Same! I learned I gotta judge for myself when it comes to books, shows,etc. Because I've even seen stories on here where people in the comments are ripping it apart and claiming the fl is weak or stupid, etc. Yet when I read it myself, what they're calling weak is the fl struggling the way Ruby does at time or just having a soft personality. It appears everyone has to be cold and vindictive these days to be a "strong FL" to some people lol so I started ignoring comments and reviews and just jump into things on my own. If I hate it, I hate it but at least I'll come to that conclusion on my own. So I'm glad you did the same and were able to discover this gem!
When I saw edits of this manhwa I wasn't planing to read it bc of how the ml treated the fl. Now I know I shouldn't be relying on edits only. Apart from "Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess" this is the second manhwa that made me cried.... for the fl gotta add to my favourite now
