i feel like the story focuses more on the duke and the duchess relationship rather than the different plotholes. it started very chill with the duchess perspective of their relationship. i mean she has never been intimate with her husband, then she suddenly knew his secrets, so divorce was to be expected. but when the duke started opening his mouth, it started to make sense. like aahh this is what the story's about. they were just trying to understand the love they give for each other. it's adorable in a way bc we knew that the guy was totally smitten with her, vice versa. the thing with the side character's story, they just exist to further explain why he's a psycho. well, technically, its the formula needed for his character. but oh well. smut is more on vanilla than s&m. i was expecting hardcore stuff but i guess he really does treat her like a goddess.
overall, very chill, nothing to hype about. good smut, i wish there could be more. and just plain decent.

i like the story, its somehow different and new from the rest, but the execution is freaking terrible. in the past life, they completely wiped out people like it was nothing, bow they tryna make every move a big deal??? i dont get it, why are letting shit to happen. is it because its more interesting that way? it feels so scattered lmao

why make the ice spirit the ml???? freakin disgusting. basically someone who took care of you since you were born,, YES. BORN, BABY, INFANT. OMG WHY??? you watch someone grow up because you see yourself as a protective figure to them not bc you have a hidden agenda to groom her into your lover.
imagine having a relationship with your freaking step-father. catching feelings from him YIKESSSS. whyyyy push through with it?? she can remain without ml, she can achieve happiness without a lover. ALL SHE NEED IS A FAMILY. she could've become a demi god in the end, loved, accepted, and praised by everyone. and they could've remained their father-daughter relationship... fuckin *spits* weird.
THEY COULDVE JUST ENDED IT WITH HER ACCEPTING HER FUTURE, HER VISION, AMBITIONS, THEN HER PURPOSE. THEY COULDVE ENDED IT FOCUSING ON HER GROWTH. BUT NAHHH,,, PEOPLE LOVE ROMANCE SO LETS HAVE HER FUCKING FATHER FIGURE TO BE HER LOVER. SHE'S ALREADY 18 WE COULD GET AWAY WITH IT. YEAH, WE SHOULD LET HIM SEE HER AS A WOMAN NOW. DEVELOP FEELINGS. PROCREATE. BASICALLY I'M OLDER THAN YOUR BIO-FATHER BUT WHO CARES?? I'M THE ONE WHO TOOK CARE OF YOU, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT YOU LOVE ME TOO. SO WHY NOT FUCK, RIGHT? DISSSGUSSSTINGGGGGGG ─=≡Σ(╯°□°)╯︵┻┻
