But really, I know she is in her 30s, but most people in their 30s aren't that settled down.
If she were 50/60, ok.
Or of it were just her personality, then no matter her age.
But it's like they attribute all her "maturity/forethought/placidity" to her age.

Those last chapters were barely legible.
Overall - James is a son of a bitch. Disgusting rapist, neglectful, egotistical, egocentric, and I hope he burns in hell. (╬￣皿￣)凸
Poor Olivia. That is a very classic symptom of abuse - she always tries, even unconsciously, to justify his actions. ╥﹏╥
That is a self protection mechanism. She blames herself, trying to find a way to emotionally connect or gain some form of control over his abusive behaviour.
That this story describes so clearly that, and shows her processing her trauma and fighting against that pathological way of thinking deserves respect and recognition.
Fighting! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Although there are many, many, MANY sex scenes, even MORE crying scenes and no progress on the plot... it's not a bad story.
There is no "vicious original female" or the not so subtle female hate that permeates most yaoi.
Just love and sexual preferences. The ogMC (Female) is a nice girl. She does have a face. She isn't a green tea btch just waiting an opportunity to pounce and reveal her nastiness. And there is no "the prince is mine/you are in the way/one-sided romance with the ML". Points for that.
The ML does somewhat understand consent (like no penetration without an explicit yes) but the MC has no idea what he wants. And since the beginning MC never said stop.
Normally he says "no more" which I'm starting to guess is another way sexuals say yes. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Overall, it's a nice story to read when bored.
"The ML does somewhat understand consent"
Well that didn't age well
He knows it exists, at least.
That's just even worse, when he then also ignores it. Can't even say it's ignorance
Yup.
I believe consent should always be clear and explicit, leaving no room for doubt. Yes or no. If yes, negotiation on what, how, when. If no, no and not at all.
Sadly, in most stories this is not clear to neither of the protagonists.
One says "No, wait, stop, it hurts when you *are this agressive*"
The other changes his approach to a less aggressive one.
So he says "No, wait, *not the tip*".
Clear? Not at all.
In my opinion? Mutual rape. After all, let's not forget the "Love potion" (if working) and all that.
Why so many freaking flowers on her dress?
I had read this manga before, but forgot and came to read again.
And I have to say, I'm amazed by my persistence to have read it at all the first time.
It isn't just fast paced. It goes on the speed of light with thrown in your face dialogue that can make even the most lovable cliche cringeworthy.
I love a good cliche. But the characters are so flat that there's not even the slightest emotional connection to the story.
The other 2 did not appear again, and now this happened to Cero.
Random giant fairy, suddenly growing up in pretty clothes, very predictable plan and... fck if I didn't get slightly apprehensive and changed my wording in case a truck happens to me.
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I shower at least once every single day and deodorant is my best friend.
But. She. Doesn't. Use. SOAP.
That truly surprised me. I mean...healing an decapitation seems a bit more like immortality than just healing.
It just... reattached itself. Σ( ￣□￣||)
This manga is such a refreshing change of pace!
Healthy relationships, understanding, respect and above all COMMUNICATION!

sorry yooooo, i wanted to like it
Why do people insist in posting already posted chapters?
When it's the official version, ok.
But so many repeated chapters (specially out of order) makes reading choppy.
