The Abandoned Empress
It was actually an enjoyable read especially on the father daughter dynamic. Knock a star just cause of personal preference where I'd like the FL to end up with someone else (red flags are my fav). If you seen the spoilers, do consider reading it to the end because I also wanted to drop it when I found out of the ending. The author explained all of it in the end, you just need to bear in mind of timeline and circumstances. We all grow differently based on the people around us, the things we know and the actions we take. It's actually a very deep plot but it was very hard to untangle. The pace of the stories starts slow and steady but at the end, it was very hard to unfold and solve but I thought it was acceptable rather than a super rushed and shortcut ending. Give it a chance!
The Villain's Savior
Almost dropped this story mid-way but thankful I finished it! Didnt like it because of ML was manipulative af eventho he was a victim himself and felt that FL was an idiot BUT as the story progress, there was development and explanation. Don't want to explain further, just read it. it's worth it.
