I procrastinated for a long time after letting this marinate overtime. I binged read this & tbh I liked it. Sure, it was not as indepth as the novel but somehow i didn't hate it as much as I initially thought I would.
Our ML is a red flag thoroughly. But he plays it so well and he is very well aware of his actions. He's a villain that knows how to play his cards right, he isn't like the typical male lead. He manipulated everything around FL just so that she could love him & he even accepts that. While our FL is strong in her own way. There's a subtle feminine way about her characteristics that feels like she's being wrapped around Damien's fingers but it turns out the total opposite when you get to see Damien's POV of how much Chloe occupies his mind, body and soul.
Well, I like the groveling from the ML, all while him still not accepting his mistake is very Damien coded. Only when Chloe decides to accept her love for him & to return to him as his wife does he say he'd kneel for her a thousand times. In a way the ML is written well. I hated him but I also would have folded like how the FL did.
