It was a big red flag that the ML would try to torture the ‘stable boy’ just so that the FL stayed with him. I hate that literally no one in the castle can look past their delusions to realize that there is no way that their strong and capable duchess would be tricked to leave and that it was clearly her choice to leave. I wouldn’t stand for it.
I feel like this artist has played Twst and decided to use their favorite characters to make this, which is a little weird because in TWST all the characters are minors…. Because that’s Malleus and that other dude is Jade fs
They’re characters in a dating sim, no real life minor looks or acts even remotely like that. If it bothers you, age them up by 10 years in your head and call it a day.
I loved the entire story but it felt like some parts were completely undeveloped almost as if someone’s was trying to take like a novel and make it into a Manhwa but didn’t have time to flesh out all the important parts of the story. Here’s the main ones for me:
**SPOILERS**
1. At the beginning we see that guy who trained the FL and it seemed really weird that he sealed her memories. The woman who trained the FL was also weird and we never get an explanation for why her memories were sealed and why the ML was somehow able to help fix it.
2. The priestess that died and the ML felt it was his fault??? What was their relationship and what actually happened to her? It felt really weird
3. Why was that guy doing it? Why was he trying to kill the ML and why did he even do that terrible thing to his wife? There’s no motivation given and there’s really no hints or foreshadowing to say that it was him.
4. Why were the emperor and empress so like out of the loop for this entire thing and why are they passing off all these huge burdens onto their young adult children? The only actual seasoned adult around turned out to be the bad guy.,
5. SANA AND LANA’S SISTER???? I totally thought that it would turn out to be the FL or something the way they were talking about it in the beginning. They just had that plot and put it there so obviously and then did nothing with it. And again, on the subject of the twins we don’t learn about Sana’s Teru like AT ALL. There’s just one scene with it. Also, why does no one care that the FL is some lowborn person but they care that the twins are???
6. Was anyone else confused about the ‘ban’?? Like I thought that ban between the continents just meant that you couldn’t use magic on one side and you could on the other. But then the ML was like ‘oh I can’t tell her because of the ban’ ?????? What was that??
7. What was the attendants eyeglass supposed to be? A magical recording device or something? Super unclear. And how did he suddenly heal? Did the FL’s Teru do something. But then, why wouldn’t she have done it way before to help the attendant from freaking DYING??
Yeah so anyway there’s still a lot more but like overall the story was amazing. Just hoped that they could have fleshed out those pars a little more. This felt like it should have been like 150 chapters, not 100.
