the concept and the reviews all misunderstand

I originally started reading this bc I got the spoiler that she left her husband and I thought it was be entertaining/satisfying to read. The reviews on this story were all shitting on the fact the FL is a coward/pushover and the ML is awful. However, when I read a little further I realized a lot of people completely misunderstand this plot. They see bjorn's actions and think this webtoon justifies and romanticizes them when in fact, they showcase exactly what the title suggest. This man is horrible inside and out, and the Erna loved such a flawed man until finally his actions pushed her too far and she broke. Bjorn's inner thoughts aren't meant to be any indication of love, but a horrible need for control, manipulation and possession. He doesn't "realize too late he loves her," he only realizes that she has regained control over herself. It's about the deeply tragic path the FL walks on just to realize she's trapped inside a terribly abusive marriage. She leaves, by her own accord, with her own amazing strength. People who say she's weak don't realize that she's stronger than most female protagonists in these types of stories. She's overcome a miscarriage and a husband who let her become a scapegoat to a societal hatred and bullying. Throughout it all, you can slowly she her decay, the lack of life she has even in the clothes she chooses to wear. It is a gut wrenching story that is worth the read.

    Couldn't have said it better. You can read the novel, it's somewhere in the internet, a good read as well.
