That was some pretty decent worldbuilding and sure, romance and true love won at the end, yay!! But, didn't the bad guys win when we look at the plot? The eldest prince made people go through bullshit missions that ruin their lifestyles whereas the second prince got fucking burned and is simply taking revenge due to that. Both of them made people do fucked up shit now that I think of it but idk it didn't really feel like wow great the evil is defeated and all is good. Surya seems kinda valid, who knows what their actual political views were, it prolly was based asf and focused on the people's wellbeing esp when we can see that the second prince was into actually knowing the ground reality of his vassals and improving that.

why do authors find it so hard to create an interesting story with characters that are not fucked up. just why. This was going well but now andrew's slowly being shown to be a freak, I can't do this. Having characters that are just plain ol good doesn't mean it'll be boring, you can still make it fun! whyyyy must it go in this direction

sure, but it wasn't THIS fucked ever. All he did was crash out pretty hard because he thought someone was stalking him again and fall in love and get attached wayy too quick. Those are all pretty normal reactions for a severely traumatized person so the story could've totally gone in the we're dealing with this shit seriously and gonna take him on a slow healing path while some plot happens kinda direction. Which was what I was expecting to happen, to see it go in the psycho direction is unexpected and I'm allowed to be taken aback.

He was a red flag in that he got attached too fast and as kinda obsessive, those are shit that can be observed in real life as well and didn't go to the extent of 'this kinda psycho can only ever be appealing in manhwa' type behavior yet. The plot was plotting and the chemistry was chemistrying so to expect the manhwa to take him on a healing journey or smth was totally in the lines of expectation. I think it's reasonable to be surprised when it suddenly takes a sharp turn this way.

he's not a freak cuz he's got issues, I said that cuz the dude stabbed his own hand to get attention. Like yes, he is traumatized and he deserves therapy and needs to get better and he has my empathy for that; but, taking a step back, forgetting the pretty art, this type of behavior is legit dangerous and isn't a 'oh, I know you're struggling and I'll be with you every step of the way' kinda issue, this became a 'oh shit, he needs to fucking run RIGHT NOW' kinda issue. I was expecting the manhwa to go in the first direction and to see it become the 2nd was surprising and disappointing.

woah woah woah! This is cool!!! So much proper plot with just the tiniest inklings of romance, always love that! Can't wait to learn more about the secrets of this world. I'm certain that the sword MC woke up with is meltier's and that's so interesting!! Makes me think he decided to betray people for the sake of MC's in some roundabout way or something.

zed's outburst is very very realistic and I like the inclusion of it in this manhwa. That being said, this is the problem with dating most straight dudes, they spew out insufferable bullshit that's so deeply ingrained in them that you can't even have a rational debate.

Yes, this argument felt very real. Both sides made good points. And honestly if zed can't deal with it then breaking up is the right call. But she can't expect him to understand when he doesn't have all the facts. And if she can't trust him with her deepest secret then she can't be mad if he leaves. Great writing.
WHEN I SAY I WANT COLLABORATION THIS IS WHAT I MEAN!!! In so many fuckin stories they put so much focus on him protecting her that it really doesn't feel like she has any agency both in world as a character and narratively looking from a meta perspective, WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HER GODDAMN STORY AND SHE'S THE MC AND HE'S JUST THE ML!! Here so far it's so fucking great, I love it, she takes charge when she has to and gets her moments to shine it's awesome. They both get each other both through communicating and through really observing each other, his pov chapters were actually so awesome. I won't get excited too fast cuz I can never predict when a manhwa will disappoint me but this has been so good so far and a delight every week.
Yeeeess!! Exactly!
Argh, I love them both so much!!
He makes it clear that he's got her back and supports her, but never steals the spotlight or takes away her agency!
