The Premise of this story has a lot of difficult topics, like mass genocide, rape, family abuse, and it just glides over these topics to excuse behaviors of characters. With little acknowledgement to the situations. The FL is kind, so kind she is extremely Naive, can’t stand up for her self. Is can’t voice her opinions and thinks badly of herself. Willing to sacrifice herself and cause self suffering because she believes she deserves it for being born out of wedlock by prostitute. Also the topic of her mom was a single sentence just to justify why her family is so mean. The ML is not much better, he did bad things in warfare and hates himself. He got married to her just to torture himself hopping she would be this evil woman, but she is not. So now we have two self hating people as the leads trying to be nice to each other. This story just feels super forced and no set up for character development, and all these hard topics just tossed in and glanced over, layered and layered on top of each other, with no direction of overcoming any of it. They can’t even communicate well enough to trauma bond. This really is a saint Damsel in distress, who needs a knight to come and save her, and instead she got a self hating war hero who wants to be assainated because he is filled with so much guilt.
