The Villainess Wants to Enjoy a Carefree Married Life in a Former Enemy Country in Her Seventh Loop!
I dislike this kind of relationship between the FL and ML. You know, the type where their relationship is not tied up by love but something more complicated. The FL says she's interested in the ML. She says she's curious about him more than any theory or hypothesis, which is a big deal for someone who years for more knowledge like her. She also mentions that even if the ML cuts her off from his life she'll never give up and come back in whatever status or situation, insinuating that even in the next loop she'll go back to him. Which us cute but, the real question is, beyond all that, WHY? Why is she saying all that? Like, what is her deal? What's her angle? What does she wish to gain from that? Why is she doing this? Like, is she in love with him or something? Cause she sure as hell not saying or even thinking about it! The ML is quiet and expressionless. Which is not unusual as the ML, being cool and mysterious is just part of their personalities. That's fine by me. What irks me here is that the first time they properly met, he told the FL he fell for her and then proceeds to propose to her. It's fine. But then he goes to go through the indifferent route. He shows his affections here and there, albeit subtly, but that's not the kind of attitude you'd expect from a guy who brought a woman from another kingdom and declared he's in love with her, when he's clearly not showing or behaving like it. He shouldn't have said he fell for her and just say he's interested in her. Also, I would've understood it if they had an agreement or a professional relationship in a contractually agreed engagement, but NO. Are they in love with each other? NO. So what's with them? This is why I hate these kinds of relationships. There's no label (technically there is on paper but emotionally, no) and their relationship is far more complicated and far more complex that the definition of LOVE. Which just annoys the hell out of me. I'm here to read something along those lines, not something that's almost philosophical at this point. I can't be interpreting and assuming everything that's going on between the characters based on just how they act. They have to say it too for me to confirm my assumptions. In any case, those are just my complaints. So far the art is good, the character designs are absolutely stunning. The concept is interesting, not uncommon but interesting nonetheless. And the story flow and pacing is just right, though any slower and it won't be long for me to feel old. I really appreciate the story despite my complaints. Those are just my complaints and comments, you can just disregard them because I don't actually want to change the story. It's good as it is. Anyways, I'm wanting more! Hoping for more!
