Sometimes MC seems a little clueless…she felt something was off with the ML but brushed it off like her past self did. She knew he seemed certain he’d die and that guardians die mysteriously but officially by monster attacks…I love the ML but he just made her a divorcee instead of a widow did her no favors. I need a side story or even a different story about Kate and Swan pls
Commoner and Emperor. Not “realistic” in fiction. Feel like a couple like this could never get their “happy ever after”
i wish stories that had the trope of noble x commoner would have more conflict and show the struggle of them being together due to the differences in their social classes. I know these stories tend to be light hearted. The only person who usually objects the main character couple is the "villainess" of the story, who tends to be the nobles fiance. and i understand why she would object-- its her fiance.. makes sense.
However, i wish these authors made something deeper. Something that allowed you to root for the characters because of the injustice they face by society for simply being in love. I also wish authors would show the darker sides of their worlds alot more: the wealth gap between the nobles and the commoners, how nobles look down on commoners and believe commoners are of a lower birth and maybe the main character realising how easy she has it inside the palace compared to the commoners outside. I would love to see that. A main character recognising their privelage and recognising the flaws of their world.
But alot of the time the story is through rose tinted glasses where the mcs always win and walk down a flowery path the whole time.
Thats why alot of the noble fantasy trope is a bore to me. I still read it but i dont expect anything great or beyond surface level.
Tbh I’m surprised about how the ML still treats him in the present timeline. He has moments of indifference, coldness, and aloof, but then he acts like a good person getting him what he needs, helping him sleep etc. I feel bad for the MC. He’s just pushed around by everyone.
It’s the guilt of treating him like garbage vs the affection and love he feels that he doesn’t deserve to have for Sejin
Of course this is all by his design bc he feels that Sejin deserves a fresh start (hence the whole fiasco in s2) but you’ll see moments here and there where his possessiveness and inscrutable nature jumps out lol. He actually speaks about it later on and says how he was trying to walk a fine line of respectability and guilt.
I don’t understand why Rutger would want/ask advice from someone who was shitty to the person he loves(?). She also simply accepts living with her dad again like he didn’t abandon her. I thought her revenge would be terrible for the person who sold her off three times. The ML may have loved her but he literally didn’t talk to her. No matter the excuse, he kept quiet about everything…











At this point it’s dragging on and doing side quest lmao. I still like the story, just wish there was more or a point of direction…
