It's No Use Hanging On
The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass
so, I actually binge read the novel and I have no regrets. Aria (FL) is *chef's kiss* and I love that characters other than ML are likeable (her tutor, her mother, folks from her father's side etc). My heart still aches for Oscar, because I favored him a little bit more than Ash but I totally understand his character set-up and I truly admire how the author built it. Although he was gentle and had feelings for Aria, he did not stand up for what he wanted but that was resonable considering all his life was arranged by his family. He didn't know how to walk by his own legs. BUT OK, ASH AND ARIA MAKE A DYNAMIC DUO. F*CKING LOVED HIS PROPOSAL AND HE TREATS HER WELL, SO I CAN'T TURN A BLIND EYE. I STAND A WHIPPED MAN.
