NOOO HE'S THE LEAD?? NOOOOOO PLEASE I HATE HIM
I mean, I’m gonna assume he is .
I haven’t read the novel (if there is one) but he’s basically set up to be the ml here. I don’t like him either
I like mcs relationship with the 2 mages + her escort the most in this story. probably cuz she’s the most relaxed with them, so I got fond of it. They all genuinely care for mc and make mc aware of it, enough where she has her own confidence/family ideas.
With the dad, mc doesn’t really view him as one. Despite how the readers view him, he’s really just a guy to her. Not a dad with a close bond, or the father that stepped up… he’s just someone that spared her life. Yes, he does do stuff behind the scenes, but how would the mc know that. And given her past treatment + future knowledge, what’s she supposed to think after finding everything out?? If u threaten + shun someone out for so long, u can’t expect them to immediately accept u, especially an abused/neglected child.
There’s the saying that “everyone deserves a second chance,” but that really only works if the victims/circumstances allow it. Like, no shit it’ll probably happen later on in the story, that’s how a lot of these stories end up. I just think the author handled the dad’s whole situation poorly, both the problem and solution.
And the crown prince… I just think of him being “there.” You could tell the direction of the story with his first appearance. Lowk, I thought he was creepy for his first few scenes. And afterwards, I just thought “ah… he’s back again…” every time he reappeared. I know he’s the lead, but I just never felt good lead energy in this story LOL
