Gaslight. Gatekeep. Girl no. I went into this expecting something wholesome and lighthearted, only to be faced with a main character who was concerning.
at one point the main character expressed a desire to silence a crying infant with a knife. Her love interest was a total incel. I really hope that one just missing something due to it being a translated work, but honestly, the main character and male lead were both horrible people.
