Oh good. It's not just methis anthology has been quite weak as mentioned
anyone has a link to that manga mentioned at the end?, i can't find it on MD
He framed it as a “mercy” killing. Basically, either the rebels would’ve killed her or the neighboring kingdom. But, you’re right, he should’ve been teaching her how to run a nation, instead of letting her be a puppet.I didn’t like this one. I don’t understand why he murdered her and the whole keep her pretty thing was creepy. She was never actively malicious and she’s clearly capable of learning if people teach her. And even once she returned he’s weird and manipulative. At least the art was cute.
Having read a ton of romance-fantasy slop, I'll say you're being very generous in your interpretation 😬 Far too often an obsessive creep like this is meant to be the lovable male lead.Okay, on a re-read, maybe it is a story about a really creepy guy pursuing a girl past her afterlife, and we're supposed to be creeped out by the spectacled ponytail-wearig bastard. For all her gushing about how handsome he is, and how they had a fateful encounter in the past, she does not give in by the point where the story cuts off.
Or rather, I want to believe that, because the alternative of it being intentionally romantic story unsettles me.
