affection, so learning this feeling probably made him more in need of her due to his terrible upbringing (even though he doesn’t remember his past doesn’t mean his mental state is all good, like he doesn’t understand what pain is, probably because of the torture he went through)
And it may feel like 3 days but from the amount of times they’ve slept and all, I’m pretty sure it’s at least a few months of them being together. Although the manhwa could have very well glossed over that which I don’t think is a big issue honestly.
Overall I don’t think this comic is that bad, and I feel like ur also glossing over the details, but like it’s definitely not the best one and there are better ones! Either way I just wanted to share my opinion about it, sorry it was so long
I’m trying really hard to like this because of the beautiful art and unique story premise but the pacing is so bad ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ The details and exposition are glossed over extremely quickly. There’s no time to get to know the characters and form connections before they suddenly start progressing at lightening speed. Here is a reminder that we are LESS than 20 chapters in and the male lead has already gotten extremely attached to the female lead for no foreseeable reason other than proximity. You’d think a duke who’s main characteristic was being cold, cruel and aloof would be more resistant to liking her. It doesn’t feel special when they have cute “couple moments” because it feels like they’ve known each other for only 3 days. I hope the artist, draws for more comics because i truly believe the art is carrying the entire reading experience on its back. This story is similar to low quality manhuas I’ve read in the past. If ya’ll read a lot of manhwa and manhua you KNOW what I’m talking about (≧∀≦)
