Don’t judge the book for it's cover.
Judge the book and it’s cover.
I’ll give it to you cold. FML is taken without consent by the one she saved - ML - made to live in a precarious and unsafe situation (the whole kingdom hates humans) just because the ML wants to marry her. She gets threatened multiple times - suffering from all kinds of abuse - and lastly is accepted by the kingdom she didn’t even choose in the first place. And she is only accepted because her blood is powerful and she cuts herself frequently to create medicine to save them.
Obs: All for the kingdom/people who detested her and to whom she must “prove her worth” for some reason. - It’s brainwash in my opinion - Everything to be able to marry the guy who took her without consent from the beginning.
And the ML? Truly worthless. He doesn’t provide any sort of physical or emotional protection/safety, leaving her emotionally vulnerable (she is also poisoned and almost raped) and she is always the one to save him. He took her to danger bc he wanted to marry her only to “leave her to her own devices” in an enemy country.
My honest opinion: the FML shouldn’t try any longer for anything. He doesn’t meet her standards - which include a loving husband and a non abusive family. Her non negotiables seem negotiable for some reason. I mean, her hormones do mess with her clarity so there’s that.
The ML, for another instance, disappoints me again and again. For example, the FML’s mom hits her while she is pregnant - he just watches beside her. But right after, her father tells the guards to arrest him - and she throws herself in front of him to protect him. See the difference? She is using her pregnant body to protect him while he watches her beside her doing nothing.
He drowns in his own misery while she is actively looking to solve things herself. Even in FML’s dream of their “future together”, he was sitting down in a chair watching the kids and she was wearing an apron doing housework.
He may like her, but that’s it. He doesn’t have a backbone, nor an actual sense of responsibility. He doesn’t even love her, or the child, yet. He was just caught in the motions and is acting based on the circumstances.
In terms of emotions, the seme is detached and doesn’t need much to feel satisfied, but the uke is more sensitive and needs more emotional nurturing/reassurance.
The difference in emotional needs creates imbalance.
The seme does not communicate his expectations (in his head, the uke should clearly confess bc they clearly like each other, whereas uke receives a different signal in actual interactions). Also, seme is not in touch with his feelings. “I didn’t realize it but I felt a chill when he said he wanted to break up”.
Uke is in touch with his feelings but holds back fearing the reaction he will receive from his boyfriend, tho he did express his feelings clearly multiple times.
I would say the uke gives acts of service and wants to receive words of affirmation/quality time. The seme gives and receives physical touch and perhaps values gifts (like a handmade scarf).
They are bending logic to make it so that she needs to become worthy of him. “We desperately need your help to save the country that killed your father so try hard to match our expectations”. (︶︿︶)＝凸
“I would like a partner who is proud of me” ╥﹏╥
where?
I think the pain in my chest started to get worst
The ML is insufferableeeeee wtf
