Ngl, when i first read i was hoping for both of them to go on adventure or smthg and things happened outside of the continent-
Well, i feel like Arien isn't Arien anymore tho, things turned out fine so yuh. I dislike the romance plot but ain't against it.
Smone mentioned her being a pick me girl but she ain't faking feeling empathy for others. Pick me girl does by trying to win ppl over.
About the romance plot, i feel fine cuz like their goals since the early chaps are about trying to find happiness. It does feel rushed but fine, ok.
