First, for those thinking the story is a mess, know that you’re reading from the perspective of the FL, she has limited knowledge of the world even as someone that has played the game, through out the story not only she realizes that she is missing information but even the information she had is not the truth or was very badly told.
She’s also not stupid, she’s also quite intelligent given the survival choices that keep being thrown at her.
Also, Barkan (unlike other jerk ML that just go through a redemption ark to clear them of their misdeeds) he actually goes through out the whole story, changing and maturing, to the point that he learns to love, respect, protect and confide in FL but also ends up protecting and bonding with her family.
It’s actually quite a good read where both leads grow in character and you learn that not everything is as it seems
When are my gallos going into battle?! (Unji Zuma, Rokudo, even police dad)
And I hope Red Baron go into alliance with Okarun and the gang, though I also suspect that he’s going to be a pain in the butt
