very unique plot, where the MC has to live through the events of storybooks/novels— as the villain— against his will. he turns out to be SUCH an interesting character, and the central romance he has is a sloowww burn that starts a little questionable, but you end up rooting for them with your full heart anyway.
clandestine relationships, a sprinkle of angst, secrets that build up to dramatic reveals, slowly uncovered backstories— but still so fun! straight up delicious. cant get enough of this.
