The story tries to make her out to be some kind of independent woman but she's constantly tripping over her own feet and there was no way she was ever going to take over as her family's heir anyways, she's weak as hell and I don't think she ever does any real fighting even though she's a knight. Plus she has no personality beyond being smart, pretty, and nice to people.
The prince also has no personality beyond being smart and having a rough childhood because daddy didn't show him enough love or something. After they both fall in love the prince starts to always go on about wanting to respect Aristia's decisions but he never actually does that and instead stalls or constantly works to dissuade her from dissolving their engagement. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

You see the problem with these type of stories where the protagonist goes back to the past and in the end, still ends up with her past abuser with the excuse of "he's changed, he's not the same person as he was in the past" is that it romanticizes past trauma, toxic relationships, and abusive behavior which is not and will never be a good reading material. Your pain or even a drug, although explains it, is never an excuse to abuse another. Moreover, the characters don't feel real at all, they just serve as a plot device so the audience's sympathy would fall on the female protagonist. Having side characters as a plot device isn't a bad thing yes but your main cast shouldn't just serve as some plot device, sadly in this case, they do.
While we don't blame the characters for turning into what they are, it is ultimately the author's fault. Stories involving emotional abuse and healing over it takes a lot of emotional maturity. If the author intended for Ruve and Tia to end up together, she shouldn't have made him Tia's abuser. As a writer, you have the responsibility to take proper care of the themes you want to portray in order to not send the wrong message to your audience. Stories shape worldviews, folks.
So I caution you, only read this if you want an example of what bad writing is, how you shouldn't romanticize certain things, how the characters only serve as a plot device for the protagonist, and how the author failed to deliver her story's chosen themes properly.

I agree with you on this one. I mean, the blue haired guy abused the FL and killed their unborn child. That was too much. And the reason was that he's JEALOUS OF HER?? WHAT THE FUCK? DOES THAT JUSTIFY HIM ABUSING HER AND KILLING A CHILD? This is really bad writing.
Believe me, I do not really approve of sending death threats to the author. The story just became trash and I get people's reaction of this.
There are manwhas similar to this but the ML is not as insane as this ML right here. In the Lady of the Lamp story, the ML was understandable and everything.
I thought she was gonna be badass but she was just controlled by the system lol

If she hadn't practiced she would have failed completely obviously.
