what was he like in the novel?
It's been awhile since I read the novel, but if I recall, he basically waited half a year before he finally advertised that she went missing. He was still all about pride and reputation that he hesitated on broadcasting she was missing. And unlike the manhwa, in the novel, he knows she was on her way to leave him. She was scheduled to go the quiet countryside and he was going to let her go, but midway, she goes missing.
He thought he could secretly cover up her disappearance and find her with his own power but then 6 months go by before he finally realizes he can't depend on his own power to find her, so puts up a bounty to find Millie.
A psychopath. Really. I hope in the manwha they keep making him less perverse
And all he does to her after finding her? Pure torture
Please elaborate a bit more
Guilt trip, gaslight, stalking. When he finds her, Millie was holding hands with a man and pretending to be pregnant. He has an absolute panic attack when he thought Millie got with another man. However, millie was only pretending to be a couple bc it would give her a discount on a store she wanted to buy. Later, he finds the guy he thought was millies new beau kissing another woman, so he beats the absolute crap out of him.
Then afterwards, he wouldn't stop bugging her, and almost even debates ruining her Cafe so that she would have no choice but to come back to him. At one point, millie is harassed by some men, and he's thinking to let her get roughed up a bit and then go save her so she'd feel grateful to him.
Oh, I also forgot to mention that he purposely gets run over by a carriage and almost dies from it bc he thought if he got injured, millie will hear about it and come running to nurse him back to health. It's when she doesn't appear even after he almost dies, that he FINALLY accepts that maybe millie is dead.
A perverse individual indeed. I WISH the manwha could tone down at least a bit
Holy frick, and i guess even after all that Millie will still end up with him at the end (please tell me she doesn't end up with him, please)
She does......
But she does. They always does. If u guys know some story where that doesn't happen PLEASE let me know
Do*
I read a bit of the novel, and the manhwa changed the motive and the ML a bit. They made him more sympathetic and self-reflective. If you hate the ML in the manhwa, you will hate him even MORE in the novel.
