Their romance is so fucking boring horrible/10. I barely got two chapters without him and their feelings starting when he was a kid and she was mentally an adult icked me out and now after 5 years he acts like he hasn’t been ignoring her and she just fucking blush and lets him get away with it no this manhwa does NOT deserve 9.4 it's a 9.2 at best. Everything is good except the romance that is fucking awful
I think the romance is still not the main plot on this part of the story so that's very understandable. She's more focused on building her reputation and influence rather than the romance for now. In my opinion, this is more of a slowburn (at least on mia's side). Though I feel like the more recent chapters are gearing up toward the romance part. They just made a big reveal in the latest chapters (the spoiler of the other person included but that's not all). So you might want to hold your judgment regarding the romance until they reach the story's peak ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ but then again, you do you, this might not simply be your cup of tea. (=・ω・=)

I don't like the ML. He abandonned her to get kidnapped and tried to mind control her, he is trash. 'Oh but he'll grow to love her!' It's the way idgaf. Loving the fl is the bare minimum as a ml candidate he is not special 'overpowered heartless bastard who is only good to fl' oh wow how unusual like I can't count ten others who are less trash.
