I love a strong female lead, buuuuut not every story has to have that. And her backstory was fleshed out so well that you can understand why she acts like that. She was through abuse and neglect, her dad hit her then got healers to hide the evidence. Thats traumatizing as hell. She had no family support and was suddenly married off. She can take time to adjust and learn to be confident over time.

This was rushed as hell even though the first few chapters showed that it could have expanded and developed the characters more. Like why are his eyes blue, where is his family, why was Rowell losing sleep and looking lifeless. Why was the other duke calling Rowell darling?? This could have been longer and more interesting rather than what it is. But the art is stunning

Agreed. Story felt a little rushed but I think we could inference that Dev’s eyes are blue bc of his dad (who I assume is a Pel aka a white bread) and Rowell probably looked lifeless bc his parents had died and he had no meaning in life until Dev came along... Their love was kinda quick and random ngl. The story with the other duke also pisses me off. He went from antagonistic, abusive-seeming mf to someone who was just in love with his own Spinel??? Like sorry, I don’t buy it. Everyone getting their own “Spinel” (but oh wait, they’re free now!!) was honestly ridiculous to me.
... art was rly pretty though.

I mean yeah we could kinda figure out that Devs dad was a Pel, but I wanted to see more of his side and maybe get to know him more, maybe his dad was a noble. And I honestly just wanted to see whats running in Rowells mind pre-Dev, even though we know he was traumatized as heck. Overall I just wanted more backstory and character building.

Their dynamic is chaotic at this point. And sure Beom doesn't act the best in regards to his interactions with Dowon, but I guess it makes it interesting. They aren't haven't sex with each other right away and we all know Beom is gonna realize how different having sex with another person will be compared to toys. That's what the author is doing for this build up.

I feel so bad for Violet and all I want for her is to be able to leave the fucking ml and live her own life. She has been through so much shit and no one gave two shits about her. She was in such a bad place physically and mentally that she tried to kill herself TWICE and failed both times. With her switching bodies when she tries to kill herself, she essentially has no way out of the hell she's in. I would rather she just run far away from the ml than continue being with him.

She did though but onlt for 1 year, she pretty much showed him how they switch and it broke him to find out that she killed herself 2x, plus she shot herself in the head in front of him, and then she begged that he let her go she can't stay in this "hell" anymore.
She got away for 1 year then Winter decided to off himself because he can't take this "hell" without Violet, then they switch... he can't die too....
