dropping ch 17 bc the ml is super shitty and unlikable and the mc was cool in the beginning but took a sharp downward turn after meeting him in the capitol
hmmmm why does this keep happening…. good stories with sudden rushed ending that leaves lots of unanswered questions…..
huh???? it just ended like that??? wow what horrible pacing….. gives you no satisfaction… and nothing really happened to the crown princess either?? she just lost some assets and is a little lower ranked?? how did she switch from being so weird and twisted to quiet and remorseful so quickly….. lame….
i think it’s fine and it makes sense for the MC to be like this. She’s lived a whole lifetime stressed and anxious trying not to make any mistakes and stifling her own feelings for the sake of the novel, where she was clearly being treated like shit for most of it as well. This isn’t really something you can immediately move past and grow from.
She’s had no real stability for years and has been living in survival mode that entire time. But from ch. 43 we can see maybe she’s finally starting to change now that she has a safe place with Xion.
