Raising the Princess to Overcome Death Chapter 59 Discussion

I gave it a 5 star rating because for what the novel seems to be aiming to do, it does it incredibly well. The world the times are set in is fascinating, and most of the time I enjoyed the MC's story.

But I have more personal qualms.

For what I've read so far, the story is, for a lot of the time, uncomfortable with darker tones. As I read the story I felt a growing sense that Minseol, the MC, is alone.

He of course wants Lena to be happy, but in achieving his own happiness and escaping his own unfairly given imprisonment, he is alone.

Additionally as the story progresses, you increasingly feel as though Minseol is slowly be suffocated and snuffed out.

Spoiler

even Leo, the alter personality, wishes for Minseol to dissappear on multiple occasions.

I felt as though I was watching a man slowly but surely drown. It's uncomfortable.

Spoiler

it doesn't help that for Minseol to win, Lena seems to need to marry a prince. Leo will lose.

There are many happy, satisfying endings. All are deemed "failures"
