I love stories with a redemption arc but I cried so many times reading this. The ML is definitely a victim but seeing the mistreatment, neglect, isolation the FL went through is just awful. Throughout her time in the castle she truly had no one who loved or cared for her. And seeing the ML objectify and dehumanise her just wrecked me completely. I feel like I would’ve enjoyed this more had the redemption arc began earlier and the suffering wasnt so prolonged. 130 chapters for a grain of empathy from the ML was too much for a softie like me TT
