I like the contrivance the plot goes through to delay the romance. We know it's inevitable, THEY know it's inevitable, yet we're still dancing around the issue in a comedic and endearing way. I simply enjoy it for what it is.
There were some ultra-nerds discussing "oh kidnapping is bad and mega creepy and why is it just swept under the rug?" a few chapters back... Yeah mates, SHE DOESN'T CARE so why should you? Is she depicted as delusional? As having the "they hit you cause they love you" mentality? Grow some feminism on your balls and realize that allowing HER to make the final judgment is also part of empowering female characters.
The balance between the MC and ML in this manhwa is particularly good, so what is your deal?
