I asked for angst recommendations nd someone suggested this. So here I was expecting a story w ur normal angsty trope that later resolves the shit nd we get a happy ending. but not even half way thru the story, I was like bruh no way there'll be a redemption arc. Hating on the ml was a given, but smhw midway thru i literally lost all emotions towards that guy, he's just that distasteful. The fl turning mad and then ml too actually seemed so valid. That poisoning scene towards the end actually just probed into how broken both of them turned. This is actually how a broken character looks like. Also appreciate ml not getting forgiven.
Plot is 7.5/10. Each new character in the story successfully got added to my headache.
About the execution of the plot 3/10. I hoped they explained a bit more of the parts involving the supporting characters. Barely connected w Sergey who was such a major plot point, I couldn't even form a opinion on him nd he was already killed. Same w the baroness arc, she just forgot Abt her vengeance? Like?? Also emphasis around incident like the death of the emperor nd count seemed undermined. Weren't those two the creator of this entire shithole?
Abt the ending, it's accurate and exactly what was coming. I will just pretend the part having ml getting to redo everything is just a dream or perhaps it actually is.
lol, whys bro so smug. I thought he'd do better after they start dating but he's just as nonchalant. Kinda hoped the 2nd ml was the endgame but it's alr ig
