I genuinely do not understand why people hate the ML or the FL. To be quite honest, they have the most refreshing slow burn romance I’ve seen in this genre so far and it’s brilliant. The FL is never a damsel in distress and their power dynamic is so equal and balanced it’s actually amazing. This is what it means to truly “support” eachother, not those other romance Isekai where the ML pushed their own agendas on the FL or overprotects her and vice versa.
Literally, this ML is one of the very rare male characters that actually NEVER forces his feelings upon the FL nor does he overstep his boundaries by making her decisions for her. He listens to her, but isn’t a brainless simp either. He doesn’t intervene unless she is genuinely in danger and allows her to do as she pleases. It cannot get better than that. Even if she puts herself in danger on purpose, he doesn’t try to “talk” her out of it or guilt trip her into stopping her plans because he’s concerned for her safety. He trusts her and accepts her plans as they are and tries his best to accommodate her wishes without intruding into her plans, even if he personally feels differently.
And the FL actually stays in character the whole time. She isn’t suddenly falling and blushing for the ML out of nowhere, nor does she immediately rely on him. She’s independent, but also not “dense” to the point where it gets annoying. She’s always honest and sincere with her feelings, and I think that is what makes her amazing. There’s no manipulation on her part and she treats him with respect just like he does. It genuinely feels like a friends to partners to lovers story and I enjoy every moment of their budding romance. It feels so realistic, well-paced, and subtle.
I have no idea how people think the romance is fast-paced and cannot wonder if it’s a problem with reading comprehension, because the both of them are definitely not crazy over each other after less than three meetings. They still treat each other as friends despite having some “feelings” for the other, prioritizing their plans and the other’s wellbeing before romance. There’s no stupid or forced blushing moments; it really feels like a proper slow burn romance. They are not lovers, and yet are always willing to stand by each other’s side. I don’t know about y’all but I seriously think their relationship is SUPER GREEN flag. Way better than most in this genre, in fact.
