okay so very rough start but if you get past it it gets a lot better, I swear
Tbh I don’t even know why I kept reading with the insane start this story had, but I guess if you gift the ML the biggest possible benefit of the doubt it makes some sense
In the start, ML is a nobleman, conquers a territory n meets FL who has the former lords mistress and slave, and falls in love with her at first sight but he lowk sucks as a person (womanizer) so instead of honestly pursuing her he pm tries to SA her? But he never actually does he stops himself every time he pushes.. still really weird tho.
I think the author was trying to make it like he only knew how to be lustful before meeting her and then learning to be earnest in showing his interest/love?
If you get past all of that it turns into your usual romance, actually kind of sweet… the author could have literally done that without that wack start. ML seemed like some kind of obsessive manipulative predator at the beginning, now he’s a sweet little lover boy. It is a LOT better tho
