I can't read this anymore. The story doesn't seem to be fully acknowledging the depth of ML's neglect of his wife. She's literally being abused and he's just a little annoyed at her abusers, and equally annoyed with her because she understandably misinterpreted his neglect as a lack of care for her. He keeps getting annoyed that she misunderstands him, but he makes no effort to clarify his feelings or communicate like a damn adult. Literally all it would take is a tiny bit of effort to communicate and their problems would be resolved, and I have to put the brunt of that responsibility on the ML because the FL is BEING ABUSED AND GASLIGHTED. I read some spoilers and it seems to me the story tries to draw an equivalence between ML and FL, and I'm sorry, but no. Not sticking around for that. This is too frustrating and deeply unsatisfying/unsettling for me to put up with. Dropping this.
He avoided her for 3 years (he said this himself in his head) and then is surprised that she thinks he hates her.
The reason I'm liking it is because, realistically, they have no problems besides that he feels inferior to her, which we've seen they can get over with communication (though that's a slow burn so far). They can be happy with communication and by removing the external factors (parents) that are going out of their way to harm his wife.
The pacing is weird and it feels like there are several missing pages. The FL so far has no personality trait other than "always afraid." ML so far has no personality trait other than "vaguely threatening." Art is solid but nothing distinctive or particularly eye-catching. Probably going to drop this.
i mean who wouldn’t be scared when they died at the hands of the ml and not only that he sounds threatening to her so of course she’d be on guard and afraid.
Yeah... thing is... apart of being afraid she has nothing. No personality, no brains... nothing. And that's the problem...
