PLOT — The plot is giving; it has its own flavor. It's raw and original, and the phasing is tolerable, and character developments are also good; overall it was well-balanced.
CHARACTERS — First, the FL. I love how strong, tough, and calculated the FL is! She knows how to control her rational and emotional sides, and she knows her goals/priorities, and it was nice to see that she is really eager to accomplish them no matter what—which she did! I love her.
As for the ML, the emperor, he was a revelation. Yes, he is a tyrant, but I like how his character develops in every arc and how he has great self-awareness; he knows how twisted he is, but he can manage it well in order to love FL genuinely. He is always trying and doing his best to love her in a better way. I also love how freakish he is, just like the FL. They really matched each other's freaks. I also like how he became the reason why the FL slowly heals and feels human again. He brings out the human and every side of the FL. He is the FL's ANCHOR.
I love how the FL & ML balance each other. They're really suited for each other.
Next, for the EX-blonde guy, well, I appreciated everything he did for the FL, and I felt so bad too for his sufferings, just like what the FL experienced too. I believe he really likes the FL. But everything he did was his choice even though his reason was for FL, but we can't hold it and guilt trip the FL for it. He did it on his own, and I believe that he, the FL, and even the ML are all the same victims of the circumstances. Also I'm happy that the FL didn't and never chose him, because it's not a love that the FL has; it's actually more of pity, guilt, gratefulness, and appreciation only towards him. So it's not actually worth it. So I'm glad that they didn't ended up together. I also find irritating how sad boi he is for so long. It's too dragging and exhausting.
Next, as for the side characters, I hate those Ronans, ew. But I love those allies of the FL & ML, and I like how competent they all are, everyone has played their parts well!
*clapping*
IN CONCLUSION— I love this series. I read this three times, and I can still rank this higher.
