I like stories where we follow a MC in their childhood and this FL had some very PTSD worthy early years. But then she joined the household of Ein Castielo, her biological father and Karl Castielo, her older brother. The relationship between these 3 was really the healthiest relationship in the story and was something to enjoy.
I liked the choice for ML. His loyalty and protectiveness were great but he could get a bit carried away with the noble self sacrifice at times. I appreciated that he ensured that Estelle had time apart from him to grow out of that childish puppy love to the deeper love of an adult. Sure I wanted to shake some sense into him at times, but if he had been the 2nd ML in the story I would have felt he was cheated by the author. In the end, he had earned a place beside the FL and you couldn’t doubt their strong love for each other,
