this FL isn’t great. she just sorta exists in the palace. she doesn’t do much aside from fuck and give therapy to the ML.
from the get go she was smitten w the ML and that whole “seduce THEN kill” plan flew out the window.. where is the badass assassin stuff? and why the fuck is every other guy in the series abusive toward her? the CP, her “brother,” the royal cabinet, etc.. the emperor being like “my b” after his appointed heir attempted to hit the FL (AGAIN) has me like
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
why can’t the FL just live her own life and figure out what SHE wants without being pressured by her family and even her (new) friends??? like- “omg now that ur trying to break it off w ur fiancé who are you gonna end up with now??” LET HER HEAL FROM HIS INFIDELITY FIRST!! I understand the political nature of it- but her brother can marry a rich lady and bring honor to the family that way- and he’s gonna work for the fuckin crown prince so he’s gonna get hella honor and money anyway!
FL spent her life with pretty much no family (aside from the servants.. who had to keep a certain distance from her bc the classist hierarchy n shit). neglect REALLY fucks with the brain and how people process trauma, but i doubt this author knows/cares enough to include her working on her issues. she’ll just end up with either the prince (who clearly doesn’t know proper reptile husbrandy smh smh) or the duke (typical)- and “fix” her issues by being with them (“oh wow i got the love i needed <3” instead of “i love myself, and before my family n shit i am ME”. this story is just a continuation of her life without choices, she WILL end up with one of those men.
she’s sweet.. perhaps too sweet. the staff treat her like shit (like bro- they’re PAID to serve you, fuck the curse get that BREAD). ML doesn’t know how to express emotions (typical) and is off to a ROUGH start with the FL. she’s there to SAVE HER FUCKIN COUNTRY, and he’s like “>:( fuck you!” like- c’mon man, act like a fuckin future ruler and hear her out.
there’s only 4 chapters so i don’t wanna fully shit on the series, but i hope the FL grows a backbone and starts standing up for herself
i mean.. like.. it’s not great. it’s quite bland. has the hella possessive ML, overprotective bro, and the “villainous family” trope FL. idk what it is about this story that just has me like( ̄へ ̄)
like ma’am if ur bros attitude bothered you that much why didn’t you try to run away before? she was just like “yep my bro’s possessive, can’t escape the tower :(“ for her whole childhood. like babe- ur a “genius” like ur brother you could’ve found a hole in the towers barrier or straight up destroyed a side of it to escape and go out on the town. OR better yet, summon ur own fucking beast and use it to get out of the tower (like a bird or some shit). the FL lacks character. she just sorta exists, and now bc she has the ML on her side she’s like “NOW imma run away >:D” (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
fuck the ML and all the other men around her. i imagine learning that the “spy” you captured was just some depressed ass woman who transmigrated.. AND YET YOU STILL SAY SHES A SPY? omfg i just hate shit like this. none of the signs (aside from her being “near where the spy got away”) point to her being a spy. any investigation would show she doesn’t fucking exist in this world. god. it’s not even “enemies to lovers” it’s “abuser to lover” and that’s unhealthy as fuck.











mannnnn BDSM is one of those kinks where communication is the BIGGEST thing. you have to establish each others limits, safe words, etc.. and neither of them are great at communication. also- the choking was ick. choking someone to the point of being unconscious (REPEATEDLY??) is a sure fire way of depriving their brain of oxygen and potentially cause brain damage… this is like.. soft snuff. not BDSM, just sexualized violence.
if richard could he’d prob be drawn n quartered for pleasure Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
