Definitely not grooming! They’re the same in age if not mistaken? But definitely a desperate attempt to save her own life selfishly through manipulation. Of all male leads, Eckles is the easiest she can access and build up favourability with. To her this world is unfair and just a game out to get her. If you think about it, she was involuntarily brought into a game into its hardest mode where everyone close to her automatically hates her to the max. Eckles is like a blank slate she could build points up fast without previous prejudice. Also, although you are right for questioning her morals, I personally found it really refreshing to have a female lead actually react realistically in a reasonable way. Unlike most other villainess manhwas that have the girl running to the male leads like nothing ever happened, or where the manhwa picks up almost a comedy tone when the introduced past was full of grief! For its time of release, there was one to none serious mc!
So I started reading this yesterday cuz it have a really high rating and I liked it a lot that is until...
Tell me why is our fmc a slave owner
Like is it gonna change or am I overthinking it
No but why is she using that guy for her own selfish reasons
I mean sure he ain't a saint but why does this give grooming vibes or am I really just overthinking it
