This is all types of messed up. I’ve been in relationships where miscommunication ran rampant, especially refusal to understand the other party and it’s not fun at all, just like this story. However, I’ll give it a second chance. Idk if the ML is redeemable at this point tbh it all feels too long and drawn out just for the sake of a chapter release 😒 just like “the rebel princess” so slooww. However I’ll give Nocturn the benefit of the doubt that he’s not well socialized and doesn’t have the mental capacity to understand due to his moms abuse that maybe, MAYBE some people like Duroa are naturally null to black magic and Duroa is just blowing things out of proportion and SHE also may not have to capacity to understand that imperial families are messed up, abusive and all types of stupid ! She was prob never abused in her past life, maybe that’s it, however, I find it very strange someone like her has never been abused in her 1st life. I find it hard to believe that she doesn’t see what’s wrong with Nocton as an individual and only as a “villain,” it’s sad she still sees them as “characters of a story”...that’s not very analytical of her🙄 as someone who “reads novels” it’s very crucial as a reader! Especially critical thinking! more character development please .. I like Alice the best 😌
