A lot of people really, really loved this series when it started. A strong heroine, a cool shota love interest, an interesting world, dark pasts and a beautiful present...
...and then it just, fell apart. Random sexually assaulting males get thrown at the "too-nice" heroine over and over and over, while the male lead just suffers on the sidelines repeatedly trying to rescue her, and at some point the author failed to distinguish between being an open-minded, all-loving heroine and rape apologist, unforgivably so.
