Ive read some spoilers a while back and the fl quickly forgives the ml and quickly runs back into his arms after he finds her. It left many novel readers unsatisfied with how much of a pushover the fl was. Also the ml didnt apologize to the fl at all.
most so-called dark romance novels/webtoons just put rape in the stories and physical abuse then call it dark romance. now THIS this is an actually crazy psycho ml who is also a compelling character.
Idk how to explain but thats the vibe
