Spoiler Alert!!!!
I don't want to ruin the experience for
you but I just need to say this to people who say Varia ruined the story, WITHOUT Varia, there would be NO Leo. The story wouldn't even exists. I've read the novel, and I can tell you, Varia is a really important character
I don't think it's Varia's fault. I usually dislike adding a romantic entanglement to a perfectly fine story but it was done okay here. I think the story "went down 30%" mostly because Leo suddenly grew up and we were thrown into the og plot quite suddenly then they also added Varia which isn't easy to accept for most of the readers. Like, I wanted to see more of Leo and her father which was what I loved most but now it's not really the main focus anymore.
I like how u got a lot of downvotes lol. Anw, the real story was about Varia and Phileo so you hating on Varia coming in the scene is nonsense. If Varia isn't existing so is the story hahahhaha
It started at 100% when it was just the Duke and Leo but with varia in the picture it went down to a 30% the pace going down the dynamic is not there.
