Both main characters are so shitty, Idk why the author thought this would be a good love story. The FL is childish, manipulative and selfish, while the ML is an arrogant, spoiled, sexist, misogynistic pig. Dropped at ch. 19 cause it's just impossible to ship these two toxic people and their toxic relationship. Should've written a story about Hector instead

Had so much potential. The story is really well written imo. It has a good pace, an interesting plot and the MC has character development, but my god did the author miss the mark with the male lead. He is no better than the aristocracy that he generalizes and resents, in fact he might be worse. He's conceited, manipulative, hypocritical, mean, greedy, unsympathetic and dishonest, even towards the main character after she's been left traumatized and on the street. And the author never quite manages to convince me he's changed or atone him for this behavior in my eyes. He never has a moment where he admits he regrets behaving the way he did to people, on the contrary, the author actually has him justify some of the terrible sht he did to the MC and her family at the end of the story. And it just casts a permanent shadow over their relationship for me. So yeah, the story is well written. Could have been a 5 star from me, if only the ML wasn't so unlikeable and actually faced his hypocritical douchebag ways.

Love the strong female lead, and the story's premise is good, but unfortunately something about the storytelling feels off and kinda rushed. It's as if we jump from event to event, without really giving any time to properly explore the characters' feelings or thoughts. This makes the romance in particular feel really flat and surface level, since we never actually see them fall in love. They just suddenly are. On top of that, all of the characters are basically flawless - a bunch of Mary Sues an Gary Stus, which makes the story a little boring at times. The art also isn't all that great tbh.
