I think i started to read this story with a certain bias in mind, which is why i didn’t hate it as much. I knew his character was going to be on the redder side as that’s how he was introduced and I continued reading this story to see how his change would occur. There’s another character who’s similar to him that went from arrogant to yearner, so when it comes to his development, i think it was pretty well done. It would have been weird if he’d completely changed because- that’s just throwing his personality out of the window. What I loved was how Chloe complimented his personality though. There’s a comment towards the top that states Chloe is weak and I personally can’t see it, she seems like a strong fl to me. She didn’t back down, she thought things through, and even was trusted to act by Damien when he’d been captured. If she was truly weak, she would have left on the train as was his original plan, but she took ahold of the situation and got information that helped locate her husband. In isekai stories they talk about how they find themselves in dark plot lined stories, and this is a story that reminds me of it, the only difference being this is through and through a romance with the politics being a subplot which we don’t really need to pay attention to- which feels like a first honestly. (Or to be more accurate, a first where it’s done properly). Anyways, I feel like those who like twisted MLs should give this story a chance. Because I only had two thoughts for this guy: either he changes a little or he doesn’t change at all. (Also the yearning arc is split into 2 parts, the 3 years he planned on how to approach a marriage with her and the year she ran away. I thought that was a decent amount, especially with the pacing of the story, we might not have seen every little thing, but he still dealt with being away from Chloe for a year, kudos to him lol.)
