Oh my god....i don't think I ever read anything like this ever... 😳😳

The way the story is depicted I think I never read it that way... It has still very few chapters but I am going to wait for it to bloom into a beautiful story... Great translation and interesting plot lines are always welcomed... Thank you translators.. 🤗❤️

An absolutely fascinating world with a lot of effort put into world-building via POV-switch flashbacks. The romance is both slow and early but the story starts, in terms of the romance, in media res, meaning that we get exposed to info about how long their feelings had been building in the background of it all without going through a potentially very tedious "living apart, war record" phase to the story.

part of the overall length is the number and depth of flashback side plots where we go off for 3-20 chapters... more>> to explore the life (and romances) of various narratively critical characters outside the core set.

Themes about what makes a marriage/romance 'real' or not; how history with multiple partners can create complex, troublesome circumstances later; how to reconcile-or-revenge and grow beyond the impacts of previous marriages and/or adulterous relationships; and sibling dynamics between tenuously blood-related people are all huge parts of the narrative and drive many of the diversions away from the main 'present-day' plot lines.

the characters feel like realistic people, though many are not especially fleshed out or get exposition without much growth, as page count remains devoted to the core couple, the people who affect them and their circumstances the most, and the ways those people can throw the core couple into greater contrast and definition. <<less
