The webtoon did a a very bad job in setting this up as a fluffy romance from the very first chapter.
The novel already emphasized how tragic the story is so novel readers have been desensitized at this point.
If anything, the story is really great. I regret that you're leaving without finishing the story but it's okay. Stories don't have to appeal to everyone.
Yes if I've known it would end up like this I would've stopped right away. It really was misleading with how it emphasized Julius' feelings for Pauliana but then we ended up with a harem without the FL in it. I know they will get a happy ending but as I've read some spoilers, it will start with drunk s*x and FL will end up being pregnant. Not my cup of tea really.
yeah,, it's tragic for Poliana. She's actually under so much pressure and anxiety right now. Everybody is telling her to get married but she doesn't want to. She's saying that why should she marry someone she didn't love, why was her life being destroyed by a baby and why did she make such a mistake that solidified the rumors that she was a seductress that's why she got her position.
I feel bad for Poliana, really.
But the silver-lining to this is that Lucius made A LOT of efforts to make her believe that she loved him. He doesn't hide his emotions anymore. In fact, he's so public about it that it makes Poliana blush and she gets so embarrassed about all he's doing.
Plus, he changes the laws. He's making a better empire for her and for all the women in the empire.
Aight. That's it. I'm dropping this. I'm sorry but I didn't sign up for the male lead sleeping with multiple women. Harem is a no no for me. I got hooked with fluff and comedy during the first part of the story but I only have regrets now. Thanks for the ride but I have to get off from here.
