Relationship Dynamics

How they started interacting with the target: At first, Noel appeared shy around her and suggested they could meet again in a month for their engagement party. He doesn't object to her desire to get to know him better.

Initial behavior: sweet, shy, distant,

Progression: He states he fell in love with her at first sight, but there is no scene stating it.

Current dynamic: healthy-looking facade, heroine doesn't resist or feel threatened

Boundaries: Does not visibly cross her stated boundaries, which softens his perceived intensity Danger level Low(Covert/Situational)

manipulates from behind the scenes

loves everything she does, even the food she eats

My Thoughts The story is okay. I really like how the heroine is persistant and optimistic about love. The heroine thinks about others even if they hurt her. Noel is a tame yandere with no high stakes. Since this is an anthology, there is not a lot of character development. I feel like the author puts the cursed duke with no curse cliché as a trauma factor or pity point. His trauma felt underwhelming and also random. If he thinks he is cursed, then he would've develop self-loathing and possibly isolation. In the story, he felt like any normal person who can have have these thoughts sometimes
