i genuinely don’t understand why yall put roger in a pedestal when that man also wanted to imprison Crochetta. Have we forgotten that he tried to destroy the ring in front of crochetta to break her down? He is a tragic character, no doubt. But he’s no saint. Implying that he is the least twisted is crazy, the only reason he switched up is because Crochetta is kind and he found out that she wanted to protect him
Lmao, I didn't say that Roger's a saint what I'm saying that he's the one that the fl wants. Personally, I wouldn't want crochetta to end up with any of them but looks like the author won't do that and so Roger would probably be the one she would end up with having the "bare minimum" If you can remember, they actually have a very cliche relationship before the so called "other male leads" squeezed through them and actually made things hard for them and so I think it's quite reasonable if crochetta only wants roger.

BRO i read this i think a couple months back and stopped around ch20. Who forced me to go back to read this dihpressing shit. My lordddddd
Saddest part is i cant even hate the fuckass main villan or the duke bc what do u mean you'll wait until the main character loves you until you turn old and wrinkly fully acknowlegding that the mc is still trying to kill you?
Shall this love never find me.
What do you mean if it comes to the MC's main lover, despite having feelings for her, you would risk it all to see her happy, even if its not with you?
Shall this love never find me.
Broski, this is depressing. At this point, im rooting for all of them. (They all need therapy first tho) #wouldTapRogerToTheKitchenToTheBathroomSinkToEverywhere
