Like ... I get why Lael is the ML and up to now he's been wonderful to the FL, but it's just shallow idk. It's weird that we don't get any compelling explanation on how FL starts to see Lael as a potential partner and not the young aristocrat she used to serve. Nor do we get a good look at ML's attachment feelings, he just kinda meets her after years and falls in love with her for her talent? or because of familiarity? Idk, I'm just guessing here.
There's no real emotional bond that would make me root for the ML over the king, for instance. At least he seemed quirky and self aware. Label seems one-dimensional, flat.
It's a shame, because the manga is pretty, but the interesting premise is not explored enough and the romance feels rushed, which doesn't happen with even lower quality comics.
Everything feels rushed, can't help but wonder if they cut a ton from the novel is was based off (if such is the case).
