i hate hate HATE stories that depend on how much a woman can suffer just to reap shitty ass rewards like this pos male lead. “he’s complex, he has a curse, he deeply loves her” or whatever im sorry but none of that matters if her life goes from shitty to shitter with him in it? he’s so nothing burger that his own complex issues and feelings and depth of love for her feel unwarranted when it’s done jack shit for her? he’s unmoving as a romantic partner and it feels like he regrets more than he actually takes responsibility for her. all he’s got are stale looks, emotions, and she was able to fall in love with that like what !? someone who was barely a protector and advocate for her wellbeing and safety like nooo baby let’s introduce you to someone with facial expressions and can move against the tide
im all for historical male leads who are constricted by a curse, their bloodline, or a contract but in turn they must make up for all the horrible things that his lack of action make up for like ??? so what if he places her deep in his heart, anybody can do that he’s not special. kill this man off bruh
