The plot is original and felt different from what we usually read. The ML 's father is complex and it's not easy to understand his plan/goal. You see Solidor and Mel's relationship growing, but it breaks my heart the FL may thinks Mel dont like her as he think, but more because of his feeling of despair (not seeiing any color or any face in the world, but only her).
It's really warming to see a character developping some feelings just by how Solidor helped the ML, how they lived such horror as his memories together, even if Solidor was in an animal state - and not at a first sight because of how they may look.
But I have to admit, it was kind of weird and akward to see them waking up from this long route, with not that much alchemy between them at first - because Solidor didn't had as much romance in her perspective, as Mel had.
Just wish there will be a little bit more romance and a more clear idea of the family politic behind all that, because actually it's kind of mess. Wasn't that the goal? Creating a family political mess so you would want to read more and more? Can't wait to read the next chapters!
