But I'd ship mc with Hamir, their dynamic doesn't come off as too much of a im interested in you because someone else is, I feel like their personalities would fit in the way the author tries to make it seem with ml(im talking about how hamir could make it work out on his end as a better ml, not necessarily that mc herself is a good fl for the romance), because I feel like the main couple is just mainly forced to be in circumstances and it just comes off as that cliche shoujo "wait do i like them", when i as a reader have to be like, where tf in yall interactions did i see the mushy gushy in a flow? I feel if it was just those too Hamir would fall first then mc. Just my opinion, cuz honestly I actually don't Read this for the romance, cuz there's fucking none.
I glad it isn't just me thinking it cuz I said way back that ambers reason from the interview (/flashbacks of her)for pursuing platinum is a bit selfish if not mental, so yeah, glad it isn't just me.
