I truly adore this novel, but I must admit, it feels quite sluggish to me. The progression of the main character (MC) and male lead (ML)'s relationship isn't substantial. Due to their contrasting social standings, the ML tends to communicate minimally with the MC, leaving her hanging and feeling insecure. Moreover, his reserved nature further complicates matters, as the MC struggles to understand his emotions and tries hard to win his affection. Unfortunately, her efforts often go unnoticed or misunderstood, making me wonder if he even appreciates her attempts (at times, I wondered if he disliked her). The revelation of his resentment towards her comes from the fact that she is seen as wasting the effort he put into their connection.
The lack of open dialogue between them gradually escalates into a significant issue, culminating in the MC's decision to part ways with the ML. Chapter 101 marks a turning point, where the story returns to the events depicted in the prologue. I'm eagerly anticipating what unfolds after the MC decides to run away.
