I read the first chapter then skipped to 19. It honestly was a solid story when read like that. like the ml was a nice guy by that point and the Duke was giving weird vibes.
I started this end of middle school and read it through high school. I dropped it after coming to college. But rereading it to the end reminded me of the feeling of growing up. I honestly feel like I became an adult with these characters. Feels bittersweet. I definitely miss those days.
I NEED SPOILERS!!!
