i hope he is not the ml cuz he literally killed fl's possible brother? even if fl had a hand in this unknown to the fact I can't possibly think of a way for fl to be together with red eyes and not remember the incident
i mean it'd more interesting to have a down bad psycho, or someone similar to aether and for the red eyes to be the rival/loyal to power family (cuz fl could possibly be a royalty)
Is it only me but I can understand all the reason behind mls action and i constantly see mc viewing his actions from the lens of "All he does is looks down on me " he is the one with low self esteem to clearly speak up. Ml is not mistreating him, he is just trying to not slip because he fears he is going to be like his father/grandpa. Mc is an unreliable narrator I get so confused everytime they converse.
All in all low self esteem people are really hard to love, it's not like you can't love them but it gets hard because they don't value themselves and think the world also don't value them.
Self note: I'm dropping this now because this was an absolutely ridiculous situation and the whole time it's been frustrating.











idk but this just does not feel right.
clearly at first they were not keen on helping fl in such a serious situation now suddenly yada yada fl is acting smarter and sacrificial they're getting impressed like you would of a soldier but just because she is a female it's turned into love interest. so if she were again traumatized and depressed they would be back to square 1 huh? I mean it's like everyone just forgets their wrongs? Why are ml's feelings valid and not fl's. All i see in this is cheap development of love after going through thick and thin where fl has to completely separate her trauma to be saved and loved. This development of love is not my cup of tea it feels nothing but hollow to me.
