This is a fine interpretation of Hades-Persephone tbh. I'm not mad about people romanticizing and turning Hades into a torn and misunderstood hero. It's an entirely different story with the same names. No biggie. I definitely enjoyed this one. A bit wordy, a bit cheesy, a bit insta-love-y but meh not shabby. It definitely underdelivered on the dark smut part. Other than a couple of scenes where they fucked with spectators it's pretty par for course in any other romance. Hades calls himself a dom I call him a deluded simp. It's cool.
