If this continent had that much rain naturally, then the plants that grew there would be naturally water resistant. And if it really never stops raining, then those plants would also be really sensitive to burning in direct sunlight. The ground would be constantly waterlogged and swampy. And their agricultural system would probably be tree fruit based since trees are a lot more tolerant of excess water. They definitely wouldn't be trying to grow root vegetables or grassy grains.

She has a grown woman's brain in that head of hers, so when an adult noble wants to adopt a dirty, unkempt orphan, why does it never even occur to her that he might be a creeper? She worries that his kids might bully her, but not about him? It should at least cross her mind. js...
He chose to adopt her because she attempted to kill him before asking him to kill her in return. He saw how dead her eyes were and her terror at the thought of staying in the temple. Also, yes, she's lived many lives until adulthood, but she never interacted with others outside of the priests and clergymen like Lavianne, who beat and tormented her for years, and we have no indication that she was even given the knowledge of lustful desires from men so to speak. The Duke was never supposed to be seen as a creep just because he chose to adopt a frightened scruffy orphan child, so I don't get how that is your first thought after how everyone at the church treated her prior to that point.
Agreed.
Excellent response!
I feel like Kallen was a bully when they were kids, and he's a jerk, and he deserves her anger... But I'm starting to feel a bit bad for him. He made a lot of awful choices when he was a child, but he made those decisions as a child. As an adult, he's trying to make amends, and she's fully justified in not forgiving him, but using and manipulating him is a decision she's making as an adult.
Well, his bias as a child followed him long into adulthood that he never stopped to contemplate on even when Korean Girl was desperately fishing for their love, and he does have a dangerously disgusting possessiveness of her (“You NEED to rely on me because I’m all you have” with that kind of weird self-satisfied smile? And getting jealous at the thought of her having other support systems when he hasn’t been one in years? Eughhhh…)
You are right that he is (so far) the only remorseful one around her which minutely softens our view of him (the dad is being very complacent with most of Kanna’s demands but I hesitate to pop him in the remorseful category right now). But I’m with Kanna that it still feels a little self-serving. Especially since he was denying it for so long and being like “I’m not THAT bad” and that he’s working to protect the blonde kid from prejudice but never once stopped to realise that Kanna was going through the same thing when younger up until the present.
I do look forward to a good grovel though and maybe with work, he grows more sincere and ditches that weird hero brother complex he seems to have around her.
Most of these are boilerplate and boring, but this one kept me turning pages. The intrigue was excellent. 9/10.
The FL feels so desperate. And I get that there's some law, but wtf?
