I hate this. The characters are pieces of work and I do not condone anything that happens in this. But damn it, it’s well written, the conversations feel intelligent, the art is beautiful, and the characters are very dimensional- at least in my uneducated opinion. I just want everyone to be happy. But this one makes it so hard. And apparently I’m here for it.
The best drama fantasy. Every character is so well written, the pace and how the story slowly process is just so on point. I keep my subscription mainly for this story on manta. Wish there was a way to purchase it for ever.
this is 100% toxic abusive romance But it is also romance. the art is gorgeous and the characters' personalities are fascinating, hence why i'm here. honestly when you peel away the layers it's cute straightforward misunderstanding romance but uh. there are so many layers. anyway art MVP.
It's a description of a manipulative, destructing man liking to torment the woman he "likes" in his sick head. And the FL being unable to do anything, as the story is based in a nobility world where woman cannot do anything but smile.
Whew, booooy, toxic ML alert! Nuclear waste, radioactive, toxic ML alert!
Holy crap I can't get past ML's
