Last few chapters:
"Ummm...maybe you could free her? Make her an actual employee so she can afford proper dresses and hair accessories, maybe buy a sweet or two, get her a proper uniform. Crazy idea, I know...π"
I'm torn with this novel, I love and adore the art, but both the FL and ML are...π€, meh?
The FL is rather weak and mousy, and can't find any strong points (I guess being able to put up with hardships, but she's way too accepting of whatever crappy hand life throws at her).
The ML is just an "alpha male" prototype at its finest, smart and educated, but can't figure out that maybe she's not happy because she's a slave or maybe use and develop her healing skills...but noooo let's use her like a jack of all trades and still have her be a slave (lowest of the low), but let's also buy her pretty dresses that she won't be able to wear, have her grow out her hair (which she won't be able to give proper maintenance and will get in the way of her hard labor) because she's a slave and will be ostracized more than she already is. Genius! π€¦π»ββοΈ
