Same pls drop some recs

Grace will manage to escape. He’ll go to Grace’s brother and discover the truth, both from him and from Grace’s mother’s diaries: she had nothing to do with her father’s murder, and the rebels had been using her all along. She was a victim, just like he was.
He’ll start feeling terrible guilt over the way he treated her, and at some point he’ll start having horrific nightmares as the birth approaches. He’ll keep searching for her like a madman. At one point, he’ll almost catch her, but she’ll manage to escape again.
All of this goes on for almost three years. He ends up on the verge of losing his mind.

*his father's murder

that counts as suffering?

In the novel, he suffers so much that he ends up wishing he were dead. The thing is, he was a monster to her because he believed she deserved it, which is exactly what the rebels did to people like him. They both come to realize that they made the same mistakes. Obviously, we have to keep in mind that this is a work of fiction

unfortunately her running away and him crying his ass out is not concider revenge compared to what he did to her. So yeah he deserves being tortured same way he treated her .

yesss so good

My problem is that his guilt came from knowing she was also a victim, not that his actions are inherently psychotic

But you're right tho, it's a work of fiction THANKFULLY

This! So if she "wasn't a victim" he wouldn't have felt bad?
He would've felt justified if it weren't for him finding out about her past, which doesnt feel like a redemption to me, he's a smug POS

You’ll discover that Grace and Leon are actually very similar. Grace herself realizes it. She won’t hesitate to send all the rebels she grew up with to their deaths, including the children who will be sent to orphanages, and she’ll continue hunting them down. They both grew up broken, and somehow, they found each other

Hate when yall say a rapist and a victim is similar not at all!!!!! Well idk it’s annoying when stories like this tries to make us understand Leon or I guess the monster of the overall story. No matter what the monster is Leon. No one else. I know it’s fiction but holy shit this is just sad.

That's the point of the author trying to manipulate the reader to sympathize with the rapist when he really chooses to be like this and follow in his father's footsteps by running a rape camp one of them lol.There is not way this shit would work on me :)

Thankfully, most people know how to separate fiction from reality. I love Hannibal Lecter, but I can assure you that I don't have hybristophilia in real life (⌒▽⌒)

Blackpanther There was no need to block me lol

Wow!
I also pointed this out on NU forum after reading the novel. "Sending people to camps because of lover's quarrel (REVENGE!!!) = strong heroine"
So all my pity and compassion goes to the common people. Who weren't strong enough to lock 2 psychos in the basement and throw away the key X)

Well, Grace wasn't wrong to hate all the rebels, because they'd always treated her badly, not just her but her mother and brother, too. But yeah, she has absolutely no qualms about sending every last one of them to their deaths ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

Sarcasm sign + spoilers + discussion for fun


I perceived it as cheap manipulation by the author "everyone is bad and doesn't love the heroine" - playing the pity card, "the whole world is against me " syndrome.
Like literally everyone was mistreating her? Every man,woman and child?
1. If honey traps are the most popular rebels weapon there are a lot of children like Grace.
2. If everyone truly hated her she wouldn't have made it to 18 + no one would be willing to participate in missions with her,regardless of her leaders parents or orders.


How often did the protagonist remember her brother? Poor bro who left the evil organization without any consequences and was captured with his family by a hysterical rapist for safety reasons...meh =)

i really like the story but i agree it is pretty slow, and it will continue to be, but at least it will start to feel like their relationship is developing. iirc you still have quite a few chapters until the "isidor is secretly the guildmaster" deal is resolved, though. i like slowburns but i get how waiting for chapters can get annoying, so if you want, i'd recommend reading the novel instead, because we're not even halfway through the story.

yea it is very slow burn especially since the main plot doesn’t really require her being in a relationship to progress along, so they just fully focused on business and reputation and whatnot, so it kinda feels like they’re finally catching up with the romance
