An alright story written by a seemingly inexperienced author. I can see where they were trying to go with it, and it's a good story idea, the execution is just flawed.

The characters were all bland, and the story was rushed where it shouldn't have been, and slow in the most annoying of ways. For example, the characters just randomly fell in love, mc randomly changed her mind and resolve to be queen. I understand why, but like the author spent too little time developing her relationship with the previous queen that her love and understanding of her just feels forced?

I wish the author took more time developing relationships and emotions in it. They could have delved further into their childhoods to bring us a better understanding on why the prince and mc were traumatized. I feel like they just told us they were mistreated, and just left it at that, didn't really give us the chance to get to know any of the characters.

But, it's okay I guess. It was a pretty quick read and if you're an isekai hoe like me, it's enough to binge read. I didn't get absolutely tired of it until chapter 78, that's when it really became insufferable

Came back to re read this, and I used to ship them, and still do.

At the end of the day, both of them were horrible people, and they deserved to be punished, but not in the way they were. A mental facility would have been best.

Songwoo, for starters. He went through a lot, and at such a young age. He was delt a horrible hand, and had no way to cope with it. He then began venting these bottled emotions onto random people and murdering them(not that I condone this, just that he could have been helped) then, bum showed up, he abused bum, he raped bum, and tortured him, but does everyone forget how bum changed him? He became better, all he needed was one extra push into therapy, and he could have lived a normal life and understood the issues with his and his abusers behaviors. However, his paranoia got the best of him. This is why I feel bad for him, he had his hope, but his mental health got the best of him and led him down the road to insanity and inevitably his death.

Bum on the other hand, while he was a stalker, stalking is not in any way a reasonable cause for the abuse sungwoo put him through. And this clearly fucled his mind up, leading to him murdering and also lowkey going insane. He had a horrible childhood similarly, but his stalker mindset was his downfall

However I do believe they both really loved eachother, and made eachother better. I just wish they could have had a normal healthy relationship with communication and understanding in eachother. This story is really tragic, and I wish some people could understand that this is what a lot of people are going through. It never makes it okay to murder or harm another, but some people really just need help before they reach that point where they become a danger to themselves or others.
