I mean, it’s titled “The Villain’s saviour” for a reason... I’m personally glad we didn’t get a downplayed version of a “villain” in this manga. It would be easy to make the ML charming and, well, normal. The fact that this male lead is truly psychopathic, he’s not just called a “villain”, is a refreshing change from all those manga where the ML is rumoured to have been a big bad guy but turns out to actually be alright in person.
Spoiler to Zay’s tears: The negative energy from ML is being converted to MC as tears. She’s actually helping ML from being corrupted by the demon by crying. (〜￣△￣)〜
jeez why is the MC always crying? like almost every time she meets the dude she has a crying sesh smh. and that wouldn't have been annoying in itself, but it's paired with the fact that the MC's one defining quality is her love for the ML, like c'mon, give her some more personality!! her sister and her maid have plenty of personality, so what happened when her quota of personality?!? QAQ;
and the ML isn't any better, he's freakin insane and not in a good way. he goes around threatening his household staff with death after being an inconsistent and inconsiderate asshole to them, anD HE FUCKING POISONED THAT WHOLE HORSE JUST TO GARNER SYMPATHY FROM THE MC JEEZUS WHY DID YOU DO THAT HORSE DIRTY YOU PRICK?!?!?!?
The secondary characters (not including the dad till we figure out his motives) are pretty cool tho lmaooo
