i dunno but im genuinely bothered by the 'we're both at fault' thing because like, almost all the bad decisions that hajin made were all directly/indirectly a result of hangyum's dumbassery. between the lying, the constant overreactions, the scheming, nd the noncon, hangyum as he is wasn't all that much of an upgrade from jaehee tbh. like hangyum got plot armored so hard.

Yeah, Karyan got shafted in the novel too, and the ending is more or less the same, but less rushed. I'm a bit mad that the manhwa didn't show something, which is that the ones that have bad endings is Ilya "Deferius" route.
Which means that the moment Ilya chose to abandon his royal status, he's no longer "Ilya Deferius" but just "Ilya" who will live happily with Jerry
there are a few iffy moments but the overall experience is amazing. they all deserve their happy ending after fighting for it so hard
